Hunger (and Hockey) Games

The weekend is almost here agaaaaain! Our big plan this weekend? Finally seeing The Hunger Games! I know I’m like a week late on this, but I actually just read the book last week as the movie was coming out. I was late to the game, but I’m totally on the bandwagon now. *Sigh*, let the obsession begin. 

P.S - I’m wearing my blue and yellow today in honor of my Sabres :) They’ve been doing awesome making a huge playoff push recently, and they are making me very happy! Lets Go BUF-A-LO!

Our family dog, Sassy, was put to sleep on friday :( . I was trying to find my favorite picture of her - one I took for my photography class in high school. I couldn’t find it, but I do also love this one. Its a good 4 or 5 years old. Just playing in the snow together :)

In My Life: Home For The Holidays

Happy New Year everyone! How has everyones 2012 been so far?

We are finally back in Boston. And although I have already shared my instagram photos from Christmas Eve and Christmas day (see them here), I still have a bunch more from the rest of our week at home. 

As usual, I have pictures of my cat, Tim Horton’s coffee, and a Sabres game. Those are mandatory :) It wouldn’t be a trip home without them!

In My Life : Home Time

from the top…

Oy, another 8 hour drive to Buffalo. I tried to keep myself busy by editing photos and and queuing up posts on the go. Until I shorted the fuse in our pluggy-thing. Awesome. But it got better when the very first thing I did when we got into Western New York was get some Tim Horton’s coffee. Nothing says home like some Timmy Ho’s. 

Most of my week at home was just spent relaxing. I spent a lot of time in my pajamas and lounging around with Kiki. Even Thanksgiving was low-key. Dinner at my dads and then tv time with the brother. 

And the best way to finish off a week at home - A Sabres game, of course!

In My Life : Sabres and Other Things

Things that happened this weekend:

I had one of those days on friday where I pretty much didn’t move off of my spot on the couch. Day - photo editing, coffee, and Grey’s Anatomy reruns. Night - save the dates, sheep slippers, and the Sabres game. Same spot, just different activities. 

I was in a very Sabre-y mood this weekend. At different times I sported both my 80’s bomber jacket and my customized All Stars. 

It was also a build a fort in the living room type of weekend. Completed with wings and buffalo chicken wing dip while we watched yet another Sabres game.

Merging Style Blogger and Hockey Fan

worn on October 3rd, 2011

For those of you that have been around here for a while, you are probably aware of a slight obsession I have. If you are new to this little blog, well, be prepared. I happen to be a huuuuuge Buffalo Sabres fan (and hockey fan in general), and I often find myself letting this obsession show through my outfits. While it is hockey season, don’t be surprised to see a lot of my outfits showing my blue and gold pride!

Well, the new hockey season officially started yesterday, and the Sabres first game is today (in Europe!) - so obviously I couldn’t help myself. Today, you can find me with my butt parked in front of the tv, cheering on my babies and watching my fantasy teams closely. And envying my sister who traveled to Germany to see our team play.

Oh yeah, LETS GO BUF-A-LO!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4

just a few of my favorite blue and gold inspired outfits from the past year

Photos from home.... again

So I was home again this past weekend for the second time this month. We booked our venue, had our engagement party (and I didn’t take any pictures. whoops), went to the casino for my birthday, and painted my face for the sabres game. For some reason, I’m horrible at taking outfit photos when I’m home. Even though I have all my stuff to do it. Sorry about that. I do have one more, but I haven’t gotten around to editing them yet. But, as last time, heres a few other photos from the weekend:

traveling in style / card games with the family

brother is hilarious during Sabres games / tacos for my birthday dinner!

bunny birthday cake! / scenery at home

heading into Canada for a little birthday gambling / Sass-a-frass checking out my outfit photo session

Sorry I don’t have a cute easter sunday outfit to show you. This is actually what I looked like on sunday. In our neck of the woods, a hockey playoff game trumps most everything.

Anthropologie and Hockey

worn on April 14th, 2011

I recently received a 15% card in the mail from Anthropologie for my birthday, and you know I wasn’t going to wait long to use it. I ended up getting this sweater and skirt full price, and two more items on sale - but we’ll get to them later. Before now, my last few trips there have been…. eh. But I had handfuls of so many pretty things this time around! It was hard to narrow it down, But I’m pretty ecstatic with what I ended up getting. Happy (early, again) birthday to me!!

P.S - don’t forget to enter the giveaway over at The Daily Fashionista to win one of my bow tie necklaces!

Of course, I had to show some Sabres love. I actually show a lot more Sabres love on a daily basis than I show on here. But today is special. Its game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quaterfinals. Its playoff time baby!!! This is my playoff dance:

LETS GO BUFF-A-LO!!!!!
