bestie takeover

Can I just say one thing?
TGI freakin' F!
I'm a little bit beyond exhausted between school, work, blogging, and setting up shop.
Speaking of the shop, it opens on Monday!
As promised, while I'm going bracelet crazy over here I've got a very special guest filling in.
The one and only...................ELLEN! (aka, my real life besty)

For those of you that just got really excited, I'm sorry but I'm not best friends with Ellen Degeneres.
I am, however, besties with someone just as funny.
If you haven't read her blog, you must.
She's probably the most inappropriate person I know. And I absolutely love it.
She also has the biggest heart.
Oh, and she's beautiful and beyond hilarious.

Without further ado, Ellen!

hi there SF-ers!
that sounded weird... everytime i hear "SF" i think of san franscico.
so hi there san franciscans!

im ellen, brie's real life besty!
no, but really, we are.
i think everyone has a "blogging besty" or two (you know.... the bloggers who you would probably be besties with if distance wasn't an issue and you didn't meet on the internet), but brie and i have been friends since 15 years of age... WAAAY before the "blog/facebook/social media/lets get our stalk on" era.
the last time i was here, i talked a little about how meeting someone at the most awkward stage of your life pretty much means you are destined to be friends forever. and wouldn't you know it! brie loved me through the bad hair, braces, and awful choice in clothing... and here we are nearly 10 years later just as close!

do we look annoying?? because, we were theee most annoying 15 year olds you have probably ever met. that's another story for another guest post ;)

nine years later.. what a difference a decade can make. sheesh.

the great thing about being friends with brie is that our boyfriends are also pretty close. they have the same nerdy humor (sorry guys - we love you but it's true), the same 'treat your girlfriend like a lady/princess' mentality, and they both have a great taste in girls (ha, too easy). since colton is a mini-celeb around here, allow me to introduce to you - my brian.

brie and i are sooo lucky our boyfriends love one another's company. they are on the same ultimate frisbee team, and are just as big of chatterboxes on double dates as brie and i are. the lord knows our double date nights would be pretty brutal for brian and colton if they weren't able to talk about whatever guys talk about when they are on double dates. brie and i are usually in very deep conversations about blogging, RHONY, and fashion to even notice the bromance.

since all of you loooove my blee so much, then i know youll love me too. head on over to my blog This Hive and say hi! i have a $50 shabby apple giveaway going on until October 3rd also! i can't wait to meet you because any friend of brie's is a friend of mine... literally.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend :)
Now go say hi to Ellen!

P.S. Elle Belle, I'm totally getting you back for that photo of me in the puka shell necklace.
