Hey peeps! Happy Wednesday! I thought it would be fun to do another “Lately” post to share what I’ve been up to 🙂
Watching: Sons of Anarchy (again), Bachelor in Paradise, and Chasing Life. SOA is Cody’s favorite show and since it’s on Netflix instant streaming, we’ve been watching it again. Bachelor in Paradise…I really want Ashley I. and Jared to work. I don’t think it will, but I actually really like Ashley I. so I want her to find love. And as far as Chasing Life goes, don’t watch it unless you want to cry. I should have known it would be sad because it’s a show about a 20-something girl who gets cancer, but I was not prepared for the sadness that happens in the middle of season 2.
Reading: Paper Towns. It’s an easy read (in regards to the writing style), but still really good. I like books that have either a love story or mystery, and this has both. Now I want to watch the movie 🙂 Side note: When I buy books that are also movies, I refuse to buy the copy with the actors on it. Does anyone else do that?
Listening to: Crash and Burn by Thomas Rhett, Marvin Gaye by Charlie Puth feat Meghan Trainor, and Tear In My Heart by Twenty One Pilots.
Eating: In-N-Out and Jamba Juice. We’re remodeling our kitchen and we’ve had a few set backs, so this makes week 5 with no kitchen. Having no kitchen makes it hard to cook dinner, so we’ve been eating out a lot. I’m starting to get sick of eating out though and can’t wait to have a fully functioning kitchen so I can start cooking again. In case you were wondering (which you’re probably not), at In-N-Out, I get a hamburger ketchup only + fries (I’m a super picky eater), and at Jamba Juice, I get a mega mango smoothie with spinach, double blended.
Wearing: This top, these jeans, and this lace bra. They’re all so comfortable! I’ve worn them together and with other items. They’ve been my go-to lately.
Using: VSCOcam and Snapchat. I know I’m probably way late in discovering VSCOcam, but I just downloaded the app a couple weeks ago and love it for editing my Instagram pictures. Also, Snapchat (follow me: elementsofellis) is quickly becoming my favorite social media. It’s right up there with Instagram.
Thinking: About how I’m going to decorate our living room once we finish with the kitchen remodel (which should be done by the end of this week! Yay!).
Wanting: To find the perfect corner TV stand for our living room (the one that’s open to the kitchen). Our decor is whites, greys, and tans, and we’re going for a rustic, modern feel. Any suggestions? We have an antique chest that we’re thinking about painting, but since it’s an antique, I don’t know if we should paint it.
Loving: Cody. Awe! That answer is so mushy I just about gagged. lol. I’m not a mushy-gushy person, so it’s not like me to be all, “Oh, my husband is so wonderful! Blah, blah, blah.” But Cody has been working super hard on our kitchen and downstairs bathroom remodel + he’s been working a ton at work (he’s put in like 14 hour days and he’s worked weekends), so he deserves a little extra love, don’t you think? Oh, and I’ve also been loving my new snakeskin booties! Let’s get real, they might even be beating out Cody and all his hard work for my number one love. Jk. Sorta 😉
What have you been up to lately? Any new things I should try or watch or listen to or…?
XO, Kacie

Yay for being almost done with your kitchen! Ours was exhausting and seemed to be non-stop! You look adorable!
Our is so exhausting too! Especially for Cody because he’s tore out our old kitchen, he did all the electrical stuff, and we painted our cabinets ourself. I can’t wait for it all to be complete by the end of this week!
VSCO is awesome, love this post.

Lol. I’m glad I’m not the only one who hates those covers 🙂
Omg, Chasing Life was SHOCKING!! Ugh, so sad but so good! How exciting about your kitchen remodel! You might check Joss and Main for a rustic-ish TV stand – they have all the best stuff! 🙂

I was absolutely shocked! I didn’t see that coming at all and was seriously sad the rest of the day. I wanted to just go back in time and quit watching the show right before the sadness happens. lol. I will check Joss and Main. We bought our dining table from them but I haven’t looked there for a tv stand. Thanks for the suggestion!
I definitely discovered VSCOcam a little late too, probably around the same time as you, so don’t feel bad! And I hate buying the books with the movie cover! They look so much better with the classic covers. I’ve thought about reading Paper Towns. You’ll have to share your thoughts when you finish!

Better late than never, right? 🙂 I definitely think you should read Paper Towns. I’ve read a little over half and love it. Most of the time, I get really sleepy when I read books, but this one is keeping me awake so it’s gotta be good 🙂
Perfect outfit — all black is my favorite. The draping on your top is beautiful!

Girl, it’s still so good! You need to come eat some again soon!
I heart you Kacie !! too cute !

Awe! I heart you too Monic! <3
I like Ashley I too! I doubt the Jared thing is gonna work since he seems incredibly checked out. I know he wanted to meet Jade at the beginning so maybe since she’s off the market he’s just all about the free vacay and not so much the ladies. & that last part in the “loving” section is just too cute!

Yeah, you’re probably right about Jared. He doesn’t really seem too interested in making any love connection with anyone. But I’m still holding out hope for him and Ashley. lol.
Ah we just dealt with kitchen renovations and eating takeout for a month! But now the kitchen looks nice. 🙂

I just finished The Girl on the Train? Have you read it? I liked it! Lots of twists and turns… similar to Gone Girl, kind of. And I feel you on the home front… we’re still working on our house, two years later. It’s never ending! But, it’s so much fun re-decorating (when you can decide what you want). I’m all over the Rustic/Modern feel right now too!
I’ve found… we’re a lot a alike. At least I think so. haha!
Yes, it’s the book I read right before I started reading Paper Towns. I really liked it too! I got my mom and sister reading it now 🙂 I haven’t read Gone Girl. I watched the movie but I wish I would have read the book first because now I’m not as motivated to read the book since I saw the movie.
I’m glad you like the rustic/modern feel too since you’re an inheritor designer and kinda an expert on home decor 🙂
It does seem like we have a lot in common. I’m pretty sure we’d be friends if we lived closer 😉
YES to Bachelor In Paradise!! So much drama, I love it 🙂

That photo of you. Stop being so gorgeous. I totally wish we had an In-N-Out. Although it might be dangerous for me… I never got into SOA, but I have heard great things about it.

I love this post! So exciting that your kitchen is almost done. It’s gonna feel so good to make a home cooked meal. I’m excited to see pictures 🙂
Be mushy all you want! Husbands deserve praise when they’re awesome 😉
OMG! I so want Ashley & Jared to work too!! She’s gorgeous yet so awkward with dudes… that show is so addicting. Great blog post Kacie!

I love how simple and chic your outfit is! Very gorgeous! Netflix is pretty much one of the best things invented. 😉
