The Tracy Anderson Method

Lately, I have been searching for a workout I will really enjoy and will leaving me feeling accomplished. I have tried P90x, but it's just too intense for me. I only feel discouraged when I can't finish the exercises. Usually, I roller blade for about an hour. However, I had a pretty serious fall a few months ago that really scared me. I injured my elbow and wrist and am left with a huge, ugly scar on my knee. Plus, summer time in Miami isn't great for exercising outdoors. So, I have decided to try some workouts from Tracy Anderson. I have been hearing her name pop up a lot lately when stars are asked about their workouts. Ladies like Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow are singing her praises. I have found some her of workouts on YouTube. Anyone want to try them out with me? I'll add the links below!

Luichiny wedges= <3

A week or so after buying my camouflage purse, I wandered into a store I had never been to before, Via Moda, because I saw these gorgeous wedges in the window.




I went in to try them on and see how well they matched my new purse, and I was pleasantly surprised! The soft tan color is the same color as the straps on the purse and the gold studs tie in perfectly with the gold details on the bag!

The price tag (89.00) stopped me from buying them immediately, though. I went home and did some research to ensure that I wouldn't be over paying for these beauties. There are a few sites online that offered them for $5-$10 cheaper, but when you factor in shipping (and waiting), its not a bargain. I wore them all day today grocery shopping and running errands and they were dreamy on my feet! I love how tall the heel is and how light the entire shoe is as a whole. I can't wait to wear these with some summer dresses!





My new purse!

After MONTHS of lusting after this gorgeous Michael Kors purse, it is finally mine! I have been walking into my local Michael Kors store weekly checking to see if the bag was on sale yet, only to be told that it was "limited edition" and would "NEVER" go on sale.

Well, about a week ago, I hit the jack pot! It was on sale for $100 off the original price and I just could not resist! A huge, loving thank you to my future hubby for buying it for me! He watched the tortuous process of me trying it on in the mirror of the store and imagining up outfits while I trotted around with it in the crook of my arm. I know it seems a little ridiculous to buy a camouflage purse, but I do tend to like my things just a *tad* ridiculous.

I have taken a page out of the southern gentleman's handbook and am wearing it with pretty much anything you can imagine and I get so many compliments! I try and stay away from patterns, but I do pair it with solids of all different colors! White, black, brown, peach, purple, red, green (obviously) and orange! It adds an unexpected, original twist to any girly outfit. I love the juxtaposition of manly camouflage with the shiny gold details! This bag is definitely one of my all time faves!!!!

Please let me know if you have any other suggestions of pairings! I could always use some help!
