Oh Shanana!: Finalizing February

Sadly my birthday month has come to an end, but thank goodness we were blessed with an extra 24 hours with Leap Day! :-) Just a little recap of my birthday celebrations and what we've been up to for the remainder of this month.

We celebrated with a family birthday dinner at American Grocery and drinks with friends afterwards! I am truly blessed with such an amazing family and great friends! It has been a really fun month....

A month of concerts....

Bruce Hornsby with friends at the Greenville Peace Center

It was pretty good. I will admit that I'm not a HUGE Bruce fan, but he is quite the pianist and I do LOVE me some "Mandolin Rain".

Kelly Clarkson with my sister at Timmons Arena at Furman University.

AHHHMAZING! seriously...I was a HUGE Kelly Clarkson fan a few years ago and apparently I still am. First of all, she is just so real and seems like an awesome person. Second of all, she BELTS it out and I love that. You gotta love an artist that you can belt out to in the car or the shower (or belt out with at their concert like my sister and I did!) And although I haven't listened to some of her songs in years, the words came right back to me ;-)

Some of my favorites from the concert:

"Stronger"

Cover of Florence and the Machine's "Heavy in Your Arms"

"Mr. Know It All"

"Walk Away"

"Since U Been Gone"

"Because of You"

"Already Gone" (I simply love this song because it was the song played in SYTYCD for those sent home)

"Don't You Wanna Stay" with Jason Aldean

I know...that's a lot. But like I said it was a good concert!

Somehow, I didn't take a single pictures at either of these concerts. Well except for this one at Kelly Clarkson...

Yes that is an XL image of Jason Aldean with a life-sized Kelly Clarkson. :)

Obsessions of the month

Chan Luu bracelet

Rebecca Minkoff Studded Affair Bag

Beginning DIY Projects

Our living room coffee table

The plan was to simply paint it one coat and distress it, but I had too many different suggestions...

So here is the primer.....I'm either going to leave it this color or paint over it with off-white and then distress? thoughts?

I ended up loving this color and this look and now I can't decide what to do. Figures.

New Hair Style

So, I've grown my hair out for a WHILE now and it is long and I love it long. But it's getting a little "old" to me and I think I need something new and different! Of course the styles/cuts I fall in love with are on BEAUTIFUL people that have completely different hair than mine, but whatever. Thoughts, anyone? Keep it long or go for the "long bob"??

Clearly, it would just be easier if I could HAVE Gwyneth's hair or just look like her.

I also like these 2 shorter bobs, but can't decided if I'm ready to go that short again....but maybe?

And then there are the bangs. So, been there done that. But I am loving this haircut on Anna Faris, makes me want to think about doing bangs again. But I also just love the length.

Which style is your favorite???

Lastly, cannot wait for Revenge to return in APRIL!!!! :-) Thank goodness we don't have too long to wait!!
