Making Up Is Fun To Do

Hello, hello. Guess what?

I got called into work on Saturday, which somehow I knew was going to happen!
Whatevs. I made some money and only ended up a little late for the BBQ. This particular event was in honor of our friends that are PCS'ing {military move}, so essentially it was a going away party. There was a great turn out, lots of AMAZING food, and many many shenanigans. Let's just say...some of the guys are not going to be in great shape for work on Monday. Good thing we did it on Saturday and not Sunday.



The truck with the grill in the back may or may not be one of our vehicles...

I didn't take a ton of pictures because the temperature was dropping quick, but I took the girls on a walk to the back of the park where we usually go, and love these:

I went to the gym and ran errands on Sunday, so to be honest Will and I didn't get much time together. That is never good for us, and especially not when we are both stressed. He has a big test this week and I have a million things going on, so the last thing we needed was time apart. It put us both on edge, and ended up becoming a little thing on Sunday.

I know there is a problem when "Aww he rolled over onto me" turns into "If he throws his arm over me one more time...", waking up before the coffee pot starts puts me in a mood, and weekends are full of more work. Luckily, we don't know how to be mad at each other anymore, so we had just enough of a thing that we got to have make up sex and then make dinner. Not gonna lie...it was worth it ;) Even now...he just punched me in the boob while rolling over in his sleep and it's back to cute.

What isn't cute is that my legs seem to be getting worse instead of better. I seriously have no idea what is wrong with them, but after a few recovery days, switching to the elliptical, heating packs, and tlc, they STILL ache. Unfortunately, there is no break until after this weekend, so I am running on. So far, it doesn't hurt while I'm working out, so I don't feel the need to stop, but I know that I am going to have to give myself more recovery time after this week. I am straight up addicted to running, but a break is going to be necessary to continue. Wow. Never thought those words would come out of my mouth.

If you need some inspiration, visit Jess for running tips from the anti-expert, and as Erica says, Just do it. Yes, I know Nike says it too, but her thought process backs it up ;)

Linking up with Sami today!

I Think I Rocked Those Knee High Boots

Woah. Two fashion posts in one week?
I'm sensing a trend here, or perhaps just a phase. We shall see.

I'm not gonna lie, I donned the outfit and waffled between loving it and feeling scared of judgement. I'm not normally the one to care what other people think, but this was a daring shoe choice. As such, I tried to dress conservatively up top to balance it out, and I think I achieved that. I didn't get any side glances that I saw, I got a lot of compliments {mostly in the restroom}, and Will liked them. We were celebrating our anniversary, so his opinion was the most important.

Now I'd like to know...what do you think?

Leather Jacket and Peplum top: TJ Maxx || Skirt: Forever 21 || Boots: ASOS

It's funny, if I didn't have a blog, I would have probably saved these for Halloween and most certainly wouldn't have had the balls to rock'em with this outfit. Somehow I feel that blogging gives me an excuse to push the limits, a chance to learn more about my own style, and the inspiration to try it all.

Everyone have a good weekend and push some fashion limits! We only have a BBQ planned, so I probably won't, but hey...you never know. I just hope that I don't get called in to work. That would be nice...

Let's Play A Game...

In this game, you skip through Pinterest and pick every 10th, 20th, or whatever-eth pin on the "Pinners You Follow Page" and share them on your blog. You can share non-bloggers, but I chose to show pins from bloggers, so that I could shout them out and send them some love. Enjoy the pins, the bloggers, and the connections!

If it weren't for Holly, I wouldn't know that LC had a blog. I'm not sure why, but I kinda love Miss Conrad, and am quite flattered when people say she's my doppleganger. It only makes sense that I follow her blog! I also checked out this bikini boot camp, and it is pretty spot on. Check it.

Pamela showed me how wrong I have been living. But...er...I don't wanna be right. You see, I AM the person that walks around with an umbrella in case it rains. I also carry clippers, a nail file, tweezers, I have extra sweaters and sunglasses in the truck, iPhone charger, gym bag, etc., and I am that person that everyone goes to when they need something, because they know I will have it. I blame it on my old gypsy ways of living out of my car in college, but either way it stuck. I am comfortable knowing that I'm prepared.

Helene makes me miss the beach! I NEED this in my life. How 'bout we plan a blogger vacay instead of a conference? I think Helene and I could plan a bad@ss trip ;)

Tiffany is always an inspiration, and the following resonated with me. You can apply it to all aspects of life, but it's the most helpful for me in the gym.

Shanna is a fashion expert to us all, so I love when her outfits pop up on Pinterest. It's like she's a celebrity, and she's gorgeous from the inside out!

And one of the best parts about Pinterest is bloggers supporting bloggers. Samantha is in a little contest {vote because it's easy and she's cute} and Jessica repinned her to help her out. Great sisterhood, ladies! I applaud you.

If y'all play along let me know, so that I can check it out. I'm always happy to find new bloggers and pinners to follow. Pinning party!!

Spring Appropriate...Finally

Since y'all were so kind yesterday, it is fashion time!

I actually feel like I cheated, because this outfit took five minutes to throw together. I had recently purchased the shorts so I grabbed 'em, snagged the first top that caught my eye, and miraculously an outfit was born. I LOVED the overlay that the top had and felt like it offset the high waist.

The bag that I carried was purchased from Just Fab, my new go-to for shoes and accessories, and the new boots are from Zulily. The boots are usually over $100, and I paid $12. Baller!



I like Just Fab because everything is $39.95, and even though it's a membership it costs you nothing. I like Zulily because they basically buy products in bulk, and pass the discount on to the customers. Both seem pretty genius to me, and have already won me over with quite a few deals that come straight to my inbox.

What fun online sites do you shop from?
