Where to begin?

ok, ok... I know it has been a while.  I don't think I've ever neglected my blog this long.  These past two weeks have been a whirlwind.  Last week, my office prepared for a luncheon during Charleston Fashion Week, which kept us all very busy.  On top of that, I only had a three day work week...so trying to get ahead of the game before leaving was a little more trying than it usually would have been.  The fashion show was a huge success and all money raised benefitted MUSC Children's Hospital.  
We had some of our patients walk the runway with their "Champions" (their hero/doctor).  
It was a very special moment!

After cleaning up, I had two hours to get back to my house, throw everything in the car and get to the airport.  Then it was off to Key West for my bachelorette party...
 My bachelorette and Brandon's bachelor party overlapped by one day, so we were able to sneak away and see the Southernmost Point.
Key West is such a fun place & I'm so very blessed to have these amazing ladies treat me to a long weekend away!  The weather was absolutely perfect ...we went from 85 degrees in Key West, to 45 degrees back in Charleston.  Talk about a shock when I got off the airplane back at home.  

I've also been really, really sick since I've been back.  I have some sort of virus and my upper respiratory system is shot.  I guess only getting four hours of sleep each night in Key West might have had a few things to do with my immune system breaking down.  I missed work on Wednesday, pushed through it yesterday, and am out again today.  I hope I'll be back in commission by Easter.

Speaking of it being Easter...  there is less than a month until our wedding!  I have a million things on my list and the stress has officially set in.  I'll be sharing more about this next week when posts resume to normal.  Also, look out for my review on the Lo & Sons O.G. Bag and a post about my opinion on competing in pageants.

pops of yellow + stella and dot winners










Didn't realize I was such a "pop of yellow" girl until I saw all of these images pinned on my boards.  I am currently finding myself gravitating towards bright colors, whether it be clothes or interiors.  Spring is almost here!  It may be 50 degrees outside, but the sun is shining and that groundhog promised us warm weather a little earlier this year.  That gives me hope.

This weekend is a busy one and will be spent back home in Beaufort and Ridgeland with our parents.  Brandon and I have our first pre-marital counseling session, which we are really excited about.  My grandfather and great aunt are visiting my parents, so it will be a full house!  I've also got a bridal shower on Sunday!  The wedding festivities are well underway and guess what... we get married NEXT MONTH!  I've been waiting for March 1st to be able to say that.  Man that felt good.

In other news, I'm sure you've been waiting for me to share the Stella and Dot winners.  Remember, one lucky lady will win the Julep Bangle and two of you will win 50% off one item on Stella & Dot.

{currently}

Currently wanting:
I think this emerald green skirt needs to be in my closet as of, well... yesterday. 

Currently eating:
I made this baked potato soup last week and it was a pretty darn good first effort. We ate every last bit.  I kind of changed the recipe some, but here's the main recipe I followed.

Currently thinking:
This quote has more and more meaning to me every time I see it.

Currently loving:
In love with the beautiful simplicity of hydrangeas.


Currently painting: 
Perfect Christmas color.

Currently wearing:
 The best black dress you could possible imagine for work.  Structured, yet incredibly comfortable.  It's from Banana Republic and can be found on sale here!  I paired it with a Banana Republic scarf from last season and boots from last year.

Currently spying:
Actually... nothing.  
I don't see anything unusual, do you?
