Hey there, friends!
How is everyone’s week going? Mine has been productive and a bit challenging. I started working out with a trainer on Tuesday as a way to chase after my New Year’s resolutions. I’ll be working out twice a week for now, and doing something like yoga on one other day during the week. I probably won’t start that for a couple of weeks though. Do y’all like yoga? What’s the best kind? As a beginner, I don’t know if I could handle hot yoga, ha! But, am willing to try another kind. In other news, I sold my couch this week and had my carpets cleaned. More furniture will be delivered tomorrow, mostly for my office, and my bedroom furniture will be moved over to the empty bedroom on Saturday … so things are moving along! I’m excited to settle in to my new bedroom. I think I will eventually get new bedroom furniture but am trying to focus, first, on getting my office and living room furnished. And it’s really hard, y’all! Ha! The struggle is that I am drawn to multiple styles of interior decor – romantic / cozy and regency / glam – so, I go all heart-eye emoji over pieces that aren’t really the style I’m going for for the rooms I’m decorating. My living room is what I’ve had a hard time remaining consistent with. [These are first world problems, I realize this] So, I’m just ready to be done with it but I’m trying to be patient and not rush myself. 🙂 Other than that, I’ve been shooting with Kaylee for some future blog posts and continuing to work through my to-do list for my accountant. I hired a new one this past year and we are working on getting everything a little bit more organized, which is going to be great in the long run but a little tedious and time-consuming at first.
Okay … moving on! This look … in my opinion … would be great for church on Sunday, a weeknight dinner with girlfriends or even casual Friday at work! I ordered these jeans when I was in London [over a month ago!] but had them delivered to my Florida home. Once I finally unpacked them, I had totally forgotten I ordered them and got so excited! They’re super cute and Hudson Jeans always fit so good. They’re one of my favorite denim brands for petite gals but a lot of their jeans have back pockets with flaps on them and I’m just not about that – but THESE are not that way! Thankfully! I don’t know if y’all have noticed but I’m obsessed with this new handbag I got a few weeks ago. I am not really into white bags [this one isn’t white; it’s a little off-white] so I was a little surprised that I was so drawn to it. I love gunmetal hardware, though, so the gunmetal rock studs made it easy for me to imagine how many outfits I’d be able to pair it with. I’ve intentionally purchased slate and light gray shoes over the last year so I feel like it’s a great bag to compliment those. I purchased my Manolo’s at Harrods in London and didn’t realize that this color wasn’t available on ANY online retailers site that carries these the BB Pointy Toe Pump. Sorry, guys! I really like THIS pair that are on sale and under $100. Also, THESE are a little bit different but I kind of really love them! The heel is super sleek and the gray suede is beautiful!
One of the things I’ll be working on over the weekend is planning some upcoming travel. I wanted to take the beginning of the year off of traveling after my long stay in London to allow myself to rest, recharge and enjoy being back home, as well as get organized as I have mentioned multiple times. I am going on a little weekend getaway next weekend, which I’m really excited about, but otherwise, am not going anywhere until mid-March. Where are some places you have been in the past that you LOVED and maybe never thought you would have? I’d love to hear your input. I’m putting together a year-long travel outline and would love ideas on places that maybe I haven’t heard of or unaware of! Like, for example, I went to Amsterdam in October and NEVER would have thought it was as beautiful and amazing as it really was! I had this kind of, like, ‘ew’ idea of what the city was about but was pleasantly surprised that it was nothing like my assumption. It was beautiful, unique, quaint and seriously wish I had gotten to stay a couple more days! So, places like that … 🙂 Let me know!
Alright, I’m going to finish watching the TODAY Show and get some emails answered before my next workout! Eek! Hah! Have a great day, y’all! xo.
