This week was crazy busy but also super fun going from job to interview to job. I am loving the companies I am working with right now even though it is only for a brief period… fingers crossed it will turn into a longer time period. It is really cool to see the different aspects in each company and their daily functions. Even though I haven’t secured my dream design job quite yet, I still feel like I am enlightened each day by this fun and complicated industry… some things I definitely love and others I can do without. Life is such a learning process in everything you do and I am thoroughly loving this period of my life. If my three guys were here with me it would make it that much better.

The insta-pics below are from previous weeks when I wasn’t working such long hours but they were great fun indeed. Yes, that is Zach Galifianakis, and yes, I decided to put my celebrity polite rules aside (you know, the rule that when you see a celebrity you act like they are just like everyone else and pretend they are not there when gazing at them through the corner of your eye while quietly whispering to others around that that is indeed a celebrity in your presence but you never under any circumstance let that celebrity know that you know who he/she is) and instead chased him down the sidewalk asking for a photo to prove to my friends that indeed I saw him. I swear I normally wouldn’t do this, which was proven the next day when we saw Jason Sudeikis at my favorite food market and only secretly snapped photos of him without his knowledge.

That week started out with a a nice craft evening planned to take place at the Etsy headquarters. We got our hands dirty making terrariums and seed bombs and I also had an unsuccessful interview for Martha Stewart TV due to the fact that I could not pronounce terrarium after several tries ha. But I was able to redeem myself at the Madewell Denim Roadtrip and Braid Bar when they interviewed Ann and I on our braided dos and their airstream campaign, which was adorable.

The Dry Bar experience was an interesting experience. I went back to my roots and received the Southern Blowout while watching the stylist learn new braided up-do techniques.

We only viewed one film at the Tribeca Film Festival called First Winter which was beautiful to watch as far as coloring and nature but some of the material was questionable. Also questionable was a psychedelic rock band called Prince Rama complete with neon aztec printed tights (these are a cuter version), 80s hair, glittered faces and a lengthy choreographed dance. I have definitely seen some crazy and interesting things in this city. Can’t wait to see what crazy things are in store for this week.

Here are a few items I like from the etsy shop Margery Daw. These items might be a little too warm for me to purchase in February. The weather here in South Louisiana should be warming up soon but if you are further up north you should take a look!!

I really love the mustard cape and colorful plaid dress with its off centered front zipper.

Thanksgiving was good, not as great as usual. The family was dispersed everywhere and I was not allowed to bring little Ollie to dreaded Shreveport. The only thing that made me happy for this weekend is the promise of thrifting…but when we headed towards our destination we found that our thrifting spots were no longer opened…boo. So I am sitting here in a big city with no good places to shop on the biggest shopping day of the year. Decided to entertain myself the only way I can here…internet.

So my attention turned to Europe finds. Since we are backpacking to over six countries, I am allowed only one bag to fit all my necessities for three weeks in. I am left with bringing these…

Coat- comfortable, warm, waterproof, cute and reusable
Layers- j-crew turtlenecks and long sleeves on sale
Bag- big, comfortable, cute
Long Johns- wool or silk
Boots- comfortable, long, leather, preferably brown or grey

I want these etsy boots, but they are already sold…boo

I have been searching for weeks to check off some of these items off of my list and so far the layers are the only things that have been acquired (for my bday).

These bags are so cute but not sure if they are do-able for the trip. This valhallabrooklyn bag is adorable but might be impossible to carry without the back pack straps. The cuteness might just win over the usability

I also love this bag from MimsMaine but might be too small….

So many decisions and so tired of looking, ha…

Please help!!! Suggestions?

Taking a break from online browsing, going watch “A Serious Man”!
