for the home.

While my shopping lately has consisted of picking up stuff for G's office, of course I've also managed to find a few items for our home too.  I mean, I'm only "window" shopping for our home at this point (it's already feeling a little crowded in here), but these items are making it hard for me to resist their beauty.  I've had my eye on that mirror for what seems like years...isn't it amazing?

the girl's section.

If you follow me on instagram then you already know about this little deal, but I just had to share the bargain of the year with the rest of you.  I found this tassel-sleeve dress in the girl's section at old navy for $8.  Yes, $8!  It's selling online for $18, which is also a great deal...but run to your local store to see if you can find it at the lower price.  And a lot of people were asking me about sizing.  I bought an XL for the length (I'm 5'8"), but if you are shorter you can definitely go with a smaller size.  It's pretty baggy.  Uhhhh hello, and cinco de mayo is this weekend.  Wouldn't this be the perfect little dress to wear to a party this Sunday?  I think YES!

wrap it up.

For those days when my hair is not cooperating I either reach for a hat or a headwrap.  Something to quickly throw on to look somewhat pulled together and to catch any flyaways.  I even love grabbing one of my favroite scarves and tying it into a makeshift wrap.

breakfast.

Truth: I'm not really a breakfast eater.  I know, I know...breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  I'm trying to be better about it, but when I wake up eating is the last thing I feel like doing.  Ummmm, especially since I eat lunch around 11:30am, no joke.  So I'm slowly but surely working on it.  One of my favorite light breakfast meals has been greek yogurt with a bit of honey.  So so so good and hey, it doesn't require me to actually "cook" anything...score!

lashes + curls.

Sometimes I get in a little beauty rut.  Meaning, I wear my hair much the same every single day and my makeup rarely changes.  But I think I'm ready to shake things up.  I'm dreaming of bolder eyes.  Some longer lashes and a slight cat eye.  And I'm seriously loving this girl's full.big.curly.messy hair.  I'm usually not one for big hair, but this style is blowing my mind.  Ummmm hello pretty!

spring is definitely here.

I picked up these 2 items last week and thank goodness cause they ended up being in constant rotation this weekend.  From a little photoshoot (can't wait to show the photos from Melanie), a night out with friends, and a sunday funday bbq in the most gorgeous weather....these little gems kept me feeling cool in the spring sunshine.

yay, it's friday.

It's been quite the week around here and I'm very much looking forward to slowing down a bit this weekend.  I have some work to finish up (I'm helping with a fun photo shoot next week) and we have lots of plans to hang with friends.  Hope you all have a good one and find a little time to lie on the grass and soak in some nice weather.

my wedding dress.

Every year on our anniversary I wear my wedding dress out to dinner.  It is so.much.fun to be able to wear my dress over and over again.  I'm super happy that I decided to go with a short dress so that I can sport it out without a second glance from anyone.  I wish all of my girlfriends and I could host a garden party so they too could wear their wedding dresses out again one more time.  I swear, it totally takes you back to that moment where you marry your love...and what an amazing moment that was and will always be.  So, here are pics of our anniversary nights throughout the years (and please forgive the phone pics).

 

three.

Today marks three years of marriage (and 13 years together...wowza)!  I seriously can't believe I ended up with this guy.  It's hard for me to write in words how very much he means to me.  The last three years have brought some rough times our way, but also some of the most incredibly amazing times of our lives.  He is beloved by all, especially my family who is constantly talking about how sweet and wonderful he is (uhhhhhh hello, I used to be the nice one in my family, but apparently that title now lies with my hubby).  G, love you, love your show!
