$50 of $100 purchase at LOFT Today!

Ann Taylor LOFT has been on the quest to reach a million followers and they did it! So today, they are offering a $50 off $100  full priced purchase coupon . After shopping last weekend with Marcy, I fell in love with a jacket, but it was completely sold out, so I got up and headed out to The Meadows to see if I could find it. And I had success! Here is what I picked up. Oh, and all these photos do not do these items justice.

I thought this was cute with a cardigan and jeans or going out with a long necklace.

This dress is so much cuter in person. It has a gold zipper in the back. It would be perfect with Tory Burch Reva's with the gold emblem.

And my jacket! I was so excited to get it. It's really thick and durable, and will be great for traveling this spring. 

So, hurry in store or online and pick up some goodies and let me know what you picked up!

SOPA Blackout

Today I am participating in the SOPA Blackout. You can get more details here.

The Golden Globes

So last night I watched the Pre-Red Carpet hour, the Red Carpet and then the Golden Globes last night. Can you tell I didn't have anything going on? So, I thought I'd share my top 3 favorites and my 3 misses.

#1 Jessica Alba. 

While she's not my favorite actress, she is always flawless looking. She looks simply stunning. 

#2 - Octavia Spencer. 

I absolutely love her in this dress. She looks so glamorous. It shows that you don't have to be a skinny Minny (haha, Help joke) to be stunning!

#3 Michelle Williams.

I'm not usually a big fan of what she wears, but I think this was so fantastic. The burnout velvet with the headband. Absolutely one of my favorites. I saw a tweet last night that said she wore her hair short because that is how Heath Ledger liked her hair. 

Onto the Not so Fabulous.

#1 Sarah Michelle Gellar

I do and don't like this dress. It looks like a fashion student art project.  She said she let her daughter pick it out. Her daughter is 2. So, that answers that. 

#2 Angelina Jolie

I may be the only person that doesn't find this pretty. E! absolutely loved it when I watched the pre-shows. She just looks kinda blah. 

#3 Madonna

After coming back 14ish years later, she is channeling Michael Jackson with these gloves. Take off the cap sleeve and the gloves and this could have been a pretty dress, and maybe an up-do too. 

Those were my hits and misses, what did you think?

Missing in Action

Miss me? Yes, I've missed you too. I've been insanely busy this week. I had great intentions of blogging all week, but it just didn't happen. This week was the introduction to my new position at work, and trying to juggle training, the old job and transitioning to my new job. I got to meet my new boss who was in this week for training. Then I had a get to know you dinner with my new team on Tuesday night. Then I started getting sick. Yuck. So, that leaves me here on Sunday night watching the E! Red Carpet for the Golden Globes.

This weekend wasn't very productive. Friday night we stayed in ordered a little Chinese food and watched 50/50. I apparently fell asleep in the middle and woke up at the end. 

Saturday I made the trek to Costco for the necessities ( I know, so exciting, right?) and then hubs and I went on a trip to Home Depot and Lowe's to find some shelving options for the closet in the laundry room. I had a brilliant idea that we should turn that into overflow kitchen storage. For serving platters, crock pots and that kind of stuff rather than shoving everything in cabinets and they are a mess. Found a great Rubbermaid pantry kit.  Jeff installed it today while I was out and it turned out fantastic. Now, I just need to organize a little bit. 

Then today we headed out to church, and then I met up with Alyssa and we had lunch at Chevy's and did a little shopping. It was fun catching up with her. I feel like I haven't seen her in eons! It's funny from seeing her everyday from when we were training for the half marathon. 

And now, just watching the Golden Globes.

I'm excited to be off work tomorrow and then Tuesday I'm headed out the Portland and Seattle for some work meetings. I'm super excited to go my trip and visit the Pacific Northwest! 

Okay, most boring post ever!
                             

Lilly Pulitzer Ciara Tunic Multi Chorus Girl (clipped to polyvore.com)

In other news, my shopping hiatus officially died this week. I couldn't pass up an awesome deal for this Lilly tunic. LOVE! I did sell 4 items and I now have enough for my Sloane Dress, that I'm still debating. Okay, enough from me. 

I'm super excited about the Pink Swap! I'm excited I have The Pink Pineapple! I had such a great time last year participating, so I'm excited to do it again this year!
