Highlights of the Week


1. Wearing my new Anthropologie top!

2. Mucho networking and advancement for Photography Getaways this week:

a.)  Face time with a major local & chain camera shop this week and leaving some business cards with the manager.
b. ) A power session learning soooo much more on my camera that will benefit me majorly!
c. ) My first PRish event taking photos for a American Foundation for Suicide Prevention event at the Top Rated Sundy House in Delray Beach, plus free advertising in the brochure.
d.) Meeting THIS fashion photographer... who would love to go to Ireland for Photography Getaways to film the workshop!
e.) Realizing some trial and error things on the Photography Getaways website that will help immensly for the future.
f.) Getting a start on the Photography Getaways SHOP on the main website...
g.) Getting to test some TOP of the line photography equipment for free for a few days!

3. Meeting a radio personality last night that I listen to every morning! Well at least up until a few weeks ago while I was getting ready for work the past few years.

4. Great hair returns!

I picked up my favorite shampoo while in Beaufort... which I will reveal and do a product review next week. This stuff works WONDERS for my naturally dry hair!
Plus I trimmed The Bangs. I got told twice last night, including by the radio personality, that "you look familiar... it must be The Bangs." Ha.

5. Gossip Girl marathon until 1:00am
Since The Bachelor has been on, I've been forced to choose between the two. I caught up on 4 GG episodes Weds night. Blair & Dan kiss??!!! I Love the Writers of Gossip Girl.

6. Missing the puppies!

Trying to dodge muddy puppy paws from getting on my new top.

7. Chatting with the African Grey parrot.

8. Coming dangerously close to being in a tornado yesterday (in Florida) I even saw flying metal debris!

Note: After prepping this post last night, I woke up to the disasters in Japan.

My heart goes out to all the people who have lost their lives and are affected by this...

Happy Friday!

What. A. Week.


Like most of you I'm sure... I am so ready for the weekend. This week has been bittersweet. Way too many emotions crammed into one little week. From Valentine's to a staff luncheon for my leaving, to crappy blog views (maybe it's NYFW, or maybe it's because my parents were away from their computers-ha!), and all kinds of little other awkward things tied in there. But I am so happy for my lovely new followers and continued followers. Also, thanks to the new Bloglovin', Facebook, and Twitter followers!

I've been reading some of the Belle Inspiration articles for next month's issues, and they have definately put my in the mood for Spring!!

Photo at Anthropologie.

One of their good deals... rustic garden pots $8-$16.

I will have an article featuring a pictorial tour

of the Keukenhof Gardens of Holland in the issue.

It's a tulip and bulb lover's dream!

Also,

Congratulations to Dee!

She has won the $10 Starbucks gift card.

Happy Friday my Friends!

Any exciting weekend plans?

Anthro-Therapy

My Neighbor

I've mentioned before that I work across the street from Anthropologie and sneak over there ever so often for a little break-time therapy. What better neighbor than one offering up this cozy chair I've been pining after for months...

Or artistic little vases like these for only $8...

They are so sweet to offer a perfume in my honor as well...

Did I ever mention my 'someday cottage' or 'loft' has rustic sanded floors like the ones at Anthropologie?

Even though I had a giftcard burning a whole in my pocket, sometimes I can never decide between a new adorable dress to go with the New Year's Resolution, or another darling apron...

or idyllic odds and ends like clocks, stationary, Volupsa candles, or books such as, "Things I Want My Daughter to Know" or "Happiness for Two".


Here is also a funny little clip I did for the blog when I bought my holiday ornaments and pie goodies last month, but I never posted it because my shirt was popping open! (ha... funny to laugh about it now).

Happy Tuesday!
