It is officially desk calendar season, y'all. I swear I got three emails about calendar releases in one afternoon this week. I love love my Sweet Caroline Designs desk calendar but now there are just so many options, I don't know. One of my long time favorites Ashley Brooke Designs released her first ever limited edition desk calendar this week and it just might take the cake for me.

In addition to the dozen desk calendar releases this week, the holiday gift guides are flowing in. SummerWind debuted her's on the the blog this week and Tory Burch released her's earlier this week. To. Die. For.

There have been new music releases galore lately. You've got new All American Rejects, new Ellie Goulding, and most importantly new Ed Sheeran. Once again, it's a collaboration but it's just so good I can handle Ed sharing air time.

I can finally check another item off my 25 Before 25 bucket list this weekend! Even thought the forecast is rain I cannot wait for the Tennessee v South Carolina game this weekend. Let's win out the season and go bowling boys!

One of my favorite parts of blogging is connecting with other bloggers across the country. I feel like I know everyone through their blogs and Instagram pictures. I finally got to meet one half of my favorite blogger bestie duo My Kind of Lovely. They just opened their newest location in The Southern Market in Knoxville and it is on a whole new level of cute [those ornament letters >]. Caroline and Katie are true #squadgoals and if you're not following them Peach Love Travel Bug and Pearls & Twirls you should be! And be sure to follow My Kind of Lovely too.
