Striped Blazer + Random Morning Ramblings

Cece shared this genius post last week. You can read it here if you haven't already.

I decided I might as well post the outfit here. No reason to let the pictures go to waste because it's not often that I can convince Sean to click, click, click.

I think it was this day that actually began my pneumonia. I promise that will be the last time I mention pneumonia again. And hopefully the last time you see snow in the background until December.

Pretend that you don't notice my hair. The wind was blowing something fierce that day.

Now for some random chit-chat.

The weather has been so nice the last couple of days. Of course today it decided to go back down and bring some rain.

I usually would be having some serious allergy issues around this time but nothing. I don’t want to say “yet” because I don’t want to jinx myself. I guess it has to do with the fact that we had snow fall just last week. Or maybe, just maybe, age is being kind to me.

My sister isn’t down with me sharing my gorgeous niece on the Internet, but y’all, I’m obsessed. She is gorgeous. I seriously kiss my phone screen every time I get a new picture. I can’t wait until May to see and go all paparazzi on her. She is going to think that a camera is my face.

Sean and I have been talking about trips to take this year. We’re thinking Chicago either July or August and somewhere else in October. But for the life of us, we can’t come up with anything. We were thinking Mexico but we’ve already done that. Any ideas? We’re thinking beach, all inclusive and not too crazy expensive, ya know, a gal has to shop for vacations.

After Easter, I kinda, no I did, go crazy and buy lots of Starburst Jelly Beans. The only problem is that I still have tons of bags left. Because of this I feel like I have to eat it all that way I can start fresh. So much for my plans to detox this week. I need to remember that summer is around the corner and that I like skirts and tank tops. But throwing away my precious jelly beans or sharing them feels so wrong.

I had to fire someone on Monday. And I didn’t feel bad. Am I horrible?

Happy Wednesday! Yeah. I know. What was so happy about that last line? I am horrible.

  1. I thought that was a new profile photo I spotted Faith but I didn't want to tell you how much it rocked just in case it had been uploaded before, you look great in the striped blazer. I like the sounds of Starburst jelly beans to be honest and your figure is great as it is so try not to feel too guilty! Those holiday plan do sound amazing too!

  2. You should model...seriously! Then I can say I have a model friend... lol.
    Sorry you had to fire someone...if you didn't feel bad, then odds are they deserved it. Happy Wednesday!

  3. Another super cute outfit!! And I love those shoes!

    I love Chicago, so jealous y'all are going!! I wish I could pack up and move there, but I'm such a chicken! Ha!

    I saw some pretty cheap all-in-inclusive deals on Groupon and Travelzoo the other day for Jamaica and DR, if you don't want to go to Mexico...

  4. LOL @ not feeling horrible able firing someone. No doubt they deserved it!

    As for vacation spots, have you done a cruise? You might enjoy doing a Caribbean cruise where you visit multiple Islands. Its all inclusive and loads of fun.
    Not sure if you like being on water though (some people done) but its fun!

  5. You look fantastic, Faith!!! Love that blazer ;)

    If you come to Chicago, please, please, please eat at Lou Malnati's Pizzeria.

    It's my favorite restaurant <3

  6. haha! I am right there with you on the jellybean front! I have at least a dozen bags at our house. thankfully over the past couple months I have developed some self control and limit myself to 1 - 2 handfuls a day. SO they will last ALL year. It's about portion control right?!=)

  7. First let me say, Love Chicago
    and second.. don't feel bad - some people deserve to be let go -
    the same way I get joy sometimes when I have to lock someone up. Its our job... someone has to like it. Why not let it be you! LOL.

    Feel bad for the circumstance but if they "earned" their being let go, then flip hair and keep it moving as I say.

  8. you are so gorgeous faith.
    i love your hair so much, it is sooo fun!
    and i think you should go to san fran, but maybe im biased ;)

    i also have been thinking about a vacation. ryan and i have never had a real vacation, and i know we probably won't get one for at least a year, but i did start dreaming of where we could go. haha. i'm crazy.

  9. That outfit is super cute! Chicago is a great choice! I'm slightly afraid of cruises now but the ones I went on were fun. Puerto Rico or the Dominican Republic are on my list of places that seem fun to visit as well!

  10. Love this outfit! So cute! :) And I did the same exact thing with jelly beans. Only I bought one bag of every single variety. Crap. HAHA!

  12. I love those shots!! You look so cute. I still can't believe you came down with pneumonia after taking them!! I went a little crazy with the Starburst jelly beans myself after Easter. They are just so good!! Now...I'm juicing it.

    ReplyDelete
  13. You could definitely model. You are gorgeous!

    Yay to hoping there will be no more snow!! And yay for vacations. Derek and I were just talking about a quick trip to Chicago in May! I lovvvveeee planning vacations! What about a Dominican Republic all inclusive. Or key west vacation? Either sounds perfect to me!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I saw it on Cece's post first. Love the blazer! And now Ima find one and dent my pocket...lol. You look great as always!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Lovin' the fit! Especially the blazer. I need some blazers in my life. Ughhh. Oh & Starburst jelly beans are addicting! :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. You look gorgeous!!! And I LOVE that peplum top...so pretty! You look skinny minny, too..can't even tell you've been eating all those Starburst Jellybeans :). I bought a crapton of Easter candy for 70% off at Target yesterday and am kindof regreting it...but who can rest 20 cent Cadbury and Reeses Eggs?

    I can’t wait until May to see and go all paparazzi on her. She is going to think that a camera is my face. -I laughed so hard at this. I bet she is beautiful, all the girls in your family are! Can't wait to see all the paparazzi pictures you take :)

    As far as a vacay, I don't have much to throw in but I do know that Z and I have talked of a Chicago trip too...wish we could be there at the same time! We've also talked about a cruise, since with all the Carnival drama they've gone down in price. Maybe you and Sean could take a cruise? Have you ever been on one??

  17. Seriously, you are like my style icon. I love everything you put together!

    I got to fire someone once - it was kind of thrilling. I didn't feel bad either. I don't know what that says about me, but the girl was a MORON. Just saying. (o:

  18. Need that blazer and necklace in my life. Stat.
    Do.not.throw.the.jelly.beans.away. Those things are seasonal! Once your stash is gone you have to wait until NEXT YEAR to stock up again. I'm slowly pecking away at my remaining jelly beans. I'll be so sad when they're all gone. :(

  19. LOOOOOOOOVE this blazer, Faith! You look bomb in it!

  26. Come to Atlanta! Please please PUH-lease! It's not the beach, it's not all inclusive but it is definitely fun!

    You should model! You'd definitely be the PERFECT Colgate model, your smile is gorgeous!

  27. I love the striped blazer, you look great in it!

    Our weather has been CRAZY. One day we are grilling outside and the next I'm sitting inside shivering with the heater on. Dumb.

    I really need to see more pictures of your niece! I just know that she is so gorgeous!

    I was proud of myself, I didn't buy one single piece of Easter candy. We are still fully stocked from Valentines! But, just so you know, you look great and apparently the candy isn't your worst enemy, can't even tell you have had any!

    As far as trips go, Chicago sounds so fun! I have always wanted to go there. I'm with Brit, maybe a cruise too? Or Denver? : )

  28. Hello, Miss Fashion Blogger!! I'm diggin' all of those pictures. Seriously. And, the wind in the hair ;-)

    I wish we could see your cute lil' niece, but def respect your sissy's wishes. I'm so happy my sister doesn't mind me showing off my little nephew. I'd die if she didn't. Ha-ha.

    Please pack me in your suitcase whenever y'all decide to go. Please? Thank you :)

  29. Such a cute outfit. I love striped blazers! Oh and I'd give anything for your hair. I love it!

    Our weather has been amazing lately. Tomorrow we are supposed to get severe storms and rain though. That doesn't make me happy. I hate storms!

    I've been in trip planning mode too. Oh how I love Summer!

  30. Your outfit is cute and your hair is fab!

  31. LOVE the outfit. :)

    I'm eating all the current sweet stuff we have in our house right now, so I'm not tempted later. Crazy logic? Absolutely. lol But I refuse to buy more for a while. And sometimes, you have to just throw it away so you won't eat it. I've done that multiple times. Especially when my Mom gives me candy because I'm losing weight. lol

    Ryan and I are thinking of going somewhere in October as well, but we'll probably do Tennessee. It's a standard go to for us, but we love it and haven't been in a few years. Though I really want to go back up to Wisconsin or try somewhere new.

  34. Love these pictures, Faith. That blazer looks great. I've been wanting to get one for awhile so I'll definitely have to check out old navy.

  35. You can send some of those jelly beans my way please and thanks!

    I guess if the person really deserved it (or was incredibly nasty) it would have been a relief for lots of people that s/he now has the opportunity to find something elsewhere....

    ReplyDelete
  36. if you need someone to help you eat those jelly beans mail me a few bags. or better yet buy me a plane ticket and we can eat them together :-)

  42. Go ahead with your bad self. You totally pose like a legit style blogger. Hello model Faith.

    Cancun is an awesome place at a reasonable price but it's in Mexico so I don't know if you'll be up for it.

  43. Loving the hair, outfit and the shoes. I am longing for a vacation also I need some beach time asap have you been to Playa Del Carmen? I was so tempted to by the 75% off start-burst at Walgreen the other day. I passed them up since I eat about 15 reese and ton of jelly beans a few day prior.

  44. This may very well be my favorite of your outfits. Your hair your outfit those shoes, sheesh you look hot! As for vacations Jamaica, Belize, Costa Rica and Brazil are all countries I've been to and loved. Have a great weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Love the blazer! I have the exact one in black & white!

    Vacation...hmmm... maybe you should, nah! I'm just saying that perhaps...ok nope. St. Lucia maybe??? I think there's a Sandals there ;) but there is also two Sandals here. One in the Exuma Islands & one in Nassau. I think the Exuma islands are FAR MORE GORGE than Nassau. #ijs ...nevermind the fact that I live in Nassau *whistles*

    Should you feel horrible? Depends on the reason for dismissal. If it was for cause then heck no! If the person just wasn't working out then um...ahhhh...girl I never understand how we HR folks deal!

    Have a beautiful weekend.
