Happy Monday friends! I don't know about any one else but I'm really missing the three day weekends I had grown accustomed to over the past few weeks. It was so nice to have that extra day to get stuff done or just relax. I'm not at all ready to be back at work this morning. Like everyone else, we had our first true cold front move through this weekend and while unfortunately it didn't bring any snow for me, we did get temperatures down in the 30's which is crazy for Florida. Of course I got out and about this weekend and took full advantage. Linking up with Biana for our weekend recap!

Friday was a relaxing evening at home with hibachi and some games before the cold front moved in. Nothing overly exciting but a nice way to start the weekend for sure.

Saturday I woke up to a cold and rainy day so I ran some errands and hung out inside for a bit before heading down to Pointe Orlando for some food and drinks. Sometimes I forget how much there is to do here in Orlando so it's nice to head over to the touristy part of town and take in the sights every once in awhile. 

Sunday morning was a bit rough. I woke up to 35 degree weather so I spent most of the morning under the blankets watching tv until we decided to get going for the day. The college football National Championship is in Tampa so we headed over to take in some of the festivities. It's not every day that college football's biggest game is in town so it was fun to take part in everything. Plus a freezing cold but free Gavin Degraw and Usher concert? Yes please!

Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Happy Friday dolls! We made it through the first full week of January! I don't know about any one else but I was definitely more busy this week than I have been in the past few weeks so it's been rough getting back into the swing of thing and remembering how I balanced work, personal and blog life so bare with me while I figure all that out again. With Christmas over I really shouldn't be spending any more money but there have just been so many great sales lately that I can't resist. Please tell me I'm not the only one? So today I decided to share a few of my favorites that have gone on sale since Christmas!

1 // Leave it to GiGi to have all the cute things on sale after the holidays. I'm a huge fan of my Uber Clutch but it's not practical for every day. This is the perfect size (for me) for running around on the weekends, it looks incredibly similar to the Gucci Soho bag but for literally a fraction of the price.

2 // If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed these (in black) in a few pictures lately. I bought them as a little Christmas present to myself and they are SO comfy. The black is currently out of stock but the brown is super cute too.

3 // My favorite faux leather jacket is currently on sale for $40 off and if they had it on sale in the cognac as well I would definitely be scooping it up in that color. It's so comfy and looks great with just about everything! I even wore it to one of the Christmas parties I attending with a fancy dress and got compliments on how cute it was. 

4 // I am probably one of the few people in the world who haven't jumped on board the Zella legging crazy (not because I don't want to but because the ones I want are NEVER in my size) but these are my go-to workout leggings for now. I currently have them in 3 colors and since they're currently on sale for $15 I think I might be getting a few more... ;) 

5 // Thanks to Kerri, I cannot. Stop. Buying. These. The most recently color I picked up was Noble, which is a petal pink nude and so gorgeous for every day. I love how long these last too! 

And, I just realized that everything in this post is either black or blush... I apparently have a thing with those colors lately! Haha! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

You know what they say, after the show it's the after party... or in this case the After Party Sale! I'm not the biggest Lilly Pulitzer obsessed person on the planet, heck, I'm not even the biggest Lilly person in my office; but I have to admit, Lilly does make some pretty classic and timeless pieces that are not only staples but are also great for vacationing which I plan on doing a lot of this year. One of my co-workers used to work for Lilly and after hearing some things from her, I only buy stuff during the major Lilly sales and since today at 8 am kicks off the After Party Sale, I decided to share a few of my favorite Lilly pieces . Of course I'm sure none of these will be included in the sale because let's be real, that's how my luck works and I have a bit of insider knowledge but I thought I'd share any way. So jump online quick, the queue for the sale can get pretty long (yup, there's actually a queue to get onto the site) and things sell out quickly!

Happy shopping! Be sure to let me know what you snagged during the sale!

Happy 2017 dolls! I can't believe it's finally a new year! This one is going to be a good one, I can just tell. Although, 2016 didn't set the bar too high so I guess as long as it's better than that I can't complain. I hope everyone had a fabulous time ringing in the New Year. I kept it incredibly low key this year and it was perfect. A few friends, some DELICIOUS food, lots of 90's music and games, and of course some Veuve. I was in bed before 1 am and woke up Sunday with no hangover so all in all a perfect time celebrating. The rest of my weekend was pretty relaxing which was just what I needed after the holidays and before my work website starts making me extremely busy again.

One of the other perks of this weekend is it actually got a bit cooler again and finally felt like fall (yes, I know it's winter but it's hard to say temperatures in the 50's and 60's are winter-like) so I got to break out some outfits I've been dying to wear! One of which was this lace up top and faux fur vest. I love that faux fur is still as popular this year as it was last year, it adds such a fun pop to any outfit not to mention it's nice and warm! This lace up top has definitely been one of my favorites lately, in fact you may remember me wearing it with shorts and sneakers a few weeks ago when I had the Busch Gardens debacle. In case you were wondering how that turned out, even after speaking with them multiple times they still refuse to accept fault on stranding us 200 feet in the air for 2 hours and feel that a bottle of water and half-assed apology were more than enough to make up for our inconvenience so I won't be going back to BG again. Ever. From what I've heard (thanks to social media) the ride has been broken multiple times since we were stuck on it but thankfully without anyone on it. Ok, let's finish talking about the outfit, for this look I dressed it up just a bit throwing on my favorite heels but still kept it casual with jeans. Have a fantastic week!
