Friday Favorites

So I'm going to interrupt my Europe travels, to give you some of my favorite things this Friday! 

1. Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud Music Video

Okay first off, let me just say that I'm not a die-hard Ed Sheeran fan.  I do like some of his music but overall, he isn't my absolute favorite musician.  But let me tell you, I love the music video and the song!  I LOVE any type of dancing- especially ballet.  So when Ed's new music video is all dancing, and he is dancing, I was hooked.  

It is so cute and it was choreographed by Napoleon and Tabitha, one of my favorite choreographer duos from So You Think You Can Dance.   Check it out!

This song has been on repeat for a couple hours now... oops!

2.  Puffer Vests

As it starts to get cold in Chicago, my J.Crew Excursion Quilted Vest is a go-to!  I love how stylish and put together you look when it is on.

When I was little, I HATED the vests.  I thought they looked so weird and my arms always got cold! However, now I am hooked!
I love the quilting and the gold hardware.  I was a little nervous getting it in Bright Ivory, because you can't wear white after Labor Day.  Well its Ivory and I still wear white anyway.  Who cares! The vest is a must in Chicago and anywhere it is starting to get chilly!

3. How to Get Away with Murder

I actually really like this show!  It is on Thursday nights at 10/9c.  My roommate and I started watching it together when it premiered and now we are hooked.  I'm not sure how I feel about the set-up, switching back and forth between what happened three months ago and what is currently happening.  We'll see how the rest of the season turns out.

Last night was only the third episode, so I suggest starting soon if you want to start watching it!

4. Graeter's Ice Cream

So Graeter's is a Cincinnati thing and it is amazing!  I went to the grocery store yesterday and picked up some ice cream since it is now being sold in stores nationwide!

I got some Black Raspberry Chip Icecream and it is one of my favorites.  You're probably thinking, why are you telling me about ice cream.  But trust me.  It is definitely worth it!  All of the ice cream is delicious but I would suggest this one if it is your first time trying Graeter's Ice Cream.

And they are even planning on opening up a store in Chicago! Yay!  If you live in the Midwest- Southwestern Ohio/Indiana/Kentucky area, check out the Bakery part to Graeter's for the delicious coffee cakes, doughnuts and candy.  

5.  Bloglovin'

I LOVE Bloglovin'! It is a great way to organize all of the blogs you may read.  It is like Facebook for your blogs.  You add what blogs you follow and they show up on your "news feed".  You no longer have to go to each site and it is very organized.  Check it out!


Follow Me!

Do you like my blog? Let me know! I would love to hear any feedback you may have.  I'm open to any and all comments.  

What a great day

This post is from last Saturday- September 7, 2013. 

I have had such a good day today!  Some of my friends and I went downtown and shopped a little bit.  But the most exciting part was the Chipotle Cultivate Festival! The "festival" was all about Chipotle and their efforts towards a "world of more sustainable, wholesome food."  If you went to 4 out of 6 stations, you received a coupon for free Chipotle!  Who wouldn't want that?

There were so many people there! But fortunately, there was a lot of space to move around, so the only time it felt crowded was when we went close to the stage.

My friends and I went to see Walk the Moon.  They are a band that originally started in Cincinnati.  I have always heard about them from my friends, but this was the first time I had seen them.   AND they are very good live! I could not believe that this was the first time I had listened to most of their music.  I will definately be listening to it more!
