I pinned these from Rachel Schultz's blog a few days ago--- and I can get them out of my mind. mmm... and there are so many possibilities to switch it up with different candies and doughs. Why didn't I think of this?

Nutella and Peanut Butter  Cookies

insane combo. 

Baked S'mores

These aren't quite cookies, but they just sound too good not to feature them. Mmmm. my mouth is actually watering at the thought. 

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Now that is a chocolate chip cookie if I've ever seen one. They aren't fooling around. at all. yum. 

Birthday Party Planning

Friends... I need help. This lady is having a birthday on Saturday. We are throwing her a little soiree at our place on Saturday and I need cute ideas. I spent some time on pinterest the other day, but nothing is jumping out at me. So I'm asking for your help. We are expecting 15-20 people so we're planning on cocktails and maybe breaking out the table for some drinking games. I'm not looking to go over the top, because she's not really that kind of gal, but I do want to make it special. So....

I need decoration ideas. 

cute food ideas.

fun cocktail ideas. 

links to cute printables. 

Normally I'm pretty good at coming up with good ideas, but today I'm struggling. and with a crazy few days at work. Gearing up on my law school applications and a few other things I have cooking at the moment, I'm at a loss for time! 

So please leave me a comment. Tweet me. email me. just send me your best ideas from parties you've been to in the past, cute things you saw on pinterest, etc. HELP PLEASE :)

Happy Tuesday

Hi Friends! I'm home, and suffering from some post thanksgiving depression. I think it's the weather here in dc. 40's. rainy. windy. just generally gross. I had a great time back in Georgia. It's been a year since I've been in Atlanta, and I always seem to forget how much I love it!

Because I'm lazy I'm stealing a few gorgeous photos from my irlbff Lauren. I know I've mentioned her many a time before, but seriously y'all. She has an AMAZING food blog. Go check it out. In the meantime admire her gorgeous photography skills.

Late night at Waffle House is a must when in Georgia. 

We also did some window shopping in Virginia Highlands, and omg yall. I'm obsessed with this sparkly dress. I have inaugural/christmas parties on my mind already and I need some new dresses.

I'm kind of obsessed with this picture. Do you ever just see yourself and just realize you look so much older than you think? I'm 24, and I fully know that... but I still feel like I look the same as I did when I was 18. This picture definitely proves we have aged gracefully in the years since we left Atlanta

*PS do my teeth look whiter? Why yes they do! I'm about half way through my crest white-strips pack, so I'll have a full review coming soon.

KC and I had quite the flat tire incident on Friday afternoon. After a little black Friday shopping and lunching she was dropping me off and clipped the curb. Well any normal curb may just scratch the side of your tire... but this curb... no. it put a huge gash on the side of her tire and the thing was flat in mere seconds. Unfortunately her tire guys broke the lock to access her spare... so the ordeal continued. Thankfully Costco had them in stock and we were able to replace it fairly easily so she go get off to athens. It's definitely a story for the record books... but at least we got to spend an extra few hours together! Miss you already!

Plus. I got to hang with my bff Ashley. I can't believe how old she's getting! She's definitely entering the pre-teen years, which make me sad--- but excited because we'll get to go shopping and drink coffee (and hot chocolate) together more often!

How was your thanksgiving holiday?
