Fabulous Friday

Happy Friday Everyone! It's here - another edition of Fabulous Friday! A highlight of all things fabulous that I've stumbled across over the course of this week (in no particular order, of course!) or even fond memories I have stored in my brain.

As with last week's FF, I'm going to highlight some blogs on Fabulous Friday that may have touched my heart, made me laugh out loud or perhaps even just re-evaluate the way I look at things.

Last Friday Mayra over at life is Bananas shared her new kitchen with her readers. I immediately saved the post & showed it to Mr. Potts. We oohed & ahhed over her new appliances, new countertops & new cabinets. We were especially in love with her new faucet and sink. Could this be a touch faucet??

Gwen wrote this week about what parents do while kids are away. Having no children myself & planning to not ever, I read this & thought, "Huh. I wonder if my mom used to look forward to me being gone." Then I continued reading & just about died when I saw the Rear Gear. DIED I tell you!!

Kimmie went to San Diego recently & shared with her readers her trip to the San Diego Zoo. Being the big zoo fan that I am, I loved the pictures & the video she posted. I've always wanted a koala bear. Anyone think I stand a chance in hell of convincing Mr. Potts that I NEED one after he continues to turn me down for a puppy?

Apparently the brighter ones "fake & bake"!

We've all been there & done that, right? You walk out to your car & see the spot of bird doo on it. Sometimes it may look like the bird had a case of the runs. I hope I'm not the only one this happens to! Brittany had a case of attacking birds recently. She fought the battle & beat it. Except the way she tells her stories has me dying laughing. Cracking up in my seat. Trying not to spit water all over my computer.
She didn't take this picture, but I wish she'd taken one to share!

Happy Friday everyone! What inspired you, made you laugh or cry, made you smile or made you hungry this week?

Should I use a McLinky for these last few so you all can link up with your faves? Let me know what you think.

Enjoy your weekends!!

Fabulous Friday!

Aren't you glad that Friday is here - and we have a long weekend! Mr. Potts and I had a great night at the Panther's game. They played awfully (and I won't bore you with my theories concerning our team and what they need to do to improve), but we enjoyed cool weather that really has me so ready for fall.

As always, in no particular order, some of my favorite things (and people).

I can't believe I'm highlighting her since she just moved to Pittsburgh & apparently is a HUGE Steelers fan ( Julie, I'm soo disappointed - well, more so in my own team) but Julie of Wearing Mascara is a wonderful blogger who just moved from the DC area to Pittsburgh. Her blog is fabulous & always makes me laugh. If you're not already following her in her journeys, you definitely should. At the very least, you have to go check her out for her fabulous header!


Another things I'm really loving right now is the ring pictured below. This was part of the wedding present that Mr. Potts gave me. When he gave it to me, I almost started crying. It's such a beautiful ring and a reminder of such a wonderful weekend in our lives. Plus, I love the fact that it is sparkly & definitely a fashion statement. I think it's pretty timeless.


Mr. Potts and I have a wedding to attend at the end of October. It is supposed to be an outdoor wedding & October here can still be fairly warm. This dress (from Nordstrom) is one I'm considering. I love the color, love that I can wear it again & the fit looks perfect. What do you think?

I recently stumbled across the online jewelry site for Stella & Dot. I found this necklace & fell in love with it. They have amazing pieces of jewelry & since I'm trying to update some of mine this site fits the bill. Some things are a bit out of my price range, but isn't it fun to look?


I have a hair appointment on Tuesday and I think that when I go in, I'm going to tell my hairstylist that I'd like to go a tad darker - a la Jennifer Aniston. I'm including 2 pictures since I think the first one (from He's Just Not That Into You) is more of a spring/summer look while the second picture is more fall/winter. I'm going for fall/winter. What do you think? Have any of you ever gone a little darker (and I'm not talking a huge difference, just a shade or two)? What did you think? Did you like it?

Also, don't forget to enter the contests listed in my sidebar. Molly Lou Gifts, Living in the Moment, A Glimpse of the Girl Next Door and Stuttering Shell all have great giveaways going on.

Hope you enjoyed my Fabulous Friday!
