happy monday y'all!

what can i say about this look, but love! the ease of the graphic tee pulled together with the great mix of the leopard cardi and the classic skinny jean that goes with everything. i even like her messy hair, hey why not, some days you just don't care. this would be me today. it is MLK day so that equals holiday off from work (always welcomed in my book). after a great weekend in Fayetteville spending time with my fam, aka--hitting up sonic happy hour and getting mani/pedi with my little sis, its nice to come home and have an extra day to just relax and enjoy this gorg weather we have been having here lately. i would never turn away a 60 degree day anytime!

if y'all are as lucky as me today, go and enjoy your extra day off! make it a good one y'all.

 thanks for reading!

Current Lusts: Keep Cup | Essie Cuticle Oil

Recent Scores: Spiked Flats | Glitter Booties

So I thought I would share with y'all some of my recent scores! Today they just
 happen to be 2 AMAZEballs pairs of shoes.

 

I actually got these Aldo studded flats for Christmas from my sister, but there was a sizing mistake (the box said my size but the shoes inside were an 8, WAY too small for my huge foot!), so I just got the new ones in the mail this past week. They are sooo cute! I love the nude color, which allows them to go with everything and anything in my closet, and the spikes add just enough edge and texture to make any outfit interesting!

and you've already seen these Wanted glitter booties from yesterdays post. I have had my eye on these beauties for quite some time now. I just happened to get online on day and they were marked down to $45, plus I had a gift card so I got these for only $25! Such a deal from the regular price of $90! Booties have been everywhere this season, and you can't beat a glitter bootie, so I can't wait to start planning more cute ways to wear these! I'm thinking anything with skinny jeans!

thanks for reading y'all! Enjoy your weekend!

Spring in my Step...

 deets: | shirt: ae | skirt: jcpenny | vest: F21 | booties: bc footwear |

Well today is my first ever  outfit post on my new blog! i remember the first time i even started follow others blogs was because of the adorbs outfits i always saw those cute girls wearing.  they inspired me to start mixing things up that i never would have thought of before and of course made me want to start a blog of my own! so here goes nothing...

Ever since I got these glitter booties in the mail last week, i couldn't wait to start wearing them with everything i own. (although i laugh to see them up close against my skin tone during these pale winter months)  i see them a lot in my future with some skinny jeans. as for the rest of the outfit, sometimes you have to see yourself in pictures to really know what you look like, and to be honest i'm not sure i'm loving this particular stripe shirt with the skirt. the first time i wore this skirt it was with just a solid pink and white striped shirt and i believe i like it much better. ohh well...that is what experimenting is for right? ha. at least i still like my booties! make it a good one y'all!

Get in my Belly: Skinny Funfetti Cupcakes

Alright, so today I am bringing you my very first 'get in my belly' post. I am hoping  to feature a food post every wednesday on my blog. 

whats up first you ask....well that would be skinny funfetti cupcakes. I first came by the recipe for these amazeballs cupcakes on pinterest here. they are beyond super easy to make and only require 2 (thats right!) ingredients!

Step 1: preheat the oven to 350 degrees. while this is going on, add the funfetti mix along with 12 ounces of sprite zero into a mixing bowl.

step 2: now time for mixing! i like to first slowly (the sprite makes the batter kinda fizzy) start mixing the batter with just a spatula to get the two combined. then i switch over to a hand mixer to make sure to get all the lumps out of the batter.

step 3: the original receipe says that you can get 24 cupcakes out of the mix, however i never get that many. i usually end up with about 16 or so. i am also not a fan of the cupcake liners for these paticaluar cupcakes. i just spray my cupcake tin with non-stick spray instead.

step 4: allow the cupcakes to bake for about 18 minutes or so. then remove them from the oven and try  (this part is almost impossible for me) to let them cool for at least 20 minutes or so.

now its time to eat! to be honest i had one as soon as i took them out of the oven (told you it was almost impossible for me) and i might have also had 2 others after i let them cool....and may be eating another as i write this post--hey thats what skinny cupcakes where made for right?!

ohh...the original reciepe says that these delicious little guys are just a tiny  110 calories per cupcake, but that includes the frosting that you make to go along with it. i made the frosting the very first time i made these and i wasn't a fan, so i have left it off every other time since and dont feel like i'm missing out on anything. they are great just by themselves!

i hope y'all enjoy them as much i do! Thanks for reading today!

Meet Miss Blu

 

| Blu doing her best rabbit pose |

Well even though I wanted today to be my very first outfit post, I just might have something a little  better for you. This is my cat Blu. (technically she is the BFs cat since he had her before I moved in, but I'm going to claim partial ownership, ha)

she is so full of energy and tons, tons of love. she could cuddle every minute of everyday if you let her. she is super friendly and loves when we have people over. Even though sometimes she can be a little terror (feels the need to claw and bite everyone of my clothes in the closet) i don't know what i would do without this little furball.

Hopefully i will have an outfit post to share with yall soon! Thanks for reading!
