In love! I'm on the hunt for a light, solid button-up blouse I can pair with skirts and jeans. However, I wasn't going to pay more than $50 for one that was plain jane and boring. I love the yoke neckline and ruffles. I really wanted it in ivory to pair with some of my skirts, but they didn't have my size. But, I fell in love with the blouse in Orange and decided to pay full price for it. I wish it were a little longer but it will be perfect to tuck in to higher waisted skirts. Going Home.</div><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thank goodness my birthday is next month. I will be bringing home the Noon & Night dress. I love how it has a little stretch in it. It is unbelievably comfortable and super cute on. I didn't take any pics because the orange Nicoleta blouse underneath was an eyesore:) Shoot, if I don't wear the top I bought before 11/1, I'm taking it back to get the 15% off on it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyway, enjoy the rest of your weekend. We might be heading to a pumpkin patch tomorrow if the weather cooperates! </span><br />

You can find them on my Facebook page, at the bottom of my Gmail e-mails, and printed and stuck to my bathroom mirror when I was in high school. Problem is, there's just way too many great ones! I had fun on Pinterest tonight repinning several I liked.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Instead of staying here, we rented a house on Pear Point on San Juan Island - Friday Harbor. We had not been there before so we weren't quite sure what to expect. San Juan Island is probably one of the most beautiful places I have been to!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To get there, we drove about an hour to Anacortes, hopped on a ferry (cars, dog, and all), and then took an hour boat ride to Friday Harbor. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The town is warm and inviting and not as small as I had imagined. Most of the restaurants are nestled on top of one another across the street from the marina so imagine beautiful views. We enjoyed chowder and crabcakes, visited the local ice c</span>ream shop, and then cooked in the rest of our visit. There were a lot of eclectic shops including one filled with all things lavendar, <a href="http://www.pelindabalavender.com/">Pelindaba Lavendar</a> was the name. I didn't know so many items could be made from lavendar - from skin care products and fragrances to dips, beverages, and cookies. It smelled so good in there! We also grabbed a latte at the skinniest latte shop in the world.

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We spent most of our time away from the hustle and bustle. Our house was amazing! It was about 5 minutes from town but you would have thought we were hours away. Nestled in the woods and on the water, we had great views of wildlife including bald eagles and seals swimming to and fro. Snow capped Mt. Baker was in the distance and the only sounds we heard were that of a seaplane, boat, or the animals. That's it! It was very peaceful. I'd say we all enjoyed hours on the wrap around deck snuggled in blankets staring at the scenery.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We took a whale tour on the <a href="http://orcawhalewatch.com/">Western Prince</a>. About a 3 hour tour, we saw seals, porpoises, and after an hour or so of searching, we headed to Canadian waters where 60+ orca whales were spotted. That was the coolest part. Although you aren't guaranteed to see anything, I highly recommend this tour.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

I love to workout and used to be one of those die hard, 6 days a week crazies but after I had my little and work got busier, I've neglected it. And, I'm not proud of that...or the muscle I've lost! So, time to get things back in order here.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To rev things up a bit and get me in the workout mood, I thought I'd share with you my workout must-haves as well as my "get pumped up" playlist.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; height: 500px; position: relative; width: 500px;"><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/my_workout_essentials/set?.embedder=2415909&.mid=embed&id=37074437"><img alt="My Workout Essentials" border="0" height="500" src="http://embed.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/cid/37074437/id/nMXxyUjf4BGRqiLf1EtQtQ/size/x.jpg" title="My Workout Essentials" width="500" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><small><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/my_workout_essentials/set?.embedder=2415909&.mid=embed&id=37074437">My Workout Essentials</a> by <a href="http://lmeewes11.polyvore.com/?.embedder=2415909&.mid=embed">lmeewes11</a> featuring <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/lace_shoes/shop?query=lace+shoes">lace shoes</a></small></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Lululemon is my go-to brand for most of my workout apparel. Primarily a yoga apparel store, they are now expanding their selection to running and cycling! If you don't own any lulu, you're missing out!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">ASICS Gel Kayano have always been the running shoe of choice for me. However, I'm kind of wanting to try the Nike Free shoes. Anyone have them and can provide feedback?</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can't live without music or good headphones so I use my really old Nano and a pair of Klipsch earbuds I was gifted when I was a headphones buyer. They're expensive but once you have a nice pair of headphones, you can't go back to the cheapies. The sound quality and clarity plus the fit are amazing!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And, the beloved Nike Tempo running shorts. I cannot live without these! I've been wearing them for years and these are about the only brand/style I recommend. Very comfortable and give you a long, lean look. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

<a href="http://www.birchbox.com/shop/blinc-eyeliner" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">blinc Eyeliner in Black</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">: This eyeliner was pretty cool. However, inexperienced make-up people like myself - all I can say is BEWARE!!! This is a liquid eyeliner that is basically tattooed to your eyelid when applied. It really does not flake off all day long which I thought was pretty amazing. And, just as the packaging promises, it literally peels off with a little warm water and finger pressure. So, the night after I wore it on my eyelids, I was bored while my little was taking a bath and thought I would try to apply it to my lower half. BAD IDEA. I did pretty well with one eye but completely screwed up on the other, and my entire eye turned black from the eyeliner getting in it. Not cool! Plus, I'm not big on applying liquid eyeliner or mascara, for that matter, on my lower half because I feel I look a little gothic. It's just so harsh looking on someone who wears very little make-up. And, I prefer a black brown color over jet black. Eek! All and all, good product. I did notice I had a little residue in the corner of my eyes by night but unsure if that was from the mishap so I'll give it 5 stars for now.</span><br />

I'm a hair tie/ponytail holder junkie. I always have a least one on my wrist. Yes, it sometimes cuts off my wrist circulation and yes, they always leave a crease in my thin hair. What's nice about the Twistband hair tie is that it doesn't leave creases, no circulation issues, and they are a little cuter than the Goody ponytail holders I use. I've used it once and don't think I wrapped it around my hair enough times because it fell out shortly after. I love the gym and love wearing ponytails so if it can stay in my hair for a long period of time and outlast my gym routines, they might be my go to's in the future.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

My little and I went to a friend's 2 year old's birthday. We had so much fun! So much fun that we were the first there at 4 and the last to leave after 9 last night. Ella loved playing with 2 other little girls her age. And, the food was amazing - homemade Asian cuisine! While hubs got up at 4 a.m. this morning to do a triathlon, we slept in and are now heading out to get some things done. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

I'm not one for heavy accessorization - never have been, and definitely won't be now that I have a child. Nothing is worse than having your necklace pulled on and broken or your earring almost being ripped out of your ear. Summer is my season, which cries simple due to warmer temps, and I'm not a fan of layers. Don't get me wrong, I love jewelry, shoes, belts, scarves, etc but I'm pretty picky. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Case in point, for jewelry, I'd rather invest in really nice, timeless pieces such as my David Yurman bracelet, Palabra necklaces, pearl earrings, and wedding ring/bands (who am I kidding, they were all gifted, hehe) but I wear these items, minus the earrings, 24/7. They never come off. And, when I wear costume jewelry, I like to invest in pieces I know will last a long time, especially items from places like Banana Republic, <a href="http://www.dianawarnerstudio.com/">Diana Warner</a>, <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/">Anthro</a>, and handmade items from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#%21/pages/palabra-designs/187108864490">Palabra Designs</a>, festivals I've attended, or Etsy. And, yes I love shoes, but I'm not technically a shoe person. I think you either are or you aren't. That's not the department I run for when I'm out shopping if you know what I mean. BUT, I'm getting better about adding a little bit more of accessories as they add a nice touch to outfits (that's where you readers come in with all your great outfits/ideas).</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Bottom line, I want to be comfortable and have my own style, yet always look put together, even on the weekends. I think that's really important from head to toe because 1) you feel good when you look nice and 2) I think you're more respected, especially on the job. Anyway, I'll get off my tangent. Below is what I wore today - simple, comfy, but tried to not be completely boring by adding a mustard colored braided belt and aqua and mustard earrings to jazz things up a bit.</span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">OH! And, I just have to mention that I went into Forever 21 today - a 3 story one. I will never do that again! Screeching loud music, millions of people, and so much apparel it makes your head spin (hence the headache) = a BIG no thank you for me! Believe it or not, I am not a shopper and I absolutely despise browsing racks of clothes. But, I can find some awesome stuff and spend money in no time. My routine goes like this:</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Research every item I like and might want to try on.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Go to store and pull those items.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Make one round around the store to ensure I didn't miss anything.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Only one dressing room massare is allowed.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- All of the above needs to be done in 30 minutes but no more than 45.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- And, I can do all of the above and create massive damage.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So, for all of you who I have seen with a cute number from Forever 21....I admire you!!! But, it's just not for me. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> And to what I wore today - I was be bopping around in this flowy number:</div><br />

This week has gone by so fast! And, can you believe that this is the 1st week Seattle has had true summer. We have been in the upper 70's all week with beautiful, warm, sunny weather. It's been awesome! I can actually wear what's in my closet now - or at least for the next few weeks if the weather holds up. So, I will forewarn you that I will be wearing variations of past OOTDs because I hardly get to wear the cute summer clothes I have:)</span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I need to wear them while I can!</span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am really happy with this month's birchbox. It had so many great samples to try and of those I've tried, I love them!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What I received:</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.birchbox.com/shop/redken-shine-flash-02-glistening-mist">Redken Shine Flash 02 Glistening Mist</a> - I am a huge fan of lightweight hairspray. I have super thin hair and these bangs of mine need a little hold so I don't have a bang butt cut. I have only tried this once thus far, but like it. Lightweight but still hefty enough to hold those flyaways all day. I currently use BigSexyHair volumizing hairspray available at Target and Amazon for roughly $14. Downside to the Redken product is it's only available at Redken salons and you have to purchase in-store. No thanks for me unless I fall in love. I'm an online shopper and expect free shipping, preferably 2 day (thanks, Amazon for creating this new expectation of mine across all retail:)).</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><a href="http://www.birchbox.com/shop/zoya-touch-collection" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Zoya Touch Collection</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> - I'm not a big fan of painting my fingernails; I never have. I always have my toes painted but like my fingernails au naturel. I did play around with this neutral polish and was pleasantly surprised. It's actually still on my nails. I received a gray polish from this brand several Birchboxes ago, but gray? blah, so I never tried it. It's not OPI but still a good polish. I received the Pandora color.</span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Kind Bar - Oh my goodness! These.things.are.amazing!!!! If you're a fruit and nut chewy granola bar lover like I am, you will love these. I didn't get a picture of what I received in the Birchbox because my little one had already eaten most of it. Thank goodness she left me some because I about died and went to heaven after tasting it. The saturated fat is a little higher than the other granola bars I like (Lara Bars), but I don't think I really care because these are so good. I just checked them out on Amazon and there are tons of flavors (15 to be exact). I had the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/KIND-Almond-Apricot-Natural-Gluten/dp/B0034EFIPQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1311827839&sr=8-4">Almond & Apricot</a> flavor but some others are:</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm a little embarrassed to say I've had this dress for 7+ months and this is the first time I've worn it. Part of the reason is that it's a little big and the other, I think it's more of a fall/winter dress and I pretty much wear nothing but jeans during that time of year due to rain. I'm going to try to be better and diversify a bit more this year after finding all sorts of inspiration from your blogs!! But I thought the nude shoes and blue cardigan brightened and lightened things up a bit so I could wear it now.</div><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I get in a "rain rut" here in Seattle and it really affects my mood. I love clothes, have a closet full of so many things I adore and find I don't wear a lot of them during the fall/winter rainy months. Do you get in these kinds of ruts? What do you do to snap out of them?</span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">On Saturday after running errands, including my favorite place Tarjay, we headed to the festival. Ella enjoyed the Kids Area which included riding the saucer ride (what is this darn thing called? I just think of Disneyland's teacups), the bouncy house, chair swing, and eating ice cream and cotton candy. We actually hit up the fair twice - 1 mid afternoon run through and then for dinner. Did I mention the philly cheesesteak was delic?!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">And, lost but not least, I made the mallows! Yep! </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">Was it easy? No. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">Why, you ask? Too many drawn out steps like "let mixture mix for 15 minutes," "let mixture sit for 2 hours," "make sure each marshmallow square is covered in the cornstarch/powdered sugar mixture on all sides," and "sit on a cake rack overnight". What is a cake rack? I used the rack in our micowave! Sure did, took that baby out, washed it, and put every single marshmallow on there to dry...overnight!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">Are they good? YES!!! Very sweet though. I can only have 2 and feel sick and we all know, I can usually handle my sugar.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">Would you do it again? Haven't decided yet. It's not a complicated process but it takes too long!</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br />
