Pick-Me-Ups

Everyone needs a few pick-me-ups every so often to get them through rainy days or bad weeks at work or school. Here are just a few of my favorite things that always tickle my fancy when time seems like its slow and dreary in the middle of the month:

 

Nights out for dinner with the girls are a great way to catch up and get away from the stress from work, school, and life. {I look forward to these twice a month.}

 

 Family BBQ's usually result in family reunions where we act goofy and reminisce of years gone by. {Target straw fedora; Forever 21 top}

 I'm currently obsessed with Instagram; an app that lets you blog through photos. I try to post a photo everyday, whether it be an outfit of the day, food, or just random finds. {I love my followers and their photos. A lot of the users are very talented and see such magnificent things all over the world.} {American Eagle denim jacket, skinny jeans and bag; Forever 21 sweater and booties; Old Navy tank top; Macy's scarf; J. Crew IPhone case}

 Manicures- whether it be self or professional- always make me feel better on a gloomy day. {I love playing with trends and fun colors.} {VanD'Go and Carnival - Essie; Queen of Everything- Sephora by OPI}

I have this new obsession with pleats. They're just so feminine and flirty and contrast amazingly with my leather bomber! {Skirt and dress- Forever 21}
