Happy first Friday of 2018! I seemed to have all my days mixed up with New Year’s Day on Monday and a short (but appreciated) work week to follow. Highlight of the week has hands down been Georgia winning the Rose Bowl and advancing to the National Championship this upcoming Monday night. I think all of Atlanta is celebrating that win… I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I can’t wait for Monday and gameday! The rest of our week has been getting back into the swing of routines, brainstorming new goals to set for 2018 and de-cluttering the house. I love starting the new year out fresh and re-focused.

    Those velvet pants are incredible! I may just get an office job just to wear those, HAHA! Love all of these picks. I thought you were going to put the link to the Storify about the apartment ghost up today. I seriously spent an hour reading that and now I am obsessed!

    I have been eyeing those velvet pants and really want them! I read the Dear David thread and was terrified! My husband says it’s fake, but I’m still on the fence!

    I saw similar booties at DSW and thought the same thing! “I love these, but edgier than my norm”
    Have a great weekend!

    I just had my groceries delivered for the first time on Sunday and it was a pretty awesome experience. The shopper texted me as she shopped if they were out of something and it was really convenient since it was 2 degrees here and my husband was sick & I didn’t want to take the baby out. I will probably do it again- since I really don’t like grocery shopping haha!
