I think this is my most exciting Motivation Monday...ever! My gorgeous friend Maja was the first to ever be featured in Motivation Mondays and for more than a year, I begged her incessantly to start a blog. Maja is a huge inspiration to me because in addition to living an extremely healthy lifestyle (she and her husband even grow their own ...
Sunday Snaps
Sundays tend to be lazy days for me, but today was full of cleaning. I have been on a cleaning/organization kick lately so I feverishly go through the house and clean and organize everything in my path. Now, I'm taking a break and relaxing before I hit the gym for a workout (as if cleaning vigorously wasn't enough!) I love a nice, ...
Weekend Shopping & Brow Planing at Michael Kemper Salon
I've had the busiest Saturday, but I LOVE being productive, so I'm not complaining. I woke up, had a bowl of Fruit Loops (don't judge) and cup of coffee and then I got ready and had H shoot a few outfits for a fall trends story I'm working on with CultureMap. After that, I dropped off my husband at this fantasy football draft and ...
Stripes & Lace
I absolutely adore my recent purchase of the rugby stripe boatneck tops from J.Crew. Though someone told me they are dry clean only (I didn't notice when I got them) I can get a few wears out of them before I have to send them away for cleaning. I love the way the bold, thick stripes look. Today I paired the preppy top with lace and ...
Bright Into Fall
It's still summer and it's still hot and I'm milking that for all it's worth. That means wearing as much white, bright and neon as I can before I start getting weird looks (though, thankfully, the fall color palette is full of brights so I'll be able to carry a lot of my items over). When I was getting dressed this morning I wanted to wear a ...
Baubles & Bubbles
My bubble necklaces from GroopDealz finally came in after a long wait, but I'm thrilled with them. They really dress up a tee and add something fun to an outfit. I wore my turquoise bubble necklace today with a simple gray tee just to show what an impact it makes---and I paired it with simply black slim dress pants, a skinny gold belt ...
Stripe Addict
Sale alert! The J.Crew top I'm wearing in this photo is final sale plus 30% off! Get yours here. I absolutely love stripes. They can really add fun dimension to an outfit and are totally office-appropriate. This wider stripe is a fun change from my typical skinnier stripes. When it comes to stripes, variety is key. ...
Motivation Mondays: Jamie Gives Us the Lowdown on CrossFit
A couple of months ago I blogged about CrossFit and how my husband and I tested out a class. In the end, it wasn't for us, but one of the reasons I was inspired to try it in the first place was because of my friend Jamie. Jamie and her husband have been doing CrossFit for awhile now and because I like to share a variety of different Motivation ...
Sunday Snaps: The Workout That Never Happened
I had the laziest Sunday of all time. I got out of bed and then proceeded to lounge around until about 1PM when I realized I had late lunch plans with some of my blogging friends (hi Magen, Mishelle & Bethany!). I got ready and even threw on my workout clothes so I could head to the gym after our late lunch for a good Sunday ...
Saturday Snaps & J.Crew Fitting Room Photos
This afternoon, we went to the Apple store to pick up my MacBook Air and get it all set up and that's where I'm blogging from right now. It's been a major adjustment for me but overall I am getting the hang of it (sort of). I thought that having the close/minimize/maximize buttons on the opposite side would be my largest issue, but it's moreso ...
