let's get skinny!

Today's the day! I've decided to make a lifestyle change. I'm no longer going to make excuses for why I can't work out. There's always an excuse, right?

I've come to a point where I'm extremely unhappy with my body. I'm no longer comfortable in my own skin. I'm lucky. I have an amazing husband that loves me the way I am. He just wants me to be healthy. I also went through a pretty traumatic experience last year, it was very hard on me emotionally and physically. My husband thinks it caused a combination of mild depression and a lot of stress. Whatever it was, my body felt it and looked it.

I'm tired of looking at photos of skinny people and other people that have lost weight. I thought, if they can do it so can I! And I am. I'm going to do it. Starting today, I have made the decision to change my mind and my body! I'm going to document my progress so I can be held accountable. If I quit, you are allowed to slap me! (not too hard, though) Starting Monday, I have already signed up for spinning classes and Pure Barre. Between the two, I am committed to changing my mind, body and spirit to get in shape and get healthy.

Who wants to join me?

zara bizarre

I never seem to have much luck at Zara but always seem to comment on other peoples outfits that they surprisingly say they purchased from Zara! Lately, I've been stalking the website and have noticed some great items. I have a pair of Zara heels that aren't particularly comfortable and some random shirts that are my favorites. Although I haven't had much luck with their shoes, it hasn't stopped me from obsessing over some of their latest. Maybe because they're all around only $80. 

What do you guys think? 

neon dreams

Theory Duria Silk Blouse

Tried this neon Theory blouse on yesterday and I am officially obsessing over it! It is the neon of all neons! The fit of this blouse was insane- it fit like a glove (minus some pulling around the bust, which happens all the time). It made me look like I had lost 5 lbs. and in my book, that's a major plus! Must...have!

rainy day obsession

I've been pining after Hunter boots for a while and have been trying to find an excuse to purchase myself a pair. But, living in LA, it's hard to justify it except when it's a rainy day like today. I had major Hunter boot envy today. I immediately come home and start scouring the web for deals. They're not expensive but not sure how much use I'd get out of them. So, my obsession continues.

sunday funday

Hubby and I had a wonderful lazy Sunday. The weather was amazing today so we went to our local farmer's market and bought our fruit and veggies for the week. Went to the animal shelter and wanted to bring home every single dog we met. Sat outside and drank beers and mimosas. What an amazing day... and it's not quite over yet!

flair

I was wanting to add a little... flair to my life. I needed a lil' cheering up.

Watch- Michael Kors/ Bracelets- F21

purple and green

Lately, I've been really into baking. This morning, I decided I wanted to try out some new colors for icing and I thought of my husbands company colors. He works for pricegrabber and their colors are neon green and bright purple.

What a perfect combination of colors for cupcake icing! Here's the end result.
