Shopping!!

MB likes me to list the stores we will visit before we go to the mall. He thinks it limits my shopping time (it doesn't). I told him we were going to:

1) Zara- to look for blazers for work. I like wearing dresses to work, but need blazers to dress them up enough to have them considered "Business Professional". I was slightly inspired by the Middleton sisters...

The first one I found was on sale for $49. It's a shade between being and light pink.

I desperately needed a blue blazer, so I splurged a little on this one. 

2) The second stop was Lululemon. I have heard great things about their running shorts, and found a great running outfit to give a shot!

We did wind up making 2 unscheduled stops (one at Victoria's Secret) to look at a cotton romper I've had my eye on (I didn't buy it), and the other was at Nordstrom (where we parked) and I bought some MAC Plastique lipstick to replace the tube I lost at T's wedding shower.

I really love when MB shops with me!! Little does he know that I'm planning to take him to Cool River Cafe for dinner (he proposed to me after we had dinner there July 3rd of last year). It's going to be delicious. We are celebrating being together, and MB's new job!

Fab 5 (and maybe a few more)..

I wanted to post my 5 favorite outfits for the Summer, but I'm terrible at making decisions regarding absolutes like "FAVORITES", so I've included a few extra (I don't want any of the clothes feeling left out). :)

First is my July 4th outfit!! :0) The top is from the Impeccable Pig, the shorts are from XXI, and silver shoes are from XXI as well.

Now, on to the top outfits for the Summer!

1) Maxi dress. The maxi dress is from Target, the tank is from XXI, gold sandals are Tahari (I ordered them from Piperlime), and the belt is from Francesca's. 

2) Dresses- Coral dress is from XXI, long necklace is from Impeccable Pig, gold sandals are Tahari and the watch is Michael Kors (via Macy's).

The brown dress is Collective Concepts (ordered from Piperlime), the silver sandals are from XXI, the necklace is from Francesca's, and the bracelet is from Express. 

3) Rompers :) The grey is from C&C California (I found it on a post on People.com that Kristin Cavallari was wearing, and ordered it from Piperlime). The bracelets are from Charming Charlie, and the tennis bracelet was a gift from MB. The sandals are Tory Burch and were purchased at Nordstrom. 

                                                

The coral romper is from Impeccable Pig, the shoes are Nine West.

                                                

4) Shorts Combo's!! The grey top is from the Banana Republic Outlet, the red shorts are XXI, and the shoes are Audrey Brooke and they were purchased from DSW.  

The green top & black lace shorts are both from Impeccable Pig, and the black shoes are Tory Burch.

The coral top and brown print shorts are both from Impeccable Pig (notice a shopping pattern here?), and the shoes are Steve Madden (purchased from Piperlime), and once again the MK watch. 

The top is Levi's (purchased at Urban Outfitters), and the shorts are Black Orchid (found on People.com, once again on Kristin Cavallari, purchased from Revolve Clothing on-line). The boots are from Get Noticed, and the belt is from the Gap outlet. This is my country dancing outfit. :)

 5) White pants- At the beginning of the Summer, I had my heart set on white skinny jeans, but they are completely wrong for my body type. Luckily, I found these white sailor inspired pants on sale at Express. The blue top is from the Impeccable Pig. The gold sandals are Tahari.

I did some on-line shopping at Asos, which turned out to be an Epic failure. These are the dresses I purchased, but they will be returned shortly, 

Last but not least, here is what I'm wearing today.. To go shopping, with MB!!!

Hey blog.. It's been awhile, hope it's not awkward...

A LOT has happened since my last post.. Here's a quick list for the sake of time:
 1) April 16th- One of my very best friends got married. The wedding was AMAZING, and her pictures are stunning.

2) April 29th- I made the team for the Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & blue hip hop dancers. I've danced for as long as I can remember, and have always wanted to do something like this. Not only has it been great exercise, it's a challenge in so many ways, and I feel like it's really making me grow!

3) May 5th- First photo shoot for Miller Lite (the are a sponsor of DCRB). HELLO HAIR EXTENSIONS!!! One of the best days ever. Seriously.

4) May 7th- I got to take the plunge! I married MB, and we loved every minute of the wedding, although it absolutely flew by! I'll post wedding pics later.. :) Another one of the best days ever. :)

5) May 9-14- MB and I honeymooned in Costa Rica. We snorkeled, ziplined, and found a great restaurant (with GREAT sangria) on Coco Beach.

6) May 21- Wildrun! I started 2011 with the goal of running one half marathon per quarter. That goal changed to one competitive race per quarter (mainly because I have dance practice 3 days/week, and can't fit the necessary running training in my workout schedule). Wildrun is a 5k. I am training for the "Too Hot to Handle" 15k on July 15th.

7) One of my besties had a "Flirty @ 30" birthday party. The festivities included a pool day, makeup party at Laura Mercier, blowouts at drybar, and a night on the town. Girls only! :)

8) June 11- One of Matt's best friends got married in Fort Worth- fun couple, and beautiful ceremony/reception..

9) June 18th- Took a trip to Houston for my best friend's baby shower (she is having triplets!!), and Father's day..

10) July 1-2- "Stay & Play"cation at the Gaylord Texan. Great workout room, new pool with a lazy river (where you can have drinks), zipline, and water slide!
