Sweater Weather

Well maybe not quite? I know parts of the country are experiencing actual Fall temps (which I am so jealous) but not here in Central Texas. Y'all it has been in the 80's. We got a taste of cooler morning temps maybe like a week & a half ago and then at night it would be cooler but it's long gone now. COME BACK!!

I don't know what it is but I feel like sweaters are making a huge comeback. You might be laughing but for me sweaters always reminded me of old scratchy wool that wasn't necessarily stylish or edgy. The tables are for sure turning. I have been stalking them a lot lately. And the only reason I haven't bought 10 of them is because of the above stated temperatures. So, I thought I'd give my readers a look at some cute ones.

Sweaters $50 & under

Sweaters $100 & up

As you can see, the "cold shoulder" trend isn't going anywhere. It's a bit comical to think about exposing your shoulders in a sweater when a sweater is meant to cover up and keep you warm. Or maybe it's for us girls who live in Central Texas and are still sweating at practically the end of October? I digress. I am loving the trend and think it adds some edge & sexiness to what could otherwise be a drab sweater. Do you like the cold shoulder? What about the mixed media sweaters?

I hope y'all find some things you like. Remember, I am giving away a Starbucks gift card here. Be sure to check it out. Thank y'all for reading!

Weekend Round Up & Roll Call + Starbucks

Happy Monday morning! How was everyone's weekend? I thought I'd share a bit of our weekend and then do a roll call.

We had a 5K this weekend at a local brewery & it was really fun. Both Brian and I placed in our age groups. It was definitely a surprise for me. I wasn't expecting it at all but was proud of myself. My finish time was 29:53. I am not fast by any means but I was happy with it. The hills and crazy humidity was not fun. #HillCountry

I also wanted to do a roll call & see where my readers are from & what they'd like to see as far as posts go on this blog.

I just picked up these Sam & Libby booties from Target. I swear they have the best bootie selection for reasonable prices.

Brian & I are running a 5K tomorrow. It will be our first race since our half at the end of August.They are having it at a brewery in a small town near us. The promise of beer and a cool tech shirt...we are in. The logo is pretty neat. Are any of my readers runners? I'd love to hear what you are running these days.

My husband sent me a delivery of warm cookies today. Y'all, I don't know about you, but to me, this beats flowers ANY DAY. I got a dozen cookies mixed of chocolate chip & chocolate chip with walnuts. It was awesome; maybe not so much for my waistline (YOLO). I think the best part was that they were still warm...you just can't beat it. The company is called Tiff's Treats. I got a text message that someone had purchased them for me and to please call to set up a delivery time. So genius. Here is the link. They are mainly in Texas and then some in Georgia. Hopefully they will expand.

One of my girlfriends from college got engaged last weekend. Her and her (now) fiance had evacuated from Hurricane Matthew and he popped the question in the mountains. Quite an engagement story. They are perfect for each other and I know I speak for all of my girlfriends that we are SO excited for them. Anddddd, another bachelorette and partying. I can't wait to celebrate these two! How gorgeous is her ring? Rose gold...swooning!

I have been jamming to some NEEDTOBREATHE lately. We go to see them in concert next Sunday. We saw them last year & they are so good. They are originally from South Carolina so seeing them in Austin makes it extra special. Their new cd came out this year and I love the song, Clear.

Hope you enjoyed this week's edition of Five on Friday. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Current Wish List

It's no secret that girls have a never ending wish list...mainly all of these are on my Christmas list. Yes. I went there. Whether you want to think about it or not, it will be here before you know it. I am not rushing it by any means but seriously...it will be. I mean Hobby Lobby already has all the Christmas decor out. I just can't. So here are a few things that I am currently wanting.

And two things that can't be linked would be a gift certificate for a facial & photography classes. We have a Canon EOS Rebel T3i (similar cameras) which I don't even think they make anymore?? We got it right before our wedding as a gift from B's parents. That tells you how quick they update things...approx 3 years. I am dying to get into all the nerdy stuff that is photography. Currently, I just play around with settings but I think if I had an intro course it might allow me to have a better grasp on everything.

Happy Tuesday y'all!
