Disney Re-Cap!

Happy Monday everyone! The Mondays coming back from a trip are always the worst! Even though I only took one day off of work - by the looks of my project line-up and e-mail inbox - you would think I had been gone a week! BUSY BUSY BUSY at work but that is always good news. My sister Natalie has officially moved to Charlotte with me and starts working at our company this Wednesday - I am beyond thrilled about this! We were the best roommates last year in California and I have missed her so much. 

As most of you know - aka if you follow me on instagram (pamelaisanchez) OR you follow me on twitter (@yesitis_kevin) - I was in the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH this past weekend. The trip was really spur of the moment but I had an absolutely amazing time! On Thursday night, I got to Orlando at 1 am (thank you delays in charlotte), but that did not stop me from waking up at 7 AM on Friday morning to get good use out of my disney tickets! We stayed at Disney's Swan & Dolphin Resort - the hotel is pretty nice but it has an amazing location! It is walking distance from Disney's Boardwalk and a ferry ride away from Epcot and MGM! Another perk of staying inside of Disney is the added bonus of magic hours - everyday, a different park will open earlier or stay open later just for the people that are staying inside of Disney! It is so great!

Early Friday morning - we headed to Epcot to spend most of the day there. Epcot is probably my favorite park - drink around the world - enough said! Epcot is definitely the best park for adults - walking around the world showcase is so much fun, and they also have amazing restaurants. My favorite pavillions are Mexico, Norway, Germany, Italy, Japan, France and the UK. This site offers a great insite to the Drink Around the World - HERE! My favorites are the blood orange margarita in Mexico (bar next to san angel restaurant inside of the pavillion), the German beer Altenmunster Oktoberfest, the grey goose citron lemonade in France, and last but not least - Boddingtons English pub ale! ALL so yummy and delicious (keep in mind these were all consumed in the span of 8 hours haha).

After spending most of the day at epcot - we transferred to Magic Kingdom - unfortunately my phone died around 8 pm so I do not have any pictures :( We were at magic until 2 am - to say my feet hurt is a HUGE understatment. We were all DEAD tired from walking all day and plus we got SOAKED on splash mountain. We still had a blast though, we love it no matter how tired we got! Saturday, we went to MGM (or Hollywood studios or whatever they call it these days but us true Disney fans call it MGM). The tower of terror is my favorite ride ever!! We ate at the 50s prime time diner and then did the animation academy where I drew this...

Birthday Re-Cap!

Hey everyone!! Long time no blog - this is easily the craziest week I have had at work... ever? I was in Atlanta for work with nonstop-meetings since Monday and got back to Charlotte Wednesday night after all day meetings (I DROVE for 4 hours in a torrential downpour & traffic) - AND had an all day conference yesterday! Needless to say - I am VERY exhausted/deadie. I really had SUCH an amazing birthday weekend with my friends and wanted to share with you all!

It's my BIRTHDAY! + my week so far

Well today is my 25th birthday!!! I honestly do not feel 25 in the very least. I have a hard time grasping that I am not 21 anymore - 25 sounds so... ADULT. Well anyways - I am so excited - I have 5 girlies in town this weekend - I have a great weekend planned with my girls and literally cannot wait till 6PM tonight! Work is absolutely crazy and I am so ready to have a fabulous time this weekend!
this greeted me at my office door this morning :)

How I Shop: Rebecca Taylor Sale + Extra 25% off!

My absolute favorite ready-to-wear designer is Rebecca Taylor - HANDS DOWN! I die for her beautiful and feminine clothes! Her stuff is a bit pricey - so I am always on the lookout for her things on sale. Somewhere I usually find very discounted Rebecca Taylor items isOff Fifth Saks 5th Ave - the outlet of Saks. You can usually find designers about 50-70% off there - aka shopping heaven!! However, the Rebecca Taylor site always has some really good sales as well! Right now - she has some great deals going on AND you can use the code RTEXTRA25 for an ADDITIONAL 25% off! I will list prices below without the sale included!


I simply could not resist and ordered these 2 babies for myself! I went the practical route with an LBD - I actually bought the blue dress pictured in black but I must have taken the last one because the black is sold out now! I thought the red flowered print dress would be perfect for my birthday dinner with my family next week.
 Photobucket
1. Strappy Back Dress (also comes in a rose color) - $94

Here are my other picks from the sale! Let me know if you end up buying anything!

Photobucket
2. Faux-Wrap Cami Dress (also comes in a yellow) - $118
4.  Sequin Dress (also comes in a bronze) - $134
6. Corset Gown in Peony (also comes in black and coral) - $190
7. Eyelit Slip Dress in Denim (also comes in a grey) - $158

Don't you love a good deal?

Weekend Re-Cap!

Hello lovely ladies! I feel like I have been such a horrible blogger lately - I recently took on a more prominent position at work and I am literally working non-stop all day (aka no down-time to blog! haha!). I have so many things I want to blog about and share, so I will try to blog at night from now on and dedicate some more blog time :) I still haven't had time to film my June Favorites video but I am planning on doing that after work tomorrow so stay tuned- I have some really great skincare and makeup favorites! As well as some fashion faves. 

Also - I want to share my journey with Crossfit! I started last week and am seriously addicted. It is PRETTY intense. I would not recommend it for those who do not work out on the regular but for those of you who are looking for a challenge and want a change in your workout routine - try this! I will keep you all updated on my progress! :) What I love the most is how friendly everyone is - today was the first day I worked out with the 6:30 class and literally everyone was telling me how good of a job I was doing for my first week. My ass and thighs are KILLING ME! If you want to get more information about crossfit - you can check out their official website - Crossfit

I am also SUPER excited this week because 4 of my lovely best friends plus my 2 sisters are coming into town for my birthday! I am looking forward to a great birthday weekend filled with laughter, champagne, and birthday cake vodka. :) You KNOW there will be plenty a picture after this weekend! And maybe some actual camera pictures and NOT just instagram pics (embarassed...) - these are currently chilling in my fridge in anticipation! 
Photobucket

Anyways - I had a really AMAZING weekend home in Atlanta - my sister Natalie had her official big graduation party with all our family and friends - I have been traveling so much and it is not stopping anytime soon. I had just been home last weekend and wasn't in the mood for the 3+ hour drive. Luckily - I found a super cheap ticket to fly home - plus I got to read my book and have some wine! Not to mention the flight was only 45 minutes! (#thatawkwardmoment when my dad liked this picture on instagram...)
Photobucket

Saturday was kind of a primping day for me - I got a Keratin treatment with my mom's hair stylist and he did a variation of it on me with a blow dryer (not a flat iron) b/c I did not want my hair would turn out too flat - I am literally obsessed with the results - I am sitting here with virtually no frizz on my just washed hair!! :) I also got a MUCH NEEDED trim - bye bye split ends. (Stay tuned for a healthy hair haul vlog coming up soon with some new products I ordered! - then it was party time! 

 We had the party at one of our restaurant's in Atlanta. My fellow blogger and amazing friend Donna (also known as Yoga in Heels!!) was able to come and I was so happy to see her!! BTW - my dress is Alice and Olivia (recently purchased from Shopbop)

My week so far via Instagram!

Happy Thursday everyone! Doesn't today feel like a horrible Monday? I hate that July 4th fell in the middle of the week! I hope you all had a great fourth of July! I spent most of the day out on the lake with my friends - I wasn't feeling too well due to the fact that I could BARELY walk bc of Crossfit! That is another story - I went to my first crossfit class on Tuesday morning and DAMN I am still sore! Anyone have any experiences with Crossfit? I am loving it so far - I have my one-on-one fundamentals class tonight and am SO excited1 I love the feeling of a good workout! I have been sticking to just cardio for the past 5 months and it is NOT working for me... I will keep you all updated on my progress :) 

work OOTD from Tuesday & my totally appropriate outfit for fireworks
