Stripes and Floral

Black and white striped dress with booties and a scarf Monday is upon us again. <sigh> I spent the weekend cleaning for my best friend to come in to town from Houston next weekend, watching the Harry Potter marathon on ABC Family, and recovering for a bout of bronchitis. A Z pack and an inhaler later and I might ACTUALLY make it to all of my bootcamp classes this week. No promises though;-) I’m really bummed, because my trainer has put in her 2 weeks notice and this will be her last week teaching bootcamp! She was part of the reason I loved it so much and I am really sad to see her go:( I’m hoping they find someone to take over or else bootcamp may be over! I have been seeing all sorts of Groupon deals for work out activities lately though, so maybe I will try a few of those for the remainder of the fall/winter and then start an outdoor bootcamp again in the spring. All I know is that I need to continue with working out, especially now that the BF and I have signed up for our SECOND half marathon!Black and white stripes with coral floral Floral and stripes with booties Striped dress with floral scarf- outfit inspiration Black and white stripes with a floral scarf Floral scarf with pearls on a striped dress Stripes and floral a great mix

This outfit is one I wore to work a week or two ago just after I got back from visiting my parents in Dallas. I had seen a couple cute black and white striped shift dresses at Target, but the shift style USUALLY doesn’t work on me. So, when I saw this one that actually had some shape to it, I knew I needed it! My Mom agreed that it was adorable, so I knew it was a winner. Let’s say, I have worn it to work twice in the two weeks I have owned it, and I don’t hate it one bit:) I love pattern mixing these days, so obviously I had to throw in a little floral there with the scarf, and let’s be honest, pearls go with everything so they were a must have as well! There you have it, today’s outfit!

Does anyone else out there have a really great work out program that they do along side the running when training for marathons? Let me know, because I would love to get a little variety in my work outs!

Finding My Motivation

Floral skirt with black topHi Lovelies!

I got this skirt on sale on Target.com and was SO excited that they had my size. Now, 2 months later, this is the first time I have worn it. I do this all the time! I get so excited for something and then when it comes in I ignore it for 2 months. Now, after wearing it, I don’t know why I waited so long! It’s so cute and the colors are so bright and fun!

Time is flying by way too quickly these days! I feel like it was yesterday that I was in Galveston running my half marathon, but it was more than a month ago! That being said, that month has been really bad for me in terms of working out and eating right. Every time I see someone running through my neighborhood I get all antsy to go for a run, and I am determined that this is the week I will get back on the horse and stay there! I haven’t been terrible, but I have definitely NOT been good! It’s starting to get pretty hot here in Austin, so I m going to have to start going on my runs before work when it is still cooler outside.

How do y’all find the motivation to wake up in the early morning and take a run (or go to the gym)?!

Little Leopard Touches

Black and denim and leopard keds

Hi Lovelies!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! My sister and her family from Dallas came to stay with us on their way to Sea World. Wes and I babysat for the little baby all day Saturday and he is such a perfect little angel. If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you probably saw the photos of little Mr. Carter from this weekend.  It was so cute to watch Wes with the baby, and I think he had a lot of fun playing Uncle Wes for the weekend. One of the many reasons to love my husband, he’s going to be a fantastic dad someday. Don’t worry for all of you family members out there reading this and having a mild heart attack, it will be a long while. I got my baby fever out this weekend with my sister’s little ones:)

On to the outfit! This dress (also seen here) is so comfortable and you can do pretty much anything with it. You all know my favorite print to throw into a plain, casual outfit (or any outfit really) is leopard and these shoes are my new favorites. I actually fell in love with some just like them that Shanna had on her blog a few weeks back, but they were so expensive. So, I went on a hunt for some cheaper ones and found these babies at Target. They are only $16.99 and they are really comfortable so I definitely would suggest ordering them:) I can’t wait to wear them like Shanna styled them with a cute t-shirt, fedora, and shorts!
