Up & Running

February 23, 2014 — Leave a comment

All of my posts so far have introductions referring to my surgeries, but that’s my life right now!  Trust me, I can’t wait for it to be done either!

I have known for years that I would need these foot surgeries, so at a certain point I decided to push through workouts with some slightly worn out running shoes.  I didn’t want to buy new ones that might not fit comfortably after the surgery adjustments.

You better believe that since completing the surgeries, I’ve been scoping some out!

Loving all of the bright color combos…

Saucony Womens Guide 7 Running Fit

Dual Fusion 2.0 Nike Nordstrom

Nike Womens LunarEclipse+3 Dicks SG

Gel DS Racer10 Asics Nordstrom

Free 5.0 TR Fit 4 Nike Nordstrom

Last, but certainly not least…

Free 5.0 V4 Nike Nordstrom

I have been OBSESSING over these cheetah Nikes for foreverrrr.  Literally, like a year ago, I was pinteresting while the bf was watching football (typical), and I was like babe, I NEED these.  Luckily now that I am actually in the market for some new sneaks, it is actually a NEED.  Seriously, gimme.

Top to Bottom:

Saucony Women’s Guide 7, Nike Dual Fusion 2.0, Nike LunarEclipse +3, Asics Gel DS Racer10, Nike Free 5.0 TR Fit 4, Nike Free 5.0 V4

Hope you’re having a great weekend!

Peacock Blue

Long time, no post. My apologies.  I started the blog during my right foot’s surgery leave in October, and then as I went back to work and the holidays snuck up, I let time slip away from me.  I am just finishing up a second surgery leave which started in January after my left foot’s surgery.  This time I have a cast, and will have it for another month minimum, but wanted to try to get back in the blog swing of things before returning to work and other craziness this time around.

Since it is difficult for me to do much physically, I still have a few projects to complete before I’m ready to share my room re-do updates.  I will have this up as soon as possible!

In the meantime, since I have had to spend lots of time sitting and with my foot elevated, I have also had lots of time to gather some inspiration.  Lately, I have been loving pops of peacock blue in home decor.  I realized one day that I had been pinning a variety of images that use this deep navy/teal color in combination with white or lighter colors.  Whether the peacock blue or the lighter color is the accent, it seems to balance out beautifully.
