My Spring Break "To-Do" List

1.  Go to the beach for a few more days with my mom and Husband.
2.  Go to the restaurant where they throw large, hot bread rolls at me. (Lambert's Cafe in Foley, AL)
3.  Sing "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" theme song without being looked at oddly.
4.  Drink a cup of hot tea every night BEFORE falling asleep (it's been rough lately).
5.  Track practice (duh).
6.  Grade papers (duh).
7.  Cook SOMETHING for dinner.
8.  Clean something in the apartment.
9.  Put away (most of) my winter clothing.
10. Take some of the girls from track out for a day of shopping and food (they care mostly about the food).

This is an extremely ambitious list for next week.  And obviously I need to get through this week first.  But miracles happen.

Wish List

Spring Flats

I love spring.  But in Alabama, rain is king.  Oh it's still warm, but it can rain at any time of day, any day.  And that weather issue is kind of a problem for a girl who wants to wear flats.  I used to wear heels to school, but I've found that clip clopping in the halls (by myself) is extra loud.  And so, cute flats have been on my radar.

Bernice Taper Toe Two Piece Flats from Target | I'm still loving the navy blue and white stripe nautical theme.  I think it goes with a lot more outfits than we give it credit for.  This could become a definite staple in my closet.

Pointed Two Flats from MANGO | I would love to have a pair of both neutral d'Orsay flats and ones with a bright pop of color to ring in spring.  These ones are especially classy.

Kristin Cavallari "Cadence" Flats from Nordstrom | And who can't use a good pair of black flats?  As said, the d'orsay cut is especially pleasing to my eyes right now.

February Favorites

February brought snow.  And for Alabama, lots of it.  In fact, it's the most snow they've had in YEARS.  Which means that I got snow days- two, in fact.  And they were lovely.  And so was the snow.

Midland Tweet Satchel from Anthropologie | I've had this satchel for awhile, but I've recently brought it out from the closet again.  My other work bag is somewhat of a cumbersome affair, and so this has been nice to bring my schoolwork home during the week. I use my Lo & Sons bag for the weekend.

Lipton Vanilla Caramel Black Tea | Once I did get back to school, I took it from three cups of a coffee to two cups and a cup of tea.  I believe I've hit the magic numbers.

BareMinerals Complexion Rescue and Brush | THIS is my all-time favorite right now.  I took the plunge and bought it in February, and it's the only foundation I want to use.  The first day I used it, I received tons of compliments on how "fresh" my face looked and how "rested" I looked.  I'll definitely be rebuying.  I feel like I'm not wearing anything on my skin but it makes it look naturally better! It feels so hydrating on the face, and even though my face tends to get oily, a little setting powder and spray does the trick. Add a little SPF 30, no parabens, no sulfates, and no other "bad ingredients" and this is a winner.  This was definitely my favorite February Favorite.

Snow Day | I loved my snow days.  I loved what I did on my snow days.  Drank tons of tea, ate pastries for lunch, crafted, and read/shopped.

Aurora Nike Thermal | The kids are in love with this, and I am too.  I just can't get over the colors/design.
