A Week Off in Photos...

So I had the week off this week, and it basically consisted of food, shopping, sunshine and getting back on the grind. It was super great to have a chance to relax - so here it is, my week in photos....

After two months of being kind of lazy on not really exercising like my usual old self, I decided to take this week to get back on the grind which consisted of Yoga and Running every day....

 

And because I was exercising so much I of course had deliciousness to balance it out...

I also made sure to take a day to visit the girls over at Gypsy Warrior, I've shared their great clothes and jewelry here before, so it only made sense to stop by this week....

I made off with TONS of magical goodies

The head band

Love the studded pockets on these jean shorts

The rest of the week consisted of laying out in the sunshine with cool people and friend time

Overall it was a great week and I'm so glad I got to take time and chill out. Now to get ready for Monday!!! First day on the new job cannot wait - look for an update tomorrow.

Friday the 13th - Jam of the Day

So today is Friday the 13th, and most people think that this is a day full of bad luck and weirdness, but I happen to be a huge fan of Friday the 13th. I think it's full of magical possibilities! So here is my jam of the day for this Magical occasion....

Helter Skelter<3

Alabama Shakes

I'm currently obsessed with the Alabama Shakes new album and really everything about them - CHECK EM' OUT!!

Alabama Shakes - Hold On

New Orleans Love

My friends and I were talking about the city of New Orleans the other day, and for those who don't know me, when it comes to New Orleans -- I'm Obsessed. It is one of my favorite cities, coming in second only to New York, and I'm actually planning a trip for my 25th birthday in September! New Orleans is simply amazing and hard to describe, but if you haven't been you really should make it a point to visit one day.

Here are a few reasons why New Orleans is great:

1) You can drink on the street. That's right kids you can walk into a bar order a beer and if you aren't feeling it you can walk right out, with beer in hand, and move on. Uh-Mazing.

2) The People are the friendliest people I've ever encountered. It's true every single person I met, from waiter to random stranger on the street was incredibly friendly, always asking what I've seen so far and making suggestions on where to eat/hang/drink/visit and so on. They really LOVE living in New Orleans and want you to love it too!

3) Mardi Gras. Yes this may be obvious but trust me until you experience it you have no idea how much fun this really is. 

4) Cafe' DuMonde - this is a famous cafe' in New Orleans and its so fun! It's outside under this huge canopy where you can order THE BEST COFFEE (and I'm harsh about my coffee) and Beignets - deliciouso. 

5) The Weather - I was there in February and all I needed was a light jacket. Mind you I'm sure in July I wouldn't love the weather but hey this is based off my experience so we're gonna stick with this reason. 

6) The French Quarter. You literally feel like you are in a small European town, when you're actually in the state of Louisiana. Gotta. Love. It. 

Those are just a few reasons but seriously YOU MUST GO VISIT. Here are some visuals for you:

I'm Back and Better Than Ever

So I realize I have been MIA for oh a month (I know I suck - apologies) I've had a lot going on these past 4 weeks, that I really could not discuss until now. Let's some it all up though shall we, the things I could and couldn't discuss this past month....

The Black Keys <3

At Madison Square Garden

My friends and I went to go see the Black Keys last month and they were AMAZING. They are one of the bands that I have never seen live, and I'm so so so happy I went it was great!

The Hunger Games

In IMax Opening Weekend.... Yes that is right my friends and I went to see the 11:55am showing on Saturday opening weekend and here is my review: THANK GOD THEY MADE IT A MOVIE. While they could have focused more on my beloved Peeta, it was a great set up of what is to come. The theater was packed. We arrived an hour early and already had to wait in a line to get in, thank God we already purchased the tickets.

Friend Time <33

I don't have a photo... and even if I did I couldn't post it, because I know she wouldn't want me to, but my best friend Lauren, who's wedding I get to be a part of this coming October, took us bridesmaids dress shopping. I think in RECORD time, we found theee bridesmaid dress in under 30 minutes. Quite a feat for 5 girls to do if you ask me. I was prepared for days of shopping but hey we know what we like. It was a super fun day and the lovely bride took us out for lunch afterwards... It's going to be a great wedding!!

Last but not least.... I will be starting a new job next week!!

I recently left my job, which was bittersweet because I loved the people I worked with, but like they say when it's time it's time. So I'm happy/excited to say that this Monday I will be starting at VaynerMedia... check them out!!!

So that isn't everything, I mean its hard to some up 4 weeks, but those are the highlights! Don't worry I promise that I'll be posting regularly so I don't have to do these roundups anymore.

Flashback Friday - Fiona Apple

So apparently Fridays are now Flashback Fridays? This is what I have been informed of today by a few friends so in the spirit of Flashback Friday here's a little 1996 action for ya...

Fiona Apple - Criminal. This song was the shit when it came out, the video is so classic/amazing/iconic it was pretty legit I don't really remember why but I do remember that I still love it!!!
