As seen online....

I love online shopping! Using promo codes and being able to shops sales are a great way to get some good deals.

I also love getting ideas for great outfits from blogs and Pinterest.

Here are a few items I picked up recently for this Spring and Summer (preg and post!)

As seen on Pinterest: Maxi Dress, $35 ($26 with shipping using a promo code)  HERE

I was hesitant to order this, since I never used the site before and was scared it would be from China and fit terribly. But after reading the reviews on the item and of the site, I gave it a try and I'm glad I did! The material is great and the colors are just as amazing in person.

As seen on J's Everyday Fashion Blog: J Crew Factory Top, $27 (on sale with promo code)  HERE

I really liked this color combo and already have a pair of shorts in the same color from last summer. Also pair with a yellow skirt, white pants, and a deep green skirt I have as well!

As seen on Pink Peonies Blog: Tees By Tina via Nordstrom, $98 (used $20 off Nordstrom note, so I got for $80 with tax) HERE

I am obsessed with this girls maternity fashion and a bit jealous she can afford a lot of the items! LOL
This dress was a one size fits all and I just loved the color! Fits great and really surprisingly flattering.

Cheap or Chic- the black romper

 

 

 These pics made me instantly want a black romper! How chic!?

With the warm seasons upon us, I decided to search for the shorts version vs. the pants.

 

 

Here are some Chic....

True story. Don't make excuses, just make results.

 

After being sick with bronchitis all week, I went against my doctors better judgement and ran in in the DC Rock and Roll Half Marathon. Luckily for me and the other 30,000+ runners the rain held off and it turned out to be a great day for a run. Since I was sick I wasn't able to get any running in the week prior and definitely coughed a little throughout and did not have my best time (offical end time was 2:11), but all in all I did it and finished. My for 6 miles I had a good pace, but my body began to slow shortly after and for the remainder of the run. I'm glad I did it and got my first race completed for 2013 and it was nice to see some familar faces of officers I worked with along miles 6-7 and hearing their cheers!

 

I will be running my next in about 5 weeks :)

 

Early morning start! Constution Ave. filled with runners ready to go!

 

Be Kind

 

 

 

As you can see your motive may differ, but your action should remain the same...be kind.

I try to expect the unexpected.

I don't expect things to just happen.

Act without expectation, but expect the best and prepare for the worst.

in the words of Coco Chanel....

Could not be more true....so eloquently summed up by the famous French fashion designer, founder of the Chanel brand and a true style icon.

I lust over he classic chain link quilted Chanel bag!! Here are some celebs sporting theirs....

Summer '12

Today is the official first day of Summer!

Summer is bikinis, tans, parties, sun dresses, beach, pool, cold adult beverages, sunglasses, and memories.....

A picture is worth.....
