Heart Sweater

The weather in Chicago has gotten so cold! It was 80 and humid the other day now it feels like it's -40. The weather makes me want to bring out my winter clothes again. During cold spring days my go-to outfit is my heart sweater that I got from good ole tarjay and a pair of black jeans. It goes with everything and is super adorable. 


I couldn't find the black sweater on target's website but I did find a similar one--and it's super cheap! 

*Sorry I didn't take my photos in a better location but it is currently raining right now, bummer* 

Rain, rain, go away!

I absolutely love, love H&M. Their stuff is just so darn cute! When I went shopping about a month ago I came across these barely blue almost white looking jeans. I knew I just had to have them! They're the perfect spring/summer jean. Run to your local H&M, you won't regret it!

Fringe Booties (outfit post)

As I've said before I'm a target addict. I always find the cutest things there and most of the time they're discounted. It's like I go there for toothpaste and leave with a new hand bag, hat, shoes, candy, and a top. I always tell myself just go get the thing you came in for, but of course that never works. I guess I'm easily distracted.

 Anyway, I was browsing the shoe section yesterday and found these super cute fringe booties and they were only $17, score! (but for some reason they're more expensive online) 
I'm obsessed with them and they look a lot like these Jeffrey Campbell prance fringe booties found here.

(Sorry the background isn't that great, this was right before we went out for the night and it was super cold out)

Resolutions & outfit post.

I always have a difficult time keeping my new years resolutions. Probably, like most people, I'm really good for a few months (or weeks) and then it's like I magically forget about my resolution. This year I have a few resolutions and they all have to deal with health, of my body and mind.

The first resolution is to drink a ton of water, like five or more 16 oz glasses of water each day. I always have a difficult time drink water unless I'm really thirsty, if I drink water on an empty stomach it makes it hurt...weird I know. But anyway ever since I started drinking more I've noticed positive changes in my skin. It's brighter and the bags under my eyes have faded. It's a simple and very cheap way to keep your skin looking gorgeous. Oh and it also fills me up so I eat less... win win!

My next resolution is to make it to the gym at least 5 times a week. Before break I actually got into a good habit of going, but once I went home it was all down hill from there. It's not that I ate a ton and need to lose the extra lbs. it's just that I didn't work out at all when I was home, mostly because it was in the teens in WI. Not really fun to run outside when it's that cold. When I do workout consistently I feel so much better. I've been going right after work which seems to help. I want to have my best body ever and 2013 is the year!

My third and last resolution is to stress less and live in the moment. I definitely bring anxiety upon myself worrying about the littlest details that I miss out on the bigger picture and the special moments that it brings. Being in the moment is what counts because it won't happen again and I really don't want to regret missing out!

So there you go, those are my 2013 resolutions.      

Here is one of two tops from J Crew that Brian got me for Christmas (sorry if some of the photos are a little fuzzy, we didn't have great lighting in the apartment and it's at night)

Sorry I couldn't find this sweater on the j crew website
