Weekend Update…Cozy AF Edition

This post contains affiliate links.

Remember on Friday’s blog post when I talked about being off work all weekend and not having any plans and wanting to be a lazy bum ll weekend?? Well that didn’t exactly happen, I did do some fun things but most importantly I got COZY AF. I got myself a new robe, new slippers, new leggings and a super fuzzy blanket and took some pretty epic naps. Overall I would say I had a pretty awesome weekend.

On Friday morning when I got off work I got my hair cut! I chopped off all the blonde ends and went back dark. It’s pretty short (for me) but I can still pull it back in a ponytail and it just feels so much healthier! I think the blonde fried it over time and my head just feels lighter. I am seriously loving it!

Friday night I went to the Miss UCA (University of Central Arkansas) pageant to watch a co-worker’s daughter compete and I got so many questions about the cardigan I wore-

mascara | cardigan | black tee | necklace | lip color (chunky cherry)

…it’s from Chic Soul and here is a screen shot from their website so you can see the whole thing. It’s super warm and it has pockets! I also find that it runs pretty true to size. It comes in mocha (the one I’m wearing, mostly brown) and taupe (just like mine but the main color is a cream/white).

Chic Soul is one of my favorite online boutiques and I have ordered so many cute tops from them recently!! Check them out!!

Here is another look at my haircut from Sunday aka the next day that I left my house. I seriously love how easy it is to wash and how quick it is to style!!

mascara | lip color  (pudgy peony) | black tee | gray sherpa vest

OK, ok enough about my hair. HA! But if you are looking for some comfy/cozy cardis and vest then you have to check out the ones I mentioned above. They kept me warm when it was freezing cold outside this weekend.

And speaking of comfy/cozy I went Sam’s Club with a friend on Saturday and walked away with one of the coziest blankets I have ever seen!! It was only $14.98 and it’s HUGE! It also comes in a lot of different colors so there is one for every decorating style. I got the cream/white one with a taupe/brown border and it looks super cute on my couch!

The only downside is that I took a nap in black leggings and a black tee and woke up covered in cream/white fuzzies…LOL!!

And as you can see, Sophie is a huge fan of our new blanket as well!! I may have to fight her for it…LOL!!

And as I mentioned earlier in this post I grabbed a new pair of house shoes while I was out and about this weekend. Ever since I moved into my apartment I have just been wearing a pair of flip flops around my house but my feet have gotten COLD so I knew I needed a pair of real house shoes and these are super cute as well as super cozy so I call that a WIN!!

I mean…sequins and fur? YES PLEASE!!! Plus they are under $25!!

So that was my COZY AF weekend, I hope you had a pretty awesome weekend yourself!!

What did you do this past weekend??

    I think I need a blanket LOL. It looks so warm and fluffy. You did a great job of relaxing of the weekend. If I can go to the store in miles words of warm fluffy things to cuddle under I think that’s a great way to have an epic nap.

    Your hair looks fantastic, and I love the red lippy! Also, I love my house shoes, and I don’t care if anyone thinks they look like an old lady. They are warm and fuzzy and perfect for cold winter mornings!

    Cozy house shoes are a must in the winter, especially if you don’t have carpet. And that blanket looks super cozy too.

    First, your hair is gorgeous and the dark makes your complexion so creamy and pretty! Next, I adore that blanket. Does it have a lot of static? That’s what happens at our house.
