West side tracks

Well what in the actual fuuuuck is life right now. 🤣 Not sure I’ve ever dropped the f-bomb on my blog before, but this time of life warrants it. So I snapped these photos the weekend before the whole world was cancelled because of the Coronavirus. It was like… the last normal weekend, haha. On this day, I woke up, met the girls for brunch at Ando, we walked over to Bridge Street Market for wine and snacks, sat on a rooftop patio drinking and talking for hours, and then when they all left, I ran out to snap some outfit photos and to head home, work on those, edit, and watch a movie. Like… normalcy? What is that? Hahaha. Since then, my job went remote for 3+ weeks, all bars and restaurants closed down for dine-in, no movies, most of the stores are closed, downtown is a ghost town, like, life is just nuts right now.

Level L

Hellooooo, March! So excited for this month because it means we’re that much closer to spring. Spring officially begins in a couple of weeks, daylight saving time begins this weekend, we’re seeing 50º+ on the forecast… I am here 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 it. Honestly winter did go by pretty quickly, but I’m just so ready to ditch boots + socks + bulky coats. Thankfully this coat is warm, yet not too heavy, so it’s perfect for this transitional weather. It’s still chilly out (that wind tho, BRR) but sunny and I’m very very grateful for sunshine! ☀️ This coat is also on sale right now for only $50 at Old Navy, so be sure to head over and check that out!

February spring vibes

Happy Sunday! Well here I am… hanging out in February! We’ve been blessed with some sunny days — today was sunny and in the high 40s! It’s been kind of nice; but I’m also hoping that March/April aren’t just a winter shitstorm, haha. Agh well, take the sunshine when you can get it in Michigan, I guess! But yeah, since the weather was so nice, I decided to bust out some more spring-y pieces! I just got this sweater from Zappos. I love the color blocking of pink + mustard! Plus, these sneaks from Madewell are my new faves. They are taking a second to break in, but otherwise they’re super comfy + easy to slip on with a pair of jeans!

Winter uniform

Hi there! Happy Monday. Did you guys have a good weekend? Mine was pretty good! Friday + Saturday, I just stayed home, lol. Super exciting stuff over here. But I was really productive! I listed a ton of stuff on Poshmark, so if you’re interested in shopping my closet, head over there! Things are going quickly. I played some Sims 4, caught up on some cleaning, and then Sunday was the best day ever! I met up with friends for brunch at 11am, that somehow turned into an all day Sunday Funday and we ended at 7:30pm at night. 😂 Such a good day though; I had a headache pretty much all day today, but it was worth it. Hahaha. I still managed to get to the gym tonight so woo!

Studio parking

Hi there! Me again! Back so soon. I’m trying to catch up on a few posts because I took these photos a couple of weeks ago now! I’ve been slacking! But yeah, this outfit is very much a “me on the weekend” outfit — ripped denim, my leather jacket, ankle boots, a wrap bodysuit and a beanie. Like all of my favorite things right now wrapped into one outfit. I wore this out downtown to grab dinner and see a movie at the new Studio Park downtown. I loveeee that movie theater, and it’s so close to my work. But yeah, saw Knives Out — which is SO good! I absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend if you haven’t seen it yet.

Talking about fitness

I haven’t chatted about fitness in a while on the blog… so I figured I’d do a little update on my eating/exercise routine, how I’ve maintained my weight loss, and to chat about some of my favorite workout gear! As many of you know I lost 35 pounds in my early twenties, and it was one of the most frequently asked questions on the blog for years! And I did end up gaining it back in my later twenties, only to lose it again in my early thirties. And now I’m super proactive to maintain my weight loss, to continue to be intentional with healthy eating and exercising, and honestly I’m in such a good routine right now that I can’t imagine ever getting to a place where I’d let it all go again. So that’s a great feeling! But let’s chat more…
