Early 2017 Life Update

Hello friends! It's been a while since my last post and I apologize. Let me fill you in on life as of late:

After the NYC Marathon I went home for a quick weekend to surprise my grandma for her birthday (I still owe you a post on the NYC marathon - I could relive that day over and over again, it was so incredible!)

Celebrated my 29th birthday with SoulCycle, friends and bottomless brunch

Work was crazy through the end of the year which I was not prepared for

I went home to Reno for the holidays and had some solid couch/downtime 

I have officially drank the SoulCycle koolaid and have been going just about every week since December

Started Training for the Paris marathon (at this point it's a short FOUR weeks away!)

Went to Tulum, Mexico for a friend's bachelorette weekend (working on a post for you soon because it was absolutely amazing)

And that's just the big things!  I have been so excited for this year's adventures and challenges and so far it has not disappointed.  I am working on a winter marathon training update to share with you because that's been one of the things taking up most of my time (and one of the biggest challenges I've faced this year).  

In the meantime, tune back in Wednesday for a new outfit post with a brand that I absolutely love!

Birthday Lace

Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and especially wonderful Thanksgiving (for those that celebrate).  You may have seen my lace/gingham combo on Instagram last Thursday for Thanksgiving/my Birthday.  I bought this dress a couple weeks ago after drooling over it for so long.  I figured I would wear it for a holiday party if the occasion arose but I decided to wear it on my birthday/Thanksgiving instead!  I had to dress it down a bit but I could definitely dress it up with heels and a blazer.  Do you have an article of clothing that can be dressed up or down?

Dress: Anthropologie, Shirt: J.Crew (flannel version here), Tights: Anthropologie, Boots: Audrey Brooke via DSW, Necklace: Stella & Dot

Helloooo Weekend!

This has probably been one of the longest/worst weeks I've had in a while.  My plans?  Veg completely.  I do have a friends b-day/St. Patty's Day party tomorrow and the Blake Shelton concert on Sunday evening but otherwise, I'm not going to feel bad about plopping down on the couch with a cup of coffee and doing some serious blog/sleep/relaxing catch up.  I wish I could finish a DIY I started a couple of weeks ago but the weather is supposed to be bad and it requires spray painting outside... 

What do you have planned?  I hope you all have a great weekend!
