Let's get this party started

Good Morning, Ladies!

TGIF!

In the spirit of Friday and the weekend fun that comes along with the end of a workweek, I've decided to let you in on my go to cocktails when I'm out. 

Now, what I'm about to say may change your opinion about me, but I have to tell you...

............................

.................

I don't like beer. In fact, I hate it. Loathe it.

There, I said it.

Everyone always tried to tell me "oh, you'll like it when you get to college, it's cheap". Soooooo not the case! I'm 1000x's more willing to spend the money on a drink I'll actually like instead of trying to make it through one I know I already don't like!

What gave me the idea for this fabulous topic was the Chocolate Pudding Shots I tried on NYE.  They. were. freaking. awesome. Seriously.

Don't they just look delicious?! (You can click on the link above for the recipe, you just have to scroll down past the jello shots to get to it!)

Now onto my favorite bar drinks:

1.Amaretto Sour

2.Everyone's go-to drink,  Vodka Lemonade

3.Long Island Iced Tea

4.Malibu and Lemonade (try it, it's delicious!)

5. UV Blue and Sprite

And finally, my newest favorite

6. Pinnacle Whipped Vodka and Root Beer (Tastes like a Root Beer Float! Seriously!)

So that's it, Ladies. Clearly I'm all about the sweeter tasting drinks and definitely do not like to taste the alcohol in them.  I'm not even embarrassed to admit I'm such a sissy drinker ;) Hopefully I've introduced you all to something new to try (think: Pudding Shots & Root Beer Floats) this weekend! I hope you all have a fabulous one :)

And because I love LOLcats........

Good thing it's Friday!

Pink Kisses & Wishes,

Dad's Weekend 2011 : Weekend Recap

Hello Ladies & Happy Tuesday!

How about a little weekend recap?
Well this weekend was Dad's weekend at U of I and this girl was lucky enough to have her grandpa come down for a little visit.

Ladies, meet Joe.

 (These are our pictures from last year, excuse the bad angle, it's all the pictures we could recover from the camera:( & the other girl/dad pair is my pledge baby, Katie and her dad Jim!)


Usually Joe just comes down for Saturday- Sunday and we go shopping, grab dinner, go out with some of the other girls in my sorority that evening, and eat brunch at the Chi-O house in the morning. It's always fun and you guys know I love shopping:) I swear I get it from him! Ha.

Last year for Dad's Weekend I got these
  Bailey UGG boots in Black

And this
A Cream Peacoat from Kohls with cute scarf/gloves


I had no idea what was in store for this year since I just bought a new coat for myself last week (it was $40, how could I not get it?!) and I wasn't disappointed when we went shopping for these babies...






Yepp, those are the same ones from my Christmas List! Sooo excited for them to come in the mail! (We had to order them to store because they didn't have this style in the kids sizes)

But other than that, we went out to dinner at an amazing steakhouse down here and enjoyed a little football.  Unfortunately the Illini couldn't pull it out and we lost 31-14 :( But it's ok because Notre Dame kicked ass and won against Maryland 45-21! Go Irish!

Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures this weekend, but you can see we still had a ton of fun;)
