1. If you could pick one fashion icon, living or not, to spend an hour picking their brain, who would it be & why?


THANK YOU in advance!!! :)

1. Our back yard, so full of leaves! I absolutely love it, sooo pretty!
2. Crock Pot Chicken Parmesan. Seriously, everyone needs to try it {RECIPE HERE!}


3. Just hanging out, by the pantry, where the treats are... Sneaky little girls!
4. My Breakfast at Tiffany's poncho {Please, do yourself & your closet a favorite & add this piece to it now... Just sayin'...} from the one & only KiKi La'Rue {Can be found HERE}


5. Mab just hanging out & watching movies with me this past weekend. She's such a ham for the camera.
6. Just a little Starbucks run the other day before work.


7. This rarely happens, these two getting along like this! Normally they have to be at opposite ends of the couch just to calm down and be still. I was a pretty happy Mama! :)
8. The scarf I made the other night. Thank you everyone for the love on it! I was kind of nervous of the color and how large it turned out to be but it has grown on me massively over the last 24 hours!


9. Last night, at dinner, one of our friends ordered a "Shark Drink" well it came with a plastic shark all cute and hanging over the side. He picked it up played around with it, sat it down and squeezed it {obviously to see if it squeeked} & well, red juice started coming out of it, which we all reacted "ooooh!" {Genuinely concerned for the well being of the plastic shark}. Turns out, it was a shot inside the shark that was supposed to be poured into the drink... You think the waitress would of said something. Either way, looks cool & is perfect for Halloween!
10. Speaking of Halloween {& the previously mentioned KiKi La'Rue} this is my outfit for today! The Boat House Sweater in Orange is pretty much perfect for today {& for the rest of Fall of course!}

1. Tell us about how and when you met your love and what attracted you most to him.

We met in September of 2005 when I started working at Subway {he was my manager}. It took us over a year to even realize we were interested in one another {November 2006 was when we hung out for the first time, however it wasn't by choice it was at a mutual friends birthday party}.

That was the first time we actually saw each other outside of the "work" environment. I didn't know how to get to the hotel downtown where the party was taking place so we met at a gas station and I followed him. We could not find our way to the room when we got there, it was an entertaining few minutes being lost together, it was then I first really saw his personality and sense of humor come out. By the end of the night I was a bit smitten, he walked me to my car since it was late and in a parking garage {he wasn't leaving but wanted to make sure I got to my car... *awww*}

I was very intrigued and attracted to his sense of humor, personality & chivalry... He had qualities that I honestly had never seen in a guy that age {& yes he is still that same funny, crazy & gentlemanly guy**}

**--when he wants to be :P

3. Tell us some of your favorite memories that you two had together.

Oh gosh, there are so many. The one I have to say is one of my all time favorites is before we started dating... It was December 23rd 2006, I don't exactly remember if it was him who asked me or if I asked him, but either way we decided to go see Christmas lights together out by Six Flags {which is about a 20-25 minute drive from my house}. We found the right exit, however the direction of which way the line was starting confused me and we came up on a light, apparently you could only make a left or a right & since I had driven through these lights multiple times with my family he had asked me which direction... Well, I said straight... He listened & we ended up back on the highway, driving away from the lights. Eventually we did find our way back and got in the right line & got to drive through the lights... I like to consider this our first date. He still gives me so much trouble, "I said 'left or right' and you said 'go straight'... I should of known from that point on what I was in for." My response? "Well, you listened to me."

This story has pretty much set the tone of our entire relationship, and I absolutely love it.

5. Tell us what your "date nights" typically look like.

Usually just going out to dinner, coming back home and chilling out on the couch watching TV or a movie with the pups. Never anything crazy but perfect for the two of us.
