HAPPY FRIDAY!!!! I have lots of FAVORITES today because this has been a great week!
Thank you to everyone who wished me happy birthday yesterday!! Since I had to go to work yesterday, my students sang me happy birthday approximately 500 times and I had a student bring a birthday cake because he and I both had birthdays yesterday!
I always do an ice breaker activity on the first day of school where I make students line themselves up in order of their birthdays without talking, and he and I figured out on the first day that we had the same birthday. Well, he never forgot that haha. It was very sweet!
After school yesterday, I met my sister at the nail salon where she had made us an appointment She also picked us up coffee to enjoy while we got our nails done. I sat next to her while she got a pedicure and then she sat next to me while I got a manicure….perfect afternoon! I will do a post next week about my birthday celebrations!
Yesterday I shared in my birthday post that I am 5’7″ and a lot of y’all didn’t think I was that tall. Well, notice how tall Dustin is haha! One of my first questions when my coworker wanted to set me up on a blind date with him was how tall he was ๐ I still like to wear heels, so I needed someone who was much taller than me and he checked that box off ha!
Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas starts TODAY!!! They’ll be showing all older movies today and the new movie starts tomorrow night and I am so excited!!!
Nordstrom price matched the sweater I’ve been wanting forever, so I bought it yesterday thanks to some birthday money!! I also grabbed this sweater in green in hopes that it looks good with both jeans and skirts this Christmas season.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been on a 16 day tour of Australia and surrounding areas, so all of the MM fan IG accounts I follow have been posting all of her looks from the royal tour. When I woke up one morning and saw this look, I about died–IT’S BEAUTIFUL!!!
There are so many things I love about this look–it’s a beautiful shade of blue on her (blue is my fave color), the cape is a gorgeous detail, and I know you can’t tell in this picture, but you can see the smallest little baby bump in this dress. I love how modest this dress is and the fact that it still makes a huge fashion statement!
I hope y’all have a wonderful Friday!!! I’m getting my hair trimmed and watching Christmas movies after school today ๐๐๐

So jealous that you get to watch the Christmas movies today!! I have been counting down to this day forever, and then I got called for jury duty and have to take pictures at an event. Tomorrow….right? ๐ (And every other day until next year.)

Birthdays are just the best aren't they? I remember when I first found out you were 5'7" I was shocked too….it does make a difference that Dustin is tall. Thanks for sharing that free people tunic…ordering now! I'm only sad the pink is no longer available ๐

You would look just as beautiful in that MM blue dress!! I am so glad you had a sweet birthday, precious story about the boy and the cookie cake! Keep on celebrating right through the weekend!

I agree – that look on Megan is stunning! Love that color blue. And nothing makes me miss cable like when the Hallmark Christmas movies come out. *sob* Have a great weekend!

I never cared about Hallmark Christmas movies because I never had time to watch them when I worked and now that I don't work I wanna watch them but we got rid of our cable. Waaaahhhh!!!! Haha. I'm going to have to find some similar ones on Netflix!

So glad you had a great birthday!!! And YAY for Countdown to Christmas. I cannot wait! I was OBSESSED with Meghan's blue dress, too. I don't feel like everyone could pull that off and she just looks so glam and regal. It's gorgeous!
