fashion friday...t-shirt time

I'm so glad it's Friday, which means the weekend is just around the corner!  It's been a long, but fun week.  My cousin's family was in town and I tried to spend some time with them at my mom's house after work every night.  Mr. H and I enjoyed visiting with them.  They head back to Amarillo tomorrow.

Are you a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl?  I am not and honestly never have been.  I consider myself to be a very girly girl and always seem to just dress up naturally.  I put an "Anica" spin on this week's Friday's Fancies theme: t-shirt time.  I paired my outfits with fun accessories.  This is how I wear t-shirts.

Here's my favorite color combo: hot pink, white and black.  I've had my eye on those H&M shorts for a while and this is the perfect outfit to wear with them.  I love the blazer look and this cute 3/4 length sleeve blazer is a great addition to this outfit.

Isn't this bauble bar necklace to die for??  Now this outfit is a "dress down" outfit for me.  Ha.  This is an outfit I'd wear to brunch, out with friends, shopping, etc.  It's amazing how accessories can transform an outfit.

I'm linking up with the lovely {av} over at long distance loving for my Friday's Fancies.  Check out some of the other great outfits fellow bloggers have put together.  It's one of my favorite parts of the link up.

I am so proud to be an American!!  I can't believe how talented these athletes are that are representing the USA.  Wow!!  Congrats Gabby Douglas for your gold win yesterday for the women's all around!!  How awesome is it to be 16 years old and have a gold metal from the Olympics.  You go girl!

I'm also loving watching Michael Phelps break yet another world record with the number of metals and the new swimming sensation: Missy Franklin.

I could just watch the Olympics all day!  It's so hard to get caught up from what happened during the day because it's on a night too.  Ha.  At least all the sports I'm really excited about watching are in the evening: swimming and gymnastics.  

Mr. H and I plan to do NOTHING this weekend!  We will lounge at home, watch the Olympics, get caught up on other TV shows and just spend some time together.  I'm looking forward to a very relaxing weekend!  

Happy Friday!

it's my birthday, plus fashion friday!

Okay, I'm officially 28 years old!  Wow.  It's hard to believe in two years I'll be 30.  However, for now I'll just focus on being 28.

The best thing that happened during my year of being 27 is that I got married!  I think that will go down as being one of the best years of my life.  28 has a lot to live up to.

A little walk down memory lane...

Since I have a summer birthday I never had school on my birthday.  Then, once I entered into the real world I had things thing called work I had to go to on my birthday...yuck!  Ha.  I have been very fortunate though to be able to take it off.  So I will not be working tomorrow and instead I'll be spending the afternoon with my mom and then it's off to dinner with Mr. H!  I'm SO excited!!!!  I love celebrating my birthday.  Even though I'm getting older, I still enjoy it.

It's summer (although it's quickly coming to an end), which means it's the perfect time for summer cocktails and cold drinks.  I have a Pinterest board full of yummy drinks and I've never made any.  That was a goal of mine this summer, but hasn't happened yet.  

Here are two yummy ones I must try and I used them as inspiration in creating these two fabulous outfits.

*Side note: I wanted to get this dress from H&M to wear for my birthday dinner, but it was sold out in stores and now no longer available to view online.  It was adorable!

The opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics start tonight!  I LOVE the Olympics and am so excited for them to begin.  Mr. H and I will be having my birthday dinner so we'll have to dvr the ceremony.  I'm sure it's going to be awesome.  Michael Phelps starts it off Saturday morning...can't wait!

Chris and Laura are great friends of ours and are getting married TOMORROW!  We can't wait to celebrate with this super sweet couple.  It's been so fun to have all of our friends join us in the married couples club.  Congrats friends!!!

I think that pretty much sums everything up!  I hope everyone has a wonderful day...I KNOW I will!!

HAPPY Weekend FRIENDS!!!

you know what happens july 27???

July 27 is a pretty special day for me for two reasons: 1) it's my BIRTHDAY!!!! and 2) the OLYMPICS begin.

I love celebrating birthdays and mine is no exception.  I don't really do parties anymore, but birthdays are a big deal to me.  I just like the day to be special and spend it with people I love.  That's not asking for too much, right?!?!

I don't know about you, but I LOVE the Olympics!  It's actually pretty funny because I generally don't like watching sports at all.  When it comes to the Olympics though, I'm all over it.  I have been excited for quite some time, and when I found out the opening ceremony is on my birthday I was doubly excited!

My favorite Olympic sports to watch are swimming, diving, gymnastics and sand volleyball.  It's so awesome to root for your country and at the same time see countries from all over the world together in one place.  It's pretty cool if you ask me.

If I could go to any Olympics, it would have been this year in London.  I've never been, but I think it's an awesome location for the Olympics.  London looks to be a beautiful place filled with historic sites and hello Prince William and Kate!  Ha.  

I'm super pumped for July 27th to come and you better believe I'll be counting down the days!!  And it's cool because the rest of the world is too!!!!!  

Will YOU be watching the Olympics this year?

What's YOUR favorite sport to watch?
