Life Lately.

Images via my Instagram: llovestoshare

This month has definitely been a test of my inner strength. I'm going to be honest, I've been in a bit of a downer funk. I have had to work on staying positive and hopeful. Little things like working out, getting my Starbucks, and trying new beauty stuff are my ways of adding a bit of brightness to my week. My boyfriend and I have gone on quick local adventures too, which definitely helped me to realize the bigger picture and how thankful I am to live in such a beautiful area. Something that has come out of this funk: a better idea of what I want for my future.

 

                                                                  

Time to push forward and achieve.

Share: Fur Babies.

images via my iphone & instagram: llovestoshare

Happy Friday girls. I thought I'd share some of my favorite moments with my two fur babies. Smalls & Jameson. I am a huge sucker for dogs in general.. so I'm really not surprise that I find myself snapping more pictures of these two than I do of my ootds. They kinda melt my heart.

Here is a little more about the boys.

Smalls // Chihuahua // almost 5 yr old // Likes the taste of mom's iced coffee // Is afraid of bugs // Likes to be buried under blankets.

Jameson // Saint Bernard-Lab-Mix // 15 weeks old // Likes to hold the leash on walks // Has good taste in shoes // Will sloppier on yoga pants.

They are still getting use to each other [ more like Smalls is starting to warm up to Jameson's puppiness ] but over all I couldn't ask for better nature dogs. Both are huge lovers, full of cuddles and kisses. I'm definitely a lucky lady.


Enjoy your weekend. xx

Can We Talk: Chin Up.

For the past few months I have been job hunting. I'm sure most, if not all of you, can relate to the frustrations that come with this.. Lots of online application with no way to follow through, and endless hours waiting for a phone call/ email/ any sign of life from the other end. I find myself taking it super personal [ like I must not be qualified/ maybe my resume wasn't good enough, etc.] but I know that I need to keep my chin up. Something will work out. Someone will give me a chance. I will find the perfect job. Nothing happens over night, right? Patiences.

Anyone else in the same boat as me? Any tips you care to share about what has worked well for you?

Fingers crossed for me. xx

WW: Two - Pieces.

sources: one. / two. / three. / four. / five. / six. / seven. /

Since I killed my abs the other night during my workout.. all I want this Wednesday is a perfect two - piece. I'm guilty of being one of those chicks that mismatches my suits // I'm usually drawn to bright tops and solid bottoms (preferably black). I still have a little work to do on my abs before I'll be slipping one on but now is the time to purchase before all the cute ones are gone. Have you spotted any suits this season that you like? How do you feel about the fringe top trend? I think its fun, but I get a little ocd about tan lines.. is that just me?!

Hope you are enjoying your Wednesday. xx

I know flower crowns are not a new trend, but lately I've been seeing a lot of them. They definitely make me excited for spring and I kinda want to attempt to make my own, don't you?! They add the perfect feminine touch. I would love to wear one with a maxi dress and edge it up a little with my black leather jacket (like the last picture). Do any of you have a flower crown? Purchased or homemade?

Love (who.what.wear) Tee.

Outfit: Love Tee (Who What Wear) - BustedTees / Striped Pants - Target / Heels - Nine West 

Watch - Marc by Marc Jacobs / Ivory Bangle - Kate Spade / Zig-Zag Bangles - Luna Boutique 

Thin Gold Charm Bangle - Nordstrom

While on Instagram last week I came across Who What Wear announcing the relaunch of their website.  Naturally, I was pretty excited and went to check it out. I immediately noticed their Love Tee they created and jumped all over it. Well, it arrived on Tuesday and I couldn't wait to dress it up. Because the tee is a looser fit, I decide to go with a skinny pant and heels to pump things up. I definitely had fun with it. 

Some other ideas: wear it with a high-waisted skirt, or pair it with a blazer and boyfriend jeans. A big statement necklace would work too. 

The options are endless // the great thing about a perfect white tee.

I am so grateful for my BFF who took these awesome pictures for me. She is truly talented and I am obsessed with her work. Katie Michelle, you are going places girl and I am honored that I get to be apart of your portfolio. Love Ya! [KMS Photography]

Spring is right around the corner, and as much as I would like to hold on to winter just a little bit more, I am really excited about sandal weather. I was on Piperlime "window shopping" and put together this week's Wanted Wednesday. I am a sucker for an ankle strap this spring and pops of color! My feet are definitely ready for a change.. and a cute pedi to go along with it. I'm a big fan of DV/ Dolce Vita so I will be grabbing a couple pairs of their's soon. What are some of your favorite brands for spring? Any particular style you prefer?

Enjoy your Wednesday. xx
