Happy Monday! I always feel a little silly writing "happy Monday". I mean, I want everyone to have a happy Monday but is it really happy going back to work? I love my job so I don't hate going back to work on Monday morning but I'd be lying if I said I was excited about my 5:30 am wake up call. Ok, enough debating on the proper greeting for Monday morning, I haven't had nearly enough coffee for that yet. Let's just jump right into my weekend recap with Biana!

Like I said on Friday, my weekend was pretty laid back which is always a nice thing. Friday after work I headed over to Kerri's house for some wine, cheese and most importantly, Taylor Swift. Ok, not actually Taylor but we did watch her concert all over again. It was fun getting to relive our experience but from a different perspective. And this time from the comfort of a couch with wine in hand! 

Saturday was my most "relaxed" day. We did some more binge watching of movies, I may or may not have taken a quick nap and I ran some errands before settling in for the Green Bay Packers/Arizona Cardinals game. I even managed to get a little bit of time outside since it was gorgeous weather! 

Sunday I headed out to the Millenia area to do some shopping. Another "necessary" trip to Sephora happened where I stocked up on some new goodies. After dealing with the crazy crowds at the outlets we headed over to Yard House for some snacks and beverages. Trust me, after dealing with the crazy tourists an adult beverage is MUCH needed. After that it was time to get home for the Broncos/Steelers game. SO happy the Broncos won! Even the Orlando Eye seemed to be celebrating with it being lit up blue.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Why hello there Friday, nice of you to join us! My week hasn't been too bad. It was a little rough after staying up later than usual to watch the game on Monday and my excessive meetings at the beginning of the week made me a little more tired than usual but the week seemed to go by fast which I'll never complain about. I've got another pretty low key weekend (again, something I'll never complain about!) so I'm looking forward to getting some errands and cleaning done and LOTS of sleep! Jumping into Friday by linking up with Amanda for my Friday Favorites!

Happy Thursday lovelies! One more day until the weekend and I can't wait! Yesterday was a doozy with all my meetings so blogging just wasn't even an option for me. I could barely keep up with work emails, I was in and out of meetings so much, so I just figured I'd take the day off from the blogging world to make it a little easier on myself. And I went back to the gym on Tuesday night for the first time since September and man am I hurting. But hey, no pain, no gain... right? Any suggestions for easing back into working out? It's tough for me since for awhile I worked out 4-5 times a week, then cut it back to 3 times a week and then I just stopped for months so now I want to jump right back in at the weight I was at but that's not an option. FYI, getting older sucks!

Ok, now on to the outfit. I am so obsessed with this dress! I actually got it on sale a few weeks ago and now it's on SUPER clearance (under $25!) and I'm seriously debating on ordering the black version I love it so much. The dress has a serious boho vibe and the crochet cut outs make it a little sexy without showing off too much skin. It goes perfectly with boots or booties and I'm sure it'd even look great with flats... after I get a pedicure because right now my feet are staying in closed toed shoes! I've been wearing these boots on major repeat (I've worn them every day this week to work) because they are so comfy and perfect for these chilly days.

Happy Tuesday dolls! Whew, yesterday was a busy one. I had 3 1/2 hours worth of meetings so I felt like I was barely able to get anything done. And tomorrow is going to be even worse, 4 1/2 hours of scheduled meetings tomorrow. The joys of the new year! Hopefully it won't be too bad. These are the last pictures from my visit out to New Mexico back in December and I'm a little bittersweet about it. While the pictures aren't the greatest; my mom did a great job with taking them, it's more that the lighting is so different from what I'm used to and for example, these pictures were taken while we were out on a several mile hike, I'm sad that I don't get to go back through the picture and reminisce. Plus it was so fun getting to do photos with a completely different backdrop from my norm!

I definitely wasn't trying to be overly fashionable with this outfit but it is a cute outfit for hiking and exploring like we did this day. My boyfriend flannel shirt has quickly become one of my favorite articles of clothing in my closet. To the point where I actually went out and bought two other colors of the same shirt! In an attempt to keep warm I layered with a hoodie then my favorite leather jacket and even rocked the Uggs (not the best hiking shoes but I worked with what I had!). You can probably tell these pictures were taken in two different areas, some in the canyon and some at Tent Rocks Monument. Let me tell you, it was SO windy in Tent Rocks, I thought I was going to get blown away! And silly me doesn't even own a pair of gloves so you'll notice my hands in my pockets a lot in these pictures. Just trying to keep from losing fingers... :) I've definitely learned that doing spur of the moment photo shoots is fun but don't always expect the elements to work nicely with you!

Happy Monday friends! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I didn't really do much for the first time in weeks so it was nice to catch up on my sleep, reading and tv in general. I didn't realize how many shows I was behind on! I even started to watch Making A Murderer. Unfortunately I didn't get too far into it but I definitely see why it's bringing out so many emotions in viewers. Hoping I'll get to continue binge watching next weekend but until then, let's jump right in to my weekend recap with Biana! 

Friday after work I headed up to meet Kerri and the boys in Winter Park for happy hour. It was rough being back at work for a full 5 days again so it was nice getting to unwind with some wine and people watching. The street we were sitting on has a bunch of parallel parking on it and I swear if you sit there for an hour you'll see at least one car hit another and drive away.

Saturday morning I decided to venture out to the mall for a bit. I'm not really a huge shopper, I much prefer to do it online, but I needed to pick up some things at Sephora so out I went. After the mall we headed out to my favorite local Mexican place for some queso and margaritas. It was kinda crappy weather all weekend but the weather was warm enough to enjoy the patio Saturday so we sat outside while we still could.

{I feel like I have anime eyes in this pic!}

Saturday night was spent at home watching football and making homemade egg rolls. I'm not even going to discuss the game further. It was a complete disappointment and embarrassment by both teams and the officiating staff and that's all I'm going to say.

Sunday was spent relaxing and running errands. The weather progressively got colder throughout the day instead of warmer so we just decided to stay in and watch tv to avoid the gross weather. My pup was definitely super happy to get all the snuggles Sunday! He hates napping alone so I may have joined him for a bit :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
