Saturday I finally took the plunge and got my new short, hip haircut! I could not be happier – I feel so light and fresh and modern. I went to the Aveda Institute in Ft. Lauderdale and got my hair cut by my amazing friend, Alana. She’s been busting her butt to learn and perfect the art of hair and I am so pleased with what she did. I was a little nervous about the chunky highlights, but she was so confident that they would look great that those worries quickly dissipated. I feel like a new me and can’t wait to start the summer as a blonde! I’ll let you know if what they say is true and I do have more fun, although with the summer I have lined up already, I doubt I would have anything but!

Sunday night we had our first official party at the house for the season 3 premiere of True Blood! I don’t need to reiterate what a big fan I am of this show, so just suffice it to say that I was excited (& a little nervous about having people over for the first time in our new house). It was such a success! We made it a potluck since we are fridge-less until the 22nd and wow, did people make some yummy treats! Plus, we got some fun party favors and props that really made the night a lot of fun.
My personal favorite was my jug of Fang Banger – an alcoholic concoction of True Blood beverage, Sprite and Vodka. Thankfully, I woke up this morning hangover free, but I did have my fair share of these throughout the night (& I was not the only one).
I also thought the season opener was great and really held our attention (was it all the nice butt shots?) – I am both bummed and pleased that they seem to not be following the books at all, but we have yet to see what they have in store for us the rest of the season. I totally need to get used to those typical True Blood weekly cliffhangers again – how killer was last night’s??

Have a great week everyone!

Saturday afternoon, we rounded all the pups together to celebrate Brad-Pitt and Gwen’s birthdays at our local dog park. The pups had an amazing time running around, rolling in mud and meeting new furry friends! I also was informed about a Miami Boston Terrier monthly meet-up, which sounds so fun! Thanks to all the guests and their humans for making it out – the pups loved having their buddies around as well as all the awesome gifts they received.

We say this all the time, but I really want to make it more of a habit to take the pups out to the dog park. They really appreciated the open space to run and play and were so well behaved the rest of the weekend! That Cesar Milan sure does know his stuff ;)

Friday night we headed to Ian and Beau’s new apartment for their official housewarming. We had entirely too much fun with their dirty word magnets and were inundated with entirely too much beer. I tried my best to be on my best behavior though as the next morning was the autism walk in Broward.

Hope you guys didn’t miss me too much!
I missed blogging terribly though – but it was in my best interest to take a break. This last semester is definitely trying to kill me, but I’m happy to report that I only have to survive 2 more weeks and I’ll be done with classes. Forever. Unless I change my mind about pursuing another field. Again. And that’s not going to happen. I hope. ;)

Anyways, on to my weekend!

We spent all of Saturday working on the house (as per usual), but then rewarded ourselves with the first of a long string of housewarming parties. Seems like all our friends are either moving out on their own or becoming homeowners and with it brings lots and lots of festivities. Elsie’s move to her new townhouse was no different! We had lots and lots of alcohol, I had lots and lots of deviled eggs (oh, my stomach was not happy) and most importantly, lots and lots of fun. I am reminded on a weekly basis how lucky I am to be surrounded by so many amazing people. I love all my friends. Not only are they there for all the fun times, but they are the first ones by my side during the not so fun times. I am truly blessed.

I hope Monday treats you all well and doesn’t give you too much of a headache.
Only a few more days until we can say hello to the weekend once more!

xoxo

Lovable Friday!

1. Kate Spade Flats

1. Kate Spade Flats

Once Kate Spade was the queen of prep, but I absolutely love the way the brand has evolved over the years. It can still be labeled as preppy, but in such a fun and whimsical way. Their pieces are so girly and fun – I don’t think there is one Kate Spade item I don’t like and these flats are no exception. The gorgeous shade of purple, the adorable little present bow, I just can’t handle it! Get your own for $95 at Zappo’s.
