Friday Ramblings

I really wanted to participate in Friday's fancies this week because it was all about INSPIRATION!  I wouldn't be able to continue this blog or dress myself every morning without the overwhelming amount of stylish ladies that inspire me and fill my fashion heart with happiness on a daily basis.  HOWEVER, I had a day of craziness yesterday and was at work until 8 PM and back at it for a 7 AM conference call this morning, so instead today I will focus on a re-cap of my week:

-  I finally got a Spike the Punch Necklace, my choice was smoke grey and silver - how fun is this packaging and how exciting for her that everyone is gushing over these necklaces?

- I got LASIK last Friday and couldn't wear eye makeup at work this entire week.  I felt naked!  Have you ever had to go without makeup? How did you feel?

- I also had to sleep in doctor-ordered SUNGLASSES all week due to the LASIK!  It was seriously hilarious for Joe and I .. we called them my "Sleep Shades"... so you neeed a Friday laugh?  Here is a picture Joe snuck of me while I was sleeping my first night (mouth open in all my attractive glory! you're welcome)

- My coworker knew I was having a crappy day yesterday so she brought me a huge 20 oz hazelnut cup of joe from Dunkin' Donuts today (and I had already picked up a cup on my way into the office! double fisting!) - small things like that can really impact a person's day.  THANK YOU.

 

- Speaking of Cups of Jo, I never win anything, but I still enter Joanna Goddard's giveaways all the time.  Her Wednesday giveaway this week was for a beautiful $340 coat from Hatch, a maternity line.  I entered in the off chance that if I won, I could gift the coat to my sister who is expecting her second child in June (it's a girl!) and guess what!  I WON!!!!  I was so thrilled to receive the news (not to mention an email from Joanna Goddard herself) yesterday afternoon in the midst of my crazy work day.  Thank you Hatch AND Joanna for being so generous!

- I have been LOVING Victoria's Mini Alt week series on vmac + cheese this week - if you're a blogger, you should check it out.

- I met my girlfriends at a newer restaurant Abigail Street last night after I left work in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood.  They had already ordered and the cheese plate was one of their picks - how cute are these cheese flags?

- I have my work year-end celebration tomorrow evening at Jeff Ruby downtown.  Free {delicious} steak + wine?  Don't mind if I do!

I hope you all have had a lovely week - what are your plans for the weekend?
