girl meets: 11.23.13.

friday.

I love days where I get to work with my best friend. Yesterday we had a 4-hour long meeting about FreelyBe, complete with homemade lattes a la Jessi.

Jessi also let me borrow this gorgeous Ben Amun art deco necklace to wear for the night. It went perfectly with an (unpictured) all-black ensemble.

The night included a birthday party followed by a charity event, for what ended up being the perfect finish to the work week.

fitness.

I tried to sleep in today, but my internal clock had me wide awake at 8am, so I headed down to the gym.

30 minute strength, 20 minutes cardio – check and check!

fashion.

Later in the day I headed out for some retail therapy, thanks to a gift card I’ve been saving for an open afternoon. Since it’s gotten a lot colder lately, I finally brought out one of my winter coats (Sparkle & Fade) and a faux fur neck warmer.

(…disregard the under-construction apartment ;))

And of course, gotta keep the hands warm.

food.

I have a love/hate relationship with yogurt. Sometimes it’s good, but sometimes the flavor and consistency just grosses me out.

But this…THIS is yogurt done right. Chobani Flip Almond Coco Loco. So delicious!

How has your weekend been so far? Any highlights?

Well said, Mr. Lewis.

fashion.

Leopard + red lips will always be one of my favorite combos.

(also does wonders for making a messy bun look intentional)

food.

So I experiemented with making a healthy breakfast cookie…

They were…not bad. Need some tweaking. Recipe (hopefully) to come!

In the meantime, this old favorite will do the trick.

fitness.

Today’s planned 30-minute elliptical workout turned into 60, with a little help from my new friends.

I know…I’m WAY behind the game on HIMYM. Only eight seasons to go…

Do you prefer music or watching TV/movies while exercising?
