Friday's Fancies - Nautical

So, I'm a day behind, but I wanted to link up again for Friday's Fancies with {av} over at Long Distance Loving.  It's a nautical theme this week, which is one of my absolute favorite looks.  I LOVE anything striped, and I've done several blogs posts full of stripes, so I went in a somewhat different direction this time.

Corals and yellows were my theme colors, and I thought this chambray shirtdress would be the perfect summer staple.  Mix it with flip flops and a fedora for a more casual look, or dress it up (like below) with fun wedges and lots of gold accessories :)  I also LOVE this simple, but gorgeous swim suit.  Check out more Friday Fancies here!

Currently...

I have done a "Currently" post before, but was just inspired again by Caroline over at Simply Smithwick,

and I thought it was time for another one!  :)

Current Playlist:

I'm addicted to Pandora...these are the "stations" I've been loving lately-

-Adele (so amazing)

-Ray LaMontagne (chill)

-Lada Gaga (for gym)

-Black Eyed Peas (driving w/ windows down)

-Hymns for Worship (I'm a traditional hymns kind of girl, and since I work on Sundays and can't make it to church, this allows me to worship on my own.)

Current Nail Polish:

On toes - "Geranium" by Essie

On fingers - I am switching between "Fiji" by Essie...



...and "Minted" by Revlon

Current Drink:

I recently was introduced (thanks Chels!) to a delicious beverage by Vitamin Water.
It is the Energy Citrus flavor and really does give me a great boost of energy (without tons of sugar or caffeine.)  It is great for a pre-workout drink, or even during the work day.  (And it's delish!)

Current Food:

Hmmmm, I have lots. 

But currently, for breakfast, it's Kashi cereal.

Lunch is tuna or chicken salad in a pita pocket, fruit, and baked chips.

And dinner, I have been on a major shrimp kick (shrimp cocktail, shrimp sushi, homemade shrimp scampi..ok now I'm starting to sound like Bubba from Forrest Gump).

Current TV Show:

I'm a reality show junkie, so right now I'm loving the new seasons of:
1. The Bachelorette (guilty pleasure)
2. SYTYCD (love this show, these dancers are incredible)

Current Wishlist:

Loose, blousy tops for summer

Neutral wedges

Mac Sheen Supreme Lipsticks

Current Needs:

The gym.

Current Triumphs:

Not getting a speeding ticket on the way to work this morning...
I was running a tad late :(

Current Bane of my Existence:

Allergy season, which is actually pretty much ALL seasons for me.
UGH. Hate it more than anything. 

Current Celebrity Crush:

JT. Always.

And also, I'd love to go on a date (just as friends, of course..love you, hubby!) with SNL's, Seth Meyers...

so hilarious, and so cute!

Current Blessing:

My new sweet niece, who is a week old today!

Love you A.G!  Can't wait to meet you :)

Current Outfit:

Well, I'm currently wearing scrubs..BORing.

But I'm currently loving to wear my white skinny jeans paired with, well, anything.

My fave is probably a blousy top in a bright color, and fun strappy sandals.

Current Indulgence:

Normally I would say, something chocolate, but since I'm cutting out desserts right now, it is now mani/pedi's....ahhhhh bliss.

Current Excitement:

1. I'm going home tomorrow!  So ready to see my fam, bestie, and feel the sea breeze and sand in my toes.

:)  Can't wait.

2. Philadelphia with John in T minus 14 days.  Can't wait to explore the city together! :)

Current Mood:

Sleepy and hungry...
happy and blessed :)

HAPPY SUNDAY! 
XOXOXO

I couldn't resist :)

Do brunettes have more fun?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the gorgeous look of bronzy, tanned, and glowing skin, (I am loving St. Tropez bronzing mousse right now) with a rich brown hair color.  It might be my favorite look ever :) 

Typically, if I am changing up my hair color a bit, I will go darker in the winter, and lighter in the summer, BUT...... 

these pretty ladies below pull of the look soooo incredibly well...that they have just about convinced me to dye my hair brown...like, pronto.  What do you think???  I need a change.

(that's me on the left several years ago as a dark brunette...thoughts?)

XOXO

The Queue

I am just a TAD bit excited about my current Netflix queue. 

You know the saying, "While the hubs is away, the wife will.......

watch the girliest movies ever!!  I can't wait :) 

Did you love any of these movies? Any other recommendations that I can add to my list?

XOXO

does anyone else secretly want them to reunite???

Happy Weekend!
