Patty Cakes

Alright ladies, it's finally here! No, I'm not just talking about Friday, I'm also talking about St. Patrick's Day 2012 [eve]! Appropriately, this week's Friday's Fancies theme is St. Patrick's Day.

On Tuesday I posted some cute outfit options to wear out to the local pub or to your neighborhood parade this weekend [see them here]. So, today's outfit is similar and can be worn on any weekend--holiday or not!
I picked a few items that can be mixed well to make other outfits. I also had to slip a few comfy pieces in since [for me, at least] St. Patty's day outfits are all day outfits!

How cute is this skirt mixed with those earrings?
I love those earrings and definitely wouldn't mind owning them!

Are you excited about tomorrow? I am beyond excited for this weekend because (almost) all of my favorite ladies are coming to town to celebrate!

P.s. Check out the rest of the Friday's Fancies outfits here!

March Madness, anyone?

Is anyone else enjoying a leisurely selection Sunday? Yes, I am a grown woman, but I am beyond excited about March Madness!! We have been glued to the games over the past few days, and thank goodness because we caught some good action!
My "lucky" shirt :)
Yup, we are this year's Big East tournament champions! I am so proud to be a Cardinal fan! Did you watch any basketball this weekend? How did your favorite teams do??

While we did spend a lot of time watching basketball, we also did a few other fun things. Friday we went out to the local farmer's market (which is large, and has events throughout the month)--they have a Meet'N 3 event each month that involves local music, vendors, meeting locals, and [the best part] local food trucks. We had been dying to try the Grilled Cheeserie, so we were happy we finally had a chance to sample the menu!
We tried the B&B. It had buttermilk cheedar, bacon,
and orange&cranberry marmalade!
We didn't try any of the other truck's offerings, because we had other plans for dinner, but we did check out the rest of the menus while we were there.
After our tasty appetizer, we headed further downtown for dinner. I had a craving for sushi [what's new??], so we went to a small local place, Wild Wasabi.
It was our first time there, but I hope we go back soon!
We also tried out a new [to me] coffee shop as well. It had a lot of character and reminded me of my favorite coffee shop in Louisville.
Yes, we were there at night. We're old and drink coffee
at all hours of the day now...
On Saturday we had a busy, busy day. The boy met early in the day with one of his best friends to plan one of their other friends' bachelor party. Of course I had to take advantage of the free time, so I snuck off and did a little thrifting. It was about 3 seconds from being an unsucessful trip, when right before I left, this beauty caught my eye......
J Crew single button blazer in poppy [I believe]
Isn't she pretty? At a whopping $7, she's my most recent favorite steal!

The weather was AMAZING this weekend, so we took advantage of it and spent Saturday afternoon at the part. After playing frisbee, football, and taking a hike we decided it was the perfect time for some Las Paletas.
Even though we went for popsicles, I couldn't resist getting some ice cream instead. Lucky me, the boy got a yummy pineapple blueberry popsicle, so I was able to try both!

Today was pretty much the perfect Sunday. We relaxed, went shopping, played lots of Draw Something (my user name is AshleyMP, come play!), and we were blessed with a UK wildcats loss! [Yes, that makes my weekend amazing x 1,000,000!]
Peanut butter, banana, and honey. The boy makes a mean sandwich!
Do you get it? Ha!
P.s. Proof that we drink coffee at all hours of the day...it's almost 9 on Sunday night and I'm drinking some from my favorite mug as I type this!
------------------
What did you do this weekend? I'm sure I tried enough new food for all of us, but did you have a chance to try anything new?

Weekend Update!

Well, it's Monday! We made it through another crazy, busy, football filled weekend : ) We had great weather and lots of fun. When the girls made it to town, it was straight to Jack's BBQ downtown for a very yummy lunch. Jack's was a tiny place with BIG taste! There was a good atmosphere and I will definitely go back for more BBQ! We hung out, shopped a little and then had a great time downtown. We had a few snags along the way, but I was happy to get to see everyone all at once.

My hair looks crazy, but here we are walking around downtown!
To top off an already fun day, Saturday afternoon the Cards upset West Virginia @ West Virginia! I was so happy and proud of them for pulling off the win. Go Cards!!
P.s. I can't believe Bama lost to LSU!
Sorry for the bad pictures, these two were taken with my iPhone.
