{Weekend Plans}

TGIF Peeps!!! While it's been a short work week for me - I'm so ready for the weekend. Other than the following, I don't really have any set plans:

Weight Watchers
I have to weigh in tomorrow and for some reason I'm a little nervous about it. I haven't cheated and have stayed within my allotted points, but for some reason I feel like I may gain this week. If so, I will take it in stride as I know there are ups, downs, and plateaus in ths long journey - but still I will be a little disappointed. My goal for next week is to really start exercising - as in weight training. I've been doing mile walks and throwing in a little jogging, but it's time for me to get in the gym to reshape this bod. Fun, fun - eh?

Flea Market
I would like to see if there are any goodies that I can't live without. I haven't been since it's been 90+ degrees, so it will be nice to stroll around the market in much cooler weather. If I'm lucky, I have a DIY project that I want to do so hopefully I'll find the items I need. Stay tuned for a post on Monday!

{I so love this pic. I've posted it several times before - and I'm posting again because I just love the energy...and that fabulous pink skirt!!}

Other than WW and the flea market, I may go to the movies ~ and I may go out and do some sweater shopping. With the weather declining quickly, I'm realizing my wardrobe needs some....tweeking. Well ~ enjoy your weekend, relax, and be sure to do something fun!

{Making A List And Checking It Twice...}

I know it's early but if the malls can start putting up Christmas decorations in October - I can start talking about wish lists! My family LOVES Christmas, and my parents still require me and my sisters to create Christmas wish lists. Most people can't believe we still do this, being that we're between the ages of 23 and {clearing throat}, but I partially think it's because my parents don't have any grandchildren yet, so the focus is still on us {which we love}. Believe it or not, we have a deadline of this Friday to get our lists in - and the pressure is on!

During the holidays, we {as in mostly me} get very competitive with how we present our Christmas lists {adding clip art, borders, etc} all the way down to the actual wrapping of the gifts. So in pure Flourish fashion I did a little research and found some templates that I'm thinking about using for my list presentation. Now if you're anything like my crazy, tradition-loving family, and you also create lists for Christmas {or even if you want to start a new tradition} I've included the links below for you to print these FREE templates:

Happy list making {stay tuned for my completed Christmas wish list in the coming weeks...}!!!

{Obsession: Chunky Sweaters}

You know me - I'm always obsessed about something. My current obsession is chunky, over-sized sweaters. One of the many things that I absolutely love about fall and cooler weather is that you get to wear sweaters...and the trend this season is the bigger the better!
Chunky Sweater 1
{Imagine wearing this sweater, curled up in your favorite chair drinking some Max Brenner hot chocolate. Or slipping on a pair of skinny jeans, your favorite boots, and  heading out to the mall for some Christmas shopping - it's so versatile and I'm lovin' it}

Chunky Sweater 3
{Me and my sister saw so many of these Fair Isle cardigans this past weekend and I want one! I'm trying to find the right one...meaning the right price. The hunt is on...}

Chunky Sweater 2
{The layering here is genius, and the belt is perfection. I actually bought an oversized belt this past weekend in one of LA's boutiques...I'll be rockin this style all fall and winter long...}
