What I Wore: LA Living

I’m back from vacation, and I come bearing gifts! Namely, an outfit post! It feels like centuries since I did one, but I’m glad I was able to squeeze a few minutes out of our hectic visit to LA in order to shoot one. We were there for a friend’s wedding and had entirely too much fun. The weather was spectacular as well, allowing me to pull out all those new winter items I never get to rock back home. Leather jackets, boots, scarves and this immensely comfy sweater tunic. And yes, I’m bringing back jeggings (did they go away?) because they are possibly the best article of clothing when you are jet lagged, tired and hung over – not that I was any of those things when these photos were taken. I promise. 😉

Creative 5K’s Coming to Town

Although I’m not one of those girls that gets excited about going to the gym or working out (can’t I just stay in bed sipping on a mimosa?), I love the slew of creative 5K’s that are popping up all over the place lately! I think it’s not only a great way to get active, but also a unique way to spend time with friends and do something a little different. Although “different” may be easy to find elsewhere, it is definitely lacking in Miami so I am very glad to see some of these quirky races coming to our neck of the woods.

Here are just a few that are coming our way;

1. 5K Foam Fest || 2. Color Me Rad 5K || 3. Pretty Muddy || 4. Dirty Girl Mud Race

Would you participate in a fun 5K?
I think I’m going to attempt the Color Me Rad race in February! Any takers?

Pardon me, Ban.do.

So the always festive Ban.do has released it’s new holiday collection and I am head over heels for basically every single piece. I die. I mean, how can you go wrong with their tagline for the collection: Pardon me, I’m sparkly. Funny thing is, I’m pretty sure I could make this statement all throughout the year, not just during the holidays. This time of year just gives me an extra excuse (as if I needed one) to bring out the bling in a big way.

Here are some of my favorites, but make sure to check out the full collection here;

1; flurry pouf || 2; sequin scarf || 3; glitter bow shoe clips || 4; contrast headband || 5; gliterrati twist scarf || 6; drinking the stars comb

 

Which one is your favorite?
