Hello Luvaaaaa!! Guess what happened this week?? Absolutely nothing. After turning in all of my third cookbook recipes in on Monday, I’ve been vegging out. Even though I’m pretty good at managing my stress nowadays, I still think it got the best of me and I was super pooped afterwards. So I took the week off. I cooked a little, went to brunch, went to lunch, ate some gluten free pizza, some froyo, had a ladies night while watching The Bachelor, did some shopping at Hailee Grace Boutique, sat outside A LOT since it’s been in the 60s-70s, pinned the sh*t out of wedding things, talked to a travel agent about our destination wedding, looked up more resorts, checked out swimsuits online then decided I should wait since we won’t be getting married for about a year and a half, and yeah, and I pinned the sh*t out of wedding things. Ok, I guess I got some stuff done, but nothing business. I haven’t looked at my email, opened my mail, or created new recipes for you guys for next week. But I’ll get there. Starting today. Productive Fridays! That’s a possible thing…right? Sure. Sure it is.

Since it’s been about a bazillion degrees outside, I decided to dust off the old summer crop top and wear it proudly. I used to feel uncomfortable wearing crop tops with jeans…then I stopped caring. I was even sweating in this outfit. It’s crazy how hot it’s been outside. I’m thinking that our actual winter is going to be a real crap storm come March and April. Which I’m not a fan of. Guess I’ll just go to Portland, Austin and Pittsburgh in those months. Yay travel!

PS – the earrings that I have on below are my new favorite earrings. No one seems to like them. The only comment I keep receiving is “the backs of those earrings are really big…” Good job, sir, that they are.

Eeeeeeeek!! I got to wear a dress without tights in JANUARY. This is amazing. Dresses with boots is my jam. It felt like fall all over again. I seriously love this outfit so damn much. Maybe an engagement picture outfit?? I think Jackson is up for the engagement photo task. He’s a pretty good poser. And duh, he will be in pretty much all of them!

    I love those earrings! I’ve been looking for a similar pair.
    Also, I am too jealous of the weather, it’s single digits here. 🙁

    I feel like I ask this question a lot…but that’s because I have a serious issue with lipstick and gloss. Meaning I buy WAY too much of it. Haha. Anyway, what is the lipstick you have on in the dress pic?? Love it! We have similar coloring (dark hair, blue eyes) and I would love to buy it. Thanks Juli and Congrats on the engagement!!

    That outfit with the crop top is AMAZING! Not many people seem to know how to wear them, but you look awesome in it. And isn’t it funny how people feel the need to comment on what we wear and our hair too…It’s like DUH I know what it looks like and what I look like…I chose it! 😉

    Stunning! Please do tell me how to recreate your topknot? Whenever I try I look like Cindy Lou Who. Not quite the chic look I was going for. Thanks!

    That first outfit is amazing! I would totally wear that if it was about 60 degrees warmer and wasn’t going to snow another 2 feet this weekend (on top of the 6 ft we already have in Boston). Where are your sunglasses from? Love them!
