On the wings of an owl

Embracing my inner flower child today, mostly because I love this hat.

Got the new Marie Claire magazine in the mail today. I love how bright the color is. It makes me want to go buy all of that make up collection. Ah...

Got this necklace in the mail from a site called Wish in order to pay homage to my sweet home Alabama life.

The circus came to town

So, we were supposed to go to a festival this weekend, but really just ended up at the circus. Oh well. "The best laid plans of mice and men..."

Uncaged

I haven't been posting lately, but it has been a very uneventful week.
On another note, I think Simply Southern shirts, skinny jeans (like these from TJ Maxx) and these boots from Old Navy have almost become a new uniform of sorts for me. It's a comfy look, yet you never look like you just rolled out of bed and put it on.

I have been reading Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov this week so it hasn't been a total drag. I'm normally not one to voice my opinion on controversial subjects, but I do support this novel and am very proud of it. I've watched both of the movie versions and a documentary on it. I definitely recommend giving this novel a chance because it is a well written love story and not just a disgusting tale of pedophilia.

Awards Night!

Watched the Golden Globes, brought to you by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
I love Awards season. It's a great chance to see Hollywood act humbled, as well as a chance to be exposed to shows and movies I may not have been familiar with prior.
As much as I always enjoyed Ricky Gervais' comedy and having him host, I do like Jimmy Fallon, and am a sucker for an opening show tune.
Other great moments from the Golden Globes were Ryan Gosling's acceptance speech for his wife... The HFPA's tribute to Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher... nominations for the Deadpool movie... Viola Davis presenting the Cecil B. DeMille award to Meryl Streep, and everything about her speech.
My favorite speeches are the ones where the winner has a heartfelt message, or the ones where the winner just cannot contain their excitement and get so proud. I know if that was me up there, I would either be too nervous to speak or so excited that I just ramble.

Went out to eat Indian food today and dressed for comfort and warmth. I picked up this sweater on a trip to Mexico from a vendor and it is so warm. I definitely recommend these Baja hoodies if you are in cold weather. The boots are just from Wal Mart, and the jeans were bought from a store called Hammers that I visit every time I make a trip up to the snowy mountains in Tennessee.

I can't feel my toes

This weather has been so rickety lately, and yesterday morning I awoke to a temperature of 27-degrees Fahrenheit outside. I didn't want to leave the house, but it was required, so I wore this outfit and then immediately came home and hopped back into comfy pajamas.

This sweater is from Target and really perfect for the bad weather.

These bootleg jeans came from JC Penney, and I've had them for awhile so they stretch comfortably and have become my go-to pair of jeans.

It's always good to have a hat/scarf combo for cold days. I love this JC Penney set because it's black so it goes with most of my dark-colored clothes. Plus it's sparkly, so it adds some extra flair to the boring cold days.

As nice as it is to go out, on cold days like yesterday I am more happy to stay at home under covers and binge watch. Today I rented Woody Allen's Cafe Society. It's got an All Star cast and is set in old Hollywood. What's not to love?

La la la

Out & about, in unpredictable weather. We started yesterday morning at 37-degrees, and by mid-afternoon it was 67-degrees.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

It's been raining for the past 3 days, complete with flood and tornado watches, so I've been hiding out at home watching old movies on Netflix.
But it cleared up yesterday long enough for me to go out and run some errands.
