So, now that I ran the 10-Miler.....and possible blogger meet-up?

I think I'm finally starting to feel rested. I'm blogging on a weekend, which I never do...so I MUST feel better. After a hectic week, I'm so happy to just be lounging around my parent's house doing absolutely nothing. I was supposed to attend a Halloween party tonight- and be the most ghetto fab Antoine Dodson you'll ever see- but I'd rather my cold get completely better before I start gettin' all crazy and junk. haha

Have I thanked all of you who have supported me this entire time with my running? If not, thanks from the bottom of my heart! Training was tougher than the actual run- kinda weird how things surprise you. I feel like I could definitely run a 6k and another 10 miler now, no worries. I just better stretch better beforehand- and maybe rock my knee-brace. Ugh. Stupid knee. I hate you with all of my soul.

A few of you asked if I'll continue running- the answer is YES- albeit not as often. I miss P90X- can you believe that? It's time to focus on my weight loss/fitness again and damn I miss that kick ass strength training- nothing changes my body more than working out with weights, so for the next few months my fitness focus will include P90X with only a few cardio days- which WILL be running/jogging- nothing over 4 miles for me though- unless I get a wild hair. Wild hairs are crazy.

There's a race in February, The Mercedes Half, which my friend keeps asking me to run- I think it'll be my next race goal. Maybe. I refuse to put so much pressure on myself right now to do it. 

Next weekend, Kelly from Fitting Back In, is coming to town with her pups! We're from around the same area. Funny story is that we have mutual friends/acquaintances, but haven't met in real life- and I randomly found her blog one day while searching for healthy recipes. I recognized her and immediately messaged her telling her I thought we knew the same people- to this day we STILL haven't met in real life!  Her blog is one of my favorites to read, so next Saturday we're planning a small get-together with our babies :-) So excited! Photos will most definitely be taken.

And because I love Better Than Ezra so much, I have to share a Fun Fact: If you like Sugarland's song "Stuck Like Glue" just know that lead singer from BTE, Kevin Griffin, helped write that song...*sigh* God, I love a man who can write, sing and play an instrument...That's the way to my heart, ladies. Fo Sho.

Happy Owl-oweeeeen!!!

You know I love Owl's. Naturally- my pumpkin carving would be an owl. 

Want an owl pumpkin, too? Here are the easy instructions:
1. Scoop out all of the gook inside.
2. Cut little "v's" for the owl feathers in the front. Probably about 5 will work. Save these as you'll need them for ears, beak and feet.
3. Attach two mini pumpkins for the eyes. You can just use a screwdriver to make holes and if there are stems on the mini pumkins just attach them via the stems. if NOT, use wooden scewers or something.
4. Attach the beak, ears and feet with wooden scewers.
5. Finished!! Proudly display your cute little owl.

Anthropologie: What I bought and what's new on my wishlist.

A few of you asked in my last post what I bought at Anthropologie in D.C. when I was there- I can't believe I forgot to TELL you. Geez. ;-)

Like I said before I left on my trip- I refused to pay the baggage fees ($40 total) to check a bag, so I used the biggest I was allowed to carry-on and I packed very, very wisely. All my friends were envious and I have to say...it felt good to spend that $40 on something else worthwhile...such as sushi from the BEST sushi joint in D.C. "Sushi, Sushi," or this cute little cardigan and top from Anthropologie:

"It's A Cinch Top" and "Graphite Pop Cardigan"

This photo was taken during one of my trips to Anthropologie and was originally posted in a previous entry. I just loved the combo of these two together, and both went on sale last week. They were small enough to fit into my suitcase, so I listened to my heart and....cha-ching!
 
I tried on a few items during my trip to the store and added this dress quickly to my wishlist:

Wightwick Manor Dress
It looks a little blah online, to me, but in real life I thought the colors were VERY pretty. It has blues, greens and hints of goldish-yellow. LOVED the shape and it's perfect for fall. Definitely would love to have this in my closet.

 Once I got home from the trip I immediately sat down and ordered something- it was too big to buy and fit in the suitcase...can you guess what it was?? ;-) I'll post that later this week along with what I bought with my birthday discount!

That being said- I'm sick (again!!) so I'm going to lie down for awhile. Ugh. I hate when one nostril is clogged. haha. Have a good one, ladies (and gent).

The Army 10-Miler, Legwarmers concert and Lifehouse

I made it back from D.C.! I'd like to say I made it back unscatched, but I'd be telling a big, fat lie. :-)
Where should I start? From the beginning I suppose...As an OCD, organized freak, I'll do this timeline style for ease of reading.

Thursday, October 21: My friend April and I flew together- we both lived in D.C. for a period of time and were so excited just to be back in the city. It's a great place to live in my opinion, but too expensive for my taste right now. I was lucky enough to live off of per diem when I was there, so I had lots of extra money- and if I lived in D.C. I'd want to live in a nice, little house with a yard. That's just me for ya.

We arrived and had dinner at Lebanese Taverna in Pentagon City, my favorite Lebanese restaurant in Arlington. So good! I love lebanese food, save the dessert. Bulp. I ordered some Lebanese cheesecake. It tasted NOT a thing like American cheesecake. ACK!

Anyway, I was exhausted at this point, so all I wanted to do was go to our hotel and crash. I had a big weekend ahead of me.

Friday, October 22: The day began with some shopping in lovely Georgetown. The weather was chilly on the walk over, but was nice to get some fresh air. April and I met up with our friend Courtney, who I worked with and who still lives in the D.C. area. (Courtney is also the little bobo who signed my ass up to run this race in the first place. Skinny bitch. I say that with 100% love.)

Naturally, our first stop was at my love...my heart and soul: Anthro! I was a little regular at this particular location- so much so that one of the Sales Associates who rang me up this day RECOGNIZED me from a year ago. lol. Yeah.....I'm not obsessed or anything.

 Thank you wind, for blowing up my cardigan, giving me an unatural looking rear-end. HA!


 Urban Outfitters Fun! I need this mug. Seriously.

After a day of shopping, we were exhausted again- so we took a nap and then got dressed in our best 8-s attire for The Legwarmers show@ The Legwarmer's are an AWESOME 80s cover band. I'm pretty sure they mostly do shows in the D.C. and Northeast area. What a blast- from what I remember... :-)

Courtney, April and I. Yes. April is wearing a THONG leotard. I'm trying to do my best Madonna.

Saturday, October 23: Much of today was spent recooperating from the 80s night. We were all still washing off eye makeup.

Courtney and her roomie hosted a spaghetti dinner for some of the runners- we chowed down on spaghetti, bread and drank tons of water to hydrate before the big race the next day. Poor April had a cold when we first got to D.C. and it was getting worse- so she spent much of the evening (and $200) getting meds to clear that funk up.

I contemplated just not running- I was scared, my stomach was churning...I didn't know if I was going to make it. I was exhausted from the week before and the past few days. This was NOT how I envisioned feeling before a race.

Sunday, October 24, RACE DAY: Woke up at 5:00 to leave by 6:00. We hopped on the metro and got to the race site at about 6:45. The metro was PACKED. The dude I was next to certaintly hadn't brushed his teeth that morning because I sure smelled his stank breath.
 Go me.
My first shoe tag. Awwww....
I drank a 20oz bottle of water and used the nasty port-o-potty on-site. About 30 minutes later, I stood in line again to get one last pee in. I was determined NOT to stop to use the bathroom.

At around 7:45 April and I finally made it to our "wave" start and hung out with the several other thousands of people around us. The total runner sin the race were about 22,000! That's a lot! Personally, it was awesome to see so many people supporting the Army with this race, but I was getting claustrophobic....

Once the starting cannons fired, we were still walking like turtles in a herd for about 20 minutes, and finally reached the start line! YAY! Off we were! The first few miles seemed to fly by! I was happy with our time, we were pacing ourselves with my handy dandy Garmin and I felt great! I felt like I was barely even breathing hard.

Of course, we walked, but we were ahead of lots of people still. This made me feel better about everything somehow.

At mile 5 we came to the point in the route where we passed the faster runners- we saw a few friends and waved and I thought, "Hey! We turn around right down the road. We're not too far behind them..." WRONG. Oh, so wrong. lol. They were at mile 7.5. We had just got to 5. Damn.

That's about the time my right knee started to hurt. The blasted knee that always gives me problems. We made it through mile 6 and I could still jog at that point. Come mile 7.5, I was hurting. BAD. It wasn't my sore legs and feet that were the main issue- it was the SHARP pain in my right knee. I could barely jog, so we had to settle for walking.

I was a little dissapointed because we were so close and doing so well! The last 3 miles we walked fast. I say that I was dissapointed, but really I'm proud of myself for finishing. I was hurting. A massage, hot bath and a new knee never sounded so good.

Of course, I pushed myself the last quarter mile to run into the finish line. BAHA! Hobble/jog is more like it! I made it though and it was grand. I felt a few tears wanting to come, but I think more than anything they were tears of pain for my knee.

So in 2 hours 13 minutes, we finished.
Post race- no makeup. EEK!!
Not awesome, but I finished- and I finished ahead of people, which I thought was impossible.

Monday, October 25: Time to fly home! I'll miss you D.C. and I'll be back soon.

OH, and in the D.C. airport, April was checking in her bags and as I stood off to the side waiting, I saw a dude with bright blonde hair- bad dye job- and his counterpart. In my mind I thought, "Wannabe rock stars," but in all honesty I have SUCH a thang for musicians (I've decided I should marry one). I couldn't take my eyes away from these dudes- they looked SO familiar. FINALLY I looked harder and it dawned on me- it was the lead singer, Jason Wade, and the drummer, Ricky Woolstenhulme Jr. from Lifehouse. I'm not a HUGE fan, but still like their music, so I walked right up and shook their hands. I wanted to take a photo, but decided that the lead singer was acting kinda snooty so I didn't want to give him the satisfaction. lol. Drummer dude was REALLY nice, though.
Conclusion: I think I'll keep running races, but I doubt if I'll ever run anything over a half-marathon. It was hard on my body to run so far, and as much as I know running is good for me, it could also be nothing but trouble for my knee as I age- and personally I don't want to just fall apart at the seams.

I'm still sore and walking as though I rode a horse all weekend (haha! Nice mental image I'm sure), but very proud of myself and all the hard work I put into my training the past few months.

I'm hungry damnit!

I don't care what Bob and Gillian say- it IS hard to lose weight while training for a race! If anyone watches "Biggest Loser", do you remember the season where they jumped all over the one dude's ass for GAINING weight during the players' last WA-HOO marathon training? I couldn't believe it, because for me, the same thing has been happening. I haven't gained weight, but I sure as hell haven't really lost any since I've upped my running- My stamina has definitely improved- which was my goal anyway...I'm just always HUNGRY!! FEED ME!!!! Fuel for the fire I suppose.

10-Miler in 5 days. Yikes. Where has the time gone??! I'm scared.....

I leave for D.C. on Thursday. I'm exhausted- which is putting it lightly. After my big weekend of music I haven't caught up on my sleep yet, which worries me to no end...am I going to be rested enough to run this race well? We'll see. Also, what;'s with the random shots being fired around the city? Today was The Pentagon. I used to work there- another reason I'm glad I don't anymore.

Scares me. Please bring safe thoughts my way for this weekend, in more ways than one!!

I'm pretty much packed already and I refuse to pay Delta a total of $40 for ONE checked baggage. That could buy something from Anthropologie for crickey's sake. So, no. I WILL and DID fit everything into a carry-on suitcase. Bitches. You will NOT win, airline companies. You will not defeat me.

So, this may be the last time you hear from me until next week sometime. I'm prepared to be even more exhausted next week- and wouldn't you know I have a BUSY week at work, as well. YESSSSSS!

Hope you all have a great weekend.

P.S. I've decided to be fellow Alabamian, Antoine Dodson, for my friend's Halloween party next weekend. Don't know who that is? Look him up.........Hide ya kids.........

Photo Heavy: DeLuna Music Fest Weekend!

FIRST of all- Goldenmeans, one of my favorite blogging ladies, is giving away a massive amount of Anthro gift certificates. Win one here!!

Amazing. What an amazing weekend. I admit I am obsessed with live music, music in general and Better Than Ezra. Obsessed as in I could live, eat sleep and breathe it all 24/7 if I could.

I'm happiest and content when I'm listening to music and watching bands perform and this weekend I got to do that. My great friend Marion and I headed to Florida Friday and Saturday for concerts on the beach! I love her- she's so much fun. She thinks I am, too, so it all works out.

I should be working in the music industry. True story: I applied for several A&R internships for college with big name music companies, and even got offered an internship with one in New York City. Sadly, I just couldn't afford to move up there and NOT be paid. Sad, sad day.

As you may know, Better Than Ezra is my favorite band ever. I first saw them in 1998 at a small, local festival. They were well-known in the 90s Alternative music world for their songs "Good" and "Desperately Wanting"- you know...the song...."I remember running through the wet grass, falling a step behind..." Yeah. Anyway. They aren't THAT popular, which suits me just fine. I prefer it that way. It's not common that someone can see their favorite band 12 times, several times a year, in smaller venues where you can just enjoy their stage performance. I've met them several times, they recognize me in the crowd- it's awesome.

The lead singer, Kevin Griffin is an amazing song-writer. He's written songs for Howie Day (Collide), Tristen Perryman (Madly) and David Cook (Avalanche) just to name a few.

If you ever get the chance to see them live, just do it. Even if you don't care for their music, their fun and quirky-wittiness on stage should surely make your ass get up and dance. If it doesn't then you don't have a pulse and must be a walking corpse. Or just boring. ;-)

Ok, enough. Just a few photos from the two days:

 BTE! Kevin and Tom. Photo courtesy of gopensacola.com

See me? LOL Look how blissful I am...and Marion with her devil horns on. Those came in handy when trying to find her in the sea of people. Photo courtesy of gopensacola.com

 A free kazzo from a vendor. Exactly what my loud ass needed.

 Neon Trees played Saturday morning on the beach- Tyler Glenn

 Uhm. Who doesn't love photo booths. We're obsessed. I'd like to explain what we were thinking in each pose.
#1: So. What poses are we gonna do? FAIL.
#2: Fake ass smiles
#3: My Flava Flav clock is caught on the horns!!
#4: No idea.

 Saturday afternoon consisted of us going around to all the booths and getting free koozies and taking random photo booth pictures.

 OBVIOUSLY, the dude in front of us on the trolley didn't put his window up.

 Ah, yes. Bud Light.

 Bush played Friday night. Gavin, in case you were wondering, is still hot as ever.

Daughtry played Friday night, as well. Great fun, sing-along with the crowd!!!

Who loves live music??

THIS GIRL!

Starting at noon tomorrow I will be on my way to Pensacola, FL for a fun filled weekend of live music- MY FAVORITE hobby!

Better Than Ezra will be playing Saturday. That's all that TRULY matters in this entire situation...But...some other bands that will be rocking my ass off:

Bush
Stone Temple Pilots
Daughtry
311
Neon Trees

But what do you wear to a concert on the beach?? I don't know....I don't havebeachy clothing. I don;'t really have comfortable middle of the road clothes. I either have t-shirt and jeans or dressier, cuter stuff. Plus, with the wacky weather of 80s in the day, yet a chilly breeze from the gulf- how do you work around this?

Everyone have a fun weekend! See you on the flip side!

Running Mashup Songs you're gonna wanna download TODAY!

A super HUGE thanks to Melissa via her blog Fitness NYC. She always has awesome running playlists to share and, hello!!!, how did I miss these Mashup artists?! I guess I'm the one living under a mossy rock lately.


Yes, I've heard of song "mashups" but not by the DJs she speaks of in her blog post here, such as Girl Talk and E-603.


AHHH-MAZING! I have a short attention span when it comes to workout music, especially when I'm running- I'm changing the song every minute it seems like. I like a song to be upbeat and fast almost constantly (think "Bombs Over Baghdad" by Outkast or "Bang Bang" by Knaan ft. Adam Levine.) to keep my energy up.


These songs are perfect!! Check them out- if you're looking for the same thing as I was looking for, or just for variety in your playlist! You can download E-603 songs for FREE here! YAYUH!!


10-Miler Countdown: 11 DAYS!

The "questions" game, as I like to call it is going around the blogosphere still- and I was tagged twice by two lovely ladies. If you're nosey like I am, you can continue reading to get to know me better- probably better than you ever wanted to, but whateva....

1. IF someone was annoying you at work and has gotten to a point that's pushed you over the edge, would you cause a big fit and tell him like it is because everyone agrees and they deserve it, or do you keep your cool and ignore them?
I would cause a big fit and DID a few months ago. lol. It wasn't that big of a deal, really, but that day said fellow employee was just too much. He had gone too far. I really let him have it. He had it coming to him, however. Not going to write about work or any details, though, because I did that once before about something SO insignificant and tiny and someone read it and basically "tattled" on me for having a bad day and blogging about it. Pshh. "Whatever" to that, too.


2. What is your favorite time of year?
Do I even NEED to tell you? It's Fall, baby! Absolutely love this time of the year!

3. What is your favorite quote or lyric?
There are SO many- this is a hard one for me.

4. What is your favorite scene from a movie?
Again, SO many, but the very first one that crossed my mind was the end scene from "You've Got Mail" when Meg Ryan see Tom's character's dog come over the hill and hears him call out for the dog, and then Tom walks over the hill....and then she says: "I wanted it to be you. I wanted it to be you so badly." *sigh*


5. What's your idea of the perfect date?
It depends if we're talking a first date or a follow-up date. Or are we talking about a date with your current boyfriend? Ok, ok. I'm skipping this. lol. Thinking way too into it.

6. Who is your favorite celebrity and why?
Ludacris!!! LOL. Of all people, I know. I just think he's such a cool dude. I've known people who have met him and talked about how down-to-earth and cool he was...and I just love the way he raps! LUDA! haha



Oh, and Britney Spears. Man, who can really explain their love for Britney? People usually think I'm an idiot. Do I care? No. For one, I kinda grew up with her. I grew up wanting to BE on the Mickey Mouse Club and being all of their friends' because they could sing and dance! I wanted to sing and dance! When she came onto the pop scene I just loved how she danced her ass off and she was hot! Seriously. If you don't think Britney was hot during her "Slave For You Days" YOU are the idiot. Just kidding ;-) The girl just seems as "normal" as a celebrity can be. She walked/walks through gas station bathrooms with bare feet- you can't get much more normal than that. Or trashier....I don't know guys- she's just a goof and I'm a goof. She went crazy for a few seconds there, but seriously....can you blame her. I'd shave my head and beat a paparazzi's car with an umbrella too if they kept gettin' all up in MAH face.  

7. Do you believe in love at first sight?
In a way. Some people like to call this "Lust At First Sight" and although I do believe THAT exists as well, I also think you just KNOW sometimes. I've been in love once and looking back and remembering the feeling I felt when I first laid eyes on the guy- it was a form of love immediately. I knew there was something there. God, I love that feeling....


8. How would you describe love?
"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived."- Anthony Hopkins in Meet Joe Black

Happy 27th Birthday, to me- and Talbot's Leather Jacket Review!

I have ALWAYS loved waking up on my birthday morning, for as long as I can remember....Waking up to phone calls, texts and now facebook wall posts. LOL. Oh, the age of technology.
(Not my cake. I jacked this from the net. Happy Birthday, Ramina. Whoever you are.)

I wish I could take screen shots of the "Happy Birthday" posts I've received today- it truly means so much to me- taking that time out of your day, even though it may be a small amount of time- to tell someone "Happy Birthday" or "Happy Anniversary" or simply just "Thinking of You" really makes someone smile on the inside and outside!

Thanks to all of YOU, as well. :-)

I'm glad some of you liked some of the items from Anthro I tried on in my last post- Lemme tell ya...I HATE dressing room mirror photos. They are unflattering as ALL get out, but such is the sacrifice one makes for a blog. baha!

I ended up buying The Time Gone By Dress in gray, last night- I couldn't wait any longer! That's how much I liked the too small version from the dressing room. Looking at the black sweaterdress photo, I kinda thought it DID look hot- Spanx can cure the rest I suppose ;-)

Now a review.....

I guess I kinda splurged on this for my birthday- but got it at a good discounted price. I love it! Others apparently do, too, because it's sold out online in their regular size line. The color is the perfect cognac brown, it's soft and has a great shape. The zippers on the arms and pockets just make it over-the-top cute for me. Definitely recommended for anyone in the market for a new leather bomber!

Anthropologie Fitting Room Reviews

I took off this morning to drive 3 hours to Anthropologie- crazy, perhaps...but, it's a long weekend and I had not a thing to do today- Plus I'm sick of buying and returning- I wanted to try on some things to save me some time in the long run. Plus, tomorrow's my birthday. I do what I want. ;-)

I have to say- this trip turned out to be a little disappointing.

#1: The SA's were all pretty rude today. Bitch City up in there- Whatever. I just tried the clothes on and hurried out of their before their negativity sunk into my pores. Keep reading. This means you, Gen.

#2: The clothes were overall horrible. I just didn't really like much of anything. The things I thought I would like, I didn't- some things I thought weren't worth a second glance on the website, I really loved. So odd.So very very odd.

Thankfully, the two items I had my hopes highest on for my b-day discount were FAB!

Birthday Discount Contender #1: Time Gone By Dress
Although this photo look hideous in so many ways, it's understandable, as the largest size they had in this dress was a 10....which is what is on my size 12/14 body. It wouldn't zip on the side- so I'm holding that bia together as best I could. The attached belt was too snug so I just tossed that to the floor. Verdict? LOVED it! The gray color was gorgeously pretty and wintery. In my correct size, I KNOW this dress will be all sorts of flattering to my shape.
Perthshire Dress
LOVE this dress! I know it looks weird in this picture, but again- they didn't have MY size, so I improvised. The left side isn't zipped, you see? So it looks like a big flap of extra fabric. But the asymmetrical hemline, plaid print and overall shape was awesome! Definitely wishlisted for me.
June, July, August Dress
Yes, I'm just trying this on. It's been out for months and it was just OK for me in person. Just a run of the mill jersey dress. I like it, but not enough for the full price.
 Birthday Discount Contender #2: Alice in Autumn Sweatercoat
So, so pleased with this sweater. It's perfect weight for Alabama winters. The color was amazing. I'm definitely buying this.
 Easy Keeper Skirt
Didn't have my size in stock. Surprise, surprise. This is a very tight 10. I liked it- I liked the way it fit in general. Some bloggers complained that the waist was too big while the bottom fit. In my case, I needed that extra waist space- so I loved the fit! But I need to size up! I may think about it seriously come sale time.

 In The City Dress + Dwarf Quince Cardigan
I really liked this dress! It was a tad snug in the 10, so I'd size up (damn boobs), but the fit was comfy and I just threw on the cardigan to show the two pieces. I liked the cardigan, but it didn't WOW me like the red version from months ago did. We'll see how I feel come sale time.
 Acting Out Skirt
Tight. Tight, tight, tight...and I don't have much hip and thigh. This would look great on thinner women, but didn't work for me. ALTHOUGH, it did make my butt look round- which is a miracle because I don't exactly have much of one. It's still on my wishlist, because I think I would like the black color better than this green. Another "we'll see."
 Finessed Sweaterdress
This black sweaterdress was so comfortable and warm, I just wish the skirt wasn't so straight down and close to the body. I carry weight around my midsection, so I like things to flow AWAY from that area- not hug them. On the other hand, the cowl neck and bell sleeves were darling! I'm still consistently losing weight, so maybe it'll fit better in a few months :-)
Konnichiwa Sweater + Light The Sky Chemise
Definitely the surprise of the day- I never even so much as batted an eye at these two online. The color of the sweater is MUCH more blue and pretty in person, than on the website- and the chemise is TOO darling to just wear in the privacy of your own home. Loved the combo together. MUST haves!!
 Early Bird Chemise
Again, I'd wear this out in the spring/summer, not just at home. It was cuteness! The hem goes UP in the middle as you can see below- which I thought gave it a little extra somethin'-somethin'. Wishlisted!
 Wanna see a uniboob? Try on THIS dress.
This dress was NOT attractive. For anyone with a bigger chest like moi, it's a NO. It was unflattering and.....puke. lol. Sorrryyyy. I just couldn't resist doing a little "see my uniboob" pose for ya!

My chest pissed me off royally today- I was bloated and my chest felt like it was 3 sizes bigger today...not conducive for shopping, lemme tell ya.

Hopefully someone out there got some use from these reviews- I know seeing others' always help me tremendously.

So glad tomorrow is a holiday! Sleeping in time----Happy Sunday!

OOTD: It's Friday and a long weekend

So, I took a few photos while sitting at my desk. HAHA! My office just threw a birthday luncheon for me- it was delicious :-) I love food. Yeah. That's right. I work out, I'm healthy and I. LOVE. FOOD.

I also feel like I'm on speed right now. High on life, baby. BAHA!
The main reason I wanted to share photos is because Anthropologie's Binu Necklace is sooooOOOOO cute. I'm so glad I kept it on my wishlist- it popped back in stock a few weeks ago and I grabbed it in a hurry- it was $10!

Exhibit A:
Here I am in my Limited Black basic Dress and J. Crew gray cardigan sweater, which I am in love with. Please know my face is in no way serious. I do NOT pose like this. And if you thought I did, shame on you.

Exhibit B: Binu's Necklace.

Alright- that's it. Please go back to what you were previously doing before you clicked on this post.

Oh and it'd be OK if you wished me Happy Birthday again. ;-)
