Pure and Good

Anthropologie has activewear? Who knew?

I wouldn't have known (it's only available online) unless I had been doing my daily twice-daily stalk of one of my all-time-favorite blogs, A Piece of Toast. When they posted about sports gear a few weeks ago I clicked through a couple of links and was surprised when one directed me to the Anthropologie website. I had no idea that Anthro had released a full-line of my favorite type of clothes to wear and I couldn't be happier about it. Since I prefer to live most of my life in spandex pants and comfy tops this line if perfect and I can't help but swoon over every item. It is such a good thing that one of my jobs requires me to have an abundance of workout gear and it is an even better thing that Christmas is just around the corner.

Running shorts so cute, they might inspire me to actually go for a run.

Weekend Update

This whole week has been pretty crazy with preparation for FIG Finale down in Dallas. This event only happens twice a year and I can't believe I didn't know about it before. Vendors and stores from around the area all come together to put on a huge sale within the Fashion Industry Gallery. I am here working for a great cosmetic company called Cattiva, which I could not be happier to represent. In between selling and promoting Cattiva I have found some spare time to do some shopping, and let me tell you, I am walking away with some steals! An ombre scarf that has been doubling as a blanket for me when I get cold, jeans, a shearling vest, and turquoise earrings- and all at 75% off. I can't resist a great deal! 

Today is the last day of Fig Finale and I wanted to be comfortable but still show off some of my new purchases.

Things I Love

I had every intention of creating a real "Things I Love" post today. I started writing it out and it was going pretty well until a notice popped up and informed me that my startup disk was full aka. I need to delete pictures off my desktop that I save for blog posts and then never use.

It's your lucky day, because this weeks "Things I Love" are totally random pictures that I must delete right after posting them.

From Russia with Love

 J.Crew's September catalog featuring ballerinas from the Mariinsky and Yakobson schools of dance. Cashmere at the barre. Swoon.

If you love flowers and are ever needing ideas for floral arrangements then check out Honey of a Thousand Flowers.

Sheer Petals Jacket from Anthropologie that I tried on in Dallas and loved, but I loved this one even more...

Noissete Jacket from Anthropologie

I loved it so much I couldn't leave the store without it. Swoon.

If you enjoyed the randomness of this post and aren't on Pinterest, you should be. That's where I am going right now.

Until next time.

One of those late afternoon posts.

Getaway Girl

It's about that time of year again when the whole family takes a vacation solely to eat good food in other cities. This summer we are going to Washington D.C. and I could not be more excited. Not only for the incredible restaurants I know my dad has made reservations at after many hours of  researching and countless recommendations but also because I feel like D.C. is one of the only places on earth I will allow myself to be a tacky tourist and take a million pictures. I can't wait to visit the museums, monuments and of course the shopping.

Well rather than going through my own closet (aka clothes rack) and pulling things to put in my suitcase, I decided it would be so much more fun to pack a virtual suitcase on Anthropologie's website. Because who wouldn't want to fantasize about wearing clothes in the nations capital that they don't actually own. 

For the first, long day of bus tours. Planning on hopping off and starting our own tour whenever we feel necessary or get tired of the tour guides terrible jokes.

Monument tour day! Some of my choices. Keeping it classy in red and white. Patriotic but not too much. Or is it too much?

Dinner outfit. My dad actually mentioned to my mom and I that we probably could wear the same outfit to dinner a couple of nights... Dad... I am sorry for laughing loudly in your face. 

Georgetown.

As excited as I am about seeing all the sights I just really want to go spend as much time walking around and exploring Georgetown. And I guess maybe if we have time and randomly feel like stopping at Georgetown Cupcake we might, possibly... 

Please, it is the main reason we are making this trip.

Dinner again. Rocking a looser dress tonight because we went to Georgetown Cupcakes and when you fly halfway across the country for a cupcake you don't just get one.

Until next time.

My virtual suitcase is Louis Vuitton

Nooks and Crannies

As I prepare to move into my own house, I find myself constantly thinking about design ideas for my bedroom. The most important thing for a bedroom is comfort and the feeling of being lived-in. I don't think there is anything better than those small areas and corners of a room that become your "curl-up-with-coffee-and- a-Nicholas Sparks-book"to make a room perfect.

 Until next time.
