underdog.

if there's one sport i don't understand, it's football.

but, my nephew's birthday is on february 1st,

so we always celebrate on superbowl sunday.

i'm clueless as to what a down is, nor do i know what a blitz is. they could be bunting balls and making goals in the third inning for all i know (har har!). what i do care about is the half-time show, the commercials, and the final score...in that order. and, for the purpose of having something to cheer about, i always root for the underdog. go giants!

if you aren't a football fan, keep yourself busy while the guys watch the game by doing a little shopping at asos.

now that's something to cheer about.

will you be watching the game? which team are you cheering for?

sweet hearts.

two of my favorite things right now...

pretty blouses and dainty gold chains. i'm still obsessed with collared button-down shirts, and this one is lightweight making it easier to wear in this blazing heat. plus, the sweet hearts are just in time for valentine's day. speaking of sweethearts, scroll on down to meet one.

 

coconut + original tart fro-yo topped with cheesecake bits.

and

a long overdue shout out to kim of a very sweet blog for the one lovely blog award and the sweetheart award.

  

kim and i met on the blogosphere last year and she quickly charmed me with her bubbly (southern) personality (y'all). she has a big heart and is sincerely supportive of her fellow blog friends. in addition, her posts never disappoint...from fashion to feast, you will find the sweetest treats to tempt and inspire you. thank you, kim, for all your support!

let's chat.

there was consensus among all that no one really goes back to read replies to comments. however, due to the ease of use, i will continue to reply within the post especially if answering your question benefits others who might have the same question. plus, i did notice a few readers responding to some of the comments as well, and i think it's a great way to dialogue and to communicate with fellow bloggers.

this jumpsuit was a score from the sister. we both saw it.

we both wanted it. i let her buy it she bought it.

patience, my friends. patience.
