Pink Flamingo

Hi Lovelies!

Isn’t this bow the cutest thing you have ever seen? I was browsing around Instagram a few weeks ago and came across the cutest pictures of hair bows, so obviously I had to look them up on Etsy. Well, I got lucky and found the best bow ever. I mean, who doesn’t like pink flamingos?! I decided I needed to bring the pink back in my sweater and make it a bright little outfit since I am yearning for spring! Who else is with me? I am over not being able to wear sundresses and flip flops!

Get The Look:
Cardigan: VS Pink, Denim: H&M, Toms (The very same ones I wore at my wedding reception:)), Tank top: Kohls, Bracelets & Necklace: Charming Charlie, Sunglasses: Delia’s, Handbag: Nordstrom Rack, Hair Bow: Splendidbee

So, as you probably noticed in my pictures yesterday, I got side bangs. I loved them the first day (the day those pictures were taken) and have not been able to make them look the same since…<whomp whomp> Anyone have tips on how to style side bangs so that they don’t look awkward (such as in these pictures lol) Helppppp me!

Hi Lovelies!

Is anyone else dying of allergies right now? I don’t know what it is about this state, but my allergies KILL me all the time. Maybe it’s the fact that nothing ever dies because it doesn’t get cold enough. Well, whatever it is, It’s sooo bad. I’m going to take an allergy test on Monday, but the catch is that I can’t take any type of medication until then. So, don’t mind me…I’ll just be over here dying.

Today’s outfit is something I saw on Lulu’s instagram and bought about 5 minutes later. I don’t care if it goes out of style next fall, or 10 years from now….I love aztec print.

Sweater: Lulus.com, Denim: H&M, Combat Boots: Lulus.com, Tank top: Target, Necklace: Charming Charlie, Sunglasses: Aldo, Purse: Kate Spade from Nordtrom Rack

I Run Because I Really, Really, REALLY Like Dessert

Hi Lovelies!

I know it has been a LONG time since I have posted about working out. Pretty sure the last time was here when I showed you my awesome new work out shirt here…but a lot has happened since then!If you follow along on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, you already know that one of my best friends and I are going to be running a half marathon in April! We have been talking about it for a few months and started running back in November…we didn’t sign up until this last week because we wanted to make sure that we were in good enough shape to start training.Lol! I was told that you should be able to run 3 miles a few times a week before you can start your training, and we are definitely there AND getting so much better! We have even made our very own half marathon training schedule!

I am so amazed at how much stamina I have built up. I can run for 45 minutes straight, burning over 600 calories and still keep going! It’s really crazy how I have turned from someone who hates running into that girl who would rather run than go on the elliptical! I have been MUCH better about eating healthy (minus the holidays lol), but I could still do better. I have to say though, that is part of the reason I run. I run so that I can have an ice cream or that mac & cheese with bacon:) I also run for the sweet gear! Yes, I know…typical girlie me. These are some of the awesome work out clothes I have accumulated over the past few months.

Pitch Perfect Tank: Gift for Christmas, I can get more details though if you want them
Keep Calm Tank: Target

Ruffle Work Out Capris: Albion Fit, you may remember these from Instagram

New Balance Shoes: DSW
Shoe Charm: Kansas City Kreations via Groopdealz

Those pants are the most comfy pants EVER and I would highly recommend them. I Googled a promo code for the website and got them for 20% off.

Is anyone out there running a race this year? Any advice for a beginner like me?!

Anchors And Stripes And Bows Oh My!

Hi Lovelies!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We had a friend come in to town with her fiance last minute, so we hung out with them all day Saturday…doing the general Saturday day drinking types of things:) Sunday was relaxing, even though I was supposed to do about a million things…I got probably one of them done. I think I’m okay with that though:) I’m definitely getting better at just letting things go and living life as it comes, instead of freaking out when I don’t do all 15 things on my to do list for the weekend. It’s going to be a good year, I can tell already:)

Now let’s talk about the outfit. This sweater was on the mannequin right when I walked into Charming Charlie and it was screaming my name. I don’t know about you….but bows are my thing right now. Add some stripes and an anchor, well that’s just perfection!

Get The Look:
Sweater: Charming Charlie, Denim: H&M, Boots: Charming Charlie, Crossbody: Charming Charlie, Necklace & Bracelets: Charming Charlie, Sunglasses: Aldo

I really love this whole look, the colors and the anchors make me want for it to be summer again. I guess I’ll have to settle for the 65-70 degree weather we’re supposed to have for at least the next 10 days. <sigh> Oh darn! Haha!

How was your weekend?

Friday Dealz: All About The Accessories

Hi Lovelies!

Today’s deals are all about accessorizing! If you know me, you know I LOVE my accessories. You also know I love a good deal….and you can’t beat accessories under $16!

This watch has got to be my favorite thing on Groopdealz right now. The only thing I don’t like is that I have to choose between mint chevron and gold polka dots! Maybe a little bit of both? Please?!

Chevron and Polka Dot Boyfriend Watches– $15.99

How cute is this scarf? I love the button closure on it….that will for sure keep it from coming undone and exposing your neck in those -13 temperatures that are sprouting up across the country! It’s already 65 degrees here in Texas, so I’m going to need to do some scheming to find a reason that I need this baby:)

Merino Wool Scarves– $12.00

So cute. That’s really all that I have to say….but I’ll say more:) These would look so cute peeking out of my camel colored boots! I already have some just like the cream ones, so I’m leaning more toward teal. A pop of color, anyone?

This post is sponsored by Groopdealz. All opinions are 100% my own…I would never endorse something I didn’t love myself:)
Cable Knit Lace Socks– $7.99
