This weekend we headed out of the city and off to visit Gary’s family. It was one of those weekends that I didn’t take a lot of photos and really just enjoyed being away from everything!
//We got drinks with friends and saw a few puppies and even a baby in the bar…when in Rome!
//Used a snow blower for the first time ever
//Also shoveled snow for the first time, feeling it today and thinking city life is the way to go!
//Watched the Oscars and even tried my best to choose the winners
Having a laid back weekend means lots of Friends binge watching on Netflix and some online shopping!!
I have been itching for some leopard flats and tried them on when I was at DSW…they didn’t have my size, but I knew that they would fit perfectly and would be really comfy because they are Dr. Scholl’s, which is what they’re known for!
I’m also slightly obsessed with suede shoes at the moment! I found these two at H&M and I’m leaning towards the pink ones, but wanted to see what you all thought! They come in the usual colors like khaki and black, but I want something with a little more pop!
Now let’s talk Oscar fashion!!
Chrissy Tiegan would have been my favorite of the night had Jennifer Lopez not showed up, but Chrissy looked gorgeous and I could not love that pale blue color more!! Jennifer Aniston = pure perfection and Jamie Chung…who would have thought she got her start on the Real World!! I absolutely love her dress!
I have to say what I love most about the Oscars is the drama of the dresses!! Reese Witherspoon, Rita Ora and Rosamund Pike looked amazing!!! I did think that Reese looked stunning, but a little safe even if she did wear white.
I could not even get over Jennifer Hudson in pale yellow and then Jenna Dewan showed up…seriously!!
I’m utterly obsessed with Jennifer Lopez’s dress from last night!! She looked youthful, gorgeous and absolutely flawless!!
Did you watch the Oscars? Who was your best dressed?
Hope you all have a wonderful start to your week!!

What a nice, relaxing weekend! The baby in a bar thing is a bit weird but ok then. Love those leopard flats and both of those heels. Since my favorite color is blue I'm a bit partial to the blue ones…. 🙂 Love the red carpet for the Oscars. I saw a series of pictures of JLo getting into a car to go to the Oscars and man was it process! Happy Monday love!

I love the suede shoes. I have a pink pair that I actually never wear. The pink is kind of too bright.(my pair) I like the pink you picked though. The blue is soo pretty too. Clearly I can not make decisions lol. Have a fab week! xoxo

Sounds like a lovely weekend! I'm watching the Oscars right now (we have a delayed telecast here in Australia!) and I'm loving all the fashion. I think Jena Dewan, Rosamund Pike, Emma Stone and Margot Robbie look AMAZING!!

Your first time shoveling! Oh I am jealous right now. Shoveling now is not my favorite activity. I really loved Emma Stone's Elie Saab dress. The color could have been better in my opinion, but I mean, long sleeves with an open back. I'd wear that thing everywhere.

Jenna Dewan Tatum was one of my favorites from last night too–I couldn't find a picture of her last night for my post. There were a lot of great dresses out there for sure!
So glad that you had a good weekend even if it involved snow haha. You sure are a Northern girl now for sure!! 😉
Hope your week is off to a good start girl!!
laid back weekends are the BEST 🙂 glad you had a fun weekend! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Love those H&M pumps! I was obsessed with J Lo's dress too! I just love all the sparkle this year 🙂
Love those suede heels! I'm loving the blue ones, but think the pink ones will be perfect for spring 🙂
I watched the Oscars, but only made it until 11:00. My biggest gripe with these awards shows is them being on a Sunday night and starting so late. It's a "school night" people! 😛
Jennifer Aniston will always be my fav, and she looked gorgeous but she needs to step it up and stop playing it so safe with her hair! Do something different gurlie!
I was amazed at all the gorgeous dresses last night! Definitely loved Emma Stone and J.Lo killed it, per usual!
Sounds like a fabulous weekend! I tend to not watch awards shows so thanks for recapping. JLo looks amazing!! I totally agree Jennifer Hudson looks amazing in the yellow dress too.
Ahh I am in love with suede pumps recently too, I want a pair of grey ones! Haha, that pic of you with the snow blower is priceless, looks like you had a great weekend 🙂
xoxo

What a fun weekend getaway! I say go for the pink suede pumps – they are so you! To be honest, I was slightly underwhelmed by most of the Oscar dresses, but Emma Stone, Sienna Miller, Anna Kendrick and Jen Aniston were my top picks!
Agree with all of your best dressed ladies! 🙂
Jennifer Aniston always knocks it out of the park to me! xx
I love those leopard flats! I did some online perusing this weekend…spending freeze is still in effect until Saturday!
Get the pink pumps!! Love them!! I also love the leopard flats. Get those too haha. I'm glad that you had a nice weekend. Sometimes its really nice to get out of the city. 🙂 Luypita N is my pick for best dressed, but I also liked Reese Witherspoon and Rosamund Pike. I hope that you are having a good day so far too!! 🙂
I like both shoes but think personally I'd have more to wear w/ the blue!! I did watch the Oscars and lives all the dresses. I thought Anna Kendrick and Dakota Johnson looked gorgeous!
I sat inside and watch Josh shovel, that is basically how I contribute 🙂 City living is definitely the way to go, take me back to it! I vote on the pink pumps because they will match more and show up better… or just get both because royal blue is such a fabulous color too! Happy Monday love! xo
Such a fun weekend!! Jennifer Lopez's was my FAVORITE dress. She always looks so classic and beautiful. Also loved Reese's and the girl in red (idk her name).
Love the leopard print flats! I really liked Reese's dress, but agree with you – it felt safe. I felt like E! didn't cover everyone on the red carpet, because there were a lot of people I didn't see!
I had no idea Jamie Chung got her start on the Real World! I love her (and her dress is amazing). I have to agree with you, J Lo looked incredible. That dress is beautiful. The color, the plunging neckline, the gems… perfection!
Looks like you have an amazing weekends 🙂

That Enjoy Today pic is my phone background! I'm with you on the shoveling snow thing-no thank you! Love those new leopard flats!
Shoveling is the worse. I have to shovel my balcony so that when the snow melts it doesn't leak into my condo. It's a pain in the butt! It is better than getting water in the house. I use to love having a balcony now I hate it! hahaha. Jennifer Lopez looked amazing!! I thought Reese Witherspoon looked amazing as well. Jenna Dewan is beautiful and so isn't that dress. White seemed like a popular color last night.
Rosamund Pike was definitely my fave!!

Oh snow!! I'm so sick of it haha We sold our snowblower when we moved and we're really missing it this year! I didn't get to watch the Oscars, but I checked out all the fashion this morning. I seemed to be drawn to colour this year and my favorites were Emma Stone, Rosamund Pike, and Dakota Johnson.
Glad you got to spend some great time with family! OMG all the dresses last night definitely didn't disappoint!! I am with you! JLo looked absolutely amazing! Although I am getting a little sick of seeing her boobies in every dress! Hahahaha

I didn't watch the Oscars but of course Instagram didn't disappoint keeping me updated lol. JLO can do no wrong.
WOW! Everyone looked amazing at the Oscars. I was in the air flying home, so I missed most of it. Thanks for the pretty recap!
Way to go shoveling, lady! You're a northerner now!
you and that snow blower!! cracks me up. i can't wait to have sushi again!!!!
Love pink shoes, I would go with them, in fact now I want them too)))
Watched Oscars, JLo of course best dressed as always and Reese Witherspoon – loved every thing about her!
Wish you good week my dear!

I loved Rosamund Pike's dress the most! Also, those H&M pumps are totally adorable!
I didn't watch the oscars, but seriously, some great dresses. I love Jamie Chung and her dress is gorgeous! J-Lo looked flawless of course, but a little less cleavage would have been nice haha. Jenna Dewan – seriously, amazing. meanwhile, the blue and pink shoes are both gorgeous, i feel like you should get both! i would wear the blue more for sure as i love blue, but if you are leaning towards the pink, get those 🙂
Look at you owning that snow blower! Yeah we actually have hired out our snow removal. While it's a decent workout…it's tough work and let's be honest I just don't like being out in the cold! =)
I'm also with you on the Friends binge watching and online shopping…I do that often at night when the reruns are on Nick as well!
And speaking of Friends, Jennifer Aniston looked amazing…she is and has always been my favorite and in my mind only could've been shown up had Blake Lively attended the Oscars =)
Have a great week girl!
I was so excited for your fashion picks and I couldn;t agree more! Glad ya'll had a great weekend! xo
Sounds like a perfect weekend!! Family and friend time- the best!! Girl, you know I will always vote for the pink shoes 😉
Shoveling snow is for the birds.. I would die!!! lol. And my favorites were Rosamund and J Lo's dresses… and Lupita's!! You forgot her lol. And I love Chrissy Tiegen's, but that super high slit made me a little nervous haha.
My brother's so weird- he LOVES shoveling snow! I however, moved to Florida to avoid it 🙂 We were still catching up on DVRed stuff during the Oscars, but out of the pictures, I love Jennifer Hudson, Rosmund Pike, and Jennifer Aniston's dresses. I'm a fan of sleeker dresses than the fuller skirts. Even my wedding dress didn't have a whole lot of "extra" to it 🙂
Oh, shoveling snow is indeed a workout! Lol. I would come in sweating even though it was well below freezing when I lived in a city that required shoveling.
Yes to JLo's dress. Simply stunning.
Pink pumps all the way! They'll be fun for spring. And I loved Jennifer Lopez, too! How is it that she can do no wrong — ever! I need her styling team.

I was LOVING Jennifer Lopez's dress. So gorgeous!!! And owning suede anything is just not possible with this Chicago weather. Ruined the secondI step out of the door! *WHINE.
I didn't watch the Oscars but I love seeing all the pretty dresses the next day! Love the leopard flats! If I had to choose between the two colors of heels I would say the blue, but then I am obsessed with blue. 🙂 The pink are pretty too!
Looks like such a fun weekend! I love the photos, even though there aren't that many! I am adoring all your choices! I just scored some suede heels at DSW (nine west) and they are super comfy! Love the looks you chose from the awards as well! Glad you had such a great weekend!

Love your cute and cozy snow look!! Yep, suburban living isn't ideal when it snows! Trust me on that one! J.Lo looks seriously amazing for a 45 year old! Her skin is flawless and I was digging that chic ponytail! And Jenna Dewan is beyond gorgeous! Loved the grecian godess look on her last night!

I loved Reese last night, she look so classic.
Loved all the fashions last night! Obsessed with Lupita's dress, and I think Reese always looks classy and beautiful! And I totally think you should go with the pink heels 🙂

I actually ordered those leopard flats twice and I was weirdly in-between sizes or something because one was way too big and the other was too small, I was so bummed because they're so cute! I think Chrissy Tiegan can pull off just about anything- her dress was so gorgeous! I loved Anna Kendrick, Sienna Miller, and Margot Robbie too. So glad you guys had a good weekend visiting with Gary's family!
Looks like you had a wonderful weekend! Sushi + Oscars = perfect Sunday night. Loving all of your Oscar picks!
xo Southern Style
OMG I still can't get over all of that snow! And JLO's dress was my fave too!
I haven't seen many of the Oscar dresses but from the ones I have seen Anna Kendrick's is my favourite. I love the colour and it was beautiful in a simple way without being over the top and flashy! Have a great Monday! 🙂
I love the pink shoes and I say go for it! I think Jenna Dewan was my FAVE!
JLo looked AMAZING! PS Love those leopard flats!
i've been searching for a cute pair of cobalt blue pumps – thanks for finding me a good option! 🙂 either color is gorgeous so i don't think you can really go wrong! xo
I didn't watch the Oscars but J. Lo can do no wrong for me ever. That dress!!! I love love love anything and everything in nude. She is amazing.
I will never miss shoveling snow. I did it for my Mom a few years ago when I was at home in the winter and I thought my arms were going to fall off. It's a workout!!
Those pink shoes are Gorgeous! I cannot believe someone brought a baby to a bar! I wouldn't have been able to stop staring haha!

JLo though. Seriously, it is so unfair…she is so beautiful! I also thought Chrissy looked amazing, but she is always at the top of my list! Kudos for you to manning the snow this weekend! I've never used a snow blower, but shoveling is seriously the worst…and yes, you definitely get sore!

Clothes & Quotes
Sounds like you had an awesome weekend!! Those leopard flats are fabulous and I am a big fan of the colored suede shoes as well. They really bring that pop of color!
I didn't watch last night, but J Lo looks absolutely stunning and I want that dress!!!!
We had similar picks for best dressed, I loooooooved Jennifer Lopez and Jamie Chung. I want those gowns in my closet asap! Also those pink suede heels are gorgeous!!
Sounds like a fun weekend! I am all about the leopard flats and waiting (not so patiently!) for my DSW birthday reward to arrive so I can snap them up!
I can't believe those leopard flats are Dr. Scholl's. Comfortable flats can be difficult to find so these seem like a great option! I'm into suede pumps right now, too. I bought a blue BCBG pair from DSW a few months back and I am OBSESSED with them!

Because I'm Obsessed
Shoveling is seriously the worst (a good workout, I guess lol), but isn't snowblowing so fun?! Tell me if that sounds weird haha, but it's sort of gratifying when you can get the job done so quickly.
I really thought everyone looked great last night!! There weren't too many misses – at least that I noticed! And girl, shoveling sucks. That is not a benefit of suburban life, ha! Happy Monday!
I don't hear "baby in a bar" & not think of Sweet Home Alabama….
J-Lo is AMAZING for her age… how she does it, I wanna know!!!!
Doesn't seem right that I linked up a beach weekend on your very snowy post! JLO looked stunning last night! By far my favorite of the night! Happy Monday, dear! xx
Reese Witherspoon was one of my favorite looks from the Oscars. I think you should go with the pink pumps spring has sprung!

My favourite was Gwyneth Paltrow. STUNNING!
Runners up: Zendaya, Chrissy Tiegen, and Rita Ora
Chrissy is always my favorite!! J.Lo..it isn't even fair!
I love Jennifer Aniston and J. Lo's dress!! So gorgeous!
I can honestly say that I've never touched a snow blower in my life. 🙂 No snow here! Those flats are super cute! I didn't watch the Oscar's 🙁 I miss having cable!
"you have a baby…in a bar!" lol, totally made me think of good ol Sweet Home Alabama. I love the pink pumps, they get my vote!

You really are a true Northerner now! I love her in that dress I just wish there was a tiny more coverage in the front…..I'm distracted….and all I want to focus on is the beauty of that dress! Oh Sweet Home Alabama that is my most favorite quote ever!
I'm obsessed with suede shoes too! I cant get enough! As for the Oscars, I'm totally in agreement, LOVE Chrissy Teigen! She can do no wrong.
J-Lo's dress was gorgeous! The train was perfect on her! Hope you had a great weekend!

You look so cute with that snow blower and shovel! I don't think I could handle shoveling snow all the time either. I'm obsessing over suede shoes right now too! Happy Monday, lady! 🙂
Fun weekend! You KNOW I watched the Oscars too 🙂 but I actually missed the red carpet. Love your pics though. Jennifer Lopez was absolutely stunning, and I looooooove Rita Ora's gown. That silhouette is just unbelievable. Have a great week!
Maybe I should add snow blowing and shoveling to my healthy swap list!! haha. I am normally not into the Oscars (or any award show), but I do like to look at the pictures afterward. Jennifer Aniston looks AMAZING as always.
Honestly, JLo never ages! She looks amazing! And yes on the leopard flats! I wear mine all.time.time. Obsessed with them.
Glad you had some down time this weekend!
Those first photos are so cute! Those Oscars dresses were stunning 🙂

I'm always in love with blue pumps like that! Hopefully less snow, more sun and you'll get them!
Sounds like the perfect weekend! Netflix… shopping… and the Oscars 🙂
Those pink pumps are calling my name! I never would have guessed that they're from H&M! Adorable!

Were your Oscar predictions right? I didn't even bother predicting this year because I didn't see many of the movies. But I loved the fashion, specifcally JLo, Rosamund Pike and Zoe Saldana!
Love all your Oscar picks! JLo seriously does no wrong and has the most amazing body. I really loved Anna Kendrick too, she looked very classy. Hope you had a nice weekend! Nice job on the snow blowing!
Love your weekend recap! I have never shoveled before, but oddly enough have always wanted to try it haha! Also love the colored pumps. We got a bunch of them in the Teen Vogue office recently and they look great and such high quality in person. Also love your Oscar picks, some of those were my favorite as well. Chrissy was gorgeous and I was blown away, but I totally agree, Jennifer Lopez stole the show with that gorgeous gown!!

I didn't watch the Oscars but they all look gorgeous!
All of my favorites were on your list too, go figure! We like the same thing 🙂 I'm having a really hard time deciding between the blue and the pink pumps buuuut I think I would go pink. They are both gorgeous but the pink just scream spring and we could all use a little more of that in our lives right now!
J Lo looked flawless. Also Zoe Saldana. Chrissy is third for me!
Love your Oscar round up and loving the sued pumps!

Hi Biana! Today was my first time linking up, thank you for hosting! Have loved reading and browsing through your pics/posts. Jealous of all your snow – we've had a measly 2-3 inches here in NC.
Don't you love "unplugged" weekends? Glad you had a nice trip!

Ugh, I hope I never have to use a snow blower! I hate snow! How did you do with your Oscar picks? I was obsessed with Jlo's dress too! Gorgeous!!
Why was there a dog in a bar?? Or a baby?! I'm pretty sure if I had to shovel my driveway, I'd just never leave! I completely missed the Oscars but those are some gorgeous dresses!
A baby in the bar? No comment!! Sounds like a fabulous weekend to me!! The sushi looks delish!!
Dr Scholls flats? SAY WHAAAAAAT?!
I never put 2 and 2 together that Jamie Chung was the girl from Real World… I actually watched that season! My mind is blown! lol
