What to Wear for Thanksgiving!

First of all - HAPPY FRIDAY! Second of all...ladies - Thanksgiving is NEXT THURSDAY. If that doesn't seem crazy enough - Christmas is only 38 days away! The holiday season is my favorite part of the year! In my family, Christmas is always a dressier event (we usually celebrate with all of our family on Christmas Eve in our best holiday wear & then Christmas day is spent in PJs!), but Thanksgiving is always a pretty casual event - yet of course still put together/cute! Each year, I think about what I am going to wear & I have to put the day into perspective. Why yes I want to look cute, but I also do not want to feel uncomfortable at all - on the contrary - I will be stuffing my face with the best food on earth - Jeans are a NO-NO! Let me introduce you to my best friend - the J Crew Pixie Pants. I have talked about them many times on my blog - they are the best pair of pants I own! They are a black pant/semi-legging that make your legs look awesome while being extremely comfortable - I suggest you definitely invest in a pair!

Pair these babies with a comfy sweater + some nice booties or boots and you are GOLDEN!

J Crew Pixie Pants = my life, I cannot tell you how much these ROCK.
Tobi Funnel Neck Sweater = on my way to my house as we speak (aka I really will wear this for thanksgiving!)
Forever 21 Contrast Triangles Sweater = such a cute sweater!
Vince Camuto Brooklee Boots = the pair I will wear on Thanksgiving
Nine West Haywire Bootie = these have been on my wishlist for quite a while, I think I need them?

Weekend Re-cap!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I was in Atlanta since last Thursday attending a conference for graduate school and I had an amazing time getting to know the school and meeting some great friends!

amazing dinner at our steakhouse Pampas Steakhouse - had not been in so long! I may be biased but we are the number one rated steakhouse in ZAGAT!! :) Our executive chef is from Peru so his ceviche is TO DIE FOR! & I had the king salmon - amazing as well!

momma and me :)

VOTE!

Regardless of who you vote for, there is no denying how amazing it is that we have the RIGHT & FREEDOM to vote in our wonderful country. Exercise your right to vote - it is one of the greatest rights we have as Americans - a right that MANY others around the world are denied. My heritage is Mexican and my first language was Spanish, but I SURE AM FREAKING PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!

just voted :)

Happy Election Day!! And may the odds be ever in your favor....

Weekend Re-Cap!

Hey y'all! It's Monday again - but at least we got that extra hour of sleep - I was so rested when I woke up this morning! I was fighting off a migraine all day yesterday so I did not really do anything on Sunday. Friday - I went out with my friends after work. Saturday - I somehow managed to drag myself to Flywheel and it was such a hard class! Maybe the redbull vodkas from the night before had something to do with it.... After - my sister and I had lunch and shopped a little. I took a long nap and then we had sushi - it was so good! Felt so great to have a relaxing weekend - I have a crazy week coming up!

friday night = party night!

no idea where we found these?

and then I hated taking pictures the rest of the weekend - bad blogger - oh well! :x

Have a great week everyone! Stay tuned for some fun videos this week! :)

Friday Favorites!

FRIDAY! FRIDAY! FRIDAY! Linking up with the resurrected FRIDAY FAVES from Lindsey at The Bargain Blonde! :)

Seriously obsessed with THIS BREAKFAST! I stole this idea from my boss - who is around my parents age and she is the healthiest person I know - she is a yogi and she just eats so healthy! It's very inspiring and she is my travel companion so we always hit the gym together and eat yummy healthy things while we travel. She eats greek yogurt with berries every morning and I have started doing the same! I don't know what it is about NC but we have the WORST PRODUCE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. Raspberries & blueberries last about 2 days AT THE MOST. IN THE FRIDGE! It is so frustrating but my boss told me she just gets the frozen berries and just heats them up in the microwave for a couple of seconds - it is sooo good to have fresh yummy cold berries with your yogurt! I have been getting mine at Target - the dark pitted cherries are my absolute favorite!

been loving this greek yogurt bc it comes in really small containers I can actually finish!

You guys know I love me some T. Swift - I haven not listened to anything but her new album since it came out - it is definitely different from her past stuff and not country at all but I love it! My favorites are State of Grace, Treacherous, 22, The Last Time, The Lucky One, Everything Has Changed, and Starlight! :)

Last but NOT least...

I am SO obsessed with Flywheel - it is such a great workout - I am IN LOVE with it. It is intense cardio but I love the vibe - the studio is so nice and clean - Check out their website here to see if they have any near you - I highly recommend it & the first class is always free!

If you missed my post yesterday - I shared my October beauty favorites & they are all such great products I am loving!

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!!! :)

October Beauty Favorites Video!

It blows my mind that it is November 1st - seriously where the hell did this year go? I can almost smell our Thanksgiving feast! I have a lot of great beauty products that I recommend in this video - let me know if you have any questions or want me to do a more in-depth review! I feel like I look so tired and gross here and the lighting is pretty bad but make sure you watch in HD. I am investing in lighting ASAP! :)
