I Spy {Governors Ball Festival Fashion}

The Governors Ball was this past weekend in NYC and as with any musical festival that I am not in attendance, my level of envy was pretty major!
The three day event was one big ole' muddy mess but, let's be real, a phenom music line up and reverting back to childish mud pie shenanigans is surely a recipe for one blast of a good time!

Quote Of The Week {Finding Inner Happiness and the Love Within}

This week’s quote really hits home for me.

Over the past 5 years I have felt like I have been on an emotional rollercoaster with many life experiences including a few heartbreaks with family, friends, and a long term relationship. However, I have always believed that God is in total control and no matter how out of control things can become I know that everything is leading to something so much greater.

Life is still not perfect and I am still working towards many goals but, there is nothing better than catching yourself smiling for no reason at all. I have made several changes in my life for ME and decided a few months back to focus all of my energy on myself in search of my love within. If it makes me happy then I will go for it. If it doesn't make me smile and intrigue me...I don't waste my time or energy.

Like the saying goes...Life is too short to be anything but happy!

Wishing you all a happy week!!

I Spy {Back to the Basics}

 My sweet mother for as long as I can remember has always said to me, "Tiffany you really should try to buy more classic pieces for your wardrobe and a little less trendy pieces that you can only wear a time or two." Do I agree with her? Absolutely! Do I find shopping for basics nearly as enjoyable as picking up an eye-catching "O.M.Gah Where did you get that" item?? No way!!
But, having said that, there is one basic piece that I think every woman should have in her closet…
A White Silk Blouse!!
Whether you dress it up or down, this simple top can come across as playful and flirty or give off super sex appeal!
The choice is yours…

If the Music is Good, You *Dance* {#Dchic Top 5 Downloads}

It has been another crazy week with taking care of the pup {who might I add had a great checkup this morning...#happydance} and snoozefest adult type stuff like dentist appointment, car inspection, insurance policy adjustments (apparently I think I'm a nascar driver every time I get behind the wheel).
The one thing that keeps me somewhat sane during all the madness is my afternoon runs.
I use to despise running- seriously unless I was being chased, it just was not going to happen.
But, for the last 3 years or so I have become slightly obsessed!!
Since, I am behind on everything, I thought today I would share my fave songs that help me get my run on.  Hopefully, by next week I will be caught up with life and can share some new releases with ya!

AND...I know you're thinking Ice Cube?? Isn't that a little slow?? BUT, I swear this is one of the best songs to workout to...My run surely gets extra swaggerish when it comes on.

Happy Weekend Lovebugs!!

Quote Of The Week

All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all
-billy ray cyrus

As cheesy as Mr. Billy Ray might be- I have to say the lyrics of this song get me every time.  They always provide a good reminder to pay respect and continually keep those fighting for and serving our country close in prayer.

Happy Memorial Day!
