Your Dose of Random Thoughts This Friday

I wore my Greylin Blouse this week and love it. Thanks to all who encouraged me that blondes look good in Hot Pink. I think this may be the perfect blouse. I am seriously considering ordering the Cobalt Blue version. You can order yours HERE. **It may look like a deer in the first picture behind me, but that is just our extra large boxer. Our girl likes to eat.**




I was so excited this week because the OC Housewives started back. Just as I was sad the Beverly Hills girls ended this new season starts. A few thoughts: so glad Vikki and Don got divorced their marriage seemed so awkward. But what is even more awkward is that they are still living together. Gretchen and Slade annoy the crap out of me. Are people really buying Alexis's clothing line? She acts like it is doing great but those clothes are ugly. I think I might like the new girl, always nice to have a fresh brunette amongst all the blondes.



I started my garden for the year. I went to Hyams, the best garden store in Charleston, and was ecstatic to find that they had swiss chard and kale. I potted them and they are doing great. I can't wait to use them in my juices and cook with them. Anyone know where I can find arugula? I want to grow it too but can't find it anywhere.



I also couldn't resist these gorgeous pink flowers. Hot pink flowers make me very happy!

I took my little man to the Outlets yesterday for a morning outing. He loved riding the race cars,



I loved the Jonathan Adler Goodies I found at 60 percent off.



I have a new lunch I am obsessed with. Cut-out Toasts with Hummus, Avocado, and Roasted Tomato. Make this asap it is the perfect combination! I found the recipe HERE. Trust me you will be addicted to these tasty treat!



This is my last weekend to hang out with my one year old. Sterling turns two on Thursday. A little bittersweet for me. I am excited to celebrate his birthday but I can't believe how fast my sweet baby is growing up.



And here is your quote for Friday. So True. Have a wonderful weekend friends.

Sterling could be a little baby model, seriously. Love that you're already starting your veggie garden, I bought a cilantro plant last week but it's already looking like poo because it hasn't been sunny & warm enough!

You're so cute--- look better than the model! Have a great weekend. XO

Gretchen looks like a overly made up Barbie doll. Seriously could she look any more trashy if she tried? Dolly Parton looks classy next to her! lol

natasha {schue love} said...

I love that hot pink blouse! And I am excited about the Real Housewives of OC too! I think the new gal will "hopefully" add some class back into the group...no? Fingers crossed!

Taylor said...

okay I love that top - looks incredible! and I think I enjoy the new housewife on OC too... It is astonishing to me how loaded she is! Whoever buys Alexis Couture.... no words. Well, maybe two words: no taste.

Chassity (Look Linger Love) said...

Hot pink is always hot on blondes :) And it's crazy that Sterling will be 2! Can't wait to celebrate.
