Five Things Friday.

1. Guys. The Hunger Games.

No, I didn't go to any midnight showings, I am going tomorrow afternoon like a 35-week pregnant person who likes her bed at midnight. Nevertheless, I am EXCITED. And here are some neato Hunger Games related links you should look at because they are awesome, and this weekend is a celebration of Hunger Games. Ok?:

-Hunger Games Cupcakes
-Hunger Games "Capitol Colours" Nail Polish
-Hunger Games themed wedding shoot
-Hunger Games cookies

Also, did you see it last night? Give me your rating on a scale of 1-10 in the comments. Love you, mean it.


2. Did you guys see Lizzie's awesome tutorial on dying jeans? She is the coolest. And I plan to try it once I'm no longer with child since I want some mint green ones way bad.

Find the tutorial here. 

3. This week's weather has been cracked out here in Utah. It was blizzarding on Monday, but this weekend it's supposed to be in the 70's. These ups and downs make me want warm weather even more. Stop TEASING ME, mother nature! 

This bipolar weather may be why I am having a current love affair with mixing neon and neutrals to bring some spring into my life even if I still have to pull on boots once a week. And here are some super cute and affordable neon treats to bring some brights to your wardrobe no matter the weather: 

Earrings, Belts, Necklace, Tights, Purse, Scarf

4. Every week we call for submissions for Five Things from YOU, and we have had some REALLY great responses. Well, today is no different, since a fabulous reader, Bethany, contacted us to tell us about the coolest site with the Knot Library.  Just THINK of all the possibilities for spicing up outfits with this list! WAY cool.  You gotta go.

5. Sometimes I freak out because I have a baby inside of me that is going to be on the outside of me soon. And I act crazy, and scream things, and feel an overwhelming urge to get myself a milkshake to self medicate. But then, sometimes, I freak out because I'm SO excited to have the baby on the outside, and I cry, and scream things, and feel an overwhelming urge to get myself a...well, you get it. So what I'm trying to say is that I'm fun to live with these days.

As a result of these feelings, I like this song right now. Because it spells out 'Life Goes On' in the chorus. Which I gotta keep telling myself, because everything's gonna be fine. And it's funner to sing these sort of things then just to say them, and I definitely need another reason for people to think I'm crazy these days, so singing 'Life Goes On" out loud all the time is really doing the trick.

Anyways, go ahead and listen:
