This Weeks Dealz Early!

Hi Lovelies!

I will be playing hooky from blog world tomorrow, so I am going to give you my dealz of the week early. Better get to these dealz quickly before they are all gone!

I think this tunic is ABSOLUTELY stunning. Yellow is one of my favorite colors, and chiffon just makes anything look ten times prettier! It would look great with a pair of skinny jeans or leggings and some ballet flats.
Golden Hour Studded Tunic– $17

Please don’t kill me, but I have yet to buy a maxi skirt. I have plenty of the dresses, but not one skirt. I think it’s about time for me to invest, and this striped one is SO cute. It would even look great with that yellow and white tunic tucked into it!
Striped Maxi Skirt– $13

Every girl need a little faux leather in her life.
Diagonal Zip Faux Leather Jacket– $25

Scratch the Surface

“They” say fashion is superficial, but would those same people say the same thing if they had no clothes? Or if they had to wear ugly clothes? Chances are “they’d” be singing a different tune. Whether you call it vanity, shallowness, superficiality, the truth is we all need fashion to get through the day… so is it really so superfluous? We think not! This week we have a load of great posts that get to the essentials of style, from styling that plaid shirt literally 50 ways to becoming more confident to concealing those pesky under eye circles (because you know, you do need to look your best!)

Lace and Cowboy Boots + Allergy Craziness

Hi Lovelies!

I am so excited by how nice it has been here in Texas the past couple of days! It was 80 degrees yesterday, and you can bet I was running around with no coat on soaking up that sunshine! It was such a nice day I just had to take some pictures:) It’s going to be a little colder than 80 the rest of the week, but I will take my 60s and 70s over that polar vortex any day! Lol!

Get The Look:
Lace Top: Delias’s, Tank Top: Target, Denim: H&M, Boots: Francesca’s, Handbag: Charming Charlie, Bracelet: Charming Charlie, Sunglasses: Aldo, Flower: Forever 21, Necklace: I don’t even remember:)

So, yesterday was the big allergy test. Oh my goodness was it awful! First they bring out 6 panels that have 10 prickers on them. Each pricker has an allergen on it and they rub them into your inner arms so that it “scratches” your arm. Then they make you sit for 20 minutes while your arms feel as though they are on fire and itch like CRAZY! After you wait for what seems like 5 years for them to come back, they measure how big all of the welts are. This is where they decide which ones you reacted to and get shots ready for each one. So here’s the great part: They test you for 60 allergens…..<drumroll> I tested positive for 57 of them. Which meant I had to get a shot 57 TIMES! Yes, you heard me correctly, I had 57 shots yesterday. I now have bruised track marks to show off to all of my lovely coworkers and gym mates. Worst experience ever. Well, I guess now I know I am allergic to everything. No really…cockroaches, mice, cats, dogs…every tree, weed, mold, and grass ever. I guess that’s why I feel like crap ALL year round. Lol.

Running Pink

Hi Lovelies!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I was in Dallas visiting the parents for my Momma’s birthday. We had a really great dinner at Buca Di Beppo and took a couple of hikes with the puppies:) If you take away the fact that my eyes swelled up and I couldn’t breathe due to allergies, it was a great weekend! Lol! I am so grateful my appointment with the allergist is tomorrow…it’s time to take some meds!

On to today’s post! This is a fashion blog. Fashion is what I love and it always will be, but given my new found love for running I wanted to incorporate it into the blog a little bit:) Not every day, not even every week, but when I feel like talking about it I’m going to! My blog, my rules, right? So, as most of you know, I am running a half marathon with my best friend in April and we are ROCKIN’ it! We’re training hard and eating well and it’s really paying off! I have to say, one thing I have noticed is that having awesome new gear always makes me want to train even harder. If you were here last week, you saw some of my awesome new work out gear, and a lot of you have seen the sparkle tank too….but you know me, the shopaholic, I am always looking for new “motivation”. Yeah, pretty sure I found it. are these not the cutest sports bras ever? And those headbands! Ahhh! I need it all. Don’t be surprised if you see any of this stuff popping up in my Instagram feed soon…I do have a gift card to VS after all:)

What motivates you to train mean?
