Thoughts For Friday
It has been awhile since I did a Thoughts for Friday post, so here is your daily dose of random this lovely first Friday in November.
We had a super fabulous Halloween last night. Sterling is at such a fun age he loves everything about Halloween and who doesn't love all the candy?? I need to be cut off I ate so many Twix yesterday.
I am super flattered because Carolina Style Magazine named me one of The Carolina's top bloggers of 2013.

The light finally arrived for our nursery and I am smitten with it. We installed it this week, now just to find a few replacement bulbs because several were broke while trying to hang this beauty.
Pretty certain these Carne Asada Nachos will be made this weekend. How amazing do they look?
I am so excited about this book that was just released by Aerin Lauder. I love her and her style. It is definitley on my Christmas List!
Piperlime is having a great sale right now, like seriously good prices. I snagged this dress to save for next Summer. Check out the sale HERE. With my rewards and all I ended up getting this dress for $30!
Lastly, I am officially full term this weekend. 37 weeks!! This pregnancy has flown by! Normally I don't do full on bare belly shots but I wanted to document the size of this belly, that and the fact I really have no belly button anymore. Things are about to get real.
Happy Weekend!

Leggings: Two Must have Pairs for Fall.
Leggings you either love em or hate em and I absolutely love them. First and foremost they are comfortable which is always nice. Plus I think they make for a really cute fall outfit. A few of my favorite leggings outfits (now if only my legs looked like Blake's):
I recently found two pairs of leggings that I am smitten with and I know you will be too! I have found you don't want leggings that are too loose and have no structure that is just plain unflattering. Both of these leggings fit like a glove. So far they are the best leggings, I have tried but I am always open to suggestions! Since I am 9 months pregnant I won't scar your eyes with pictures of me in the leggings but just trust me they are amazing. Both are a little on the pricey side for leggings but I swear they are worth every penny!
These are great everyday leggings, they suck you and are so flattering. I love the waist band at the top it really sucks you in and flattens out your tummy. They run true to size, I ordered a size small.
They are a cotton blend and super comfortable.

I have wanted a pair of coated leggings forever and these came highly recommended. They are super comfortable, I am actually able to still wear them pregnant. They come in black, espresso, and merlot. I went with classic black, and they also run true to size I have a size small. They don't have quite as much structure as the Spanx but I still found them very flattering. Great for a dressier pair of leggings.
Choosing tops to go with leggings can sometimes be a struggle, I rounded up a few of my choices. The key is to find tops that hit at your hips or a touch longer. I love sweaters or loose blouses with leggings.

I am living in leggings this last month of my pregnancy so I have to sing their praises!

When a Pothole Can Be Beautiful
As I live in the wilds of the beautiful Northumberland National Park I have to put up with roads that are less than ideal. This last year left us with an unbelievable amount of potholes that have only recently been filled. Wish I'd seen this idea beforehand.
