San Diego

San Diego is beautiful, period.  And I would move to Coronado Island in a heartbeat 1) if we had 3 million dollars to buy one of the super cute charming houses the island is filled with and 2)  My family and friends would move there too.

We flew out to San Diego on Thursday and came home Sunday and our trip was filled with great food, shopping, being tourists, relaxing, laying out, running and just having a great time!  

 I won't go into a play by play of everything we did but here are some highlights!  

 Seaport Village being tourists!


 The view from the condo we stayed in.  This was in Pacific beach and right on the bay.  There was an awesome boardwalk all around it.  It was perfect!


Pretty view from Scenic Drive 

We took a  boat road over to Coronado one day then took Segway tour of the island.  I have been there before but it was neat taking these instead of walking.  We literally pretty much went around half of the island  and got to see all the cute houses, get right under the bridge, lots of history, the famous Hotel Del Coronado, parks and beautiful trees and landscape.  


Helmets were not optional.  We all had bad hair the rest of the day!  The segway's were really fun.  I always looked at people weird who were on them, but we enjoyed them.  Great way to see lots of things without walking 15 miles and much quicker.  Fun to drive also, haha


Group photo before our Italian carb loading dinner the night before the race.  
Right to left, it's My sister Randi, me, sister Kate and my momma.  Aren't my sisters and my momma beautiful?  
 After our Italian dinner we went to a frozen yogurt place called Yogurt on the rocks and it was delicious!  We actually went back again before left.  The first time I had cupcake yogurt with a ton of toppings then the next time I tried cookies and cream they both were delicious.  I think my town needs one of these!

Our last day before we left did some driving up the coast a little and saw a few more beaches then went back to Pacific Beach and rented some bikes.  Yes I wore my purse around my neck I didn't have anywhere else to put it and my sisters loves crazy pictures me not so much I always just smile.  

Our last night and once again got treated to a wonderful dinner.  

Now that I've gained about 5 pounds from this trip,  I have some work to do.  Vacation always makes me go crazy with food and snacking, self control level was about a 1 the whole time!  
We had a great time, good weather, and lots of memories.  
I'm thinking we should make this girls trip a yearly tradition!

Have you ever been to San Diego?  If so, what was your favorite part?

Dreaming of Spring

Our whole winter was mild, hardly any snow or ice.  Groundhog day came and went and I thought we were getting warmer temps here in Illinois.  Instead it's been snowing every other day it seems.  I've got a bad case  of the winter blues and am beyond ready for some spring trends and colors!

Since right now I can only think about what to wear when the weather gets warm I thought I would share some of my must have's for Spring and some super cute Pinterest outfits I want to put together!

 First off, Mint Skinnies!  Every look I see with them, I absolutely adore so this is one of my top items I must  would really to get.  I also would like to add some coral skinnies too.  I have some winter colors but love, love all the bright colors for spring/summer.
Another cute look with mint.  Love the casual feel of this one, and the scarf.  I have a huge collection of scarfs, love them, buy way too many of them and hardly wear them because I my hair is always short and they seem to look funny on me or drive me crazy being right where my hair sits. #shorthairproblem 


Next these are all like double wants! 
Maxi skirt and chevron, how could you go wrong?


 Love the chambray with the maxi as well!  
 Another obsession I don't have but want some, Ombre!
I'm not so much on the ombre hair but love it everywhere else, tops, dresses, skirts, nails, home decor!  Love, love, love!  

Every where you look you see maxi dresses, we saw them a ton last year and I never felt like they looked cute on my.  I'm determined to find one I love this year or maybe 2 or 3.  
Also I may/ may not have purchased this dress already as a pre-order.  (Hoping I like the fit, this girl has some trips planned and needs some cute travel clothes!)  



Going to need some shoes to go with all these looks, 
Love the sandals and flats with all the gold additions!  
Tori Burch Lookalikes

And you can't go wrong with cute flats either, Lace and bows.  


So I realized something in doing this, I have a few too many things on my wish list this season.  

What are some of your favorite Spring Trends and what won't you be starting this Spring without?
