New Running Shoes and Current Workout Jams

Hello fashionistas!

I have recently taken up running and my mom told me I had to get new shoes. She took me to a running store and I was fitted for a pair of running shoes! Very exciting stuff. I tried on about five different pairs. I thought that getting fit for shoes would be an awkward experience, but I had a really nice man who told me what my feet were doing when I was running. I ended up with shoes that gave my ankles more support because I have pronation. This means that my ankle rolls inward when I put my feet down. These are by the brand Asic. 

I took these bad boys for a spin today and ran 30 minutes straight (just over 2.6 miles). I'm really proud of myself because I never thought I would be a runner, but here I am just running away! I increased my pace throughout my run from a 5.2 to a 5.5. I ended the last 10 minutes at a 5.5 pace. I'm pleasantly surprised with myself! The shoes made my run a lot more comfortable. I cannot wait to keep running with them. 

I've recently begun listening to country music (UH WHO AM I? RUNNING AND COUNTRY MUSIC I DON'T EVEN KNOW) and I wanted to share a few country songs I really enjoy running to! 

I Want Crazy by Hunter Hayes keeps me at a good speed and I love the catchy lyrics.

Flat On the Floor by Carrie Underwood is such a good song to workout to. Fast paced and powerful.

Best I Ever had by Gavin Degraw is a quick beat and keeps my feet moving.

I know this doesn't really count as country, but I still love this song.

Hope you guys have had a great weekend! I'm off to go meet a friend for coffee. 

Loads of love!

Back to School Shopping

Hello fashionistas!

Last week I tweeted that I had a very successful day of shopping and I thought that I would share what I purchased with you all! 

I bought these from Forever 21. The top was on sale for only $12. I love the gem peter pan color! All of my blazers/jackets are way too big, so I bought one to layer over sleeveless tops/dresses. Oh and anything else I want to layer it with (;

I bought this cardigan at the Loft. The Loft is my favorite store ever. I love this coral-pink color and the best part was that it was on major sale for $12. 

These items are from H&M. I couldn't pass up on a cute abstract polka dot dress. The olive green and lace top compimented my skin tone well, so I had to buy it! I picked up another black tee shirt (you can't tell from the picture, but there is a little square pocket on it).

I actually bought this top in hot pink, but the website did not have it! I would have photographed the top, but it is very wrinkly from being in the bag.

I bought these jeans from Old Navy for a mere $19! They are the "Sweetheart" jeans and they are fuller in the thighs and smaller in the waist. They were a perfect fit!

The flats to the left are from Target (clearance section, baby) and the flats on the left are Rock & Republic for Kohl's. These were also on sale. 

I redeemed my fragrance sampler deal for Warm Cotton by Clean. I love this scent; it is super crisp and refreshing. I decided that I should stop borrowing my mom's BareMinerals Faux Tan and buy my own! This bronzer gives the most natural finish I have ever found! I highly recommend it. 

Have you guys bought any new clothes or beauty products lately? 

I am not ready for school to start on Monday. Can it just be summer forever?

Alright, I have to go work on my current mission.. AKA finish my last essay for school.

New Shoes

Hello fashionistas!

This weekend was very relaxing! I spent Saturday morning getting a mani/pedi with my mom. Then we went to lunch, did a spot of shopping, and had a quick Costco trip. That afternoon I went to the beach with my sister and soaked up some sun. This morning I woke up, finished my Sidney Sheldon & Tilly Bagshawe book, The Tides of Memory,went to yoga, then went to grab lunch with some friends and study for a history test. All in all a busy, but enjoyable weekend. 

I wanted to share the new shoes that my mom bought me at DSW this weekend. 

 These Nine West heels were on mah-joooor (am I Rachel Zoe yet?!) sale; they were less than $30. I love the floral mixed with the pointed toe. Cannot wait to wear these. 

I always love having a pair of black wedges for spring/summer because they are the perfect shoe to go with dresses, shorts, and skirts. These were comfortable and cute. 

This song has been stuck in  my head for days and conveniently goes along with the subject of this post!

I love this song..

My mom and I randomly stopped into Victoria's Secret and I picked up a new pair of the Boyfriend sweats. I have not bought a new pair in over a year. I've dropped down from a medium to a size small, woo! 

Anyways, I'm about to crawl into bed. I am very tired. I'm doing this body pump class again tomorrow at the gym. It is a low weight lifting with really high repetitions. We did so so so many squats on Friday that my legs are JUST NOW starting to feel better. I'm pretty sure I waddled all day Saturday.. 

Hope all is well!

Weekend Wrap-Up.

Hello fashionistas!

Throughout this weekend I've snapped a few pictures and I wanted to share them with you all. 

I did some shopping at Kohl's and bought 2 new pairs of shoes. I found these Candie's cheetah loafers on sale for only $10. They were originally $50, so I was stoked. Loafers are a huge trend for fall/winter and I loved that they were in a cheetah print for a pop of pattern. 

I found these Simply Vera Vera Wang studded gladiator sandals. These were originally $60, but I got them on sale for a mere $12. Such a steal. 

This weekend my mom took me to visit my boyfriend at college while she went to visit family. 

I had the best time with him and I just wanted to share a a few of the pics we took together. I told him that when I was younger that I had an obsession with taking pictures in front of trees with branches that were split and I put my head in between them. After that story he insisted that we take a picture in front of a tree. 

Here's another picture of us. 

We went out to lunch and watched a movie. Then we walked around campus for a little while and then went and met up with my mom again. After that we all went out for dinner at Tijuana Flats. Right before we left we stopped by this place on campus called Midnight Cookies. You go in and pick what kind of cookies you want (they have really fun flavors) and then they bake them fresh to order. They were absolutely incredible. 

After that we headed home, which was sad! We'll see each other in about a week. 

This morning I woke up and worked out, did some laundry, and Skyped with my best friend. 

What have you all been up to this weekend?

Sweet Sixteen Gifts

Hello fashionistas!

I thought I'd share all of my birthday gifts with you all. 

I want to say thank you to everyone for everything. I love my friends and family so much!

TIFFANY'S NECKLACE!!! 

My parents, Nana, aunts, and uncle all went in on this for me! I was so so so excited when I opened the box and saw that perfect blue box just sitting there. I've been wearing it nonstop since I got it. If you'll remember a few months ago I wrote a post on here about how I wanted one, well now I have one

This bag is by Ivanka Trump and I had been lusting after it for a few weeks and when I saw that Lily and two of my other friends got it for me I was incredibly happy and excited! 

This bag is from another one of my friends. I absolutely LOVE this bag! It's such a statement color, like "BAM, I HAVE ARRIVED!" 

Not only do I love this box, but I also love what's inside! My aunt, uncle, and cousin got me this plush, purple robe and a trio of Secret Wonderland Bath and Body Works products. The robe is so warm and fluffy.

My mom's good friend (and my honorary aunt) got me all of these movies. A movie for each year (16) and each movie is starting from 1995-2011. I'm going to be watching a lot of movies over winter break!

My great aunt got me this picture frame. I can't wait to hang it up over my dresser! 

One of my friends bought me this, I wore it today. Too cute! 

Another great aunt got me this necklace. I love the beautiful bronze colors swirling about this piece. It's such a statement necklace, I'm still trying to figure out what to pair with it! 

My honorary Nanny bought me this bracelet. I love how girly it is, very me!

This wasn't actually a gift, I bought these while I was out shopping; I just thought I'd include them.

My mom always buys my sister and I ornaments every year. She says she does it so that when we move out we'll have ornaments for our own trees. 

My mom's best friend bought me these nail polishes. I currently am wearing "Wocka Flocka." It's the last one on the right.

Melissa bought me this candle because we both love candles! She also got me this delicious Kenyan coffee from the farmer's market and a Forever 21 giftcard. We're shopping buddies! 

My pottery teacher got me this because I had been craving a carmel apple ever since she'd talked about making them. I was so touched when I walked in and she had this for me, she also put hot pink sprinkles on it! She wasn't able to make my party because of a conflicting engagement. 

My former biology teacher came to my party and she got me this Sephora mirror and a gift card. 

She knows me so well! 

My mom put together a box of pedicure goodies. I think she was tired of me taking her stuff!

Mom also bought me these adorable flats. 

Sephora's beauty insider birthday present. 

My sister got me all of this because I love warm vanilla sugar and Lindor chocolate! 

Again, thank you all so much; I love you all! 

I'm off to go get ready for tomorrow. I have a chemistry test and an english test/essay tomorrow. It's going to be a busy, long week before winter break.

Statement Flats

Hello fashionistas!

I thought I would do a little shoe post today.

Being a mere 5'3'' I tend to opt for heels or wedges, but when I need to give my feet a break I bust out the flats. I buy wedges or heels that can be worked into multiple outfits. When I buy flats I like to have variety in my shoes, so I look for more flamboyant flats. 

Here are the statement flats I'll be wearing a lot this fall/winter. 

Clockwise: Nine West (Marshalls), Ross, and Forever 21.

Sometimes I like to throw in a little flash of metallic in my outfits, so these shoes were a perfect find. I like to wear these when I'm in jeans, tanktops, and slouchy cardigans. Add some earrings and a simple bracelet and you're good to go! 

When I feel the need for a little edge to my girly outfits I like to mix it up with these studded flats. They take my sweet and girly look and make it look more edgy. 

Whenever I'm in the need for some sassy footwear, I put on these pizza toe, cheetah, kitten heels (which are basically flats to me)! They instantly make any outfit look classier and sassier! I like to mix them with blazers, jeans, sparkly shirts, throw on a chunky bracelet and I'm ready to hit the road. 

Do you all have any shoes that make a statement? Let me know!

I'm off to shower and get ready for my day tomorrow. I felt sick today, so I didn't go to school. I'm sure I'll be doing a ton of makeup work tomorrow. I also have a chemistry test on Friday, I'm dreading it! 

Lots of love!

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes, I Love Them!

Hey fashionistas!

The other day the momma and I (no I don't really call my mom 'momma') were shopping it up at Target, and we 'happened to stumble upon some shoes' (just kidding we totally went over there on our own free will)! 

They were having a big clearance on shoes, 75% off! So I picked up 3 new pairs. I have shoe problems because my feet literally rot my shoes. I kid you not, my feet are disgusting. The weird thing is it only happens with closed toed flats/pumps. Okay, so now you know my weird feet fact. 

On to the shoes!

The first pair were the ones that I bought the gel pads for, they're really high.. These could end with me whining about my feet after I wear them/while I'm wearing them. Actually it will definitely end with me whining, then my friends will pull the "why do you wear heels?" card.

Obviously, I wear them because they're so cute and because I'm so short (a mere 5'3")!

The blinged out gladiator/sandal shoes I bought because I thought they would be cute sticking out from jeans, for a  pop of sparkle! I'm definitely going to put a band-aid with a cottonball in it for padding against my heel, I know they zipper will end up giving me a blister. 

Oh, the things we do for fashion.

The final pair I got were a sensible buy. They're comfy and they have a bit of height, so I feel like these will become an everyday sort of shoe. They're really comfy!

All of the shoes I bought were $7 or less. You guys should definitely make a trip over to your Target and peruse the shoes section. And the clothes... 

School starts Monday, I'm not looking forward to that. 

Hope you guys have a fantastic Saturday! I'm off to go get ready to go hangout with the bestie. There will be an outfit of the day from today put up soon.
