Is anyone else obsessed with Alicia Keys' "Girl on Fire?" It makes me want to become President and climb a mountain simultaneously. Plus, it's a heck of a lot of fun singing along to her 64 bars of "Oh." My bosses really love it, especially when it's on repeat at my desk.
So this week has been pretty awesome. One of my all-time favorite people is in town from Cali, I've developed an unhealthy habit of video//picture conversations at work, and have attended 4 sporting events in a 5 day period. Also, I was proposed to by an 11-year-old at work with a ring pop. I'm considering. Lastly (and most exciting), I'm officially OFF medication and feeling more and more like myself every day. It's such an amazing feeling. I made it all five days at work and somehow managed to work out 3 days, too! This.girl.is.on.fire.
Weekly Recap!
Participating in hourly picture//video chats... time well spent at BTA

And tonight? MAGIC GAME! So what if we quickly became the worst team in the league? No Dwight//Reddick//(anyone good)... no problem!
For Fabulous Finds Friday this week, I've decided to feature one of my all-time favorite low-cost stores... Kohl's. Okay, I was skeptical to commence patronizing .. until my weight forced me to resort to Junior Departments for my clothing. To my very pleasant surprise, Kohl's has ADORABLE stuff that is perpetually on sale. My favorite brands? LC Lauren Conrad, Elle, Vera Wang... the list continues.
{Taupe} Taupe is one of those classy neutral colors that's appropriate for a prim and polished look for both work and play. I like the way Lauren Conrad's collection pairs gold//taupe with shine//glamour, and she consistently does a nice job of combining these two elements throughout her entire collection. Some designs aren't particularly my taste, but she's got a lot of great//quality stuff, specifically in the shoes and accessories department.
1. LC Lauren Conrad Embellished Chiffon Dress in Taupe, Original $63, Sale $19.20
2. LC Lauren Conrad Platform Sandals, Original $74.99, Sale $51.99
3. LC Lauren Conrad Gold Tone Simulated Crystal Bow Headband, Original $24, Sale $14.99
4. LC Lauren Conrad Gold Tone Simulated Crystal Flower Button Stud Earrings, Original $12, Sale $7.20
{Springtime Dresses} Spring is around the corner! Time flies like woah. I'm so impressed with Kohl's selection of dresses this year, it's insane. Here are a few of my favorites from AB Studios and Apt. 9:
2. Apt. 9 Pleated Shift Dress, Original $40, Sale $23.99
3. Apt. 9 Striped Hi-Low Dress, Original $54, Sale $32.40
Now excuse me while I go waste my paycheck. I hope you all have a wonderful//fabulous//exciting weekend. Kissessss!

That's a great song. Even my husband loves it. I love Lauren's Kohl's line, and they have the cutest baby clothes there too. :)

I think I know more guys who like the song than girls(so weird!). Kohl's has quickly become one of my favorite stores... they have EVERYTHING. I go there for clothes, shoes, coffee (yes, they have K cups), and home decor... quickly becoming my new Target! Have a fabulous weekend :)

I am loving Girl On Fire. SO good.
ReplyDeleteTaupe is a difficult color for me, but I love the headband. And I LOVE all three of the dresses. Super cute.
SO GOOD! And taupe is more difficult for me when I'm pale... definitely brings out my natural Polish skin tone. Have a wonderful weekend!
