Happy Monday, friends!! Another weekend bites the dust and I had a great time in Charlotte, as always. It was definitely feeling like fall and we had sunshine and gorgeous weather both days. However, at night it got down into the 50’s… brrrr! Thank goodness I live in the south. Anyways, here is a little recap of my weekend:
Of course October is known for all things orange, but another color also comes to mind- pink! I was in the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority in college and our philanthropy is breast cancer education and awareness. Whether it was handing out pink ribbons at a Panthers game, collecting Yoplait pink lids, or hosting a golf tournament, we were always busy doing everything we could to “think pink.” It’s been a few years since I ran in Race for the Cure, so I was excited to participate this year with the girls and our boyfriends. We were on Logan’s work team and she did a great job organizing everything (including bringing big bows for our hair).
Running in Race for the Cure is a great way to support the cause of breast cancer education and awareness, but you may also see lots of pink floating around in stores this month. Some companies will even donate some of the proceeds to the Susan G. Komen foundation so be sure to keep an eye out. Here are some of my favorite pink items for October!
Saturday night was date night, complete with dinner and a movie! Nothing beats spending time with my guy and I’m seriously looking forward to November because I’ll get to be back in Charlotte for 2 whole months!!! Anyways, date night started with stuffing our faces with sushi then we headed to the Epicenter to see Gone Girl. I love Ben Affleck so I figured it would be good. I didn’t read the book or anything, but I love a good psychological thriller. If you haven’t seen it already then put it on your to-watch list because it definitely has some crazy twists. (Ps. I also got pretty excited when the 50 Shades and Hunger Games trailers came on… who’s with me??).
I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and enjoyed the crisp fall weather. As for me, it’s back to work for the next three days (including one overnight shift.. eek!). Now, off to make some coffee!
Good job on the run!! 🙂

So much fun!! I can't wait to go see gone girl!! I read the book and heard it's almost dead on the book which I love!
Ahhh! That movie sounds sooo creepy! I still haven't read the book, but I'll probably go and see the movie first anyways!
You looked so cute for date night! Love the J. Crew vest 🙂
Great work on your run – and for such an excellent cause! And I am just loving all of your pink goods! I think I really need that sweater from J.Crew. XO

I love the outfit you wore on Saturday night! I am a huge supporter of breast cancer research; my aunt passed away when I was in high school from bresast cancer. Hope you're having a great week! xo
I walked in the Breast Cancer walk in Raleigh this past weekend as well – such a great cause and I am so glad to see all the awareness on your page!
