carnival. cotton candy. ferris wheel.

So you know when you the holidays come around, everything everywhere seems to go on sale.  Well, it does and its hard not to be a sucker for all the sales.  How do you keep yourself away?!  I am not sure, but not that I needed a new dress since I own too many to tell all of you.  This cute dress I had my eye on went on sale and who can say no to that?  The dress with its ice cream truck, carnival like reference, ironically the dress makes me  feel like I should be walking around eating delicious cotton candy, throwing pies, riding the ferris wheel, and hitting the hammer as hard as humanly possible to win a prize.  Wow, that all sounds an awful lot like the last part of Grease.

I think the rest of the day will be spent running singing “We Go Together.”

Back in Time

Let me take you all on a little trip “back in time” (yes that is a Pitbull song that I absolutely love, but we’ll get to that later).  Alright, story time . . . There once was a girl who started a blog and did really well at blogging for a long time.  She talked about her sisters, the desserts she was making, the clothes she was wearing, all about Elvis, The Hunger Games, and Harry Potter.  Nevertheless, one day she stopped.  No one knows why she stopped.  Was it because she was too busy?  Maybe.  Was it because her stylish clothes went downhill? Probably not. Was it because she kept forgetting?  Most likely.  Did her sisters and even her brother-in-law tell her she needed to get on updating it?  Yes.  Did she take their advice?  Well, of course she did, but it took a few weeks or maybe months to get there.  But yes, she is back!

Now we can talk about how much I love Pitbull and his sexiness or maybe well just get to some pictures of my outfit.  What do you say?!  The outfit takes us a bit “back in time” to the 40s with the awesomeness of my cool new headband and boca raton sunglasses.

Dear Little Elf

I have been losing my mind today, as I cannot find anything that I need.  There is apparently a little elf running around my house hiding all of my things.  My favorite running shorts that are awesomely neon orange and blue have disappeared.  I have started running again so I need them to help me run faster.  Also, I can’t find my camera tripod, so I am having to resort to a chair with books on top of it.  What’s next to disappear?!  One sandal, dresses, who knows! However,

Dear Little Elf,

If you are listening, please return my shorts and my tripod.  I really need them!  And please don’t take anything else!  I’ll make you brownies for returning them!

Love, Jill
