Your Weekly Dose of Random

via Curly Girl Design

All of you that have been Blonde Ambitioners for a while know that I usually dedicate one post a week to my second favorite topic: Randomness. (My first favorite topic? I'll give you one guess...)

I realize the whole world isn't as enraptured with clothing/accessories/Sam Edelman platforms as I, and since this is an equal opportunity blog, I want offer a little somethin'-somethin' on here for peeps of all sizes, shapes and topic preferences.

Enter, randomness.

So now that I've explained the reccuring theme of "rando", let's get to it:

(Sidenote: I also enjoy bullet points. If I could bullet point things when I talk, like using air quotes, I totally would.)

• Curly Girl Design has officially made my week. I ordered a box of Christmas cards ("Funny Thing About Joy box for $13.50) yesterday and cannot wait to send them out! I also have one of the Curly Girl paintings in my bedroom and want to get a couple more soon. I'd love to have a whole wall dedicated to this preciousness in my apartment. If you haven't met the brilliance known as Curly Girl, I suggest y'all get acquainted. See, aren't they adorable?

My card!

This one made me smile : )

I want this for my wall!

• I wore a sequined tank underneath a black 3/4 sleeve blazer (and dark skinnies) yesterday and when I pulled up at the Chick-Fil-A drive thru window to get my lunch, the cashier asked me if I was "going to a party?" (Unless you call a 1:00 conference call about FDIC insurance regulations a party, then no, I was not.) The rest of the day was a whirlwind of emotions: "Didn't she know that sequins are totally daytime appropriate if you pair it with casual pieces like jeans, a plain blazer and minimal jewelry?!", "Was my office-appropriate smoky eye a bad choice with such a bold textile?", "Have I let down my blog readers, style clients and, most importantly, Tim Gunn?"

• Pretty sure I'm not the only one who may or may not have made a questionable wardrobe choice yesterday though. One of the gals in accounts payable was sporting a lovely calf-length denim skirt (it's as sexy as it sounds) complete with Ugg boots and a pink velour zip up hoodie. (If you aren't at all bothered by that, click here. I'd love to talk.)

• T-minus one week from today, my boyfriend and I will be Nashville bound for the NeedtoBreathe show at the Ryman! I'm not sure if I'm more excited about the concert or having two days off work.

• Barney Stinson, will you please be my best friend forever? I love me some NPH and I've been enjoying the heck out of some How I Met Your Mother re-runs at 6:30 a.m. this week while I'm getting ready for work. I had no idea they came on this early, but it is quite possibly the most perfect way to start your day. And this quote is probably one of my all-time favs. (Sidenote: Coincidentally, I'm not even remotely sad at the moment, but if I ever get that way, I'll be sure to refer to quote below.)

• Are y'all familiar with the hilarity and poignance known as Christian writer Jon Acuff? I dearly adore this man's writing and his post yesterday was just lovely. Check it out if you feel so moved.

Alrighty. I'm off to make this Thursday a remarkable one. True story.

Be blessed, lovelies-
