Happiness Lately & Stylish Tuesday

Happy Tuesday Loves!

So much exciting stuff has happened over the past couple of days that I can't contain my happiness! 

First and foremost Dr. D and I booked a trip to CABO SAN LUCAS! Woo freaking Hoo! I am so pumped for a week without my phone, laying out and getting my drink on! Oh and staring at this every single day! You bet your Prada I'll be living it up at the swim up pool bar!

Next I FINALLY took advantage of the super nice weather we've been having and spent an afternoon bronzing away in Santa Monica. This El Nino effect has brought nasty weather nationwide (as we all know) but someone has to take advantage of 80 degree days in January!

Lastly I'm working on a big surprise as my first ever giveaway! The post will be up on Friday and I can't wait to share it with you ladies! 

- now to the fashion -

My weekend was pretty relaxing; therefore, I didn't take any pictures for this week's posts. This was actually my Christmas Day outfit and I'm just now getting around to posting it .... tsk tsk.

Top & Belt: Target // Tank: Ann Taylor LOFT // Pants: Old Navy // Necklace: Cornucopia // Boots: Steve Madden

Has anything super exciting happened to you lately?

This week's featured look comes from Elizabeth at Elizabeth Nygard! 

I truly love Elizabeth's blog and look forward to reading it daily. She's a blogger of all trades giving advice and tips on not only fashion but also make up, fitness and mouth watering recipes. We both started a link up around the same time too so make sure to check out her Love Your Look segment every Tuesday!

Her plaid and poncho combo is nothing short of pure genius and those booties are amazing!

New Year & A New Me

Here's to 2014! New year and a New Me! 

My vacation is officially over; therefore, my blog vacation is over as well. Over the Christmas holiday I decided I wanted to focus more on my blog than I have in the past and truly give it my all. So here's to a year of great blog posts, opportunities and hopefully new blog friends!

T Shirt  & Tank: Ann Taylor LOFT // Cardigan: Francesca's // Jeans: American Eagle // Flats: Nordstrom Rack // Necklace: J. Crew // Watch: Juicy Couture // Bracelet: Sage K and Co

I spent the majority of my holiday back East with my family which is where these photos were taken. Not only is Charleston a wonderful, historic town, but it's also full of FANTASTIC areas to take photographs.

Do you have any big goals or resolutions in 2014?

Month in Instagram: July

July was a great month in my 2013 year. I flew back home to Charleston to see my family over the holiday weekend, spent quality time with my sister after her intense surgery, caught up with some dear friends and started to blog religiously again. Check out some shots via Instagram.

1. The rooms and I headed downtown LA to watch Queen Bey in all her glory on her Mrs. Carter tour
2. Caught up with a Charleston bestie, Josh over a beer. We hadn't seen each other for over a year!
3. I flew back to Charleston for the 4th of July weekend. It was so good to see my family, but also to be with my sister since she had double jaw surgery 2 weeks prior.
4. The familia out on the boat! The rest of the crew met up with us on the jet ski's :)
5. My little ZTA sister flew out to LA for a wedding so we got to catch up one weekend
6. Morgs and I are OBSESSED with Christmas, so naturally a Christmas in July party had to be thrown
7. One of my last "fat" meals. No more frozen packaged meals, pop or candy until September!
8. I saw a SC license plate on my way home from work, top it off with a Charleston Holy City brewing sticker and I was happier than a clam. Love seeing fellow southerner's out in LA

Pop of Color

I woke up this morning and did my typical routine: Hit snooze 2 times, checked the weather on my phone and started to plan my attire for the day in my head. I went to my pants drawer and forgotten all about this hidden yellow gems I scored during the post-Christmas sales! I've yet to wear them and figured today was the PERFECT day to bust them out.
