Little Letters and a Friday Giveaway

glasses: c/o Firmoo (here)
sweater: forever 21
chambray: h&m
pants: forever 21
shoes: kohl's (here)



Dear Zack, going to Costco with you is seriously one of my favourite things to do. It was like a little Thursday afternoon date. Plus, the samples were amazing this time. Totally made up for last time when we were there an hour before closing and there were NO samples! No samples, at Costco, have you ever heard of such a thing?!

 Dear stair workout, you were so much fun today! I am surprised that I actually enjoyed running up and down stairs and doing crazy exercises in between (I did a push up with one leg in the air, guys! That was SO HARD). I love how strong I feel. You know what they say, strong is the new skinny. ;)

Dear Moonrise Kingdom, we watched you last night and I must say, I liked you. I liked you a lot. You were quirky and cute and silly and just the right amount of ridiculous for me to thoroughly enjoy you. Zack thought you were kinda weird, but I think that's the reason I liked you so much. Plus, I always had a crush on Edward Norton (I know- weird crush) so you know. And the part where Sam says "What kind of bird are you?" Ugh. Just, yes.

Dear lovely readers, it's Friday, and I figured, what better way to celebrate the Friday-ness of it than to have a fun giveaway?! Firmoo is generously offering a gift card for $30 toward glasses from their website! I already own 2 pairs of glasses from this company and I absolutely adore them. They are surprisingly (like, seriously, shockingly) cheap but of great quality and super stylish frames! I'm looking forward to getting a few more pairs, too, since I am unfortunate enough to rely on them to be able to see. Oh, bad eyesight. I just love companies like Firmoo for making me feel better about having terrible vision.

    1. I'm warning you, it is very very quirky, and not everyone's cup of tea! But I just adored it. The story is so sweet and the art direction in the movie is just amazing.

  7. You're so adorable! I love this look on you. I also received Firmoo glasses to review on le blog and I LOVE THEM! I need to post my review next week -- needed to make sure they stood up to the full week test before I made my decision on if I loved them or not.

    p.s. got my Shabby Apple dress in the mail finally and I CAN'T WAIT TO WEAR IT!!!!! I'm wearing it to my niece's baptism this Sunday and will for sure write a review and link back to you when I do. Thank you again so much for the gift card giveaway -- it really made my month :)

  13. Costco samples are the best!! Although I have to turn down about half of them since i don't eat meat. Tony gets annoyed because I must stop at EACH sample station just to see what they have. ;)

    2. YES, I am the same way. The day I found out that it was okay to take more than one sample was the happiest day ever. hahaha
