Getting Out of that Winter Slump





The winter is always a tough time for me. I have plenty of down time that I should use to get all those things done that I had been putting off during my busy season and there is my never ending list of blog work to finish. I just am always able to find excuses not to do something or have no energy or drive to be productive. So by the end of winter and right before my busy season starts I am scrambling to get things done that I had been putting off for weeks! 

This winter I have definitely gone through this stage, but thankfully I am aware of my problem and have found ways to shake this funk before the end of my slow time! Here are some steps that I have created to pull me out of the winter abyss:

Step 1: Get out of bed!
Step 2: Workout
Step 3: Put a mask on and relax a little bit and think about what I want to tackle first
Step 4: Paint my nails while mask is working its magic
Step 5: Shower at some point
Step 6: Put a little bit of makeup on 
Step 7: Get dressed in a cute outfit
Step 8: Start with one task on my to-do list
Step 9: Make lunch, coffee or dinner plans to get out of the house
Step 10: Repeat until I feel fresh and back to my old self (or a new and improved self)

Now all of these steps may not and most likely will not take place in one day. If it does on your first attempt, way to go!! Otherwise, just take it day by day and slowly ease out of that winter funk. After all we wouldn't want beautiful Spring to see us in such a slump?!

While I was in New York for Fashion week back in February, my sister decided to take a day trip from Philly to come visit! So since I had not had a chance to visit my cousin and his lovely wife, Gian Carlo and Sarah, we decided to make it over to Brooklyn for brunch. Of course we had to take some photos for the blog!

They recently published their book Beer Lover's New York, which I had to purchase and I got them to sign it! I am now hoping that after I read it I will become a bit more knowledgeable about beer! Check out their site: BeerUnion and then go get that book!!  

A little note on my outfit...I found this awesome top while looking through the clearance section at Target. It was the only one there and it fit; definitely a meant to be purchase! For this outfit I paired it with the flirty a-line skirt to add some femininity to the look. I can't wait to pair this top with a few other outfits so you can see its versatility.

The weekend before last Jon and I went on a mini-vacay to the Hillbrook Inn & Spa in Charles Town, WV. These were taken our first morning there, before we headed over to the main building for breakfast. The morning light was so pretty to take some quick photos in this comfy outfit. After breakfast I had an amazing massage. I will share more details about our stay and how wonderful a place Hillbrook is!

Repeat Offender



I know some of you are thinking, haven't I seen this top before on this blog? Yes, I admit you have, twice before, but hey who is counting. I love this top and it is perfect with so many outfits! 

Here I had fun pairing the orange suede shoes with the outfit by taking inspiration from orange jumpsuits that inmates wear to add some color to this 'Repeat Offender' outfit. 

I am guilty of wearing this top more than once on this blog, but hey can you blame me?
