Weekend Shenanigans: Besties Edition

Whenever I sit down to write these posts on Monday mornings, I always wish that I had taken more pictures throughout the weekend. Oops.

After a crazy week last week, I couldn't have been more thankful to have the weekend off. The timing was perfect, and I was so excited to be able to coordinate a bestie weekend revolving around Hokie Football, serious girl time, and entirely too much vodka.

We met in Greenwich on Friday night, picked up some dinner, and were in bed so early (#grandmastatus) knowing that we had a long day (aka HUGE FOOTBALL GAME) ahead of us. Early Saturday morning we had bottomless coffee, and ran errands until my bank account was seriously hurting (and I finally snagged this sweater at 10% off)! I even made it home with a brand new TV for my bedroom, and have finally been able to organize the disaster that was my room.

Saturday afternoon we baked these Cookies & Cream Rice Krispie Treats for the game. They are amazeballs, and actually turned out just like the picture on Pinterest;

Yum.

By the 7pm kickoff, we were more than anxious and ready for the game to begin. The weather in Miami looked like a typical Blacksburg day, and we knew that it would work to our advantage. There was so much screaming and yelling at the TV, but my Hokies played the best game of the season. The defense was practically flawless, and for the first time in a long, long, long time, so was our offense. No turnovers. No huge mistakes. I haven't been this happy with our performance in a while! We ate way too much pizza, drank way too many fruity drinks, and were utterly high on life by the time the game clock hit zero.

I love college football.

We topped off our night by snuggling in my bed watching replays from the game.
Does anyone else do that? Please, someone reassure me that this is normal behavior...

What did you do this weekend!?

This is my absolute favorite time of the year. The days are crisp, nights are chilly, and I just get to excited to gear up for the holiday season. There are so many things to look forward to, and all of that just makes me so darn happy!

I haven't been to the movies in almost 6 months. Literally. On Tuesday I saw Enough Said. It was adorable! I always forget just how much I love going to the movies until I get there. Usually when I watch movies at home, I'm passed out halfway through! This one was definitely a winner, and I highly recommend it!

I have been working at our Greenwich location a few days this week and it has been so much fun to see how other stores run their business, and what things I can bring back to my store to make us more successful. Also, Greenwich Ave has a Chipotle, so I am beyond excited to be eating it for lunch. Good thing I don't work here full time, I'd turn into a giant burrito!

The Hokies have quite possibly the biggest game of the year this weekend, and I am kind of terrified. This season hasn't quite turned out like I had expected (to be honest, we were a lot better than I predicted, until we played Duke and Boston College), but I have not been this nervous for a game all season! Josie is even coming up for the weekend so we can watch the game together and possibly indulge in too many Margaritas depending on which way the score goes...

I just love this quote. Doesn't it just make you smile?

Five on Friday.

This week has definitely been a roller coaster, but I can certainly think of 5 fantastic things to share with you on this freezing Friday morning (other than the frost on the ground...)

I finally got my promotion! Letter is signed, sealed, and ready to be delivered! I am so excited to see where this takes me, and what opportunities follow!

On my off-day yesterday, I started binge watching Chicago Fire. I had watched an episode on the plane on the way home from Punta Cana and instantly fell in love. I had forgotten about it until yesterday afternoon, and now I'm afraid that for the next few weeks, I'll be glued to the OnDemand Menu catching up!

The Zac Brown Band was incredible on Sunday night. Absolutely incredible. Their harmonies and their energy made the show unstoppable. The entertainment factor was boosted even higher when they played Enter Sandman. I think that it's a sign of a fantastic football season ahead (we wont mention the score on Saturday night...)

I'm excitedly planning festivities for my trip to North Carolina next weekend! Gameday outfit has been purchased, and now I need some fabulous tailgate recipes, cute accessories, and a liver that will hopefully not let me down. It has been almost two years since I've seen my Hokies play live, and I cannot wait to see friends and family at the game!

The temperatures have dropped (and so has the humidity, thank God), and I'm SO excited to break out the riding boots and chunky sweaters soon! I'm sure it is only a matter of time before I'm longing for Callahan Shorts and flip flops, but for now, all I can think about is a cashmere sweater, my Frye boots, and a piping hot Pumpkin Spice Latte!

Link up with April and share your favorite things from this week!
