Fashion Friday Challenge 3!

Happy Friday (night).

We had an impromptu book club meeting and I'm exhausted. I had a day. Thank god for my Book Club friends. So after Peach Sparking Wine from Trader Jo's, and 4 hours of sleep, I'm so ready to goto bed. But first, here's my FFC3 outfit!

I love love love this outfit. I'll probably change the skirt to a stripe (tee hee) and do minor adjustments. No link or price because I can't seem to find the information-even with Google image search. it could be the sparkling wine though. Or the lack of sleep.

Regardless, i love this outfit. Maxi skirts are so in right now and SO comfortable to wear. I can walk around all day in one at work and not feel like I have to fuss with it or anything. A plus for sure when I'm lugging around piles of clothes. It's such a summery outfit and with Memorial Day coming up, it's my kick off to summer!

So One note: Please remember that Memorial Day is in remembrance of those who have served in our military and died for our freedom. Freedom isn't free-so thank a Vet or Active Military Personnel this weekend while you enjoy the day off.

(Odd note: my husband never got it off during is time in the military it was a WORK day).

have a great weekend!!
Much Love,
Alexis

Using Google to Find What You Want!

Good Evening! Today was a good Sunday for myself! I went rollerblading with the husband because A: we are trying to get fit and B: It was just a GORGEOUS day out:
                                             
Afterwards, we started laundry, watched some tv and then took off to Ikea to walk around and to get dinner. I have so many new ideas from Ikea that I want to try. Dinner at Panera was delish, and now I feel like I ought to be back and exercising again because I had their sinfully delish Mac and Cheese.
Also, thanks to the hubs, I found a mug I've been pining after for forever. FOR-EVAH!
I found this image on Pinterest (addicted? Me? Yes!):
    
But I simply COULD NOT find where that mug was from. For MONTHS. Drove me crazy. So the Hubs showed me how to use Google to find out where the original source of the photo is. Basically, you go to images.google - copy and paste, or upload form your computer or drag the photo over and put it in the search bar. Hit search and Volia! (You can find your very own here. It's from Anthropologie.) I'll post a Picture when mine comes in. I'm so excited, I can hardly wait!

I know there was a huge delay in between the first post and this one. I wound up getting majorly sick, forgetting the password (d'oh!) and losing my job. However, not working 8 hours a day right now means more posting opportunities! I wasn't completely not thinking about this blog-I've been  dreaming up for re-occurring post themes:

Fitness
Fashion-Using Pinterest to be more fashionable.
Cooking
Homemaking
Being creative!

I've already got some outlined that just need to be typed up. :) I hope you have a great week this coming week and stay tuned for exciting things!
Best,
Alexis
