It’s time for another This & That Post…Everything I’m loving right now!

Happy Sunday! I haven’t written a This & That post in a long time and I’m excited to bring you this one!

We have had the most beautiful weather over the past two days and all I’ve wanted to do was be outside enjoying it! Amos and I have taken long walks and yesterday, I took my journal outside and sat in the sunshine to write! It was so nice after the cold temperatures we’ve been having. However, Baldy and I are leaving for Naples, Florida on Tuesday and I’ll have a chance to soak in even more sunshine and relax for a few days! It’s a much needed getaway!

Speaking of…I’m very ready to do a little shopping for spring (and my trip), so I’ve been on every website possible searching for all the best pieces that are not only gorgeous, but also versatile. Keep scrolling for a little warm weather outfit inspo!

And…as everyone knows, the Super Bowl is tonight and I’m completely unprepared so I’m sharing an easy recipe that you can throw together in minutes. I don’t know about you, but I really don’t want to eat a huge plate of dips and wings so I’m so happy to have found this healthy alternative. If you have just a bit more time, you could also make my recipe for Hearty Beef & Bean Chili…it’s easy to put together and the leftovers are very delicious!

There is also no way I could forget to mention Valentine’s Day! Baldy and I will celebrate with a fabulous dinner while we’re in Florida, but tomorrow night, we’ll have Chinese takeout outside by a roaring fire! I don’t love the crowds and prefix menus that most restaurants have on Valentine’s Day, so this plan is perfectly fine with me! I did receive some gorgeous flowers from Baldy on Monday that I’ve been enjoying all week long!

The beautiful little cake above was made by a local baker, Blondie Bakes, and I spruced it up with beautiful macaroons and rose petals. It’s an easy way to have a pretty dessert without making it yourself!

Keep reading…I’m starting with spring shopping and fashion finds!

I’ve been wearing this great peasant blouse from Anthropologie more often than I should admit! I just love the colors and it’s a great transitional piece as well as a great layering piece…see how I styled it with a leopard coat below!!

Johnny Was is one of my favorite brands…it’s boho chic at it’s best! They recently sent me a few pieces and I couldn’t be happier about it! The cardigan above is a wear everywhere piece that will turn heads because it’s so interesting! I paired it with faux leather pants, a black tank and scrunch boots from Schutz! I also have these boots in black…they’re comfortable and affordable!

The detail on the blouse above (also from Johnny was) is exquisite! I’ve paired it with the same black pants and over-the-knee boots from Stuart Weitzman. Going into spring, I’ll change out the boots for sandals and wear this blouse with jeans! I tucked in only half of the blouse in the front for a more fashion forward look…

My Spring Wish List

This look is for all the Yellowstone fans out there! I have the unpopular opinion that I don’t love this show! It’s so shocking and I prefer to watch something more uplifting!

This & That

The Women is one of my favorite movies and got me through some tough times! I recently rewatched it and love it just as much!

I have recently become interested in learning about Human Design! Human Design offers a map, or a manual, that indicates how you are unique as a person, and guides you in living in a manner that is in sync with who you are. If you’re interested, this is a great podcast from Jenna Zoe, or you can read this article from Goop.

I recently bought a new toy and I’m having such a great time with it! It’s call the FeetUp Headstand Bench Yoga Chair and it’s for inversions and relaxation. I did an Instagram post yesterday explaining why inversions are so good for you! You can check it out here!

Speaking of perspective…my program Journey of Becoming was a huge success! The ladies in the group loved it and learned so much (probably not quite as much as I did). The program is for anyone who wants to start the journey of living the life they were meant to live. Journey of Becoming relaunches as a 30 day program on March 15. Look for a blog post with more of the details coming soon! If you’re interested in signing up now, click the link above…you’ll immediately be invited into the Facebook group and can interact with the women who joined in January! It’ll be a great opportunity to connect and learn more about what they learned during their 21 days!
