Hello my name is Robin and I'm a Shopaholic

This was me this past weekend.

INAPPROPRIATE.

I was on a drug and it was called "SALE" and "30% off of your entire purchase".

I bought 3 (THREE!) Pinkish/Red cocktail dresses. I have not really ever worn pink in my life, but spring has entered and taken over my body. This blog describes exactly how I feel about pinks right now: A Spot of Whimsy

This makes me smile

As does this:

I will post pics of the finds later. I will not look at my exhausted credit card bill until later as well.

Any one else been insanely over shopping at the thought of spring clothes?

Please vote

My insane indecisiveness is taking over my life.
Please pick 1 or 2 dresses for upcoming weddings.
I literally have no ability to make decisions.
Watch out there's like 10 dresses below...

This one is not for real. Maybe I've been reading too much of the Man Repeller, but this dress is horrible. I looked at it and saw two big X's on to certain areas.

Finally!

I have been watching this little shirt from Anthro like a hawk because everything there eventually goes on sale. The picture does not do it justice. The colors are gorgeous and bold and it's a perfect little boxy shirt.

Hello Deal of the Day

I came in to work a bit late today and because of that I got to see the Today show's segment (that I had never heard of) called Jill's Steals & Deals. I watched and some of it was ok, but one thing I fell in love with.

Hello, sterling silver and diamond necklace that I love on sale from $400 to $75.

Take a look to see the rest....

Recap

I was looking through photos on my phone last night and realized I had taken a lot of pictures recently with the intent to put them up on the blog, but never did it.

So here is everything all at once from my oh so exciting life.

I recently made some delicious brownies with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Heaven.

Ikat bikini from Target that I am obsessed with:

New shirt dress from Banana Republic outlet - obsessed. Please ignore the intense photo taking frown face.

New gold leather loafers also from Banana Republic outlet for..... $12.00!!!

Umphrey's McGee show in Denver

Christine and I at Galactic this past weekend. Such a good show!

Please note the AWESOME glow stick necklace that I have on.
Some guy bumped in to me and I said "Excuse me you just ran in to me."
He said "Oh no I'm so sorry"
I responded "It's ok just let me have your awesome glow stick necklace"
and he actually gave it to me!!
I was VERY excited.

A little direction please...

Sometimes I can't help but think how great it would be to have a road map for life.

Here's your map for life wrapped in a nice little bow...

Now read it...

And go live life!

Happy Friday!!!

I just love this photo.
I want to just sit on these steps and drink lemonade and eat jelly beans.

The Maxi Dress

I am about 99% positive that maxi dresses would look RIDICULOUS on me.
Long dresses just are not my thing, but I still love these...

They are making me feel like it might be ok to look like an idiot with a too short dress that makes me look preggers and awkward... if I'm draped in these gorgeous prints.

This is my fav - Milly on ebay... I'm thinking about it.

Spring

I am thrilled it is Spring,THRILLED, but it's making me feel like Summer is tomorrow.
All I keep dreaming of.....

Beaches

Lazy Summer days

And quite honestly.... hotdogs.
They make me think of summer...

I Miss College.

I just watched the series finale of Greek and while that show can be quite corny it totally tugged on the heart strings of college nostalgia.

It made me miss basically having no responsibility except for the occasional difficult class. All we did was go out, dress up, go to football games and then talk the next day for hours about what we just did and the boy we liked and then do it all again!

I miss the friends....everything!!!

This led me to go searching through facebook to find some old memories....


Freshman year in UT pre-gaming. Short hair = not a good look on me.

Carolina Cup, sophomore year.... drinking all day for a horse race we didn't event see

21st Birthday celebrations

Absolute ridiculousness

Football games

More ridiculousness

Sorority stuff

Graduation ridiculousness

There we go at bit of Wednesday nostalgia to get me through the week.

Mice.

So last week our neighbor (back studio apt on our house) knocked on the door and said:

"Just to let you guys know I just saw a mouse run across the floor and go under the stove."

AKA.... there could be a live mouse running in to your house at some point. Well I am NOT ok with this. I am very scared of mice, rats, rodents, etc. So here's what that fear and a vivid imagination produces:

1) Me reaching my hand in to the ceral box this morning and imagining feeling a little furry thing with a tail.

2) Me washing the dishes and always wearing shoes in the kitchen for fear of a little furry thing running across my foot.

3) Me looking in the toilet and seeing a mouse crawling out... THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED AT MY BEACH HOUSE ONCE.

It's not healthy.... I can't stop coming up with ways the mouse and I will meet. Even googling the images of mice right now just amplified this fear and seriously grossed me out.


Happy Monday! Hope you don't have a mouse in your house!!

New Hair Colour

It is finally Spring.....in other parts of the country! It's supposed to be snowing later here today so I don't know how springy that is going to make me feel, but oh well!

Normally when Spring or Fall comes I get the urge to dye my hair and it is right on track again with me searching for new hair colours..... and yes i think the word colour is much more fun than color.

So I'm thinking light reddish brown, I normally go dark reddish brown in the fall, but for spring I want to keep it light. BUT I can't find a photo anywhere that I like. And I have no idea how I would explain this to my hair stylist.

I think (??) I want a combo of these:

Kind of...

I just want something lighter and prettier and a bit redder.... what do you think?
