Sears Big Memorial Day Sale

What's better than a #TGIF? Oh, a little sale action on the side + a long weekend. That's right you guys, this weekend we're hitting up the beaches, getting toasty at a BBQ, and asking dad for a drive to Sears for their major Memorial Day Sale

Yep, this weekend the sales are ON. I saved up some funds to help spruce up my tiny apartment with some of Sear's best offerings and getting dad to help drive me (i.e. help with purchases). Plus, my dad is the pickiest shopper so I rather he be there to pick out his Father's Day gift early.

Here's my plan of attack:

- Window treatments for my living room (and keep that hot heat out)
- A sturdy carry-on for my summer travels (extra 15% with TRAVEL15)
- Fierce one-piece for pool parties (and hopefully Miami)
- An air purifier because I never want to deal with this pollen ever again. 

I'm not in the market for a mattress but do know how expensive it can be. So if you or anyone you know are looking to upgrade their "hay" so to speak make sure you point them in the direction of Sears. They're slashing prices here (60% off + another 10%) which is pretty amazing.

After all that much needed home maintenance you better believe I'm going to help myself to even more hamburgers and hot dogs.

Oh, and if there isn't a Sears around you - don't forget the sale is happening online right now.

Laid Back

Guys, this weekend was amazing! Remember that half I was telling you about, well it happened on Saturday. I managed to get a PR (personal record) and had the most uh-mazing nap after.

In fact a lot of sleeping and eating happened right after the half, can you blame me tho? Also, allergies. They almost made the half impossible but I prevailed without Claritin - still don't know how I was able to breathe. 

After 13.1 miles of running (5 miles of that in the rain) all a girl wants to do is wear birks without offending the office. In fact all I (and my feet) want to do is be comfortable AF. Still, I gotta look, you know presentable.

Enter this amazing maxi long enough to hide all of my guilty pleasures which consist of my white birks and food baby (running really works up an appetite). I was lucky enough to find this top on sale on Shopbop. I've been eyeing it since NYFW 14 - after a long wait I bit the bullet before buyer's remorse set in. Gotta tell you - there are no regrets either! Since a long weekend lies ahead I've been using this large carry-all from Sakroots to help me keep it together.

But, when Monday (yasss Memorial Day) comes over it'll be my beach tote. What are your plans for the long weekend?

Performance Wear

Only a few more days until pounding the pavement for the #airbnbbkhalf!

Training these last few weeks have been rough schedule-wise. You got your AM runs, yoga classes, showroom visits + events, and let's not forget what pays the rent - a 9 to 5 job. Trying to look semi-presentable throughout it all is tough but doable since athlesiure is huge right now - can I get a hallelujah!

Which brings me to Lucy's latest spring collection. You can basically go (#lucyletsgo) from sweat to work to cocktails in it, although I'd recommend having some sort of base under it to do the sweating in and later peeling it off. Otherwise things can get a little stinky (if we're being honest).

I'm living in these Dance Workout Capris from Lucy and if the time calls for a dressier look - strappy heels work wonders. As for the jewelry, I've been skipping necklaces and earrings and opting for gold midi rings from local designer Jewels of June instead. The gold plated rings look best when stacked so make sure to get more than 1 from her site or mix and match with what you have at home.
