Five Faves for Friday!



Monday 
Margarita Monday 
Monday was a pitiful day at work. And since it was my early day, I actually had time (and felt like!)  making dinner.  I made my signature dish (HA) Salsa Chicken!  And since it was such a terrible day, I thought, to turn it around, I needed a drink!  What goes better with Salsa Chicken than MARGARITAS?!?!  The night ended on a high note... 



Tuesday 
Tech Tuesday   
On Tuesday night my neighbor, Rosemary called me up and asked me to come over and look at her printer because she was having trouble with it.  From our past conversations, she knew I was  pretty good with computers so she thought I could figure out what the problem was.  After about 10 minutes I had her printer up and running again.    She was ecstatic!!  Rosemary, who's 70 something, told me she knows nothing about computers and offered to pay me to teach her.  I told her we could have Tech Tuesdays in the summer and all she needed to pay me with was a glass of wine!  :) 


Wednesday 
Celebrating Mom! 
Wednesday night we celebrated my mom's retirement.  It was so much fun!  Her friends and colleagues  did a beautiful job and said lovely things about her.  So did my dad, who actually stole the show with his comedy routine! #whoknew I know my mom will miss her friends and work tremendously, but it's time! her and my dad are on to a new chapter in their lives!! 

Mom absolutely loved her party...can't you tell??


Thursday 
Paint Night 
On Thursday night a few friends and I went to a Paint Night Fundraiser in support of the March of Dimes.  The hosts of the Fundraiser Patty and Andy, had a son Aidan who was born at 25 weeks.  The March of Dimes is near and dear to their hearts.   As it is to me as well, being a premie too! Aidan is now 3 years old and is doing great!  I was really VERY nervous about this because I am NOT a painter.  But looking at it from far away, I don't think it came out too, too bad!

Friday 
Friday Night In 
Tonight I really have no plans.  I am spending the night doing the housework I've neglected for the last three weeks.  Every time I've left the house lately, I've thought to myself, “Well if somebody tried to rob the place, they'd come in and think I'd already been hit!”  So clearly I have some work to do!  Then it's an evening on my couch with wine, thin mints, and The Reagan Family! 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Style Me Bloggers: Spring has Sprung!!

Spring is here!!!  Finally!!!  After this prolonged winter, I wasn't sure it'd ever get here!  This week, it's been sunny, much warmer and just plain fabulous!!  I am just a happier person in warmer weather. And I even started on my TAN!!  WOO HOO!!  Everybody looks better with a tan!!

And I'm just so glad Spring is here...because it arrived just in time for the Get Your Pretty On Spring Style Challenge to start.  If you missed the Style Me Bloggers Link up on Wednesday showcasing the first few outfits, check it out here!

My favorite fashionista friends and I are linking up once again today to discuss SPRING FASHION.  And it's free range, so please make sure you go check out each post!!  There's an endless amount of Spring Style inspiration today!!  And we're sweetening the deal with a giveaway!  Treat yourself to some new spring fashions!! YAY...be sure to enter below!!


I thought a lot about this post this post this week!  What three Spring things would I share?  I have already shared the trends I'll be wearing and some Spring Challenge faves from the last go-round that are still my go-tos!  So to put my own spin on it, I thought I'd share three favorites I 'm loving in this Spring that can be worn any which way!


Brights
I am really digging brights this spring!!  Hot pink (I really wear this all year long!), coral anything, cobalt/bright blue! From shirts, jewelry, cardis, shoes...I love it all!!  And I'm loving all the bright yellow I'm seeing fellow challengers rock!!
Here are some of my bright looks for some inspiration!!

 Scarves
Scarves have been my go-to now for about a year and a half.  A scarf can totally change and/or complete an outfit!!  I have a ridiculous amount of scarves and wear them across all seasons!  But I love pulling out my light weight, spring florals, and bright colored scarves for spring.  These are just some of my many faves.


This one's new, it's available here
Distressed Denim
A third look I'll be wearing this spring (much to my mother's dismay!) is distressed denim.  I really like the look of distressed denim.  It makes jeans fun!  And it's a good look with flats and sandals for spring.  I have a few different pairs in different washes that I just love.
This vigoss pair is one of my faves! {Similar}
How is it that I lived in my distressed demin all last spring and summer and this is my only photo?!?
