Army Green

So I have this new favorite piece of clothing! Never thought I would be an army jacket type of girl but I was proven wrong! I purchased this beauty a couple of weeks ago and I am pretty sure I've worn it everyday since! I like it way better than a denim jacket because it has a little menswear inspiration but has a ton of feminine details.

I wish Anthropologie made it in Navy too because I would have purchased that color as well! But alas a girl can't get everything she wants now can she?

I think it is the perfect piece to take with you when you travel because it goes with everything! You never know what the weather is going to be like or if you are going to catch the rare cold plane.

School Days

I'm lusting after these Rag and Bone Oxfords right now.

They remind me of grade school. Because when I was running around the playground these were the type of shoes we wore. I'm pretty sure the price tag wasn't as hefty (Rag and Bone version is $495, Yikes!). I just love the no laces look on this pair so if you guys know of any similar  without the hefty price tag send me the link. For now I will keep dreaming about winning the lotto so I can buy these shoes.

How I accidently almost ruined a marriage....

So a little back story on me, I live in a home owned by a couple of friends who live in another state and only come back to Louisiana for big events (think Holidays, weddings and LSU football). Anyway, this couple made it home last weekend because the big event of choice was the Baton Rouge St. Patrick's Day parade. (it's kind of a big deal in these parts and we live two blocks away from the center of it all).

Flashback: Thursday night I was getting ready for a friends going away party when I realized I had a piece of underwear in my nightstand that didn't belong to me. I thought "Oh my laundry must have gotten mixed up with A's the last time she was in town I will just throw it in her suitcase." (Wouldn't you think the same?) Well, I didn't mention anything to A because I thought she would just recognize them and think nothing of finding them in her bag.

Present Day: I received a phone call this morning from A asking me if I thought M was cheating on her. Ummm, NO! What in the world!!!!? It's only 6:45 in the morning! Was I awake enough for a question like that? Hmmmm, Probably not. Well, A proceeds to tell me why she thinks M is cheating on her. She tells me she found someones panties in her suitcase. In my head I am going, "OH SHIT, This is totally my fault!" So I have to stop her mid sentence to tell her what happened. Boy did I feel bad making A and M think something was going on. I am sure it was hard for them both to sleep last night. But I do have to say I wish I had been a fly on the wall when A held up the panties and asked M where they came from. I am sure his face was priceless! Anyway, that is my how I accidentally almost broke up a marriage. These things only happen to me. Pretty sure I should write a book.

It's Been Awhile

So it's been a really long time since I have posted on this site. Honestly it was because I was posting on Wordpress instead. No excuses right. Well, I figure I'll use this blog to show you a little of the fun things I have been doing and to track my weight loss progress. I know sounds like fun right!!!?

A little bit about myself. I'm from Louisiana and love it but that doesn't mean I don't use every excuse I can find to pack a bag and head out on an adventure. I love to travel! Not real sure where I picked up the travel bug but I love finding new places to explore.

                                                    This is me in Italy a couple of years ago.

I really love to read. I look like the Bag Lady when I leave the library. So I am sure I will use this space to share my favorite and not so favorite books with you.

I guess what you really need to know about me is I am a football fanatic! I love my Tigers (LSU)!
I try to make every home game and sometimes even the away games. Pretty sure I bleed Purple and Gold.

                              Tailgating before the LSU/Bama game this year. Geaux Tigers!

I've recently tried to become a runner (what I really mean is I've tried to like running). It's been a struggle but every time I reach a new milestone I get excited. I want to do my I crossed the finish line dance. But I'm sure the people at the gym might call the cops on me! I've also recently picked Pilates back up. But this isn't just your regular Pialtes! It's Pilates on a machine that looks like a huge torture device. That being said I love every minute of the torture!

This is a Megaformer and no I do not look like her when I use this torture device. Someday!

That's it for now. I can't wait to have you guys join me on my journey. Weather it's thru books, travel, or working out

XOXO,
