Justice, Faith, & Power

Happy Mardi Gras!! Being from New Orleans, I always bring the party on Mardi Gras day, my coworkers enjoyed delicious King Cake and beads for everyone! They also enjoyed my themed, color blocked outfit. Purple, green, and gold just seem to go better together this time of year.



Mardi Gras colors were not only chosen because they look great together, but they also stand for something! Purple is justice, green is faith, and gold is power. Basically today, I was rocking a Kanye West song. Awesome.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! I love to dress up for Holidays and today was no different. I was feeling much better so I decided pink and red were the perfect compliment for the day. Also, I have this great holiday headband collection, so getting to wear my Valentine headband was just a plus!

Outfit photos were a bit rough this morning (whoa allergy eyes) so instead here are a few snap shots from my Valentine's Day!


Cute little Valentine's for my awesome coworkers, these ladies make my day so much brighter.


Pete made me a mix tape and put all of the song titles into this sweet note, I found it in my car this morning, AWESOME start to my day.


At lunch Peter surprised me at work with flowers, chocolate, and a lunch date.


My gorgeous flowers, gerber daisies are my most favorite ever and a single red rose.


Hearts on Peter's Valentine's Day card. I am so blessed to have him as my husband, don't know how I got so lucky, but I am thankful!

Potluck!

Today to celebrate Thanksgiving my work hosted its annual Turkey Day Potluck, in my department we have over 100 people (they work all over campus) so it was a HUGE spread of deliciousness and I felt it necessary to dress the part to the best of my abilities!


Peter got me this dress for our first Christmas together and I love it. I only wear it in the winter months and since its sleeveless I can change it up with different sweaters and cardigans. Not only are the colors great, the pattern has little snails in it too, which just makes me smile.


Petunia got spayed on Tuesday and has since been sporting quite the Elizabethan style collar. She isn't too big of a fan of it, obviously, but I think she's pretty darn cute as a 16th century Queen.
