:: weekend things ::
hope you all had a great weekend!
it was a gorgeous one here in Chicago, and the air and water show is always one of my favorite weekends.
I was able to get a tiny bit of a tan while we watched,
and still somehow made it to my Sunday morning SoulCycle class despite copious moscow mules on Saturday.
for a date night friday, I wore some pieces that are all accompanying me to Italy.
Nordstrom Rack has been a great place for cheap, adorable dresses.
I got this dress for $25! It doesn’t look cheap in person, the cut is so cute along the neckline, and they still have ALL SIZES in stock. I couldn’t recommend it more.
{ strappy embroidered dress } $25, all sizes still available
The shoes I’m wearing are Loeffler Randall. My friends recommended them whole heartedly – they wore them on trips abroad for days and said they were super comfortable and so far I completely agree. I think they’ll be perfect for our trip, the soles have two big added pads of cushioning.
make sure you order up a size! I am always, always an 8 and I had to return mine and order and 8.5
I found two sites where they are marked down to $100 or less.

{ loeffler randall sandals } found for 40% off at 6 pm
and also saks off 5th has them for 60% off !!
shopbop has them in all colors and styles for full price.
always do a google shopping search before you buy anything because especially with shoes I always find big, big discounts!!
:: soulcycle ::
So, Sunday I got up bright and early and went to SoulCycle.
It was definitely intense, and my ladybits and buttocks are hurting in weird places (will never understand how people ride those bikes on a regular basis without, like, a temperpedic pillow hidden in their shorts between their legs)
my lady bits would disagree with Pink wholeheartedly.
HOWEVER, other than that I did REALLY enjoy it.
did I “$30 a class + $3 shoe rental” enjoy it? No.
(but first class is only 20! such a steal!
so totally being sarcastic thats a killing!)
Our instructor was good, I like that the room is dark, and the music is GREAT.
I wish he had been a little kookier/insane/prophetic like I have heard some of them could be.
if he had been spitting out lines like
if he had been spitting out lines like
then I SERIOUSLY think I would probably pay the ridiculous amount and go once or twice a month. So I guess good thing he wasn’t saying things like that or calling me Unicorn because my paychecks would be disappearing faster than my sobriety on a Friday at 5.
and SIDE NOTE.
did you know that the instructor in Odd Mom Out during the fabulous Unicorn scene is LEGITIMATELY a soul cycle instructor? Her name is MB.
see it here : Mind. Blown.
TOO GOOD. I can’t wait until next summer for more of that show 🙁
afterwards we went to brunch and this girl didn’t say a word to her boyfriend/husband the entire meal she was just staring at me in horror.
I wanted to turn to her and be like I KNOW I HAVE SWEAT STILL COMING DOWN MY FACE GET OVER IT LADY I DONT GLOW I SWEAT LIKE A FAT MAN.
OTHER side note : this article about what would grace kelly wear to SoulCycle was cute.
and I want the tory burch fitbit cover (only $35) but that would require me to get a fitbit….. and my little pedometer was only 10 bucks which is way better than the $100+ of a fitbit.
I am lusting hard core after this red dress and so tempted to get it.
unfortunately it does not fit into my Italy budget and don’t think it’ll happen.
I’ll also take her perfectly wavy locks…..
but something tells me that won’t happen for me either. Damn.
