Random nonsense

8.29.2012

I got these shorts at Old Navy and I wear them all the time. Someone stop me!



I wore gray/orange/cheetah to lunch with the hubs yesterday and he commented on how "groovy" it was.  Hehe.


The other night at pre-school open house my good pal (who spends WAY more on purses than I do) thought my bag was the Red Valentino she's been thinking of buying.  I laughed out loud and gave myself away.  Mine was $30 Jessica Simpson clearance, not $500.  They do favor and of course now I love my bag even more.
The steal...


vs the real deal...


I put Pinterest to use this week and used an idea I pinned. For my nephew's birthday (he lives far away:(, we shipped him a box of balloons filled with money.  He has to pop them all to get it out.  


I think it's a super cute idea and I hope he loves it!

Love these blouses from Loft, want them...




Last but not least, we've been snacking on Pirate's Booty lately and it's so addictive... Who needs fresh fruit? (kidding:)


I've always loved cheese puffs but I'd never heard it called Pirate's Booty until recently.  What a weird name.  Oh well, it's yummy!

Happy Wednesday friends:)

    You know how much I love your random posts!! They are my absolute favorite! I adore those ON shorts and think you should wear them every as much as possible! Love the yellow/grey/cheetah and love your husband's comment even more! Those husbands can surprise us sometimes :) Your purse does look like the Valentino bag, great deal on yours! Of course I love those Loft tops as well! That store gets way too much of my $$. That is a great idea about shipping the balloons with money, he is going to love it! Lastly, I saw the Pirate's Booty at the store this week and had no idea if it would be any good and now hearing it from you I think I need to pick some up! That concludes my book :) Have a great day Courtney!!

    I LOVE that balloon idea! I'm sure any kid would be thrilled to receive that. Also, how great is it when someone thinks your bag is far more expensive than it actually is?! I had a bag a few years ago that constantly got mistaken for Valentino, and it was actually like $60 from Arden B. It makes you feel like you've outsmarted everyone ;)

    My mum use to do the balloon idea for any one who lived out of state. My 21 year old cousin still talks about how much he loved getting the balloons! Love the outfits you paired with those shorts! xo

    I tried to buy those ON shorts but they didn't have my size! Boo. Where did you get the heart top? I love it! I love the purse too. Such a fun present for your nephew. He's going to love it. I'm hoping LOFT has another sale very soon!
