Currently | Weekending Edition




Happy Monday friends! Well, the last weekend of February has come and gone and I thought I’d share what’s been going on lately via a little currently post! 


salad, kale caesar, sweet green


Eating || Trying to be really good these next two weeks before my birthday and our vacation and eating relatively clean. Loving the Kale Caesar salad from Sweet Green






Watching || We had some good old fashioned movie nights this weekend and watched Arrival & Hacksaw Ridge. Not necessarily my go to for movie choices but both were really great films. I was especially surprised with how much I liked Arrival with Amy Adams – definitely had a bit of the Interstellar feel to it. 






Reading || Well you know I’m always reading something these days – right now it’s A Window Opensand I’m about a third of the way through – it’s definitely entertaining. 






Enjoying || Over the weekend Jackie & I participated in a Unicef fundraiser which involved a workout class taught by Kelly Brabants. You might have seen a little snippet of what the class involved on my InstaStory – remember when I said that CrossFit was the hardest workout I’ve ever done, well I take that back this was equally as hard but way more fun!! You can see a little bit of the class here. She promised we’d be sore & she wasn’t kidding – I was walking all sorts of funny on Sunday! 



Wearing || Flats!! There will probably be one more brush of cold weather, but I’ve been enjoying my flats that haven’t seen the light of day since October! 






Listening || to Chained to the Rhythm by Katy Perry – have you seen the video? So bizarre, but totally Katy Perry-esque. 


block suede heels




Buying || all the things for our trip! I spent the weekend shopping around for clothes that I can wear multiple ways during the trip – I’ll still over pack #CantHelpIt! I honestly have bought two new pairs of shoes especially for the trip that I’ve already worn – including these block heels from Target – under $30 & extremely comfortable!!  





Needing || A new pair of jeans! Myfavorite jeans from Ann Taylor started to rip this weekend so it’s time for a new pair. Pictured above – my second favorite pair, but not really the ones I want to take for California. You know how you just have a pair of jeans that fit you like a glove, well those were my Ann Taylor ones, so I need them stat! 






Loving || My new concealer that I picked up on Friday. It’s my first Bare Minerals makeup product and after only a few uses I can quickly say that it’s on par with NARS creamy concealer. Not too heavy, but has enough coverage to hide those dark circles & brighten up he under eye area! 


Oscar Favorites || Of course I watched the Oscar’s on Sunday & paid the most attention to the red carpet since we were at a viewing party for the rest of it. I can’t say that there were far too many picks for best dressed for me….way more misses than hits for me! Who was your pick for best dressed? 






What fun weekend things did you get up to? Did you watch the Oscars? Link up below to share!

    You got the block heels, I LOVE them. And your red lace ups! We are just returning from one vacay and now I'm in mode to buy trip outfits for the next one in 4 weeks! I'm such a terrible packer too, so trying to be more practical this time, ha!! Healthy eating is where I'm at too, being good now to enjoy these days away!!

    Those $30 heels are SO gorgeous and what a great deal!! It's so true that there is always one go-to pair of jeans so I hope you're able to find good replacements for yours!! I totally agree that I didn't LOVE anyone's Oscar look! The only one that I thought was STUNNING was Hailee Steinfeld!

    I was at Target yesterday, and the shoe selection is so good right now! I had to walk away…
    I think Jessica Biel was my favorite from last night, just so stunning in that gold number!

    Those flats are so pretty! I've been in the market for new jeans for FOREVER (and here you cannot find anything but ridiculous super skinnies which I don't like), so I'm excited to come home and look for a couple good pairs. Have a wonderful week, sweet girl. xo

    Ooo that kale salad looks delish!! I love watching the red carpet the most during award shows, but always watch the Oscars. I loved Taraji Henson's dress (Hidden Figures) and actually Matt Damon's wife's dress was gorgeous!

    Yay for getting to break out the pretty red flats over the weekend! And that workout definitely sounds intense but fun! I have a love/hate relationship with being super sore the next day. And loving those block heels, I can't believe they're under $30! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

    That kale caesar salad looks DELISH! Now I'm going to have a salad for lunch today, girlie, thanks for the inspo, haha. That workout class sound intense! I've never taken a cross fit class before, but I've heard how intense they are, so I can imagine how rigorous this one must have been for it to be on par! I know you must have felt amazing afterwards for having gotten through the class! I love those lace up flats, as well as the new ones you got for your trip. I can never seem to find all the cute shoes at Target. Their either always sold out in my size or don't have the shoes I'm looking for at all 🙁 Thanks so much for sharing your weekend recap with us, beautiful, and I hope you're having a great start to your Monday so far!

    PS: Red is definitely YOUR color, love those red flats on you so much!

    Loving your jacket in the picture with your red flat (and the flats), and you're the second person to mention how comfortable those Target block heels are so I'm definitely getting more and more tempted to check them out! Emma Stone was probably my favorite from the red carpet- loved her dress.

    What a great Target find! They are so similar to the Steve Madden heels! Isn't Sweet Green delicious?! We have a location by our house and another by my office. Seriously dangerous because they aren't cheap! Happy Monday!
