Hey y'all! ;)

I thought I'd give a few life updates since it's been a while since I last posted:

- I was offered a promotion! I've really bounced around at work with my jobs in the year that I've been employed with the company. I still love the people and what I do, which I realize for a first job out of college is something I should not take for granted nor forget!

-Speaking of my work and college, it's been one year since I graduated from MSU. Unreal. And I'm approaching my one year anniversary at my current place of employment. Even more unreal.

-My Europe trip is 3 weeks away! I already started planning my outfits ;) I probably should practice packing...

-After way too long of a break, I've begun running again! And holy guacamole, I am out of shape! I'm literally beginning from square one with my running base, which hasn't happened since I had mono 5 years ago! My poor calves did not know what hit them when I ran a hilly 4 mile route Sunday.

-I've been reading a lot lately. My new favorite book: The Sea of Tranquility: A Novel by Katja Millay. Add this to your summer must-read list if it is not on there already! As soon as I finished it, I started re-reading it; I loved it that much.

-My department at work is going for drinks/dinner at a whiskey bar and restaurant tomorrow...think this outfit would work? ;)

Casual Sunday

Trench Coat - Banana Republic // Vest- J.Crew // Turtleneck - J.Crew // Jeans - BKE Denim // Shoes - BCBGeneration // Purse - Dooney & Bourke // Bracelet - Target // Necklace - Thrifted

The weather this weekend was beyond amazing...for March in Michigan that is :). I was able to comfortably wear my trench coat and at points no coat at all! The cold February sure is tough to get through, but it truly does make you appreciate the rising temperature!

This past week has been really great having my sisters in town and my cousin over the weekend. We ate a lot of delicious food, had some good talks over drinks and coffee (and more food), and acted like our crazy selves like we always do when we are together. 

I'm sad to see them go, but I won't lie that I'm happy to get back to my normal eating routine. Don't get me wrong, I love eating out, but after so many days of it I just felt sluggish and bloated blah.

 Luckily the weather was so nice today and I could enjoy a nice walk with my mom, followed by an entertaining run through town with my friend. It feels so good to start the week with some exercise! Hopefully this will help motivate me to keep up with the routine :)

Happy Spring Forward! :)

Which "Starbucks Size Budget" are you?

Vest - LOST Wallace, $44.99 // Jeans - Boohoo, $40 // Heels: Dorothy Perkins, $39 // Bag - Dorothy Perkins, $49

 Vest - Abercrombie & Fitch, $70 // Jeans - 7 for All Mankind, $189 // Heels - Nine West, $99 // Bag - Topshop, $150

Ever since I saw this picture of the lovely Cara Delevingne strutting her stuff, I've been wanting to "recreate" Roberto Cavalli's runway look. Once again, I am in love with the wedding of feminine and masculine details that is currently trending. I'm planning on rocking a similar ensemble come springtime and throughout the summer!

As a newly recent working girl, I don't exactly have the money reserves to go buy this exact outfit sadly. Because of this, I came up with three different outfits inspired by the look for people with different budgets. And since my blog's name is coffee-inspired, it was only fitting to label the budgets after different coffee sizes. :)
