What I'm Loving Wednesday

How is it only Wednesday?  Last weekend feels like years ago. 

1. Instagram.  

Just recently (January), my life was changed by the acquisition of an iPhone, which is why I'm so late onto the Instagram bandwagon.  It's like Facebook, but better, because you don't have to hear everyone's political rants!  (follow me @beccaardoin)

2.   My busy spring schedule.

There is so much fun stuff coming up locally!  Actually, I had to turn down invites to the Women's Final Four in New Orleans and the Zurich Open/first weekend of Jazz Fest in New Orleans because I have stuff going on both weekends.   2013 CrossFit Games South Central Regionals in San Antonio also falls on a weekend I have plans.  That's the one that breaks my heart!  I wish more than anything that I could be two places at once so I could cheer on all the competitors from CFLC that I know will be there.

3.  Zumba!

It's like going to the club on my lunch break!  So much fun and such a release in the middle of a hectic work day.  It, like our boot camp, is led by employees using their own time.  They are all certified and awesome.  While I do work up a sweat, it isn't quite intense enough for me to call my work out of the day.  I usually hit CrossFit after work on Zumba days.

4. Bacon

Loathing used to fill my body as the smell of bacon filled my nose, but somehow, someway I have seen the light.  I am now bacon obsessed! The last piece of bacon in the house was fried up and gobbled down Monday and I have been longing for some salty, fatty, delicious pig belly ever since.  Good thing it's Paleo!

5.  These tanks.

Crack.me.up!  Someone buy them for me. :)

What I ________ Wednesday, Vol. 19

It's been a while, but I'm bringing back What I ____ Wednesday.  (Last one was over a month ago!)
What I Want to Wear this Spring Wednesday

I don't know about y'all, but I've got spring fever.  Every store is displaying cute, new spring fashion.  I'm ready to sport sundresses, wedges, straw bags, linen, and seersucker!

Here are a few pieces I would love to see in my spring/summer 2012 wardrobe:

 I adore lace, especially in kelly green.

 Mint is officially my color of spring.  It's great as a neutral with red, navy, black, tan, hot pink, cobalt, or orange.

Not only are the colors of this necklace from J.Crew gorgeous (I'm such a blues and greens girl), but also the vintage feel is perfect.  This is at the top of my wish list.

Coral is another one of my favorite go to colors for summer.  It looks great with a tan.

This dress is so sweet and feminine.  I think it would make me feel pretty. :)

If I win the Paleo challenge, my spoils of victory will be spent on this charming Lilly octopus bikini!

Hopefully, by the spring, my legs will be more toned and short ready, not to mention, the rest of my body being swimsuit ready!



Do you prefer winter wardrobes or summer wardrobes?

I have a wierd love affair with coats (even though I rarely get the opportunity to wear them in SW Louisiana!), but much prefer warm weather clothes.
