Thoughts For Friday

I am super obsessed with the new Maroon Five song, Payphone that they preformed on The Voice two weeks ago.  Have to play it every time I get in my car.  And we can talk about how hot Adam Levine is. I think I am attracted to him because he looks like my hubs.  I love tall dark haired men! 
First Ann Taylor surprised me and now Banana Republic. How cute is this Ikat blouse? I swear it looks just like some expensive ones I have seen online. It is a steal for a great blouse.   I think it is going to look pretty cute with my white jeans.

I am so excited because I am finally getting a Silhouette of Sterling done. I have wanted one forever. WayWay is working on it and I know it be fabulous because all her stuff is! I debated FOREVER about what color to do the Silhouette. You would think it was a life or death decision the way I debated.  I went back and forth between going bright or just doing classic black.  In the end I went for Turquoise, I love the pop of color.  Plus most of our walls are pretty neutral so I think it will show up better.  This is not my silhouette but it is the picture I sent WayWay for reference. I love how the name and age is at the bottom.
Lately I have been hooked on roasted cherry tomatoes. I had no idea how much more flavor the tomatoes would get from just roasting them!  It is my new favorite side dish.  I have been making it at least once a week and surprisingly Matt loves it too! All you do is toss with olive, salt and pepper,  then roast at 350 degrees for about 20-30 mins. After they are done cooking I add in some fresh julienned basil.
Yesterday I finally hit up Glazed, a new doughnut shop downtown. Ladies it was amazing. Worth every single calorie. I will be returning frequently! They had so many fun doughnut flavors, sadly they were sold out of the Maple Bacon flavor that I really wanted to try, but our glazed were mouth wateringly good!
I am in love with this outfit Charlize Theron is wearing. Makes me think I need a blush colored blazer. Love it paired with the black.
Was that enough Random Babble for your Friday? I hope you all have a great weekend!

If you check jones design company blog, she has a silhouette DIY on the computer that I of course could not handle but my husband came thru and I loooove it! I made a big one and a little one and chose my frames, background paper from a craft store (really beautiful thick, colored) and my silhouette fill in color. Also office supply stores print for yOu if you bring in the file and their quality is awesome!

I am totally obsessed with blazers right now. So excited they are making a comeback! Love the silhouette you are doing for Sterling! Thanks for the idea! I would love to get one done of Owen! Ok, that enough rambling! Have a fantastic weekend Natalie!

OMG..how funny! I just bought that shirt at BR :) I thought it was super cute and when I read your post yesterday about the jeans I was thinking it would be really cute with white. We are obsessed with cherry tomatoes around here. I have started adding them to everything. I love the golden yellow ones too. Yum! Have a great weekend Natalie!
