Next Year

It's official. Next year, I'm spending Easter in DC with my sister and brother-in-law. (If they'll have me, of course!)

Inspired By: Canadian Tuxedo

Sorry if 'Canadian Tuxedo' offends any of my friends from up north (do I even have any friends up North? give me a shout out if I do!). I've been bookmarking all denim looks for weeks now and finally tried it out for myself. I had been waiting to pick up a pair of wide leg trousers, but I tried some on this weekend and they just looked weird. I'm officially hooked on skinny jeans and skinny jeans only.

Inspired by my previous post, Prepster. It's funny because I actually have a blue shirt exactly like hers but couldn't find it. Fail.

St. Pius

Finally made it down the street to St. Pius for their fish fry. The food was great and not too expensive- fish and three sides for $7 or $8 (sorry, can't remember how much it cost. My gentleman paid for me). Some other things worth noting...

• Potato salad and cole slaw was so so good. Pretty sure we licked out plates. 
• I had cod and the boy had catfish. Both were great, but my cod was a little cold.
• Mac and cheese was nothing to write home about. It was sticky. 
• I got a free Bud Light in line, but I know they also had Schlafly and Budweiser there too (the boy got a Budwesier with a red tab! Is this a new can or something?!)
• They had Irish music playing! Fun!
• Everyone was super super friendly. Someone even let us cut them in line. Seriously. 
• Are there 'no kids allowed' fish fries out there? Sorry. They are kind of loud and annoying. 

Only one Fish Fryday left. Sadface. Anyone know any open on Good Friday? I'm hoping St. Agatha's is, because that's really where I want to go!

Splurge. Save. Skip.

I've bought almost everything on my spring wish list, except a new pair of shorts (or two?) and these little babies. But now I need some advice.

Splurge?

Bensimon lace-up tennies in beige (I think the color in this photo is a little off. Pretty sure they are a lighter beige, not so clay-looking.)

Save?

the classic Keds

Or skip all together and just live with my (two pairs of) Sperry's? Come on people, help me out.

My Favorite Castle

As you know, I was invited (via Twitter!) to a blogger's breakfast at White Castle. This is awesome for several reasons...

1. I love White Castle.
2. I love free food. 
3. I love random events. 
4. I was invited via Twitter!
5. Did I mention I love White Castle?

Check out my full post over at Girls Guide to the Galaxy (and a giveaway of Whiteys' goodies!) and enjoy a few pics from the day...

 My castle awaits!
