{Life} Two weeks.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it doesn't seem real that the two weeks of carb exile are over.  They flew by.  And the best part?  I lost ten pounds!!

I'm on cloud nine.  As I go into Phase 2, I'm supposed to reintroduce (healthy) carbs and fruit.  I don't really want to, though.  I want to keep this momentum.  Unfortunately, I don't think it works that way.

I've only slipped up a little.  I'll admit it, I did have a few drinks.  Not many, though.  A watermelon mojito, some sake with a sushi dinner, and a glass of wine.  Not too bad over two weeks.  (I'm justifying, I know.)

On Sunday, I went shopping to celebrate, purchasing a gold metallic skirt and sequin shorts.  I loved them and bought them right up without really thinking how I would incorporate these things into my wardrobe.

 I've already warn the sequin shorts.  They make an average day feel sort of fancy.

Happy Thursday, lovers!

{Shop} Milk & Honey

A week ago, on an insanely hot Sunday morning, I took some photos of a friend of mine.  496 photos! Yowza.

We decided to meet up this Sunday to exchange the photos and have some coffee at my favorite little coffee shop, The Pearl Cup.

Afterwards, we walked down the street to a boutique that I've been dying to check out.

Y'all.  I die.

It was so cute.  So affordable ($40 for a dress!!!!).  And the staff?  Helpful and friendly.

I'll be shopping there more often.

Please forgive the crap iPhone shots, but you get the idea.  Anthropologie's affordable cousin.
