So, this is the week where I’m starting to get back into shape. Try not to judge me too much, but I despise exercise. Hate it. It wasn’t always the case… I used to really enjoy it… and even ran marathons. I’m determined to change my lazy ways. So, I started bootcamp this week. Two days a week… and we’ll go from there. On Tuesday night, I broke out in hives and got sick afterward. I took the class again last night and it was a little better. Baby steps. As for this weekend, the bf is away… so I’m catching up on cleaning, taxes, blog stuff, and crafts. I swear, I’m not eighty years old… I’ve also got plans for a facial, a massage, time with my sis, and a boozy dinner with one of my best pals. Overall, I’m just very thankful that it’s the weekend… I’ve been on a work/blog treadmill all week long, it’s time to step off and get some R&R. Last night I enjoyed a sushi dinner in bed, while watching House of Cards. Pretty much perfect.
DIY
- Obsessed with this necklace. Obsessed.
- I loved this statement bracelet. I can’t believe the base is made from safety pins!
- These macrame bracelets are just awesome.
Life
- Erin gave her site a pretty makeover, as did Cass. Both look beautiful!
- Caitlin ran a beautiful interview with my sister.
- A great round-up of font resources.
Style
- Shopbop added a slew of new stuff to their sale. I’ve got my eye on this minty frock and these perfect stripes.
- I did a fun little interview with STYLEDRVR.
- I love my sister’s illustrated outfit posts… she’s just too talented!
- The bf and I go on vacation in a few short weeks and I ended up buying this simple shift. Such a classic, easy basic.
- Speaking of vacation, how much do you love this mint + emerald combination?
- How good is Christin’s jacket?
- Parker (one of my favorite local brands) is offering 20% off of everything through 4/11. Use promo code Indio13!
Beauty
- Game of Thrones Beauty… loved this!
- Love this pretty messy bun.
- A really helpful guide for those who wonder: which curling does what?

Have a great weekend! Taking time for yourself is always important 🙂
Your sister’s illustrations are beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
So many awesome links! I really want to make that DIY braided rhinestone necklace a la Honestly WTF. And I hate working out, loathe it, but I force myself. Boot camp sounds scary!
Oh I like exercise so much! I wish I had more time, because it’s quite “relaxing” for me, and it makes me feel good. I never go to the gym, I just do exercise at home, listening to music.
But have a great weekend, and great links!
Thanks for linking to my interview and illustration!
Had so much fun yesterday 🙂
where are you guys going on vacation? im jealous!
Haha, you are so funny! I too signed up for a bootcamp 2 weeks ago (used to be a 3x a week runner, like you mention) and am now creaky and in pain – can barely type, LOL.
Great links this week -love the Game of Thrones beauty tips!!
