Spring 2016 Wish List

Hi everyone!  Today I have one of my favorite posts to share- my spring wish list!  We are right in the heart of spring, so I thought it was a perfect time to share what I'm checking out lately.

I decided to share a variety of products in two of my favorite spring colors- purple and white.  Purple is one of my favorite colors to wear, and nothing beats breaking out that fresh white once it warms up outside.

I hope you enjoy seeing two outfits that I came up with, and I would love to hear what's on your wish list this spring!



Pretty in Purple










This brand has the most gorgeous jewelry, and I'm drooling over this beautiful amethyst necklace.  It's delicate but still a show-stopper!







How soft and amazing does this tank look?!  I could see this becoming an everyday essential either worn alone or under a jean jacket.  I could see myself picking up this top in every single color!









Button front skirts and midi lengths are all the rage, so I thought this was a stylish yet classic style that would look great with the purple tank!  I love this shade of denim for spring as well- a softer blue is perfect for warm weather.







I love gladiator sandals, and this particular shoe is very subtle.  I love the lace detailing and wide straps along the foot!  These seem like they would be stylish and comfortable, at since it's from Target you know it won't cost much!
Such a gorgeous shade in a perfect, creamy formula!  I don't usually go bold with my lipsticks, but I'm thinking a pretty purple like this might be fun to experiment with in the spring in summer.







Bright White









How adorable is this top?  Bralets are all the rage, and I love how this one isn't too revealing.  I love the details on the top and think it would look great with shorts, maxi skirts, or high-waisted jeans.






I absolutely love lace skirts, and this one is so cute!  There is just a small lace trim so it's not over-overwhelmingly girly.  The fresh white makes this really versatile as well and would look great complementing tons of different tops!








The details on this bag are amazing and make it look really high-end.  Would you believe that it's less than $60?  I think this would make a great work bag- it's spacious enough to throw everything in but the material can be easily cleaned.  I love the fresh white with the laser-cut detail as well!




Madewell Crisscross Sandal
I had to add in a little bit of color with this monochromatic look, and I love this deep berry color.  This is a classic shape for a sandal so I think these would be a great piece to invest in.  I know I would wear these constantly for years to come with every look imaginable!







Becca Highlight in Pearl
I am absolutely obsessed with highlights, and Becca makes some of the best out there.  If you're looking for a glow that can be seen from outer space, this is your product.  This powder goes on beautifully and lasts forever!  I doubt you could get through this in one lifetime!

    That amethyst necklace is to DIE for. That is my birthstone so I am too now drooling over it. It's out of stock though :( I will be for sure keeping an eye out in the future... Gorgeous. :)

    Love that Madewell top! I am so not a make up chick, much less a lipstick one, so people who can wear lipstick like that one amaze me!

      I've been getting more adventurous this year :) I don't wear much other makeup and it's always neutral, so lips are one area that I play around with!

    That lace skirt is so pretty & I love that KS necklace too. I always need more basic tanks and good quality is definitely worth it.

    I love those crisscross sandals! I saw a cute pair similar to that at the Steve Madden outlet a few weeks ago and really wish I would have gotten them!

    I've been lusting over a good pair of sandals and those are super cute, thanks for sharing. At first glance, I thought they might be pretty expensive so now I'm pumped because they aren't!

Relationship Rules I Broke (and WEDDING PHOTOS!)

Image
Happy Thursday everyone! Today I have a different type of post to share today.  I don't talk about relationships or my dating life much on the blog, but I'm switching it up today!  I got married last Friday, and I thought it would be fun to share some relationship rules that I broke while Dan and I dated. I'll also be sharing some wedding pictures!  We got married at the Butterfly Falls at the Hidden Valley Inn in Belize (more on the Inn in upcoming posts!), and the pictures turned out absolutely amazing.  Since we had a "just the two of us" ceremony, there's not much to talk about the actual wedding.  In lieu of a full post on that, I'll be sharing some background information on our relationship, along with wedding photos and some #ThrowbackThursday pictures.  I hope you enjoy (and I promise- back to running stuff next week!) Guys are immature, so date someone older I've always read in magazines (which, by the way, have the worst datin

Towpath Half Marathon Recap

Image
Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday!  Today I'll be recapping my race this weekend, the Towpath Half Marathon.  Overall, I had a great experience at the race and would definitely recommend it!  Before I dive into the mile-by-mile recap, I just wanted to give some overall thoughts and reviews of the race as a whole. The Towpath Marathon features three races- a full marathon, half marathon and 10k.  All three races are in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, but all run different courses.  The half and 10k start at the Brandywine Ski Resort, while the full starts at the Boston Mills Ski Resort (where the expo is held). The course is mostly on a narrow crushed limestone trail that is relatively flat.  There are a few sections that were paved and a few small walking bridges that provided the only real inclines.  It's really hard to pass people (particularly near the turn where it's two-way traffic) since the trail is so narrow. There are a lot of water stations, and each o

Review- Group Power

Image
Happy Weekend everyone!  Today, I'll be doing a review of another group exercise I do at my gym called Group Power !  Let's get right into it. First off, the description in our program guide is "This 60-minute barbell program strengthens all your major muscles in an inspiring, motivating group environment with simple, athletic movements such as squats, lunges, presses and curls." I don't exactly look like this when I'm curling..but you get the idea! Let me tell you, this is one intense workout!  For the entire 60 minutes, we're constantly moving and lifting and by the end I'm a pool of sweat!  We work out all the major muscle groups - Legs, Chest, Triceps, Biceps, Glutes, Shoulders, and Core with light to moderate weights.  We also use a step to do exercises like chest presses and split squats. For each song, we focus on one muscle group, and do a variety of exercises with lots of repetitions, set to the beat of the music.  The tempo of the
