Spring Transitional Piece

HAPPY SPRING!!!!

It’s that time of the year when no one knows what in the world to wear from one day to the next. Last Friday we were in the high 70s, and this week it looks like we’re sitting in the 50s. So now is a really important time to have pieces in your closet that are good transition pieces and work well with layers.

Today is all about one of my extremely budget-friendly Amazon finds that will work well as a transition piece between winter and spring, and can also be worn in the fall and winter!

Spring Shoe Obsessions

Wow, y’all. Last week was a tough one! I always feel like Daylight Savings Time is just an excuse people come up with for feeling tired, but after this week, I think I’m buying in to blaming it for the chaos.

Luckily for me, I had a shoe delivery on Wednesday that definitely got me through the week!

Austin, Texas Bachelorette (Final Day!)

Tuesday was our last day in Austin, and we still had so many things to do! I knew we’d be eating a ton on this trip, so I figured another workout class might be a good idea.

The indoor surfboards were out of our comfort zone, but not as much as this…

Austin, Texas Bachelorette (Day 3)

Today was the last day for most people in our group, so I wanted us to go out with a (doughnut) bang!

If you’re doing any type of research on Austin, Gourdough’s seems to always be popping up! And since they’re all about doughnuts, and if you’re even a little bit familiar with my blog, you know that I didn’t hesitate to take us here!

Austin, Texas (March Bachelorette- Day 2)

Sunday was another busy day in Austin!

One of my sister’s requests for her weekend was to have at least one workout class. I did a ton of research trying to find the perfect, unique class. There were lots of cycling and CrossFit classes, but I was determined to find something totally unique!

I think I succeeded 😉

Gettin’ Weird in Austin (March Bachelorette Party – Day 1)

Austin, Texas is just one of those cities that looks like a ton of fun. If you Google ‘bachelorette destinations’, it’s also at the top of many of those lists. Since I’d never been (and wanted to go!), I planned my sister’s bachelorette party and picked Austin as our party destination.

The Spring Break Countdown

The daffodils and cherry trees are blooming, which means spring is here, right? I was hoping so, but it’s been one rainy and gloomy week and weekend! My parents, who live in Virginia, said it’s rained so much the last week+ that people have been out of school and in landslides. I’m not sure if that’s better than snow or not.

All I know is that there’s one more week of school before spring break, and I AM SO READY.

Budget-Friendly Valentine’s Day Outfits!

I’m usually all about some carry-out and a movie at home or Buffalo Wild Wings and some stretchy pants while watching our teams on the big-screen, but sometimes it’s nice to have a scheduled, “dressier than usual” night out. Don’t get me wrong, I like being in my sweatpants or pajamas way more often than dressing up and going out, but it is nice to occasionally have a special date night that involves more than our town’s only steakhouse-like restaurant.

So what better time than Valentine’s Day for a new date night outfit?

Doughnuts, Donuts, Everywhere

In honor of the Krispy Kreme Challenge that’s taking place as we speak (don’t know what that is? Check out my posts here and here!), today is dedicated to the food that has my heart…doughnuts!
