Ahhh this outfit is such a breath of fresh air to me. It signifies how our weather has been lately. Absolutely heavenly- sunny and warm and lovely, if you must know. And I apologize to all of you suffering from that polar vortex nonsense, or whatever. It sounds awful, it really does. Come fly to California and we can all prance around with our bare skin being kissed by the sun, yes? It’s good for the soul.
And now, so as to not make an entire post just writing about weather (you know what they say about talking about the weather- I don’t agree with “them” but you know), I’m reading “Gone Girl” right now. Borrowed on my ipad from the library (best feature everrrrr), and it is good. I’m waiting for the crazy twists though, that I’ve heard so much about. So far it’s just got me wrapped up in it, so I can only imagine when it gets really good. My afternoons have been spent lying in the backyard, tanning the bump, drinking copious amounts of water (as one does) and reading my book. I could get used to this.
What’s the weather like where you are?
Read any good books lately?
Anyone else read Gone Girl?

p.s. My husband started this awesome feature on his blog where he interviews a new blogger every week and picks their brain on all things blogging! :) This week is one of my faves, miss Shanna from Because Shanna Said So!
Lisa
The last book that I read was Still Missing by Chevy Stevens and I highly recommend it! :-)
Katie
WOW, that sounds intense!! I’ll have to check it out, if I can handle it! ;) I may need a break from intense books after this one though haha

I have yet to go out and tan!! It’ll be warm one day, but my backyard takes forever to warmup!! Well we had our front door open yesterday because it got nice and sunny, I’m ready for spring (even though I didn’t get my favorite weather – rain and cold) :). I’m still waiting to buy Gone Girl. But right now I’m reading The Hobbit :)
Katie
Well, I think it’s FINALLY supposed to rain today or tomorrow, so yayyy! God knows we need it! ;) And yay, I love the Hobbit!! So good!

Ugh, I just checked the weather and it’s 1 degree here. ONE. Not fair! I think we still have awhile before it’s tanning weather.. haha :) I loved Gone Girl! I keep meaning to put some of Gillian Flynn’s other books on hold from the library but haven’t gotten around to it… good reminder!
Katie
Oh, gosh. One degree. That’s insane to me! Stay warm!!!

Dee
You look so adorable! Denver is actually pretty warm all things considered. However we have snow on the ground so yeah we are all very jealous of your winter glow!! (and bare knees)
Katie
Aw thanks Dee!! I kind of wish it snowed here, every now and then. I mean, it’s just so pretty!

Courtney

You look great with that lip color and the make up, it really brings out your eyes. You look great, I think I’ve never seen you with lips other than nude shade. You should do it more often.
Katie
You’re right- I’ve always been kind of scared of rocking a bold lipstick! But thank you, I think I will do it more often! :)

Kelli Gilbert
love the outfit! and that book is soooo good! just you wait!
Katie
Ahhh I just started the second part, and OMG. It’s already crazy!

Jamie
Gone Girl was sooo good! I just read it a couple weeks ago. Major twists! Now I’m reading another one of her books, Dark Places. Also very captivating! You look great Katie! :)
Katie
Ahhh I know! I’ve already read a few twists- are there even more?! It’s definitely a page turner!! I’m loving it!
xo
Niki
You are the most adorable pregnant woman I know! I love this outfit!! And yay for Gone Girl! I’m dying to know what you think about it when you finish it! IT’s definitely a page turner, and the twists will come, don’t you worry! In other news, I’m freezing. But glad for you that you are having nice weather. :)
Katie
Ahhh Niki, you are the sweetest girl! :) I am more than halfway through, and am LOVING Gone Girl so far. I will definitely be writing more about it once I’m done and can give my full review!

Jamie
I keep forgetting that I want to read that book. I’ve heard such good things about it. I just finished reading “It’s Kind Of A Funny Story” & it was a very good book. Now I need something new to dive into!
Katie
I’m loving Gone Girl so far! It’s definitely intense and a page-turner!
xo
Katie
Gone Girl is a great book! Keep reading…it only gets better but it is kind of a dark twisted book. Easy read tho!
I just finished a book by Cheryl Strayed call Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail. It’s about a woman’s experience hiking the Pacific Crest Trail on her own following her mothers death and recent divorce. It is truly an inspiring story on how she forges ahead. I would highly recommend it.
Katie
Ahhhh I’m seriously on the edge of my seat now with Gone Girl! It’s SO crazy! Loving it. And oh my gosh, that book you just finished sounds amazing. I just added it to my list! Sounds like something that I could relate to. Thanks for the rec!!

Alyssa Barnett
You’ve got great style!
Katie
Aww thanks so much, Alyssa!! <3

we’re having the same kind of weather here :) i do feel sorta guilty being able to wear light layers when the rest of the world seems to be under snow.
Katie
I know, I feel guilty too. Kind of. ;)

Ashley
I check out library books on my iPad too and it’s the best thing ever! I read Gone Girl last year after being on the library waiting list forever and it was really good!
Katie
I love that we can do that! Such an awesome feature :)

Hi, I just came across your blog and wanted to say hi and I love your outfit! Cannot believe you are pregnant! You look gorgeous! Enjoy Gone Girl, I read it last year and it’s definitely an interesting read!
Katie
Aww you are so sweet!!! I’m glad you found my blog! :) I agree- the book is quite interesting! So different from anything else I’ve read- I’m liking it!

Katie
Oh, I am so jealous of bare legs weather! We are supposed to have another 6-9 inches of snow this weekend. Not too thrilled about that. You look adorable. Gone Girl was good but that ending just left me feeling so many different emotions. I think I almost felt angry because I hated the situation that it left them in. Does that make sense?
