I should be embarrassed . . .

sweater: loft   pants: jcpenny  shoes: target  scarf: gap 

. . . that I am wearing just about every shade of blue possible. 
. . . that I didn't know who was playing in the Super Bowl until I asked someone the day before.  

. . . that I ate a bowl of yogurt and granola four times in one day. 
. . . that I am much happier about the week starting because the Bachelor is on two nights in a row. 

. . . that the pants that I told you about yesterday didn't even button when I bought them. 

Loving Lately

Loving polka dots, colored jeans and boots. 

 

jacket: c/o wendybox   pants: jcpenny  boots: dsw  top: old navy 

Loving that next week the Bachelor and the Biggest Loser start.

Loving the little breaks I've taken from blogging this month.  It's been nice to spend less time on my computer and lots of time with my family.  BUT I am excited to get back to a regular schedule with posts, emails and reading other blogs.

Loving delicious looking meals, like this four cheese mac & cheese.  The recipe calls for white truffle oil, which I've never used before but I would like Chris to make it so I can eat it!

Loving my influenster box.  

Quaker Oatmeal : I ate this for breakfast last week and it was really good.  I loved the dried cranberries in it.  And I felt healthy eating it!

Quikstyle brush:  This brush has microfiber bristles to help remove water and it definitely worked!

NYC Color Lipshine:  I am not a lipstick girl, so this was a perfect find.  Colored lipgloss.  

Kiss Nail Dress: I haven't used this yet, but I am excited to. It says you can just peel on the nails and they should last a week.

Face Mask: I don't know that last time I used a face mask but will definitely use this at some point/

Loving that I while I am behind with the more New Years-ish post, I will have one next week.

Happy Wednesday friends!

Colored Denim Obsession

jeans: target  boots: dsw (similar)  tee: old navy   necklace: groopdealz

It appears as though I have a new obsession for colored denim jeans. 

I want to wear them all the time. 

A few observations about my ability to style colored jeans: 

1. These outfits together are bordering on bright color overload.  

 2. I like to buy things in primary colors.

3. I wear my grey Target wedges all the time. 

(At least I'm getting my $9 worth.) 

4. It appears that I only wear stripes and polka dots with my colored jeans. 

5. It makes me want to wear some more "subtle" tops with them. 

                                      Like this white sweater          or             this grey one: 

buffalo jeans

Now what colored denim do I need next?

Boys & Superheros

jeans: JCP (similar)  blazer: tjmaxx (similar) wedges: target (similar)

Last weekend Chris and I watched The Avengers.  

He had already seen it but was excited to watch it again. 

I have to say that it was pretty funny and I did enjoy it, 

but what I enjoyed way more was watching and hearing Chris enjoy it. 

Something about the flying, fighting and transforming into superheros made it appear that this was quite possibly one of the best movies he's seen.  

Here's just a few of his comments during the movie:

(and add is many spurts of serious laughter in between these)

They just killed that and it was nothing.

He's like a hundred times his size.

Look - He's just flying around killing all of them.

I love the hulk Katie!

I love all these guys so much. 

Look how angry he is. 

Watch! Watch! Look at that. 

And hulk smash.

Did you see that? You're missing this.

This part is really funny. Watch this. It's my favorite part.

Aren't you so happy Kate? 

Must be something about boys and superheros . . . .

p.s.  This is my first collage using three pictures.  Is three of me too many?

I think maybe.

High Five for Friday

pants: jcpenney  shirt: target  jacket: loft  shoes: old navy 

1. I got this jacket a few years ago on clearance and remember debating if I should buy it .  

I just found it again in the back of my closet and am glad I did!  

2. My tree necklace.  Found here. 

3. The other day I was helping a student answer a question about how to prove if a statement about the Summer Olympics was true.  She said she would just ask me.  When I told her I was no expert on the Olympics, she said, "Well you did run in them?"  So glad that running a marathon is the same as the Olympics in the mind of a third grader.  

(and don't be fooled - Chris did not run the marathon.  Or did his khaki shorts and video camera in hand give that away?) 

4. I bought a groupon the other day for a mystic spray tan.  I'm going to test it out to see if I'll do it for my brother's wedding.  I'm slightly terrified because all I can think of is this: 

watch the scene here. 

5. And then that reminds me how much I miss Friends.  I am in serious need of another show to watch.  Preferably one that is funny, slightly dramatic and overall happy.  And on netflix.  Any suggestions? 

Have a great weekend!  Remember I'll be putting on my party shoes on Saturday!

One more day to enter my giveaway on Melanie's blog!
