Home decor has quickly become my favorite way to spend my paychecks lately and I feel like my house is almost done being decorated... for now. Over the past week I have picked up a few last minute items to finish up my living room including new pillows and some new candles. I wanted to highlight some of my favorite pieces today on the blog. I have been searching for ways to accent the room ever since I put my coffee table together a few weeks ago and these small pieces are just what I was looking for. Also, the candle tray, pretttty much my new favorite thing in my house.

I'm not gonna lie, I have been wanting a monogrammed necklace for at least the past year. When 9thandElm reached out to me and said I could pick out some pieces on their website I was practically jumping up and down when I saw that they had monogrammed necklaces. Maybe its the few years I spent on the east coast, or the fact that I secretly want to be a southern girl, but I am a huge fan of monograms, and gold versions are no exception. I couldn't wait for this baby to arrive and I haven't taken it off since it did. I love it paired with this royal blue and my favorite white jeans: a perfect look for a summer night.

Linkin' up with Tara today!

For the past few weeks I have really been making an effort to hit the gym more. I am not sure if it is because I am prepping for my high school reunion or the fact that it's nice to get out of the house during the middle of the day, but either way, I have been looking for ways to get in shape and get out of my routine.

In the beginning, I went to a few crossfit classes but decided that they weren't ideal for me. I have tried barre classes, spin classes and running around the neighborhood. Well, yesterday, my friend Brittney decided to really kick my butt. We went swimming at the community pool down the road... and then she made me run up and down the bleachers at my old high school... over 50 times. Needless to say, I am sore today. So, instead of focusing on my pain, I decided to focus on cute workout gear that I need to get my butt into better shape.

After spending this past weekend out in the middle of the desert in Nevada, I came hope with a whole new appreciation for my home state. I spent the weekend at Night in the Country which is a weekend-long music festival full of camping, sunshine, music and drinks. It was my first time attending and I loved every minute of it. Even though we had to go days without showering, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I came home on Sunday morning to find this beautiful necklace in my mailbox... just one more thing to remind me about how much I love this place.
