It's getting to that point (here in Atlanta) where you need to dress two different climates if you plan to be out all day. This morning I was channeling my favorite sweatshirt to dance practice and in the evening, a jacket over this pretty red lace blouse. But somewhere in the middle the weather was perfection. I paired my favorite summer skirt with a quarter sleeve top for date night with my handsome hubby... Speaking of, today is his birthday and since I know he will be reading this: Teddy, thank you for always loving me and supporting all of my dreams. You are the best person I know and I'm so lucky to have you in my life. I hope all of your wishes come true this year!

Your loving wife,

I mentioned this lipstick last week in my post about the best blood orange lip colors, and the response has been amazing! I love that you guys have been able to find some great new colors to try out. It's been a great color for summer thus far, now ... off to the next. Any suggestions?

Coral + Mint. Has there ever been a better color combination? I love how these two bold colors compliment each other so well! I paired this simple blouse with a loose fit distressed boyfriend jean that I picked up a year or so ago. Of course, no outfit this time of year would be complete without my trusty leopard heel! Leopard is a neutral - right?

PINK SWEATER DRESS + LEOPARD PUMPS

DRESS: F21 - SIMILAR HERE - $87   //   HEELS: DSW - SAME HERE - $70   //   CLUTCH - SAME HERE - $5   // 

  CHAIN BIB NECKLACE (COURTNEY): PURPLE PERIDOT - SAME HERE - $26

I picked up this sweater dress almost 2 years ago from Forever21. I immediately gravitated towards the subtle color block pattern and was thrilled when I (re)discovered it - tags attached - in the back of my closet this week. Also, I seem to be getting a ton of use out of this Purple Peridot chain bib necklace! It really does go with everything, but weighs down your neck just a bit. Sigh, what can you do? Pain is beauty.

Well, Fall has officially taken off in Atlanta. It's cold - I mean, a southern's igloo (i.e. 59 degrees). On the plus side, it's perfect running weather! Early morning and late night runs are the best and I can't wait to get back at it. Before I took the summer off to dance (cardio is cardio), I was running close to 10 miles a week which may not seem like a lot, but for someone who got a B in P.E. - i'll admit it. It was a huge accomplishment. I'm hoping that 2015 is the year I do my first 5k, no better time then now to start training!

Are you a runner or do you scurry from the idea? What helps?! Send me your suggestions!

It's the times that I see my hair like this that I realize how obscenely long it's gotten -and naturally- want to chop it off. Unfortunately considering my hair grows about an inch a year, that isn't in the cards for me. The wedding is nearly one year away, so it looks like i'll be putting the breaks on the haircut and embracing my locks at least until the honeymoon.
