These work out bras from NastyGal might actually make working out fun. Who want to be the melons to my coconuts?

I finally found the sign I'm going to carry when I'm homeless at the end of the summer!

Weekly Round Up: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Happy Friday, everyone! This week has been insanely busy. We have been consolidating our office space at work for the past two weeks which basically means that I have been dealing with insane bullshit and manual labor for 14 days. While it's been stressfull, being busy at work usually gets me motivated to make more use of my personal time. This week was filled with awesome dinners with friends (more on that later), trips to thrift stores and the container store, and Europe trip planning. This weekend I have a happy hour with work friends to celebrate the end of the move (!!!), sushi with my girlfriends, and my first pure barre class! The weather is going to be awful so I'm looking forward to using the time I would normally spend drinking outdoors to get some much needed work done in my apartment. Here are some snap shots from this past week:

Insanely long bathroom line at Pat Green. It took my friends 30 mins just to get in the door. #TheBad

Corn beef and cabbage taco from Moontower for St. Patricks day. Yes, it looks gross but it tasted amazing. #TheGood

Mango Lassi from Bombay Bowl. So delish. #TheGood

Bruise Covered legs from moving boxes. #TheUgly

I found this little gem while cleaning out my bosses old office. Belen was kind enough to track him down and get it signed for me. #TheUgly

New amazing bar mixers. #TheGood

I can always count on my friend Mitch to make my Wednesdays ridiculous. #TheGood

My impressive burrito from big city. This is the "regular" size. Yes it was delicious and no I did not eat it all at once. #TheGood

This is a hipsters version of sexting? #TheUgly 

Okay, well this sign is clearly posted on the entrance to hell. #TheBad

My friend Ross' dog Truman. He looks like a viking. #TheGood

The last of my hoard to be moved out today. #TheBad

Drinking and Jumping Hot Dogs

I'll admit it....I'm a total livingsocial/groupon junkie. I currently have 11 living socials and 6 groupons sitting in my inbox waiting to be spent. I have everything from botox to horseback riding to Peruvian food to car detailing. Despite my eclectic collection, I have yet to add an actual tangible item to to my arsenal. That is, until today.

 The second I saw the little gadget above I knew I had to have it. No, I'm not an alcoholic. And no I never drive drunk. Living in a city like Denver basically ensures that I will never be put in a situation where I have to worry about getting home safely  So although this purchase was totally unnecessary I simply could not resist the party game element of this contraption.  Not only is it so much chicer looking than your everyday Breathalyzer, its compatibility with Iphones ensures that you will never have to go thru the hassle of changing the batteries. And at the discounted price of $29 (marked down from $89) you'd honestly be a fool not to buy this. Cheers to drinking responsibly (ha), calling your friends out, and most importantly being a bargain shopper in this economy.

For those of you groupon/living social junkies who don't like to engage in adult beverages, may I suggest you purchase this daily deal in lieu of the breathalyzer. Being the only sober person in a group of drinkers gives you a totally unfair advantage in life. You always remember everything. You never have to pay for cabs. You never send texts saying things like "biggest crush ever" or pocket dial your dads office. Generally speaking, you never look stupid. The only way to level out this playing field is for you to buy this "jumping hot dog" and ride it at all times when drinking is commencing. This might seem a tad unfair but atleast take comfort in the fact that no matter how silly you may look, you will never look anywhere near as creepy as the the ginger with the berry lipstick and come hither glance who is showcased in the picture above.  

Weekly Round Up: The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Yes this is a real movie. And its awesome. Check out the other St. Pattys inspired flicks here.

Happy Friday, everyone! I'm not going to guild the lily here. This week sucked. For many many reasons. I'm very very happy to welcome the weekend. My bestie arrives tonight from Dallas and im excited for a weekend to eating, concert going, wedding planning (her not me...duh), and most of all celebrating St. Patty's day!! Before I sign off here are a few snap shots from this past week. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Really, Denver? Atleast pull my hair back if you are going to fuck me this hard. #TheBad

New tasty morsels in the form of Botkier and chocolate sea salt caramels. #TheGood

This message was sent at 2:06 AM. And yes I actually was out. I was at Tom's Urban 24 stuffing my face with fig and goat cheese pizza and barbacoa tacos. Name has been removed to protect the guilty. #TheGood #TheUgly

I made excellent headway in organizing my entire bookshelf. Hey, baby steps, okay? #Thegood

Honestly? 18 work voicemails? Yeah I dont want to subscribe to the wallstreet journal. Nor do I want to organize a free reflexology workshop for my employees. Thanks! #TheUgly

New make up brushes from Forever21. Only $3! #TheGood

Broken garbage disposal and drain. Sink full of dirty dishes. Landlord out of country till Monday. Calling my own plummer will be $75. No. #TheUgly

New Frenchie make up bag from Forever21 that I'm using as a lunchbox. Today there is a yogurt and sweet candies in it. #TheGood

Final notice. Thank God I'm getting a bonus at work....OH WAIT, I'm not. #TheBad

The joys of moving. #TheUgly

The best new flavor of blue bell ever. Tastes just like lemon pound cake! #TheGood

Speeding ticket. From the same cop who gave me my last one. On the same road. Going the same speed. #TheUgly

Floral Code

I have sort of a love hate relationship with florals. They can be tricky. I often find that they look very juvenile or very tacky. In the past I would only really trust floral prints from designers like DVF or Lily Pulitzer. I don't know if it's spring fever or if I've just been hanging out with Belen too much but this season I have found myself highly drawn to the floral offerings of more affordable stores like Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters. I have already added a few of these little gems to my closet and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't craving more.
