Sunshine. It makes me sooo incredibly happy. Last Tuesday was the first (and only) amazing day we have had yet this spring, and I spent literally every second I could outside. There's something about the sun that just warms me from the inside out and makes me feel so content. It's about time my sunglasses got some use. I feel like they've been in storage for the past 6 months.

 Let's talk clothes. I have officially jumped on the boyfriend jean bandwagon and am so excited to start wearing these babies everywhere. Gap's spring pieces are stop on, at least I think so since I'm wearing it head to toe here. Sometimes I think Gap gets a bad rap, but they have never ever let me down. I like to call Gap my staple store as I always seem to get my best, simple, most worn pieces there. Unfortunately, their boyfriend jeans are currently sold out, but I've selected some of my other favorites below.

"Learn from yesterday, live for today"... Couldn't be more of a true statement. I bought this cuff from the local Rowe Boutique a couple months ago, and I wear it to remind myself this on a daily basis. The past is the past - never over analyze, over-think, or worry too much about it, because if you do, your life will pass right before your eyes. Learn from it and move on. Use it to create and build your future. That's what were all so focused on anyways, isn't it? We are all in a constant state of trying to better ourselves, our lives, over-achieving, and thinking of what our five year and ten year plans are, where we want to live next, what our next job will be, and the list goes on and on. Sometimes, we're so busy we forget to sit still and enjoy the present. That's my goal for this weekend. I'm going to stop worrying about what happened yesterday, what tomorrow will bring, and just be present and enjoy it.

I don't dress up for work, so me wearing dress pants or any type of menswear really is few and far between. Working in advertising is a jeans type of environment (which I am absolutely not complaining about), so I'm constantly in casual mode. I tried on these trousers when testing out the Stylinity app at The Limited, and had to have them. I can't even seem to walk into a store and leave empty handed... it's somewhat of an issue.

Kris, of Bella Beads Studio and I are hosting one more giveaway this week. It is for this gorgeous gold locket pendant I am wearing. Yes, it does open, so you can put whatever you would like inside whether it is a photo or a note of some kind. Just another amazing piece from the Bella Beads collection - I could own one of everything. Follow the directions below to enter the giveaway, and the winner will be chosen on Sunday. Good luck!
