Good morning! Its Hump day- hooray! (Not that kind...you guys are such dirty birds.) Glad the week is halfway done and my hubby comes home from his business trip tonight!

I want to remind you that my $50 Anthropologie Giftcard Giveaway ends THIS FRIDAY! Get your party panties on and enter! (And tell your friends!)
Everyone likes pretty free stuff right?

Its Graphic Design Barbie

 

Ok, maybe not. Because... a.) Barbie is a stick figure and I enjoy carbs, and b.) My hair isn't THAT blonde... But it is much lighter-and I have bangs. Thanks to my current obsession with J. Lo, (...not American Idol...Not her music...Mostly just her hair) I popped into my stylist's chair Saturday morning with carmel-y colored highlights in mind. I am loving the change- a girl's gotta mix it up every once in a while.

Anything new in your world?

Happy Monday pretties! Did everyone have a nice weekend? I did! Friday we had date night with steaks and cocktails at our favorite place. Then Saturday, I got my hair cut and dyed (bangs and blonde! Can't wait to show you!) and we spent a lot of time relaxing at home in our pjs-so lovely. Then yesterday, we ran 8 miles (only 3 weeks till the half marathon-yikes!) I am so SORE this morning! It will all be worth it though when I cross that finish line with the hubs!

So this outfit is from last week, but I'm cool with that. Besides, you don't want to see my running capris and yoga pants. I loved doing this shoot with my talented friend Natalie- she has such an amazing eye! We had a blast running around Barnes and Noble being embarrassing. Its funny, but the older I get, the less I care who is staring at me like I'm a lunatic. 

I love this H&M checked shirt- and paired with cargos, its the perfect casual outfit to wear wandering around a bookstore, reading and sipping coffee.

Oh, and while I was waiting for my coffee, the Starbucks employees were talking about making a citizen's arrest because I was photographing the place. Weirdos.

And speaking of books, here are my currents and all time faves...
