Coveting

It's been a while, so I thought I would show you a few of my current favorite things that I'm admiring from afar:

Jcrew Merkato Sandals:

Jcrew Lace Blouson Dress:

Victoria's Secret Smocked Strapless Dress:

This look, both from Victoria's Secret:

And, if you're an Adele fan, you have to check out this song (Set Fire to the Rain). Seriously - amazing.

Saturday Finds

I had to go to *the mall* to pick up my race packet today (always a dangerous endeavor), & I picked up a few things. I was in need of some belts, as I currently have zero that fit. My quest for belts quickly turned into this:

 

Much cuter in real life, I promise. This dress is very flattering on. I also got a great belt to go with it. The Jcrew pictures is not particularly clear, but the pattern on the dress is actually blue. Very well cut & I can imagine wearing it all throughout the summer. Assuming it ever warms up here!

 

I also got this sweater, in navy (Ann Taylor Loft). ATL is having 40% off their entire store, so there were many good deals to be found:

 

I also got this dress, in navy stripe:

So, so so flattering on & it looks great with my new belt & the sweater above.

 

And, Ann Taylor Loft didn't do this shirt any justice in the pictures, but it is extremely cute on. Very nicely cut & flattering:

I got it in black & navy.

 

And, I did actually get a few belts. . .

 

 

And, a few they didn't have online for me to grab pictures of. You'll be seeing these finds in my upcoming outfit posts, so I'll show you how I will mix them in with my current clothes!

Things I'm coveting

First up, a pair of Cole Haan shoes, designed by Maria Sharapova. Who knew that she was a shoe designer?

Gorgeous. I'm also a fan of this pair (same collaboration):

Now, on to running, or my lack of. Work has been crazy this week. I took off last Friday & I'm also out this Friday, so lunch time runs haven't been doable. And because I'm honest, I'm also going to throw out there that my motivation is a bit lacking, for yet to be determined reasons. I am going to get back on track, because my training plan calls for a run today. So, that leaves either after work or after I get the boys into bed. Neither of which are my favorite times, but I'll make do. I really, really need to start waking up early enough to run in the morning before work. *shiver*

Here's what I'm rocking today:

-World's dorkiest look - still there.
- XOXO, Gossip Girl headband - trying to keep my mangy mane out of my face. Jcrew Silver Rope headband.
-Silver & gray floral sweater - Jcrew outlet
-Gray tank top - Gap, many moons ago
-Seven Dojo jeans, dark wash
-Flats - Ann Taylor Loft

Question: how do you break through when you're not feeling motivated?
