Ramblings:

  • Loving rainy Mondays: This is such a weird rambling- but I realized this week how much I love rainy Mondays!! There's something about the weather being crappy on the start of the work week after really nice weather over the weekend that just makes me want to focus so much more on work and being productive.  Also - some of you might remember that I had to work Saturdays and Sundays for my first four months at my job, and Mondays used to be my day off. I swear- it used to rain SO often on Mondays! I had maybe three nice days off in four months. Anyways- now that I do work on Mondays, I always smile to myself when it rains and am thankful that I had the day before off instead! 😉 Also... not sure why so many Mondays have been rainy since I moved to Vermont, but I don't hate it. Rain is always better than snow! 
  • Best new podcast: I've been getting more and more into podcasts lately. I'll try and share a blog post soon with my favorites! There's a lot that I keep up with sporadically, but it's rare that I find one that I categorize as a "drop everything must binge listen now." Well- I found one like that over this weekend! It's called Dirty John, and is produced by The Los Angeles Times. If you liked Serial, you will LOVE this podcast! I don't want to spoil any of it, so all I'll say is that a middle aged woman meets a man online on a dating website... and he isn't everything he seems. Listen to this now- I think this is going to be the next big thing in podcasts! 
  • Fall TV update: My last favorite Fall TV show premieres this Friday night- Jane the Virgin Season Four on the CW! (The CW did all of their premieres this week.) So far Fall TV has been just as great as I anticipated, and I'm really enjoying all of my favorite shows and new ones! If you missed my 2017 Fall TV Guide post- check it out here


Purchases:

  • Another flight! So excited to have TWO trips to look forward to this holiday season! While my New Years' trip will be a personal one to visit a high school friend... this December trip is one that is especially exciting for Southern Belle in Training. 😉 That's all I'm going to say for now, but I'm super excited!
  • So I actually was a terrible person and accidentally lost my main credit card last week... thankfully I reported it before any fraud happened, but this is the card that I do most shopping/weekly purchases on, so no shopping for me this week! 


Wishlist:

  • Okay I think every blogger and their mother had this dress in the tank version... which honestly I wasn't as crazy about. But I think the long sleeve version is cuter, and also way more practical for Vermont winter! I can totally see myself wearing this with boots, tights, and a vest.
  • This sweater screams "Casual Friday" at work! 
  • Since I lost my credit card last week, of course I've been unfairly blaming it on my wallet and thinking I need a new one! (Even though it totally wasn't my wallet's fault...) How cute is this one though? 
  • This dress is just GORGEOUS! I think it could say anything from "job interview" to "date night!"



On the blog this week:


     Thanks so much as always for reading, enjoy the rest of the week!
