Pep In My Step

It hit 80 degrees today so like anyone else I lost my damn mind. I am in LOVE with the fit of this dress and now I feel like I need one in ever color and print. Only reason why I wore the blazer was because I was in the office today and I don't like visible bra straps. Y'all don't know, I'm about to LIVE in dresses all summer to make up for that little stunt I pulled last year (jeans and 90 degree weather don't mix. Tell ya mom I said so.) And with that, it is officially summer dress season!

Hey Girl Heeey

I was recently informed that I was losing my body inside my clothes and after taking a long look at my blog and my favorite pieces residing in my closet I realized they were right. I felt like I had to hide all the weight I had gained over the past couple of years behind flowy tops, sweaters and jackets in hot weather, and long skirts. I've been passing up awesome pieces I felt like I couldn't wear because my arms, legs, or stomach would show.
WELL NO MORE!
After my recent trip to Vegas (which was so desperately needed!) I realized that I'm still hot stuff and I need to show it! I went shopping this past weekend and bought everything I liked and I tossed out the whole "too fat to wear" mentality.

Introducing my spring/summer wardrobe in the making:

Oh Baby!

My sister and I attended a good friend's baby shower yesterday. Yes, the prego bug is at it again.

Something I thought was a really cute idea: All the guests write down advice for Suzi once her baby girl gets here.

Viva Las Vegas! (Part 3)

The last days of our trip were spent at a pool party at Tao Beach Lounge in The Venetian, shopping at Fashion Show Mall, and clubbing at Marquee Nightclub. This is the ceiling at The Venetian. How amazing is that?!
