Hitting the pavement

So I have been literally "hitting the pavement" again.  As in, lacing up my running shoes and getting back in the workout zone.  It's February, which means I have about 3 months till full on swimsuit season!  Besides the whole goal of tightening up, I also feel SOOO much better all around when I am doing a good 4 days/week workout routine. I sleep better, eat better, feel great...seriously, working out and a good nights sleep is the best medicine!

So, I am definelty NOT a gym person...I hate the gym. I have to workout outside, in the fresh air, with an open road ahead of me.   Anyhoo, even though I go running alone, I still like to wear cute workout clothes.   I was browsing online for some new gear earlier today, and I stumbled upon these at Nordstrom.  Who says you can't look great while getting a sweat on?! Bring it!

I love wearing shorts when I run, and these are perfect with the wide waist band.

Loving both of these!  Perfect for those early morning or late night runs with the long sleeves.

Great sweats.

I love that this is mesh.  Breatheable and light.

Again, great running shorts.

My favorite go to running tank. I love wearing running tanks that have a built in sports bra!

Oh, and for the record...the photo below was my inspirtation (thanks a lot Pinterest).   I mean seriously....a girl can dream to look that good, and be that tan. Sheesh!

Wednesday Wonders

Today I am finding anything stacked totally phenomenal and wonderous.  Well, heels and cakes (to be more exact)...could there be a better combo?!

I am a sucker for layered cakes of any kind, but when I stumbled upon this jaw dropping stunner, I had to share.  Honestly....an ombre layered cake (and in Pink, nonetheless).  I truly am in love.

The 70's Platform heel is back in full swing...and never looked so good! Loving it all, and can't wait to rock some platform booties this fall.  Boom.

On a totally unrelated note, I made the cupcakes that I posted about yesterday!  They were so delicious and I loved the bits of real strawberry peaking through.  Another bonus...the fact that the pink frosting was not because of food coloring...just natural strawberry puree mixed with classic buttercream.  YUM!!.

They may not be as pretty as Sprinkles cupcakes, BUT they were really good!

Loving Right Now

Here is another list of awesome, fabulous, lovely, and brilliant things I am loving at the moment!

P.S.  It's Friday (I know, Captain obvious here) but...I LOVE FRIDAY!  Hope your Friday and weekend are nothing short of fabulous.

Loving Right Now:

* These adorable plates, that I know my kids would love to nosh upon.

* This Counter top cleaner that makes my kitchen squeaky clean without chemicals and makes it smell like a garden in the process. I think I may even like it better than the method cleaner I wrote about here.

* This DIY tent project.

via

* Izzie Sparkling soda.  My favorite is the sparkling Clementine.

* This awesome new take on photo booth props.

via

* This turns me into a bronzed beauty (even when I am painfully pale).

* How great is this vintage ride-on for kids. The Silver one is so fabulous.

* I love little boys in fedoras.  I have to get this....Protects them from the sun and still so stylish.

* I need a one piece swimsuit this year. I have always been a bikini wearing girl, but after two kids....well, like I said, I need a one piece this year.  This one actually got me excited about taking a dip in the pool.

* These Pink beauties are just smashing.

* This is one of my new favorite websites (since I love all things food and cooking).

* I just got this vase for my house.  I am in love with it (wish they still had the yellow one).

P.P.S.  Next week I will be having another giveaway AND an awesome bench and end table transformation...stay tuned. Oh, and remember that entryway I have been talking about (for like ever...what a slacker), that might sneak in next week too. XoX
