The Perfect Summer Dress

Ugh! It never fails. I want to find something specific, and am able to find everything but! It's so frustrating to me. I've been recently browsing summer dresses, but to my avail, nothing is working!

For Instance:

Disregard my running tan lines...yikes

Apparently I need boobs for these two...kept falling right off me! Defeated...

These just weren't doing it for me either...

Any suggestions?! I'm hoping to head to F21 sometime and try on as many as I can! I'm not giving up!

Sephora

I went a little nuts at Sephora this last time...Lindsey wasn't there to reign me in, but I had a little extra shopping money, and I was in NYC (more to come on that later), so it happened.
Here is a compiled list with pictures of my purchases!

Naked Palette 2. I'm obsessed and do not know how I ever lived without it!

Benefit Watts Up!? Highlighter.

Buxom Lipgloss in Sandy (it's a lighter nude than what is in this picture!)

Flurry Up

Cartwheels on the Catwalk

Recent Running

I didn't want to blog this too soon and jinx myself...but now that I'm 178 miles in...I'm running PAIN FREE!!! For those of you who "know" me, you know I had several injuries in the last two years. I broke my foot...and landed myself in a boot (my bestie was there for moral support!!)...then I tore the bursa in my knee. I literally felt like my knee would never be strong enough to run again. It proved me wrong!

I've been doing two long runs (7-8 miles) a week, along with a few mid-distance runs. Yesterday, while on a 6-miler with my running friend, Ashley, I noticed some twinges in my shins. I quickly realized it was time for new shoes. I'm not playing around with my legs! If they hurt, I ice (crazy concept), stretch, and even eat right! It's insane. I definitely have the runner's high going on. I'm addicted.

Anyway, long story short...I got new shoes! I really wanted to try the Asics I blogged about back in January, but I just couldn't do it. I ran in them at Dick's SG, and they just didn't feel the same as my beloved Brooks Adrenalie GTS 12 ($109.99). I'm obsessed. They're like heaven on my feet!

These are by far the most cushioned and form fitting shoe I have tried on. I also have a few other NECESSARY running items I'd like to share.

Under Armour HeatGear Touch Capri $39.99

Nike G87 Tank $42.00



UA Semi-fitted Long Sleeve (great for early morning brisk runs)

And of course...
My Garmin 110 saves my life daily! I have no idea how Lindsey and I trained for a 1/2 marathon without this product!

Have a great day and HAPPY RUNNING!!!

Monday Must Haves

This is just a brief picture/list of things I'm lusting after! I'm not into video tutorials. Just a few quick pictures to browse is more my cup of tea! So here you go....

Asics 2170

Stila Smoky Eye Palette or something comparable!

Boscia Cleanser

Nike Pacer Shorts

Let's Talk Books...

There are so many books that I'm dying to read right now! Thankfully, I have a Kindle and can order books with 1-click anytime I want :)
I am currently finishing up with this book. I got it for Christmas. I am a HUGE Tebow fan, and have been since he was first at Florida. This book far surpassed my expectations, and is NOT a football book at all.
Once this is completed, I'll be moving on to the Jeff Ashton book my bestie got me. We were both totally entralled and appauled at the Casey Anthony trial. This book will go quickly!


After completing these two hardbacks, I'm moving on to order the following on my Kindle!
