First things first, TGIT is back. 

#praisehands

2.

After living in Knoxville for four years during college and now a year and a half in post-grad life, I am finally going to my first Ice Bears game this weekend! #sportsandbeer

3.
I will admit, I barely made it through 50 Shades of Grey. And after finishing it I didn't have a burning desire to start 50 Shades Darker.
However, after seeing all the promos for the movie and now the very steamy music video for I Don't Wanna Live Forever I will be heading to Target to buy the book.
Yes, the video is that good, check it out below.

4.
ICYMI: My Kind of Lovely is having a huge warehouse sale this weekend!
You do not want to miss this, Caroline and Katie have even cleaned out their closets!

5.

After finishing The Tudors last weekend I was on the search for a new series to watch. 

Enter, The Frontier. Jason Momoa, from Game of Thrones, stars as Declan Harp a fur trader in the 1700s who has gone rogue from the British company. If you love complicated character back stories and some bloody good violence this is the show for you!

Five on Friday

1.

TGIT is BACK. 

So many questions to be answered.

So much drama to still happen.

AND in true Shonda fashion, a Meredith Grey crisis!

2.

Happy Valentine's Day weekend!

We woke up to a sea of white this morning, but snow or not the Hot Chocolate 5K is tomorrow morning! Registration is still open so grab your gloves, we're running for chocolate here!

3.

My Spotify Discover Weekly has been on point lately. I feel like I end up just copying my weekly playlist song for song every Sunday night. Here are some of my current favorites. I am seriously loving the lyrics on First Class, Songs I Can't Listen To, and New Year's Eve.

4.

 Today is Day Three of my She Reads Truth Lenten devotional and I am really loving the scripture and devotions from this week and in the week to come [Yes, I read ahead. Some days you need more than one reading]. The books are sold out but I encourage you to follow along on She Reads Truth. 

5.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are back to looking flawless on the red carpet after a post baby James hiatus; and she is looking as gorgeous as ever. She is perfect from her hair to her sparkly toes.

Five on Friday

1.

Evelyn Henson released her Fall/Winter Collection of prints this week! These 25 new beauties join her line of journals, phone cases, and coffee mugs. I of course want them all! Thinking the Budding Genius would look great on my desk at the new office.

2.

#TGIT is back!!
Grey's Anatomy
Scandal
How to Get Away with Murder
And after a lot of Netflix nights I am officially a Gladiator for this season of Scandal!

3.
Ryan Adams released his highly anticipated and hyyyyped cover of Taylor Swift's 1989 album. I am not being over dramatic when I say it is absolutely incredible. I have had it on loop since Monday morning. I love that her song writing is finally getting the admiration it deserves.
A guy friend of mine posted this status this week and it made me love the album and collaboration even more:
"Today is the most excited I've ever been about a musical release. In 2006, Taylor introduced me to Ryan Adams' Easy Tiger album in a Geometry classroom. It was the first time I had ever heard him. Now he is my favorite artist and has changed the way I see everything. 9 years later, he has covered her album 1989. And it's brilliant. I know she is freaking out. What a strange world. Everyone go buy the album."



4.
JCrew Factory has everything 40%-60% off in stores through Tuesday and a special flannel sale online only as well. Fall is here, dress accordingly!

5.
Next week is OCTOBER!
I really need to get on top of monthly recaps over here but monthly to-do lists seem to be easier #postgradproblems. October brings concerts, weddings, W's first Halloween, Dad's birthday, and the beginning of annuals season. Ready, GO!
