Roxy’s Derby-licious Photo Shoot

Remember my 2-year anniversary pretty nifty photoshoot giveaway? Well, Roxy was one of the two winners and we were finally able to coordinate a session a couple of weeks ago. She is just the cutest little thing with tons of spunk and sass (two of my favorite qualities). She wanted a mixture of pin up and roller derby, as she is fresh meat on her Houston league back home. The ideas sounded great to us – my hubs had never shot anything in these styles so he was more than psyched to give it a go. I have to say that we had the best time with Ms. GrrFeisty – she even inspired me to give derby a go (I’m looking at you, Vice City Rollers)!

Weekend Instagram

Although my weekend wasn’t the best: I got struck by some wicked, vile string of death that included a fever of 102, body aches, sore throat and generally poopiness, there were some highlights. First being that my lovely friend, Lori, stopped by to drop off a zpak for me (forever thankful) – the rest are compiled below in Instagram form:

Friday evening, I got my new Riedell roller skates! They were an early birthday gift from my awesome hubby, after I expressed interest in joining a roller derby league. Once I fully recover, I hope to start practicing around the neighborhood (I’ve just been rolling around my house for now) and plan on joining open practice either this weekend or next! Exciting stuff! Eat my dust, thirty.

Lovable Friday!

1. Asos Clutch

I am absolutely in love with this color for summer. That gorgeous turquoise green just reminds me of the beach, namely my most favorite place on Earth: the Florida Keys. This portfolio-style clutch from Asos would just cheer up any outfit, hell it would cheer me up everytime I looked at it! Unfortunately, it comes with a hefty price tag, but comfort yourself in knowing that Asos does not charge any shipping rates! Hey, as a shopaholic you always have to find the silver linings!

Birthday Wishlist

So, as you all know, my birthday is slowly creeping up. My hubby is planning a surprise outing for me next Saturday to celebrate, and I am both nervous and excited. I love being surprised, but at the same time am a control freak, so I’ve been trying my best to play this balancing game since he told me the date. I don’t know where we are going or who will be there – the only thing I have been told is that it is an all day affair, and that I should dress casual and bring a bikini (& a large appetite). Needless to say, outfit has already been planned and my brain has been swimming with all the possibilities.

My brain has also been working in overdrive selecting must-have items for my birthday wishlist, and for those of you that are wondering what you can get me, my pinboards on Pinterest are your one stop gift idea shops. I spend more time than I’d like to admit compiling photos and ideas on that site, so it’s a pretty comprehensive guide to anything I may be lusting over at the moment.

::beeeeeep::

And this has been my birthday gift public service announcement. Carry on. 😉

Happy Hump Day: Charlie Hunnam

Apparently I am missing out on something serious by not watching FX’s Sons of Anarchy. I have several friends that are always raving about it on the Facebooks, but I figured it was some dude-like show that I wouldn’t get into (cue Spartacus – it’s just so ridiculous), being about an outlaw motorcycle club and all. That was, until one of those friends posted the photo above, and I saw exactly what I was missing: Charlie Hunnam. Are you joking me with this guy? Not only does he look like that, but he’s also British (that gives him quite a few more points in my book) – something like that comes packaged with an English accent? Definitely not fair. I see my Netflix working in overdrive in the very near future to catch up with all seasons. Anyone care to join?
