I’m just gonna come right out, and say it…

Life. Is. Good.

I just got back from the most wonderful vacation in Hawaii, and not even the jetlag nor 18-hour plane delay followed by a complete flight cancellation (United SUCKS, by the way) can put a damper on my spirits! The weather has finally warmed up, I signed up a new client at my day job that’s going to be TONS of fun to work with, aaaannnnd…

I’m wearing head-to-toe blush pink in today’s outfit!

Any day I can wear all pink is a good day in my book, and the rest is just icing on the cake!

What puts you in a good mood lately?

Things have been quiet on the blog lately as I’ve been off gallivanting in Hawaii for the past week or so. I know, I know… my life is so hard! But seriously, it’s been awesome to get away for some rest, relaxation, and much needed sunshine. My husband and I are also celebrating our 10-year anniversary (I CANNOT believe it’s been that long!). Stay tuned for more pics from my trip and a full vacation recap coming your way soon.

In the mean time, can we talk about my new bathing suit and how it makes me look like I actually have a waistline?! Trust me, I don’t… especially after a long hard winter full of lots of hot chocolate and macaroni and cheese. Optical illusions aside, I’m completely in love with it. It’s been years since I’ve worn a one-piece, and now I might be a convert. I also picked up a couple of these cute little kimonos from Forever 21 to wear as coverups, and I can’t wait to pick out a few more for summer.

March Onward {Wolford Tights Review}

Spring has sprung, and while I’d love to be prancing around in flowy dresses and bare legs, the truth of the matter is that it’s downright COLD in my neck of the woods. In fact, we’ve had snow flurries every morning for the past few days! I’ve learned my lesson over the years with packing away my winter clothes too early, and it looks like I’ll still be holding on to my jackets, scarves and tights for a little while longer.

Speaking of tights…

This pair from Wolford has lasted me the entire winter season (they made their first debut in this post back in November) and are still going strong after bi-weekly wearings. I’ve worn Wolford tights for years, and they remain hands down my favorite brand. I admit to having a bit of sticker shock when I bought my first pair on a friend’s recommendation. But my concerns were promptly put to rest as soon as I slid them on. The material is so luxe, and trust me when I say that these tights DO. NOT. RUN. I’m not even kidding. I snagged a pair on chair once and got a small hole. But since it was on the upper thigh area where no one would see, I just sewed it up, and they were as good as new. I’ve never been able to do that with my other tights. When I think about how much money I’ve spent on  other brands that only last through one or two wearings (and maybe three, if I’m lucky), the splurge on Wolford tights actually seems like a pretty sound investment since they typically last for a year or more. And I did I mention that they make you feel sexy?

If you’ve never ventured into Wolford territory, I recommend starting out with a Mat 80 or Velvet de Luxe in classic black for the perfect black tight.
