FRIDAY FAVORITES....GRATEFUL EDITION

Hi friends...Hallelujah for Friday!!! Been another rough week with this crud I have had for two weeks but Dr. prescribed some meds so hoping things look up because next week I have a meeting with a turkey (my mom is going to teach me how to make a turkey for the first time EVAH) and food prepping galore. And I'm putting my tree up, first time we haven't had a real one in years but this is a "most realistic" Fraser Fir (the kind we always used to get) from Balsam Hill so I'm pretty excited. Check them out HERE.
I try to live a grateful life and count my blessings each day. Here are a few of my favorite "gratefuls" for the week.

1. These Guys Having Fun Last Weekend!!
So very grateful for these loves. They both had really fun times at college last weekend. Mr. Nine went Dad's Day for one son's fraternity and another son went to a Saddie Hawkins dance in a Barn. I think their smiles say it all. So grateful they are starting to really enjoy college and even more grateful they will be home a week from Tuesday for Thanksgiving break!!

2. SWEETS
Ok, I admit it I'm grateful for sweet treats. I plan on making this for the birthday of a sweet girl in our life. Wouldn't it be the perfect ball for Turkey Day...the colors are 
so Thanksgiving Festive!

3. Mom's Chicken Soup

Of course you know how grateful I am for my mama. Not having any brothers or sisters or a large family, I so grateful for all the things she does for us...like homemade chicken soup when we're sick.

4. Week's Attire

Grateful I have a  job where I can dress up but yet doesn't have to be in full business attire.

Target Cardigan and Dress, Macy's Booties

Tara Lynn Boutique Polka Dot shirt, Port Authority Cardigan

Nordstrom Top by Chelsea 28, Charming Charlie wood necklace

5. Leopard Pants
 This is going to sound strange but I am grateful for Leopard!!! Grrr. Add a pop of leopard to any outfit and BAM! I am not big on printed pants but leopard printed pants...YES please!

DEFINITELY GRATEFUL FOR THE WEEKEND!!!

I HOPE YOURS IS WONDERFUL!

LEOPARD PANTS

HAPPY OCTOBER!!

First, remember a couple weeks ago I did a post on the Leopard Portifino Shirt from Express? HERE

Well, I am a Leopard loving gal so you an imagine my excitement when I found these puppies in Kohl's last week. The leopard pants are Jennifer Lopez and they fit like a glove. I wore this outfit for a Birthday dinner and it was so comfy. 

You will notice 2 different shoes in the pictures, that's because as a typical woman, I couldn't decide which ones I liked best. The Nine West caged heels or the I.N.C. perforated booties? (both from Macy's) Ultimately, I went with the booties because they are more comfortable. Also, you cannot really see it but I did the "front tuck" which I love and this tunic was high, low so just the right
amount of top hung out the back.
