Lovable Friday!

1. Hair Chalk; Since my hair is shorter now, I don’t really have all the options I did before for fun ombre and fashion colors. That’s why I’m all about these temporary hair chalks! They are easy to apply, come in vibrant colors and wash out without a problem. Sign me up!

2. Batman Money Clip; I have a lot of nerds and dorks in my life. And I would never have it any differently. When I saw this Batman money clip, I knew I had found the perfect gift item! Definitely keeping for future reference.

3. Glitter Mani; Although I’m no longer very adventurous when it comes to unique manicures (they always seem easy enough, don’t they???), this one has me itching to attempt a recreation. I mean, does this read princess or what? May be worth the effort! 😉

4. Flamingo Bikini; It’s almost time for bikini season…well, let’s be honest. It Miami, it’s always bikini season! My first bikini encounter will be next weekend at the Floatopia event, and oh how I wish I could debut this ADORABLE number from Victorias Secret. Not only is it electric and fun, but it represents the 305 with its quirky little flamingos to the tee! Total must have.

5. DIY Ottoman; IKEA makes it so easy to have a fresh and hip home on a budget! Its affordable furniture makes it easy to use for DIY’s, especially this one. Seems like after only a few easy steps, you can have a statement piece for your living room (or even bedroom – think of it in front of your bed!). Best part? The grand total is a whopping $8! Love.

Join Me in being Pretty Muddy!

If the image above looks like your idea of spending a day with the girls, then you are definitely going to want to check out the Pretty Muddy 5k. It was initially the brain child of two businessmen who were constantly in awe of their wives and everything they managed to juggle on a daily basis. They wanted them (& all women in general) to have a way to get together and focus on friendship, fun and fitness – without their significant others, their kids and the stress of the daily grind. And so Pretty Muddy was born!

What I like about this 5k is that it is all about fun. It doesn’t matter if you have to go around some obstacles you don’t feel comfortable with or aren’t a lifetime member of Crossfit. This is just an event to promote health, happiness and friendship among women. And what’s not to love about that?

If you want to join me in being Pretty Muddy in Miami, sign up for the race (I’ll be racing during the 12 noon wave)! It isn’t until December, so you have more than enough time to prepare, if that’s what you want to do. For me, it will be right after our trip to the UK & Amsterdam, so I’m sure I’ll need the added exercise (heh).

Happy Hump Day {Role Reversal}: Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore is such a girls girl, isn’t she? I remember she was the first actress I saw and wanted to be like. She was the perfect mix of glamorous and wild: so spontaneous and carefree. I personally think she was at her best in Mad Love (am I dating myself?) and I could watch Never Been Kissed all day every day. But what I love about her the most is her spirit – I wish I could bottle it or somehow channel it. She is also growing an empire: forget just Flower Films – she also has her own wine (Pinot Grigio no less) and just launched a beauty line, Flower Beauty, which I’ve only heard good things about.

Just ask my friend, Ashley. She runs the popular Drew fansite, The Drewseum. Check it out and the rest of this post!

What I Wore: Lily Dawson

So, as you all can tell, I kind of like this blouse. Just a little. If I could wear it every day, I would. And I knew I had to recreate this outfit using it as soon as humanly possible. Of course, it helped that I added an extra special touch in the form of this gorgeous necklace from Lily Dawson Designs. The rhinestone necklace has this amazing ombre detail that makes it seem like it is on fire. I guess it lives up to its name, the Handpainted Flame necklace. Just call me Katniss Everdeen.
