The Week: Fashion, Food, Fitness

Happy Saturday!!!  This week I...
 
Kicked off another East v. West style series - this week's theme was "varsity," did you catch it?

Drooled over this belt, these pumps and these Reva flats from the Tory Burch sale (hurry, ends Monday!)

Styled my new Trask wedges in my latest Spring Style post.

Finally broke down and bought these amaze balls gladiator sandals and can't wait to get them (I'm secretly fearful they won't fit my ridiculously large calves so I'll report back on that...).

I made this delish kale salad.  Just a heads  up it is a lot of prep work but totally worth it.  It's super light and refreshing and paired perfectly with my roasted chicken (I have to admit I nixed the beans).  And since I needed it to last all week I kept the dressing separate (I also separated the lemon juice from the apples before adding them to the salad) and then just added a couple of tbsp each day to avoid it turning into a soggy mess.  Let me know if you try it!

And sadly only made it to the gym twice.  I cannot get caught up on sleep from DLST and get my butt up in the morning!

Anddd since I forgot to hit "publish" last weekend... Here are some highlights from the week before!

I stopped by the  Elaine Turner event and saw the super cute Spring/Summer collection!

I signed up to get emails from StyleUp - they send you daily outfit inspo based on the weather forecast for the next day!   Check it out here.

While I'm Waiting...

While I'm waiting for my new iPhone to finish doing it's thing (I'm secretly jumping with joy inside because my 3GS broke about a month ago so this is even more exciting than just getting a new phone/having my own personal assistant.  Trust me, I've been day dreaming about how Siri will work for me since I hit the submit button on my order!), I thought I'd focus on shoes I've been wishing for for a long time.  Also, I'm trying not to crash my computer with a picture heavy post (don't worry, a new one is on the horizon with the black Friday/cyber Monday deals):

I'm usually a high heel person but I just love these flats.  And have for a long time.   But I've got a long way to go before I splurge on them...

And a random thought from this week:  I've come to the conclusion that I NEED at least one cup of coffee before I go to work in the morning.  I've made it precisely 1.5 years into my professional career to get to this point.  I can't figure out if that's a record. 

What's your morning routine like?
