This is an actual conversation that took place between my husband and I whilst watching Miss Universe last week. Yes, we watched Miss Universe. Didn’t you?!
Katie: Wait.. so Miss Universe is after Miss USA, but what’s after Miss America?
Zack: Miss… World?
Katie: Miss World?!
Zack: Yeah… What else is there? Miss Earth??
We are obviously always discussing the pressing matters of the world, you understand. Or, in this case, of the earth. ha. ha. ha.
In other news, all this weekend is BOGO Free holiday drinks at Starbucks between 2-5pm. Just thought I’d throw that one out there. We naturally went yesterday and I am already planning on “craving” a Peppermint Mocha every day this weekend. Because well. It’s BOGO Free. Duh. Speaking of Peppermint Mochas, I’ve never tried crack (shocker!) but I’m assuming it tastes just like a Peppermint Mocha, no?
That purse up there is from Sammydress, which yeah upon first glance is a suuuuper shady looking website. But really, it’s my new favourite purse. It was like really ridiculously cheap, and yes, this means the quality is not top-notch by any means, but it’s cute, it holds my DSLR camera perfectly, and I like it. A lot. And if it breaks in a few months? Well, heck, the price was right. ;)
Did you watch Miss Universe?
What’s your favourite purse look like?
Are you planning a trip to Starbucks this weekend? Please say yes.

i had no idea about the starbucks BOGO thing!! thanks for the heads up! I love that convo, that sounds like something Michael and I would talk about.
Haha our conversations are usually the most ridiculous things everrr. Too funny.
xo
love your ensemble. just bought a chambray shirt and can’t wait to rock it :)
i have 2 favorite handbags. i don’t think either of them are still made though. at least not in the same colors. they’re both super soft, super nice leather bags that i got separately for over half off each because i waited and waited and window shopped and waited haha until they were on super sale.
lucky brand abbey road – the bag i’m currently using!

i love handbags :)
YAY for chambray!! I have three now :) Oops! And props to you for waiting for a sale! My dad would always tell me “everything goes on sale!” and so it’s kind of my motto… for moooost of the time. Although sometimes there are things that will never go on sale, and thus that is when some splurging is in order! ;) Love both of those bags- super cute!!

I love the peppermint mocha! It is like Christmas in a cup! Also…. random… but I just met the current Miss World Oceania. Which is a sub-pageant of Miss World.
YES it is SO Christmas in a cup! Whattt that is super random that you met her! Haha so cool :)
xo
I can’t agree more, crack simple MUST taste like Peppermint Mocha. I try making them myself at home and getting the Coffee Mate creamer, but it’s not the same!

GIRL. I JUST bought Coffee Mate PM creamer last night and am currently drinking it, no joke. It’s delicious, but you’re right. Nothing beats Starbucks’ Peppermint Mocha!
xo
It gets me through the months when I can’t get the real thing, but there’s just no contest!
Jamie @ The Growing Up Diaries
Agreed!! Plus, we would go broke if we bought one from Sbucks every single day, even though I totally could do that and never get sick of it!
xo
you guys are too funny. love it! :)
Haha thanks girl. We’re crazy ;)
xo
I love those random conversations with that other half that make total sense to you but to someone else it’s just crazy talk lol.
I am a purse addict. It’s sort of bad. I’m dying over a lot of Targets new “satchel handbags” right now!!
& OF COURSE starbucks is on the agenda ;)
PS I never heard of thredup until I found your blog and I’m loving it!
That’s like allll of our conversations! haha and omg what. Target? Satchels? Ahhhh need to seeee them!!! And p.s. I’m so glad you love thredup! Isn’t it the BEST?!
xo
You two are awesome. :)
Aww :) Thanks, Jen. You always make me smile!

Aww yeah, free drinks are the best! I love when Starbucks does it :) I go kind of crazy haha

I actually just laughed outloud at your crack comment! But methinks I need to get my butt over to Starbucks and get a couple peppermint mochas! Only I need to figure out where the closest one is… Err, suburban dilemmas! Hopefully the deal is still going on Saturday when I’m in the city! ;)
YES, get to Starbs and get those pepp mochas, girl! Haha we literally live within a 5 minute radius of three different Starbucks. It’s ridiculous, to say the least. And the deal is going through Sunday, so you’re good! :)

It is so funny when I try to answer a question about the ways I do something in my life, I always feel that I have to start with: it all depends which country I am living in…
As I am enjoying my tower as a princess, here in our five star hotel, I have no need for purses. I have a mini diaper bag witth owls but that is not even mine… I like to think that Zoárd is the owner of that. :P
Before, I had two big bags. I prefer them BIG. One was a fancy Samsonite. Sounds like an oxymoron?! The other one is a luxurious Furla hand bag. As you can tell, I am not a hand bag addict.
I did not watch Miss Universe, all the “watching” my husband and I are doing involves The Mindy Project or Modern Family.
This island, we live on, actually has a Starbucks. The only flavored latte they offer is salted caramel, which is quite nice.

I prefer my bags big, too!! The more they can fit in them, the better! I especially foresee the need for that for moms! :) I looove Mindy! And never seen Modern Family, but everyone seems to like it!
xo
I went to Starbucks this morning…and I’m going again this afternoon with a friend. That. NEVER. happens. YAY!
You are my hero.

I love that bag! I had just found the Sammy site a few days before reading this post and, yes it looks totally shady! Have you ordered anything else from them? Do you pay shipping per item?

Seriously in love with peppermint mochas!
Thanks for the suggestion!!
Right?! I’m having like one a day. It’s ridiculous.
