It's 'OK' Thursday
Hello wonderful peeps! Hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July. There has been a heat wave in Chicago for like a week now and I'm ready to move to Antarctica I was avoiding being outside at all costs. I stayed home most of the day doing some cleaning and organizing around the house, but in the evening went out with a couple girlfrans to hang out at the fest in my area and catch some great fireworks! If you did anything exciting I'd love to hear about it in my comments below :)! Well it's Thursday and that means I'm linking up with the wonderful ladies {Neely} and {Amber} for it's OK Thursday...
...it's ok that during the amazing fireworks show I was also mostly checking out the hottie local cops and firefighters that were out and about!
...it's ok that I think it's wrong to have to back to work the day after the 4th if it's in the middle of the work week, it throws everything off.
...it's ok that I was doing some major fashion policin' at the fest last night, how practical is it wearing a mini skirt and 5 inch heels, high schoolers?
...it's ok that thoughts like the above make me so glad I'm not in high school anymore.
...it's ok that the 2 year anniversary of my grandma's passing is tomorrow and it still hurts/feels like it happened yesterday.
...it's ok that even though one of my favorite coworkers no longer works with me I'm going to see her tonight at buffalo wild wings for our girls night!!
What's OK with you this Thursday?? Go link up & leave some comment love!!

The Bachelorette Week 8 {Hometowns}
Morning everyone! I wasn't able to do the linky link last week because I caught the episode so late, but last night I watched the episode because it is one of my favorites {after the first night & proposal}. So I am linking up with {Anne} for some dish, here are my thoughts!
Crybaby Chris' Hometown:Chris still seems awkward being "in his element." At least he realized he was being a big baby last week. It was cool that they were in Hanover Park, IL which is so close to where I live, how cool?! His sister, Renee(sp?) was so skeptical of Emily even liking Chris telling her to end things before he got his heart broken. Chris is a big boy (sort of) and he should know how this show works. I did, however, think the end of the hometown date was pretty cute, but there was nothing spectacular about it, glad it was the first one.
Jef's Hometown: I really like Jef more and more after last week's date. Can we talk about Emily's outfit, I loved it on her! When she asked Jef's sisters about the wanting kids thing, they had a super awkward long pause, are they skeptical about if he wants an instant family?? OH EM GEE! Jef's letter that he wrote for Emily gave me goosepimples/chills and made my heart literally melt!!! Like if everyone didn't already love Jef, you had to after that moment!
Arie's Hometown: Of course Arie would take Emily racing and it's cute she went along with it. When Arie's mom starting speaking in Dutch, it was super awkward and weird. Honestly his mom is kind of a biotch, how could you not love Emily?!? She did kind of warm up that cold cold heart of hers a little bit after talking to Emily, but she still seemed standoffish. I really do see Arie ending up with Emily at the end.
Sean's Hometown: Oh they did save the best for last didn't they! Ok let's start off by talking about Emily's outfit, that hi-low dress was gorgeous!!! Moving on, how precious is Sean's nieces' house, "Kensington Cottage." I think Emily didn't take the news too well about living at home. Holy messy room Sean. Why did you have to kill your perfect image you could never do that. Thank god Sean doesn't really live at home, you could see the relief in Emily. Emily and Sean are like seriously perfect and if he doesn't win I sure as hell hope ABC is smart enough to bring him back as the Bachelor because I sure won't mind seeing his pretty self for an entire season!
Rose Ceremony: Love Emily's dress, again! Anyway, moving on, I honestly think there was an "obvious" choice to send home. Chris should have gone home last week when he was off crying like a baby, but oh wells, he is long gone now. Not a classy way to leave Chris. I don't like all these guys making Emily second guess her decisions, you knew coming into this, you either have a connection or you don't. Chris, your "10x the man" your only 25, grow the hell up, you having to say that proves your clearly NOT!
So anyone else here the rumors about Emily and Chris Harrison (the host of the Bachelor/Bachelorette) rumored to be hooking up? He claims that Emily is by far the most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes on, yada yada, I highly doubt Emily would go for him, and if she does, shit will hit the fan with this franchise. Maybe it's time they get another host, maybe one that won't hit on the Bachelorette?!
Ahh, I cannot believe it's already down to the final 3 and it's the 3 that I predicted from the very beginning. I can't wait for next week. What are your thoughts on this week's episode, go link-up and share your thoughts!

So here is my photo dump for the week!
So did you have fun going through my week/weekend, join in the link-up and post up your pictures from the past week or so! I'll be back for another link-up tomorrow to dish about tonight's episode of The Bachelorette!!

Favorite kind of shoes (brand or type)?
Type: nude peep toe pumps

Best clothing deal you've ever gotten (sale/amazing find)?
When I was in Houston last summer I found a beautiful (expensive) dress that was almost 75% off!!!

I would love to try the boho chic look. It looks effortless, but I don't think I can pull off the look.
