First of all. Thank you to everyone who entered the Rocks Paper Metal Giveaway. It was a huge success, and I am so excited to announce Margaret of The Gilded Peach is the winner! Margaret has a wonderful blog, and she is seriously one of my favorites! PLUS she hails from Georgia! Go check her out! Margaret, I will email you shortly with all the info :) Congrats!

Now, on to the main show

I have recently become obsessed with Dorothy Perkins, but I'm a bit hesitant to take the plunge and buy something for a few reasons. 1. It's a British company, and I haven't had a ton of luck with sizing in British clothes. 2. If I buy one thing I'm going to have to buy like 50, because everything is super cute.

I've heard that the quality is similar to H&M, but the prices are a tad bit higher... Does anyone know if this is true?

Okay, anyways, here's what I'm loving

I shockingly don't have any weddings on the horizon, but if I did... This mint jacquard dress would be mine.

I'm back for another week of What I'm Loving Wednesday. 

First and foremost, I'm LOVING the awesome Rouge and Co. Giveaway I'm hosting right now. Have you entered yet? go here.

Next I'm loving this cooler weather that we are having in DC. I went swimming after work the other night and OMG it was chilly at 7:30 pm. LOVE it. is it too early in the summer to say I'm ready for fall?

I'm loving these pretty bedrooms. One day I will have something this glamorous  

I'm thinking about doing a super bright fun color like this now though... thoughts?

I'm loving that the Cap Fabb meet up is tonight

Who else is going? 

Y'all know I'm a political nerd, but I am SO EXCITED for the Congressional Baseball game tomorrow. It's AWESOME. A bunch of Congressmen and Senators get together for a friendly game of baseball. Dems vs. Repubs. Last year was a blow out for the Democrats, so we shall see if they continue to dominate or if the Republicans will be out for blood. 

I'm loving that the fourth of july is only one week away!

if only this is what it really looked like

I've been on a STRICT budget this week (testing to see what it will be like when I do a month long spending freeze for my 25 before 25) and let me tell you it's been tough.

Once my spending freeze is over here are a few things I'm loving

ugh. Can some one just by me a whole new wardrobe? k. thanks. 

So that's what I'm loving today. Hope to see some of you tonight!!!!

 and FINALLY. I've been lusting over one of these for YEARS. It's one of those that I know I'll LOVE once I get it, but I can't quite justify the price tag. Oh well. I can still dream

 Also I want to give a quick (and unsolicited) shout out to one of my favorite ETSY shops. Jennifer Lauren Bijoux is a jewelry designer and helped me with all of my Christmas presents last year. As well as a few birthday presents since. I bought one of her small gold disk necklaces and I seriously wear it EVERY day.

Hope y'all have a great rest of your Wednesday!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I had so much fun linking up with Jaime last week, so I decided to do it again. Here's what I'm loving this Wednesday.

I'm loving that it's already Wednesday! Four day weeks are the best.

I'm loving my new Stila Custom Color Blush I picked up last week with my Birchbox points.

I'm loving this TJ Maxx find

I picked up this skirt from Talbots. TJ Maxx is always hit or miss, but I have to say the last few times I've gone I've found some great things. Anyway, found this skirt for 90% the original price! It's beautiful, and real quality silk. Love it.

I'm loving that I've finally discovered how awesome twitter is. You should totally follow me here. 

 I'm loving that I finally got my Starbucks Gold Card in the mail last night! I'm so legit right now, you have no idea.

Another TJ Maxx find. Uber-Prep Ralph Lauren Boat shoes in pink. I totally wore them to yoga last night and got a few looks when I walked in. But as we left class the skies opened up... sucks for all y'all in your TOMS. Haha. jk, but not really.

I picked up a few Aveda samples at the girls night out event last week, and I'm loving how soft this leave in treatment has made my hair. Watch out It's a 10. You are in danger of being replaced.  

Do you have Pot Belly near you? OMG they just came out with a new Mediterranean Sandwich. AND. IT'S. AWESOME. This is gonna get bad y'all.

I'm loving all of you who've entered my giveaway! There's still some time if you haven't entered yet!!!

So that's it. What I'm loving this Wednesday. Go to Jaime's blog and link up!
