Summer 2012 Trend Alert: Boho Tops

I am absolutley in love with this trend. Light, flowy tops are so comfortable and basically flattering on any shape. They come in so many styles, patterns, and with a variety of fabric choices. Below are just some of the ways I like to wear/use these Boho Tops!


They are great for travel, they typically don't wrinkle. Perfect as a beach cover up. Looks killer with skinny jeans and a pair of heels to dress it up. Or one of my favorite ways to wear tops like these, with shorts and a pair of sandals or wedges!
 
My favorite place to find these tops is at Marshall's, Ross, Target and Goodwill! All of these places are relatively inexpensive and carry very cute items!

February 2012

Ahh, another month has already gone by. I will most likely say this every time, but it has gone by so quickly! A lot has changed in my life in the past month and I could have never seen many of these things happening. First I will share with you how I am doing with my New Years Resolutions.


1. Get straight A's - on track as of right now. The only class I am a wee bit concerned about is Managerial Accounting. Its a challenging class for me.


2. Save mulaaa - check yes! I am so proud of how well I am doing on this one. Matt and I have sacrificed eating out and other entertainment things in order to save money. && It hasn't been horrible. We watch a lot of movies at home, make dinner for each other and sit around doing homework. We really are exciting individuals. 


4. Take a road trip - Ahhh, I haven't even set up plans for this one. Still planning on doing it sometime this year though!


5. Attend more live performance - I haven't been to any concerts or shows yet but I have planned a couple to attend later in the year! I am also excited about Playlist Live coming up in March!


6. Blog & film on a regular basis - fail. Once again. Right now I think I will just have to commit to my monthly updates. This is something I can handle. School & work take up most of my time and attention.


7. No Chick-fil-A Waffle fries for ones year! - So am so incredibly proud to say that I still haven't eaten any type of fry this whole year! Two months down, ten to go!


8. Drink five glasses of water everyday - checkmate! I have been drinking anywhere from 8-10 glasses a day! go me!


9. Run/work-out at least three times a week - I am so happy that I joined a gym and I owe a lot to Matt. He motivates me to go and always is so encouraging. I have been working out at least four times a week, sometimes more. I do cardio almost every time I'm in the gym and mix in legs, arms, abs, and back through out the week. Feeling good!


10. Get healthy! - I have been doing so well. I also decided for the month of February I wouldn't drink any sweet tea & guess what, I haven't! Sweet Tea is one of my weaknesses, being from the south, so it is quite the accomplishment. I am planning on holding on to this goal throughout the year. I honestly don't even want it right now, unsweet tea or green tea with splenda or truvia is just as satisfying. The true test will be when I go to the beach over the summer. There is nothing better than laying on the sand with sweet tea in your hand. :)


11. Find a church Matt & I both love - Yah! This month Matt and I have found a church that we are both really liking. I will keep you updated on that!


12. Move out (again) - hopefully during the summer or near the end of the summer.


13. Figure out what I want to do once I graduate - As of right now I really feel like my heart is with Chick-fil-A. This is my 5th year working for the company so it is a part of me and I would really love to advance and do bigger and greater things with the company. 


14. Pick up more skills in the kitchen - work in progress! But good news, Matt cooked me dinner the other night and it was so yummy. I am glad to have a good cook as a boyfriend. :)


15. Read at least 5 non-school-related books - I was reading the help and I just couldn't get into it. Not sure why. I recently started reading the Hunger Games and it is so good. Loving it so far!


16. Get hitched - tie the knot - I wish this on was in my hands but unfortunately its not.


So now that I have addressed my goals on to other things that have changed this past month. 


Well, my work environment has changed drastically since last month. People have moved onto other things and though it is difficult to see people you love move on, sometimes you just have to come to the realization that it may be the best thing for them and for the situation. I have taken on in the past month more management responsibilities and have taken on the role of Marketing Director and Manager. I am enjoying the change & really like that I can still do marketing. I am learning so many new things and at times it is really challenging and makes me super nervous. But at the end of the day I have such a great group of fellow managers and an operator that are there to help me. So appreciative.


As I mentioned before I joined a gym at the end of January and I am so happy with the results I am seeing. I know its a slow process and the more persistent I am the more results I will see. I have changed the way I eat, what I eat, when I eat, where I eat... Basically, i just feel healthier, and that feels so awesome. I had a goal to just be able to run a mile without passing out and the other day I ran two and kept going. It feels awesome!


As many of you know that NBA All Star Game and events were in Orlando this year, yah us! It brought hundreds of thousands of people to Orlando and all businesses experienced increased sales. The Mall at Millenia seemed to be the hub for all celebrities to hang out and to let their fans know through Twitter that they were there. Which resulted in many people celebrity stalking. In the mall during the weekend was: Beyonce, Jay Z, Rianna, Chris Brown, LL Cool J, Lebron James, Lil Wayne, Lil Kim, Lil Jon, and so many other rappers, football players, etc...It was a crazy weekend at the mall but kinda exciting being so close to so many famous people!
