SUMMER

Although summer has not officially begun, school is out and the summer heat is here. With a few changes going on in my life I have decided to devote more time to blogging my thoughts and ideas and reading others more often for inspiration! Spring semester finished up in early May and not much has been going on in Athens - but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy! Between work, summer class and hanging out with friends I've been shopping (of course!) and trying to get back into shape. This October Athens will be hosting their first annual 1/2 Marathon! I am hoping to complete it with a little inspiration from friends and family. Along with getting back into running Amelia and I have been sneaking into the dance building for a little ballet time - I am sewing my pointe shoes soon to get back on my toes! Over the past few weeks I have really contemplated what makes me happy in life and am trying to throw myself into that fully - I am so thankful for the life I live - my wonderful sweet roomate Jill, my loving family, a supportive and inspiring circle of friends, and the opportunity to attend a great university - GO DAWGS! More posts later this week on my fun finds from the weekend!

Spring Shopping!

I am soooo ready for some Spring weather!  Last week was Spring Break which was much needed.  After visiting my sister in Charleston we headed to Jacksonville Beach and participated in the Gate River Run!  It was so much fun & my next goal is to complete a 1/2 marathon!  We'll see....  Yesterday was so icky and I'm ready for sunshine!  With so much coming up this Spring there are a few wants/needs, of course.  

So far I have found:

Fun floral dress form Urban Outfitters - on sale for $30!


Some nude pumps similar to these - inspired by Jill and Melissa in D.C.!


A Kate Spade Opus bag!!! Great deal on Gilt!


Some brown wedges from Target!  Only $20!



But I still want:

A flouncy short-sleeved floral silk dress like this one from Mod Cloth!
Grey pave crystal ball earrings...so sparkly!



A simple khaki/neutral skirt like this one from Banana



Cropped skinny pants in a neutral color



A LBD in Cobalt!  Loveee this one with the bow!
