Her name was Lola

Sweater, shorts, accessories & socks- Forever 21 / Parka- Old Navy / Boots- Jeffrey Campbell

So there is a reason for the title of my post. John and I had some friends over this past Saturday, and they brought their little girl. She is the most adorable child I have seen to date! Her name is Lola and she is 1 1/2. She quickly became comfortable with us and I could not seem to get away from her (or vice-versa). 

Anyway, I really have been trying to to make more posts, but with a full-time job, daily yoga, and Pinterest, I cannot seem to find the time. I know that seems like such a line, but I will really try to step it up! Also, I posted the last picture because of my hairstyle. I was so proud of myself for doing this! I have seen it on so many other girls and I've always wanted to try it. I found an awesome tutorial at GalMeetsGlam@blogspot.com . Check it out!

Power shoulder leather jacket- Storets / Scarf-via TJ Maxx / Jeans- Zara / Boots- Asos

During Thanksgiving weekend, I accompanied my husband John on a business trip to Corpus Christi, TX. I have only been there one other time (22nd bday celebration thanks to some 0f my best friends), but I had never experienced it with freezing cold temperatures. While he was at his meeting early in the morning, I decided to get myself a latte and go and enjoy the beautiful beach (we had a beachfront view from our hotel!) It was so peaceful and serene. I then remembered that one of my all-time favorite artists has a memorial in made her honor when she died. Who other than Selena?! I remembered I was around 8 or 9 when tragedy struck. I was one of those little girls that had choreographed dances to ALL of her songs-ALL OF HER SONGS :-) I spent a good amount of time there-just reminiscing.

Now, isn't my jacket AH-mazing?! I actually bought it last Fall at Storets.com due to a very inspiring blogger Chiara from TheBlondeSalad.com.She looked so amazing sporting this baby that she totally convinced me. I was also very into the Balmain power shoulder look then. Still am actually :) This jacket totally fits like a glove and I am trying really hard not to wear it with everything I own. I made the mistake of "hiding" it in the back of my closet last year and totally forgot all about it once the cold weather came along. Not making that same mistake this year!

Allison Harvard

 

 

 

 

Hello all! So this is Allison Harvard and she is amazing! She became my favorite competing models on America's Next Top Model when she first competed on Cycle 12. I remember I was SO upset when she got sent home. I was very excited to hear that they decided to have an "All Stars" season for Cycle 17 and that Allison was going to be one of the models to get a second shot at a contract! She is so completely adorable and it almost seems like there is nothing she can't do! Above are some shots and stills from both Cycles 12 & 17. She is so adorably weird and in Game's words: "Allison, you...are..so...weird." But he loves to love her. As we all. 

It turns out she is a little weirder that I thought-and that just make her all that better! Check out this video:

 

 

And a tumbler page I found:

 I would love love love to meet her and tell her just how awesome she is! You rock Allison!

 (I just realized I might have a small crush on her-can you tell? :-) Haha)

It's time to shop, m'dear!

Okay, so I am officially obsessed with online shopping. It has consumed all most of my free time. I say "most" because my husband eventually points out that I have been on my computer for about 3 hours and claims that I'm not paying any attention to him. Haha, he's so cute when he whines.
