Ready for Spring

I think the warm weather today is making me crave spring and boy when it comes I will be ready. I'm sad that we didn't have a major snow storm this winter- no sledding, snowball fights or building snowmen.
Since we didn't, the sun and warmth I am eagerly awaiting.
No more dreary grey days.

Here are some of the things I will be enjoying this spring... not all at once of course.

• a fun gold sequined skirt that I scored on super clearance at Madewell, perfect for a night out on the town
• fun colorful bedding from Anthropologie-also on super clearance around the holidays
• one of my new favorite fragrances- Twirl by Kate Spade
• neon nails
• freshly picked flower bouquets from my flower CSA (Christmas gift from the hubby-xoxo)
• my yellow rain boots

I can't wait for spring. I'm praying I don't have bad allergies this year.
What are some of the fashion, beauty, for the home things you are looking forward to this spring?

Just Sinful

Last week, Walgreens had their Sinful Professional Nail Colors on sale for $.99 and I stocked up.

These will add a punch of color to my spring and summer wardrobe.

These polishes are budget friendly and with the addition of a base coat and top coat will make for perfect manis and pedis!!

I can't wait for warmer weather.

Are you going to try anything new to spice up your beauty routine this spring?

Snapshots of Mardi Gras 2012

As soon as we got in my first stop was to pick up a fried shrimp po'boy sandwhich!

Friday night, I got all dressed up and joined my cousins for the annual Zulu Coronation Ball. It was a night of elegant ball gowns and tuxedos, delicious food and on time drinks. We danced until 4am.

 

Saturday we slept!!!

Sunday, we went to a Mardi Gras church service and enjoyed King Cake and that good ole' church punch right after service.

Sunday night we caught some night parades and ended the evening with some fresh beignets from Cafe Du Monde!

Monday, we enjoyed all the beautiful parades that took part in Lundi Gras! We came home with three big bags of beads and throws.

Tueday, Mardi Gras Day, we had a ball. We caught the Zulu, REX and the truck parades.

We ran into some Indians and even did a little dancing in the streets.

  

Overall we had an amazing time and I know the boys will never forget their special time in New Orleans for Mardi Gras 2012.

I have videos I will try to load soon.

Until next time..

This weekend I am going to another Mardi Gras party held by The Men of Omega Psi Phi here in the city.

I will post pictures next week!
