Remember my search for the perfect spring skirts a couple of weeks ago? (the shopping trip that was a fail.)Well, today a pretty little coupon landed in my inbox from Ann Taylor for 40% off of your entire purchase. It's a sign! I'm glad I didn't find anything on that shopping trip because not only will there be more merchandise now, but now it's ...
OOTD- Wearing Navy & Staying on Track
I always watch (or rather listen) to the Today Show when I get ready for work every morning.I wake up at 7 or 7:15 a.m., turn on my TV, turn the volume way up and listen to the latest news as I shower, style my hair and apply my makeup (it makes me feel like I'm starting my day knowing the top headlines...plus, I feel totally scared when I'm alone ...
A Bad Day & Bronzing Products I Love
Well ladies, I have some sad news to share. I got my first ticket today. Ever. The police officers were right at my street corner pulling people over. I am not sure how I was "speeding" since I was slowing down to make a right turn, but I guess they needed to make their end of month budget. Ugh. So upset.I cried for like an entire hour after it ...
Target Fitting Room Reviews: Random Selections
Before going on a long walk today with Candice, I went to Target to pick up some groceries. Of course I stopped in the clothing section while there and tried a few things on.I'll show you what I got first (and by the way ladies, Target has LOTS of super cute swimwear right now!)I got this swim cover-up for $17.99. It is super soft and flowy. It ...

OOTD: Still Wearing Tights
It's still cold in the mornings here (well, let's be honest, I'm always cold, so anything below mid 70's feels freezing to me.) I still have a space heater at my desk and use it daily. Everyone in my office likes different temperatures so I've learned the only way I can be comfortable is by having an awesome space heater. My boss got it for me this ...

Home Decor: Inspiration & What Styles Appeal to You?
Before I begin my intended post, I wanted to share with you all a blog I saw posted today called Pale is the New Tan. If you EVER needed yet another reason not to use tanning beds (or O.D. on self-tanner, for that matter) this is the site for you (and it's also good for a laugh for pretty much anyone...unless...uh, you're featured on the site or ...
Loving Now: Shorts with Pumps- “The Hills” Stars Show Us How to Wear It (& How Not To)
I've seen some celebs lately pairing shorts with loose tops and pumps. I am absolutely loving this look. It makes legs look superlong and when paired with a loose top it doesn't look trashy (it can definitely look a bit trashy if you pair it with the wrong top, if the shorts are skintight or if the rest of your "look" is overdone.) I've seen girls ...
Weekend Shopping: If You’re Looking For Something, That’s When You Won’t Find It
I was so looking forward to my shopping trip today. I woke up, took an Excedrin and started my day with all of the hope in the world to find the perfect skirts for spring. And then it happened. It always happens when I set out to buy something specific. I don't ever end up finding what I'm looking for. It's like Murphy's Law. Every time I set out ...
