Wordless Wednesday: Word Edition

I guess this is not really “wordless Wednesday” but I had some things to share.

As I’m sure you noticed I have been MIA recently. This is due to the fact that my personal, work and social life has been extremely busy. I feel like the energizer bunny and I can barely find a moment to sleep, let alone blog.

It makes me sad that I haven’t been as consistent as I would like but I know in the end all the hard work I have been doing will pay off.

Right now the quote below has been inspiring me. I listen to the song about 197483972342 times a day.

 

 

Dear Country music, you make everything better.

And here is the song:

Chambray Season

It’s no secret that one of this season’s hottest trends is chambray. I have to admit, a year ago one of my roomies bought a chambray a shirt and I was not a fan. So call me a hypocrite but now I am a huge fan. I only have one piece, a shirt from Madewell, but  I have found endless ways to style it.

This outfit is very typical for what I wear to work each day. I have this J. Crew skirt in a multitude of different colors and absolute love it. Throw in a little leopard print for some unexpected whimsy and you are good to go.

A Wearable Room: Emily Henderson

When I first saw this room I knew I needed to use it as inspiration to style an outfit.

This color blasted living room was designed by the über talented Emily Henderson who not only has an ever inspiring blog but also a show on hgtv, Secrets From a Stylist. Hello, dream job.

I have to admit, if I could only choose one channel to watch for the remainder of my life, it would hands down by HGTV.

Busy Bee

Lately I have been a busy, busy girl.

Between work, mini vacations, social plans, working out and keeping up with my DVR, I have barely found time to blog.

Even though I have been sparse on my blog posting, I have 100% been able to keep up with my blog reading (that is one perk to being caged working in a cubical all day) and love following along with all of you on your blogs!

I promise to try to be better but you see, I have also been busy planning.

Planning big things.

Soon enough I will share my plans but for right now here are some inspirational quotes that have been helping me along the way.

Sigh. Sometimes life is confusing.

Things that make me happy today:

1. The last 60 seconds of the Gossip Girl season finale. The rest was WHACK.

2. Figuring things out

3. Faith

LBD

A little black dress is a timeless classic. They always make the list for “ten pieces you must own” and it’s no secret they should be a staple in every girl’s closet.

Black is my favorite color to wear so personally I can not get enough of the LBD.

This mini dress from Candela is fun, flirty the layered texture makes my heart flutter.

*************

Things that make me happy today:

1. Today is my Friday. Hello 4 day work week

2. Charity event with my work bffs tonight

3. Going home this weekend for Mother’s Day
