Thursday

Wearing: top from TJ Maxx, Skirt & Scarf from Target

Hey guys, really simple outfit here. It has been a LONG couple of days since I last posted. I managed to get most of my wedding invitations out and now I am impatiently waiting for around 230 RSVPs. My free time  has been filled mostly of wedding planning. Had a cake tasting this past Tuesday and I really want to show you guys what my cake will look like, but I'll save that for another post. 86 days until my big day!!

Lace Shorts

Lace shorts from Loehmans, purple blouse, Charming Charlies necklace

Happy Saturday! I've been looking for the perfect pair of lace shorts for a while now so when I found these for only $16, I couldn't say no. What do you guys think? Today was a very productive day in wedding planning world. Completed addressing 40 of 130 wedding invitations, picked out the cutest tulle skirted flower girl dresses from David's Bridal for my 2 flower girls, and made a 38 item to do list for the wedding. I could only come up with 38 things left to be done for the wedding which sounds like a lot but everything else is mainly minor details. I only have 98 days left till the I Dos! Soo excited!

Little Brown Dress

Wearing: 2020Ave.com dress, Steve Madden heels, Forever21 clutch & belt, H&M jewelry

I don't own many brown dresses. Actually I think that this is the only brown dress that I own, so please readers tell me that I don't look like I am wearing a brown catsuit, considering that my skin is almost exactly the same color lol! Most people don't like mixing brown and black...oh well.

Wedding invitations go out in a week and I have yet to address even one out of 130 envelopes. Starting the first one now so I will see you guys later.

Wedding Shoes = check

Badgley Mishcka Karlisle

Finally found my wedding shoes. I was deadset on having purple shoes for my wedding, but had the hardest time finding purple heels that I liked...then I saw these beauties by Badgley Mishcka. They came out last year so there are only a few out there im assuming. Not sure if I will be able to last all 8 hours in them, but I'm breaking them in ASAP.

Sky Blue

 Wearing: H&M skirt, Plain White Tank, Zara necklace, Gojane shoes

I love owning skirts like this one and pairing them with a simple tank to make for an effortless yet chic look. I got this shirt from H&M not too long ago and fell in love with it. It has pockets too! ::in love:: Many people don't care for the shape here because it can easily make you look even wider, but being as I don't have any hips at all (lol!), this skirt will be getting a lot of wear. I also love the beautiful bird print on it.

My dad got my sisters and I rings as gifts over the weekend and I am so in love with it

Get In Shape; Stay In Shape

I definitely don't exercise as much as I should which is terrible, especially being that I keep hearing more and more that all of the junk I eat will soon catch up with me. I've literally been the same size since like 8th grade, however, I figure that maybe one day I will wish that I had already had a weekly routine that I stuck to for more than 2 months. I've always been criticized about working out because I've always been thin, but the truth is that even smaller people need to keep in shape. For one thing, my metabolism may not always be so fast. Working out builds strength and endurance. It lowers disease and viruses. Working out also gives you more energy, among many more reasons. I'm probably not going to cut cupcakes and my other guilty pleasures out of my diet...especially since I'm not trying to lose any weight at all and I do eat healthy foods also, but we will see how this goes.

Saw these on Pinterest and was reminded that I don't own any real running shoes. Definitely on my list.

 There are actually a lot of great inspiration photos on Pinterest

Nothing makes a workout more fun than upbeat music and workout inspiration though. Heres my workout mix:

1. Avicii - Levels
2. Lady Gaga - Marry The Night
3. Hot Chelle Rae - I Like It Like That
4. Don Omar - Danza Kuduro
5. Dev - In The Dark
6. Nicki Minaj - Starships
7. Beyonce - Move Your Body
8. Kelly Clarkson - Stronger
9. The Wanted - Glad You Came
10. LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem

What do you guys listen to when you work out?
