VB: One of my favorite moms

Victoria Beckham catches a lot of slack for her waif, nearly-anorexic frame, but I absolutely adore her.  I find her steely exterior quite endearing, not to mention her newest and best accessory, Harper.

Busy mother: Victoria had been seen spending time with Harper earlier in the day as they visited the Apple store

It's almost as big as you! Victoria Beckham appeared to be struggling somewhat with her giant bag as she headed out in London on Monday morning

Fashionista: But Victoria still looked as chic as ever in her outfit, which consisted of a blue chunky jumper, jeans and black knee-high boots

I love her caramel-colored locks as well!

Love me some sneakas

I covet this hard.

I bought two pairs of the Nike Sky High Wedge Dunks shamelessly.  I wanted to secure a couple of pairs before they were completely sold out.  My fiance, mom, and sister begged me to return them (bigger priorities: saving up for grown people shit schtuff), so after much debate and discussion, they dragged me back to Nordstrom's kicking and screaming to return those bad boys.

Luckily, I still have my knock-off black pair of Isabel Marant's.  Phew.  Close call.

P.S.  My favorite pair below is J.Biel's bright yellow ones.  Of course I love gray and this punch of vibrant yellow really gives the laid-black hues a pop of pizazz.

The Sneaker Goes High Fashion In Punchy Prints And Colors

Monday, March, 11, 2013
When it comes to truly stylish, comfortable footwear, sneakers are the new ballet flats. Isabel Marant first introduced her now-ubiquitous sneaker wedges in 2010, which quickly became the go-to shoe for fashion’s elite, including top editors, models, and celebrities like Beyonce, who rocked a pair in her “Love On Top” music video. Since then, the humble sneaker’s been reinvented in lively colors and punchy prints, elevating them to must-have status for any cool girl. In fact, a number of trendsetters—Rihanna, Jessica Alba, and Chloe Moretz, to name a few—are wearing sneakers to add a fresh, contemporary flair to their looks. Read today’s Accessory Report for outfit details and shop our picks below.

For sneakers with a little flirtatious appeal, try Marc by Marc Jacobs’ Cutout Sneaker Wedges ($328) in Green, which show off just a hint of skin.

All black w/ a bold lip

I adore Miranda Kerr and love all black with a bold lip.  It's a lot of fun to punch up an outfit with a bright lipcolor statement.  I have come to realize that as we get older, in the world of fashion, less is more.

NYC Marathon 2013

Beyond STOKED to receive an email in my inbox yesterday regarding the forthcoming NYC Marathon this year!


2013 Marathon Registration

This year, NYRR is committed to returning the ING New York City Marathon to its familiar place as an uplifting celebration of our great city. Our priorities in determining the 2013 registration process include maintaining the important diversity of our entry categories: NYRR members and local runners; participants from around the nation and the world, reflecting the diversity and global nature of NYC; and people running for charity (with an emphasis on NYC-based charities).
Based on the 2012 Resolution results, we are pleased to announce that in 2013, NYRR will be able to accommodate the following categories:
•NYRR-member 9+1 qualifiers
•Time qualifiers who achieved the standard in NYRR qualifying events
•Those who have run 15 or more New York City marathons
•Those who have earned guaranteed entry after being denied three times previously 
•Charity Partner Program participants
•Those who entered through an International Travel Partner

The bolded magenta above is MY CATEGORY :))!

The event will be held in early November, which means I have roughly 6 months to train.  I've waited patiently was rejected for three years  to run this race and cannot wait to start training.  It will definitely be challenging to train concurrently while playing soccer on two teams, but the speed work I do during a game will help out my time tremendously.  I just have to get my butt out there on the weekends for the compulsory weekly long run. : /

I emailed Lats to let him know that we need to start booking airfare and travel STAT and that he better not book some ridiculous red-eye flight to touch down in La Guardia the morning of the race (if you know Lats, you know he WOULD so do this lol).

This is what I'm looking forward to:









Stay tuned for more updates when I register officially for the race on April 24th!

.love&light.
