Photo Wednesday

Here's my week so far in photos....






My Friend Liz, graduated from college on Sunday!
So proud of her!!

                       My Friend Katrina went with me Sunday to Liz's graduation! We had a good time.

Just me :]]

Got in my new Kate Spade phone case. Super cute!

I finally got my Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM in!
I adore it so so so much!!! I have waited so long 

to be able to get it and it was worth every pretty
penny :]]

I'm obsessing over this watch. I think it's got the "boyfriend" watch appeal
but also has a feminine touch. Love it!

Here's some photos of my purse!

Inside of my purse...

I'm loving the red!



Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!!!!

Hello Blogger World.

I have missed you so!!!
We finally purchased a desktop and I'm in love already!
The laptop thing is completely over rated, lol...

It seems like so much has been going on, but yet nothing
to exciting at the same time.
I've been at my new job for 3 months now and I truly love my job.
The group of people I work with are all so fabulous. It makes
a difference when you work with a group of
people who love what they do and they genuinely like people.
Makes all the difference. I'm very thankful and fortunate to
be in an environment that I am in now. I no longer wake up
dreading my daily routine. I have a love for my life again..it feels
GREAT!

This weekend I'm getting serious about making some life changes.
I need to get back in the mind set of caring more about what I eat
and what I do to keep in shape and staying healthy. It always seems

that I start working out and then I lose weight and everyone starts

complimenting me about it then I just think to myself, "Okay, I'm

obviously looking good now, so I can finally relax!". Then in a couple

of months everything I worked for is back to where it was and I'm miserable.

This time I really need to get with the program. I want this to be the last time

I start something again. I don't have to completely give up the things that I love, 

but I need to have them in moderation.
I just have to keep telling myself...don't give up..you can look better!

I am so excited for Monday, it's unreal! I finally ordered my Louis Vuitton Neverfull
and I just can't contain myself. I'm stalking the FedEx tracker like a psycho.
I get annoyed when I go to check it and it hasn't updated...I've got issues haha.
I've just waited SO long to have it that I'm just done waiting and I'm being extremely 

impatient! When I get it in, I'll be sure to post photos and post all about it...so get ready!

Even though I haven't been blogging myself, I've still be checking out blogs.
Some are blogs that I have been reading for quite some time and others 

are newly discovered treasures.
If you have some free time check out these blogs....

1) Dulce Candy some, if not most of you have already seen or been following this blog.
She also has a YouTube channel that she posts tutorials and hauls on. I love her blog/vlog.
I'm constantly seeing what she has put up. Definitely worth checking out for 

all of those who enjoy beauty and fashion blogs/vlogs.

2) The Small Things. This is my newest addiction. A coworker introduced this blog to me

and I can't stop checking it out. She has some awesome hair/beauty tutorials and I love her posts.
One of which I will have to do myself. I love how she featured "What's in my purse" blogs

and had several different girls show what they had and answered some questions about it.
I'm a huge fan of the What's in my purse, videos on YouTube. I could spend hours watching

them. I usually have a notepad handy so I can take notes. If they have something in their handbag 

that I feel like I need in mine, I usually have to go out and purchase it. I'm nuts...I know haha.
I carry absolutely everything in my handbag and I have always been that way, but watching

those videos and reading blogs about it just makes it worse haha.I just find it interesting what 

different girls carry in their handbags. It tells a lot about a person, lol.

I hope everyone has had a lovely Friday and  I can't wait to update on my purchase :)

Hello March!

 

I'm so happy it's March, I absolutely love this month! Bring on St. Patty's day!

  I hope everyone out in the blog world has been having a
wonderful year so far. I know am! So far this year has brought
several changes to my life, the biggest one being a job change.
I absolutely love my new job. I love the group of people I work with,
the atmosphere, the clients, the set schedule...I'm already spoiled. LOL.

             Here's some things I've been able to do in my spare time (Or atleast some recent things)

                                        I bought new spring/summer nail polish colors.<3 them.

I got in some of my new blazers and bought some fancy new wedges.
Tried to be "gangsta" but failed...

Taking shopping trips with the girls
And dreaming of going to Ireland!
(It happens every March...nothing new)
I also bought both pairs of shoes I wanted from Bakers.
I have become a shoe fanatic. Something I thought would NEVER 

happen!

I'm also loving this seasons of

Khloe and Lamar: Season 2


AND
The Real Housewives of Orange County:
Season 7


LOVE IT!

Snow day + update!!!

Today we had our first snow of the "season".
I guess I shouldn't complain to much about the snow (it's definitely not my favorite)

 because we've been so lucky this winter. We have barely had a winter at all. :)

I've been a pretty busy girl the past week. There seems to be a ton of things going on with me.
I got an awesome job offer from a local bank and after a lot of consideration, I decided it was
a smart move for me. Although I'm sad to not be working with the group of girls I work with,
I am so excited about taking on a new challenge. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and it
feels good to have an "appetite" for life again. Plus, my work schedule is going to rock!
I haven't even had my first day of work at the bank yet and I'm already mentally spoiled on my
work hours! So here's to my last week of retail! You've been good to me and I will miss you..
But it's definitely the best move for me, I'm bettering myself and getting more experiences.
:)

A quick update on how my Feb challenge has been going. I have lost 10 pounds. I've
been taking this pretty slow here lately. Just got a lot going on. But I've been eating pretty
healthy and eating portions. I've also been drinking A LOT of water and staying
away from fast food. I have had a few fast food meals, but they've been few and far between.
Or so it seems, there for awhile I was eating out every meal for about 3 weeks...I never felt good.
I've even started dressing up more. It feels good to feel more confident in my own skin. :)

I ordered some new blazers and I can NOT wait until they get here. They're pretty amaze!

I'm so excited about this green one!



And this coral one is GORGE!

I just love this rust color. :)

I bought this one a couple of weeks ago and
I absolutely love it! <3 red!


Another thing I'm dying to have this season are some colored pants.
Loving the red pants!

Mmhm...gotta have them!


I've also been getting into shoes a lot lately.
If you are looking for some AMAZING quality
shoes, you should check out your local Baker's shoe company
or if you don't live near one, like me, go to Baker's shoes
and check them off!


I tried these on in the store and I fell in love.
Gotta get some!


They were so comfortable. The sales associate told me that she
bought a pair herself and wore them for 9 hours while she was working
and they never hurt her feet. I didn't believe her until I tried them on.
They were like heaven in wedge form!

And baker's also has these, which I've been dying to get my hands on also.

Hopefully my hubby has been taking notes and will surprise me with something
for Valentine's day! haha..


What are some things you can't wait to get your hands on?!?!?
