I got all stressed out and dramatic about leaving that SD card in Roanoke, so my parents, knowing how much my blog means to me, went out of their way to go home and get it, then bring it to their office as soon as possible and have the photos emailed to me. What wonderful people.

This afternoon, I started going through all of them and realized that I have not even one photo of either of my parents from this weekend. What a terrible daughter! I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. Thank you for everything you do for me. How I love you!

Any holiday at home with my family is just magical. This was no different.

The dishes we use for Easter are my favorites.

Hope you had a joyful holiday weekend! Best wishes for a happy Easter season.

I have too much in my closet. Pair a love for shopping with absolutely no desire to ever part with old clothes because "I might wear them again," and you've got yourself a wardrobe full of new things you haven't worn yet and hidden old things that you haven't worn since high school. Most days, this is bad. Other days, when you find pink pants that you forgot you had, it's not so bad. I like to call it Shopping In My Closet, and I find that it makes me feel thrifty. And extra-cute.

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

Necklace: J.Crew

Shirt: J.Crew

Belt: Thrifted

Pants: GAP

I'm seriously thinking about wearing my hair like this all spring and summer long. It's perfect and I love it.

This ring is another something I've had forever and sometimes forget about. I bought it for myself on a cruise one summer.

The bracelet was made lovingly for me by my friend, Whitney.

Blush: Clinique Blushing Blush Powder Blush in 115: Smoldering Plum

Lip Gloss: Victoria's Secret Lip Gloss in Minx

I'm on a mission not to buy anything new until I have documented at least most of what's in my closet.

Here's to more What I Wore posts!

I've kept myself pretty busy this week. Warmer temperatures and a little sunlight will do that.

I've gone running, spent a few afternoons on the patio of my favorite local coffee shop, tackled some more of my thesis, packed up a few winter things, and still made it to bed early almost every night. That extra light we get works like magic.

New books from Alderman Library.

Iced pistachio milk latte. I'm not kidding.

Bare legs, windows down on the way home from work.

Now I'm off to the lake to hang out with my parents, see The Hunger Games, and a few other things.

What are your plans? Wishing you a warm and sunny weekend!
