Morning Linkage: Cup 25

First “Morning Linkage” of the new year and I chose Saturday, January 5, 2013 to do it!  There’s really no method to my madness, I’m just living, breathing and shopping people…don’t mind me. Did anyone make a “New Year, New Me Resolution”?  I did, well kind of, I promised myself I’d drink more H2O. My body will definitely thank me.

Would you freak out if I said “Can you believe the first week in January is already over?” HA! I promise I won’t get too annoying today but seriously…it’ll be February before you know it! Then March cough cough March 4th to be exact cough my birthday cough cough.  I really want to spend this years birthday in Vegas so if you know of any great places to sleep/eat/party/gamble…email me [email protected] or find me on “The Twitta” @CurvesAndCoffee!

Moving right along…grab your cup of java and let’s get to these links, shall we?!

Curves And Coffee’s Most Memorable Moments of 2012

Can you believe there’s only a few more hours left in 2012?! Cray cray, right?!  Well, tonight, we’re gonna party like it’s 1999! I’m kidding but we will pop bottles and kiss strangers at midnight…by stranger I mean, your s/o or your cat or maybe even your puppy!

Since today is all about reminiscing the days of the year, I figured I’d explore my favorite posts from this year. It only seems right. So let’s have little fun and take a look at my three favorite and most exciting posts!

3…2…1…

1.  Any of the fashion week posts!  I enjoyed waking up at 4am to watch live shows from Paris on my laptop. My favorite show would have to be Burberry or Fendi …can’t decide which one I like best so you can be the judge.

                                                  Fendi                                           Burberry

2.  Halloween Mani: “There Will Be Blood” this was a fun mani to do because it was the first one that I was able to do a DIY post and include each step as I finished.  Plus, the finished product was amazeballs!! Got sooo many compliments.  Hope you guys liked it because it was fun to do!

3.  The first Polyvore outfit post.  Did I tell you, it took me hours to complete those outfit boards?! HOURS!  I really don’t know how everyone else makes those post look so easy and effortless lol I’m missing something.  Then again, I’m pretty indecisive so I’ll add a different bag every ten minutes.  It was all worth it in the end…the tweet and post was retweeted by Botkier on Twitter!! Several times!  My first brand acknowledgement…ah-mazing!

That’s it!  Those are my most memorable blog moments on Curves and Coffee!  I’m hoping to have many many more as 2013 goes on.  You guys have made this the most exciting five months of my life and I’m so glad to share with you.  Thank you for visiting and taking the time out to read and keep browsing.

Have a save and happy new year and remember to be stylish!

Morning Linkage: Cup 23

Good morning stylish sweets!!

Slowly but definitely surely getting back into the swing of regular life sans the sadness.  This was a trippy week…did I tell you guys how I won Ebay auction(s) that I totally forgot I even put bids on?!  Yea…trippy.  LOL all is good and I shall enjoy my spoils when they arrive.  Think I’m gonna start selling stuff…seriously need to make more room in my shoe closet, things are getting out of hand in there. Plus, I might be moving so downsizing should start now!  That’s a whole different story for another day.

Anywho…

Hump Day Haircut

Good afternoon stylish sweets!!

Hope your holiday/turkey day/rest day/whatever you had the previous week!  Mine was absolutely delightful!  I was able to get a haircut (if you follow me on Twitter, you saw the hair falling pics), enjoyed and cried at the Detroit Lions football game during that awful call and horrendous overtime loss.  Oh and I can’t forget the yummy food we cooked and stuffed our faces with…pretty sure I gained about 16 pounds during this one week LOL!  Back to the diet drawing board.

Anywho, while I was away from blogging this week, I managed to do a little bit of shopping (not a lot like I wanted to because a girl has bills and a vacation to save for!) and NO, I did NOT participate in Black Friday.  Normally, my mother and I go out in the madness just to be in the spirit but this year we decided waaaay before that Friday we weren’t gonna go out in the craziness.  Thank goodness for that because it seems as though Black Friday is losing its’ luster of holiday spirit and becoming more about people fighting over televisions and Barbies.

I know I’m probably sounding like an old lady who yells “Hey you kids, get off my lawn!” haha I promise I’m still young.  Just want to be able to enjoy the holiday season and shop like it should be done…safely.

OK, I know you’re dying to see my new haircut so here it is…(plus a little bit of filter because I was a tad shiny and sleep deprived on Thanksgiving game day… don’t shame me)
 
 
Yes, I have bangs!! And a two-inch trim off the bottom!  Scary day guys, scary day but I made it through the hair shears snipping in my ear…whew!
 
 
 
 

Morning Linkage: Cup 22

It’s Friday! We made it!

This week…little hectic for yours truly.  Hope you guys had a good week! Can you BELIEVE Thanksgiving is next Thursday?! I.Am.Freaking.Out.  Seriously don’t have everything I need to cook.  Anywho, I’ll save all of those ramblings for next week…get your coffee and read the news! Remember, if you have a blog or site and want it to be listed in “Morning Linkage” just let me know 🙂
