a casual day and cheeseburger filled evening

Some days I wake up and it looks as if I gave myself swirlies all night instead of sleeping, thankfully I discovered the amazing equation of crazy hair + sheer scarf + pea-sized head = giant bow to distract from crazy hair! It works smashingly well if I do say so. Last Tuesday was definitely a bow-of-distraction type mornings so I opted for some cheetah print to liven the whole thing up a little.


Nothin’ fancy, just a casual day at work

C’mon now, don’t leave a girl hangin’!

The real fun got started when my adorable boyfriend picked me up and we headed to Terry’s Turf Club, a restaurant I’d been hearing about for years but had never made it to. Wow, I was missing out BIG.

I immediately knew it was my kinda place.


We sat at the bar which was great because we got to watch them make fresh french fries (from whole potato to plated fries) and see our burgers cooking.

There was definitely no shortage of other things to look at while we were waiting!

And right when I thought my mouth could water no more, this came out.

It was INCREDIBLE. Probably the best burger I’ve ever had.

Of course before we left I had to snap a few more pictures of this haven.

I’ll definitely be back to Terry’s again very soon. As long as my arteries can handle it.

Thanks for reading!!

leos rule

As some of you may know, my brother is currently living in Seoul, Korea teaching English to elementary school students. It’s great for him not only because he’s great with kids, but also because this job can be for paying off student loans. You get paid pretty well and they pay for most of your living costs, plus you get to live abroad. We’ve had a few friends who’ve done this in the past, but a very good friend of ours, Melissa went over a year before him and helped him get over. Melissa is one of the most wacky, random, hilarious, good-hearted, and fun people I’ve ever met in my life. One day she just started calling herself Mommy and it really stuck, so that’s pretty much how most of her friends know her now. Well, because she is also really impulsive she randomly quit her job in May and flew back to Cincinnati so that she could go to her brother’s wedding. It was great to have her back for the summer, but she has gone back to Korea now. I was very happy that we at least got to spend her birthday with her before she left.

Mommy prefers a low-key, hole in the wall type place, so we went to Arnold’s to listen to some jugband-style blugrass. Arnold’s is the oldest bar in the city, and the perfect bar to have a beer and enjoy the courtyard.

While we were out that night I realized that the very first outfit post I ever did on my blog was from her birthday, so I knew I had to make a tradition of it.

The beautiful birthday girl in front of their Shepard Fairey mural.

All of us ladies

She never saw it coming.

Last year for her birthday we played bocce ball, which was a first for me.

All in all a fabulous night with my two best ladies! I hope I magically get to spend her birthday with her next year. Maybe I’ll have to go to Korea…..
