Crop it! | STYLE ME FRIDAY

 Its the day we all look forward to....Friday!! Now all we need is a roof top pool and a margarita in hand to officially get this weekend started. The inspiration for this weeks Style Me Friday is the crop top. I paired mine with bright pants and shoes since the top is so basic. It shows just enough skin to still keep things classy

Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend :)

Summer Bucket '13

Happy Hump Daaaaay! Just as soon as the week started, its almost over and Im not complaining! I hope everyone had an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend.  Mine was filled with my favorite F words...fun and food of course, and I am definitely feeling the lack of sleep right now. But back to the Subject at hand....

I feel the best time to explore and try new things is during the summer. The weather is nice (most of the time), people have more free time and 9 out 10 theres some FREE event happening that needs to be taken advantage of. So without further ado, I present my summer bucket list.

I plan to add more but for now this will do. Whether what you plan to do is for the weekend or even just a day thing be sure to have fun and make it count! What are your plans for the summer?

Hugs and Love :)



Fitness Friday #9: workout playlist

Its Friday!! What better way to end your work week than with a little exercise. I know that sometimes if the music you listen to doesnt motivate you to run that extra mile or do that last set of squats then your workout wont feel as successful.

 
We all need that musical boost to get us through those workouts so I wanted to share mine with you! I use Spotify to build  different playlists for different moods including a workout playlist. 

I included songs that are somewhat upbeat and/or lyrically motivating. I usually run about a mile twice a week and the playlist is probably long enough for a 2.5 to 3 mile run at my pace. 

 I have spotify premium which is $10 a month for unlimited access and I think its def worth it especially for those people who arent able to get every new song that comes out and 9 out 10 spotify will have it. You can always use itunes or any other program in which you can create your own playlist specific for what you want. 

Have fun during your next workout! :)

Hugs and love

Weekend Recap

Hey Guys!!!

Since last Thursday I have been going non stop and now its finally time to breathe and of course share whats been happening! The stress of the entire weekend was a bit overwhelming but I made it through :)

Thursday night: Art and Soul restaurant for the rehersal dinner. I forgot to take pics while I was there but the food was amazing and even Art (Oprahs Chef and owner) stopped by our dinning room to have a quick chat. 

Friday Morning: Drove to Richmond for my little (not so little) brothers graduation from VCU!! Im so proud of him! Were getting old :(

Friday night: Rush back home (2 1/2 hr drive because of traffic) to get to my bff wedding!! YIKES I literally got home in enough time to breathe, eat a little something and then I was back out to help set up for the wedding.

I met this woman waaaay back when we were running around the playground in kindergarten haha and now 20+ years later shes walking down the aisle and Im glad that Im able to stand there beside her! We def had some ups and downs over the years but nothing could break our bond. 

Late friday night: after the wedding, after the i do's, after the eating, drinking, dancing, and more drinking we took a pic in the rain!  

L to R: groom, me, tee, bride in back, will, jordan

Alot more happened on Saturday and Sunday but I dnt have pics so I just shared the gist of it! I hope you all had a great weekend and mothers day!
