I have entered to win a handbag from Foley + Corinna. I have come to really love their style over the past week. The fact that I am updating my closet and replacing all of my staple pieces and getting rid of everything that I haven't worn recently is part to blame. I am on a shopping kick and hope to get all the latest styles and have some unique pieces that no one else has.
If you want to enter the contest go to breakfastatsaks.blogspot.com to learn more.
P.S. Runway rundown is one of my new favorite sites and I can see myself spending way too much time on there in the next few days. Thank goodness the weekend is here.

Cook Book
One of my dear friends and zisters is getting married in May and we are creating a cook book for her as part of the lingerie party (it's a really cute idea, ask if you want to learn more). As I have been working on this all I want to do is becoming domestic and stay at home all day cooking, cleaning and crafting. At some point this is going to get me into trouble. Luckily I am not married or engaged and my boy friend lives about 30 minutes away, so this keeps me from cooking every spare moment that I have. Another plus is that I don't want to spend the money on buying the kitchen wares to cook. I have some but I promise you it is not enough to cook a decent meal without having to get very creative.
I will tell you that I am getting crafty, as I bought a new piece of furniture last week and have been trying to figure out what decorations are necessary to make it as cute as possible. I am almost confident that I have figured out what it is lacking and come tomorrow it will be complete. Only one more piece to buy and I promise I will put up pictures when it is done.
I did spend the past two nights working on a picture frame that I received for Christmas. I know it is February and most people would have gotten to it long ago but I have been busy and trying to get stuff done within a reasonable time frame. This particular project just happened to get pushed back. I did however finally get to it and let me say it looks amazing. I spent hours on Wednesday night finding pictures and editing them to make it look perfect. Yesterday I picked up the pictures and the first thing I did when I got home was put them in it and let me tell you that I am so happy that it is finally done. I will post a picture as soon as I have it hanging on my wall, something that I had planned on doing last night but once again it got pushed back. But it will be on my wall tonight (or tomorrow morning) as the people who gave me the frame are coming in town and I want them to see it.
But back to the cookbook... I have loved every minute of making it and wish that I was a good enough writer to become an author and actually write for a living. Maybe in my next life.

Snow Days
Snow days... I thought those were just for kids?
Guess not.
As much as I hate to say it, the working world has not been too bad these past two weeks. A two day work week last week and then a mid-week break today. I honestly can't complain.
Other than the boredom that started to set in last week towards the end of day two of not seeing anyone, I have been completely happy to stay in bed and lounge around my apartment. I have been pretty productive as well, cleaning the place and organizing my closet. I have a little more to do to finish my list, but hey it's not as long as when I started out.
Well time to be productive for the day...meaning I am going to get out of bed and do something, like play with Thumper.
