guest post: carly from a simple affair

Hello fabulous readers! Carly here from a simple affair.  First and foremost, how great is Julia? Ya I know, so great.  Hence why I was ecstatic and flattered when she asked me to do a post while she frolics around Europe.  I'm so jealous of her trip.

Speaking of Europe, did you know I'm an Irish dancer and that St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays of all time?  Ya smooth transition, I know.  Anyways, we are one day away from St. Patrick's Day Month (Happy Leap Day by the way! See where my priorities lie?).  Have you gotten your Shamrock Shakes yet?!

Moving on...I hope you all know about those crazy leprechauns and their pots of gold.  If you don't, Wikipedia does a great job of telling you all about those mischievous little guys.  This would be my ideal pot of gold:


Are you with me on the gold train? What would be in your pot of gold?
And per Julia's request, here's an Irish dancing picture...well at least the get up.  I don't have too many action shots.


Get your green and gold ready folks because for this month, you're all Irish whether you like it or not!

Thanks so much for having me today, Julia!


Literally obsessed. How amazing is Carly!? Happy Leap Day everyone! I'll be back tomorrow, and will share tons of photos and stories from my trip. xo

  4. What an adorable post!! I love St. Pattys day because it always falls on our spring break week which means getting a little too crazy on the beach with tons of green drinks which = green lips and tongues. Oh & fun green bikinis!! :) Safe travels back home, Julia!

  8. Seriously chuckled when I read this post! You're so funny! That and you made an entire post about gold things (all of which I need) and justified it with Leprechauns. Dying in laughter.

  12. Since I stopped being obsessed with them in about 7th grade, I've thought peace signs were about the cheesiest thing in existence.

    . . . and then I saw that plate.
