Motivation

I, like many others, HATE the gym.
I like to think of myself as an easy going, down-to-earth, happy-go-lucky type of person... but all of that goes out the window when my boyfriend tells me it's time to get our butts to the gym.
Recently, however, I have found my motivation. The one thing that makes me want to go work out and get in better shape.

Victoria's Secret models. Specifically from the Swim catalogs they were nice enough to send me after I signed up for the Angel Rewards card.

While I did happen to fall in love and purchase a bathing suit from the catalog, it quickly became my mission to look just as good in it as the model.

Jeweled Push-Up Bandeau

It could happen, right? Especially since I have about 3 months until my first bikini-required vacation of the summer: a weekend-long girl's cruise to Mexico.

Either way, I bid you adieu. Now that I have more than one reason for going, I want to get this butt in bikini-worthy shape before the start of summer ASAP.

New Earrings!

As I mentioned before, the Easter Bunny was very kind to me on Easter Sunday in such a way that permitted me to grow my wardrobe.
After I left the mall empty handed on Wednesday, I went online and purchased 3 blouses, a necklace, a pair of shorts, and a pairs of earrings from forever21.com. Although I'm pretty stoked about all of my new clothes, I'm particularly excited about my new earrings. I've had my ears pierced since I was 7 years old, but I rarely ever take advantage. I don't hate wearing earrings or anything like that, it's simply because I have a hard time finding pairs that I like.

I scored big with this pair.

The best part? They're super affordable!
Cute and cheap, the perfect combination. Forever 21 does it again.

Throwback Thursday, Part 3

Now that Easter is over and my pockets are a bit heavier thanks to the Easter Bunny, I have shopping on the brain. Surprise, surprise.

Yesterday, my debit card and I wandered around the mall and eventually ended up at Nordstrom. Whilst there, I happened to pass by the dress department and noticied it was already stocked with this season's  prom dresses. I found myself making my way over to let my fingers slide through the beautiful chiffon and silk gowns because, let's face it, I couldn't help myself. At that moment I not longer had shopping on the brain, but nostalgia. I really miss going to the mall with my friends to pick out the perfect floor-length gown that I would dance the night away in.

Therefore, I am dedicating my 3rd Throwback Thursday post to my high school dances and my gorgeous dresses. All 5 of them.

My dresses are currently collecting dust in the back of my closet; however, the memories will live on... and on and on and on. 

Perks of the Golden State

It's always sunny in Philadelphia  California.

One of the best benefits of living in Orange County is the weather. Everyone continues to run around clad in a pair of shorts and a tee-shirt long after we've kissed summer goodbye.
Last year, I was dying for summer to end. The weather refused to cool down until well after autumn had "officially" begun. At the time, I was super bummed out because fall is my absolute favorite season, but now that we're in the final stages of the winter season, I'm anxious to feel the summer sun on my face.

With summer FINALLY around the corner it's time to start thinking about the perfect summer wardrobe. Although I have two closets overflowing with cute clothes, a girl can never turn down a new sundress and a pair of shoes. Especially the shoes.

With that frame of mind, I went out and promptly purchased a new sundress and a pair of shoes.

                 

Now, I'm more than ready for the summer sun. Bring on the heat!
