Oranje + Silver Linings

Saturday's been pretty spectacular. I got to sleep in, ate some cookies for lunch (they're my weakness), Curtis and I went to Silver Linings Playbook, and we just got back from BJs for dinner. I'm kind of feeling a bit sick to my stomach, but I think it's because I drank cream soda, I'm not sure my stomach can handle that kind of sweet..but it's so delish! Anywho, if you haven't seen Silver Linings Playbook, I definitely recommend it. I went in knowing I wanted to see it (a la Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper, two of my absolute favorite actors), but not knowing exactly what it was about. I hadn't even seen the preview in a while. But, it's probably one of the best movies I've seen in a while (minus the Hobbit and Les Mis..but those are different). I'm going to buy it on DVD people, that's some serious lovin' from me. It definitely wasn't what I even had pictured..not that that was much, but it was amazing! There was definitely a few f-bombs dropped, but meh, I wasn't offended by it really. I won't give anything away though, you'll have to see it for yourself! Oh, and it's pretty long (2ish hours), but totally worth it. I wanted it to keep going, and I didn't even think about how long it was while I was watching it. I'm kind of a romantic, so if you're like me, this'll definitely be a movie for you!

And no, I didn't spell orange wrong on accident. That's how you spell it in Dutch {pronounced oh-rahn-yuh, I believe}. I'm such a nerd.

Here's what I wore:


I'm not too crazy about this top. I got it in a massive sale Old Navy was having over Christmas break, and I don't typically go for the color orange. It's actually my least favorite color (totally has nothing to do with the Texas Longhorns..{sarcasm}). But, I really liked this top because of the stripes. I love stripes, I'm semi-obsessed with stripes. I tried on two striped shirts yesterday, didn't get either of them because it was more than I wanted to spend, but I loved both of them. ..back to this shirt, the shoulders are weird though, like maybe mine are too broad for it. {side note, the beagles just started howling like crazy..one day I'll post a video of it on here, it's hilarious and adorable} I duno, but the shirt is comfy, so I'll keep on wearing it! Plus, it's nice to get out of my neutral comfort zone. And this bag, I bought it with a gift card last summer from Dillard's..it's probably been one of my absolute favorite purchases..ever. I debated between it and a Fossil bag (which wasn't leather btw), but it won out because it was leather and gorgeous. I can't afford Fossil leather bags..but if I could, I'd have one in a heart beat. It's held up really well though, and I love it more and more everyday.


I promise I'm not bow-legged or anything..I just stand like this a lot. I'm pretty awkward. 


Muggles wondering what on earth her mother is doing outside without her, and also, while I was taking photos, there were a ton of sirens going off (ambulances, police cars, firetrucks..the works), so she was freaking out a little bit. I have no clue what happened, but I hope everyone that was involved is okay. 


Hope y'all all have a fantastic Saturday night! And I shall leave you with this..


It's from my Vine account. I've been meaning to post it for like three days now, but I kept forgetting. Not very awesome like some of the videos I've seen on there, but I love it because it's like a GIF of the beagles, and the blinking cracks me up every time. If you haven't gotten a Vine account, it's pretty stinking cool. I'm hoping to use mine more often.

Oh, and since I'm constantly listening to music, I'm gonna start posting what song I'm currently listening to while I'm writing my posts. Or at least my favorite that comes on while I take forever to write them. I may come up with a better name in the future, but for now..I'll call it Song of the Post. If you've got any ideas, lemme hear 'em! Or, if you have any favorite songs/bands/musicians, let me know. I love new music, and I'm open to pretty much anything!

Song of the post:
Shine Your Light on Us by Robbie Seay Band

    1. Why thank you, Nicole! They're super comfy, I'd probably wear them everyday if people wouldn't notice. And I'll tell Muggles you said so, she'll be delighted it hear it ;)

    1. Thanks, Jenna! :)
      And nope, it's not strange at all to miss your doxie babies! I hate being away from the beagles, and I haven't spent more than two days away from Muggles...ever. I turn down doing stuff because I don't want to be away from them. They're kind of like my children.. with lots of fur.
