Despite the cold temps and brutal wind, I had a fun-filled Monday. I took advantage of my day off and met my Mom for some shopping. We mostly just looked around, but I did come home with a new bra and a cheapy Target watch. I’ve always been into watches and tend to acquire them when I see funky and inexpensive ones. I also helped my Mom find a pair of skinny jeans! Well, they probably aren’t the kind you…

A girls lunch with my mom and probably the best seasonal risotto I’ve ever had A new shirt from the clearance rack Sunshine, a 60 degree day, and a clean apartment Opening this with friends momentarily Sweet Saturday…
Another year, another Labor day; it’s time for that post again. We all love fall clothes, and every year, I take peak at the new arrivals online, and I fall in love. This year? Not so much. I had to actually do some digging and searching to find pieces that felt new and different, and even the picks below don’t feel particularly fall-ish. Perhaps I’m getting too picky or perhaps I need to physically see and touch the items? I…
Today was loooong, but the beautiful weather made up for it. And, I snuck in a 5 minute nap on a grassy hill while the boy I babysit was off playing with his friends (shhhh). I got off work much later then usual, but managed to fit in a 20 minute jog and some pushups before collapsing at the table with a big bowl of cereal and a pb + j. I’ll be so glad when my long Wednesdays are…
If there’s any place for sequins, it’s the Jersey Shore… I mentioned that I’m going to the beach this weekend, but not just any beach…Atlantic City! I’ve actually never been to Vegas or gambled (with the exception of slots on cruises), so I’m excited to see what it’s all about. I cringe at the thought of handing over money in a casino, but since a co-worker taught me the basics of Craps, I might just give it a try.…
So, I left you guys hanging on a few things and I thought I’d give you an update. First, the running shoes issue. I actually took the Asics home with me and ran a mile on the treadmill. Something had changed. These aren’t the same shoes I’ve been running in for three years. They felt stiff and heavy:( So, I went back and brought home the Brooks!! They definitely feel different (in a good way), but I have yet to…
When I lived in North Carolina, I wasn’t a big fan of shopping the winter clearance racks because it was already time for spring clothes. But one advantage to living in a place where it snows in April, is when the winter clothes go on sale in February, there are still many months left to pile on the layers. Recently, I’ve gotten a few great deals on winter clearance items: Gap cardigan for $13.99, white Gap button-up for $9.99, and…
Hiya. How goes it? Work was blah – I’m feeling so tired these days and I’m having a hard time feeling motivated. I got eight hours of solid sleep, so I’m not really sure what it is. Perhaps it’s still the lingering effects of my cold? Anyway, in order to keep myself awake between arriving home from work and leaving for my spinning class at 5, I did a little summer bag browsing on le internet. I found a steal…
Since I had extra free time this week, I finally got the opportunity to peak into a few stores for a spring preview. I’m not quite ready to buy yet, and yall know I like to pre-shop so I make good choices. Though I saw lots of cute stuff, I actually wasn’t blown away by any of the spring collections. It’s probably because I didn’t go into Anthropologie or French Connection because I’ve learned that those two stores only leave me…
