On My Mind

1 | I'm incredibly bummed I missed the Taylor Swift concert last weekend. I love her music, but I've become obsessed with Vance Joy's new song and would have loved to see him perform!

My mom actually found this gem!

2 | My online shopping spree is over. However, there are still a few things I need and #1 on my list is leopard flats. Much more difficult to find than I would have imagined. I'm really regretting donating my last pair.

Loeffler Randall, Sam Edelman, Dolce Vita

3 | My niece is the cutest thing! She's growing up so fast... 16-months-old and no longer a baby. I need to get back to Iowa ASAP to witness this cuteness in person. I have seriously watched this video hundreds of times.

Hilariousness

Looking for a laugh?

Nicole Richie and James Corden have got you covered.

Candidly Nicole is Nicole Richie's show on VH1, but it's also available on Hulu. She's one funny lady. So inappropriate and I love it.

James Corden obviously has The Late Late Show. However, 'Carpool Karaoke' and 'Take A Break' are the funniest skits on YouTube. The Carpool Karoake with Justin Beiber actually made me like Justin Beiber... never expected it.

Weekend Update

When the cat's away, this mouse will... shop and tidy up.

Brady was in Minnesota for work last week. He spent the weekend in Iowa so I kept busy having the girliest weekend ever. Shopping, cleaning, painting nails, watching chick-flicks. It was quite nice.

I always have to text Brady a pic when I run the stairs... He loves this workout for some reason

Crazy Friday night

Texting Brie for her thoughts on these flats

Breakfast! Smoothie (milk, banana, frozen mixed berries) and avocado toast

REI sale

Finally got my sunglasses fixed! They broke when we were in Arizona (in March!) and I've missed them so much

:) :) :)

Had to buy salad fixings once I spotted Panera salad dressing at Target

Painting my nails while watching Mean Girls and Pride & Prejudice

Cleaned out my closet and it feels so good (I need to tackle Brady's side next)

Sunday Funday

Brunch at Arthouse Cafe...

...with this guy!!
He only had a few hours in Washington before heading out again, but we made the most of it

Had to walk off that meal

Coveting

1 | I think it's time to invest in a camera. My iPhone 6 has served me well, but better photo quality wouldn't hurt. I've been doing a little research and this Top 10 list is helping me out.

2015 Camera Ranking

2 | My closet is extremely boring- it's overflowing with solid, neutral tees and sweaters. A few patterns would help spice things up. I also realized that I needs more shirts and blouses. ZARA and Anthro have so much choice!

ZARA Printed Blouse

3 | My iPhone has been naked for months. I should keep it in case, but it always ends up being too bulky. I'm searching for a slim case that will fit in my wristlet. This pattern just make me so happy!

Gray Malin Case

4 | My running shoes are on their last leg. I wore them hiking a few too many times and now they're looking worse for wear. I always search ASICS, Brooks, and Mizuno for new running shoes.
