High Five for Friday

dress: H&M  vest: kohls  shoes: payless

1. After quite a bit of debating I decided to dye my hair dark.  It's been more than 5 years that I've had blond hair and I was ready for a change.  This is definitely the darkest my hair has been.  So far I like it most of the time, but I still having a hard time getting used to it!

2. While we were camping I read this book and thought it was hilarious. 

3. I think this picture of my nephew riding my dad's horse is one of the cutest things I've seen. 


4. I think Old Navy should stop enticing me with their coupons and deals.  
I do not need more clothes. 


5. While I am not quite ready for summer to be over I do greatly look forward to Fall and getting into more of a routine.  Especially with cooking and eating at home.  Here's one recipe I'm excited about making. 

Tim Tebow's (mom's) Pizza Pie as seen on ABC morning news

Hope you have a great weekend!

    Your hair looks great darker! I died mine darker once, but after two weeks of constantly playing with my makeup, I decided it was the hair color that had to go! Your dad's horse is gorgeous! And, if you read my post from today, you will know will love pizza pie!

    I have been dying to read that book and keep forgetting the name of it!
    I may or may not have taken a slight detour while reading this post to write it on my book list.

    I love your hair. I was thinking that maybe I should do dark highlights instead of light ones. Right now, I've got the unintentional ombre thing going and I kinda like the dark roots (that sounds so backwards).
    I'm so ready for a routine! While I don't wanna get up early, I want something to do all day!

    I love your hair dark! A whole new look!

    That pizza pie looks amazing!

    I'm getting excited for Fall! But I think it has a lot more to do with what I get to wear :)

    You are beautiful with darker hair... I loved you as a sweet blonde, but this is a bit spicier, and I like it! Even though I no longer have a regular school schedule, seeing all the elementary school kids go back to class puts me in a more structured Fall schedule too! (and makes me long for back to school shopping!)

    Your new hair color is cute, but it would take me some getting used to, too! Being a slightly blind person who refuses to wear glasses most of the time I frequently rely on recognizing people by the color of their hair. :P It works unless they dramatically change it.
    And I love that bohemian style you've got!

    The new darker hair looks great on you, Katie! I think it'll be perfect for fall. If you can't adjust you can always add highlights :) Have a great weekend!

    Your hair is REALLY cute! I'm so glad you posted on that book. I've been wanting to read it too. It was recommended to me after I read Bossypants, by Tina Fey, also a really funny read!

    You nephew looks like a pro! I've contemplated unsubscribing from Old Navy's emails because they get me into trouble. Let me know how that pizza pie works out. It looks delicious!

    That pizza pie recipe looks fantastic! Anything pizza makes me drool though, honestly... :)

    And that picture of your nephew is adorable!

    I'm realling liking that dress. I feel like I haven't seen many maxi dresses that are in soft, pretty colors like the one you're wearing! Especially like it with that crotchet vest <3

    Love the outfit! The vest matches your hair (which looks great! The color compliments your skin tone really well) and the pink and brownish combo always looks good together.
    That book does look like it'd be a good read! I'm interested just by seeing the cover.

    1. I love how the vest matches your hair and highlights both of them! It's so pretty, and I love the dress too!
    2. I read that book, like 4 days ago, and I loved it! I saw it on someone else's blog and decided to read it. It was pretty good, but it didn't really have a huge impact, if you know what I mean?
    3. Precious. Enough said.
    4. I want to go to Kohls soooo bad. We have some $40 Kohl's Cash. Killing me.
    Sorry for numbering again. I just felt like I had to, not sure why :)
