This sweater was an ordeal to finally get - Taylor tried it on in August but it was more than we wanted to spend. We kept seeing it in stores but it never went on sale. I was going to surprise him with it for Christmas BUT it was sold out everywhere. I was so sad. His birthday is only one month after Christmas and I was searching in J.Crew's sale section to see if there was anything good and I saw that this sweater was back in stock, I assumed it would only be in an x-large or something... but it wasn't - it was in fact only available in a small which is Taylor's size!!!! I'm pretty sure they were having 50% off final sale or something so I snatched it up right away and that afternoon it was gone again. The timing of it all was absolutely perfect. When Taylor opened this sweater on his birthday he was so extremely surprised and happy!

On another note - monogram is so popular right now, which I love, and this gold "W" necklace from Jane is so perfect. Jane sells handmade and boutique items which are updated daily and the deals are always amazing.

Happy hump day! I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far! Today I am sharing with you an outfit I wore to dinner with the family. I am definitely getting good use out of this teal blazer from J.Crew Factory - it is a perfect piece to transition into warmer weather. Unfortunately this color is sold out online but you  may be able to still find it in your local store! Here are some other fun blazers that are super cute!

Health & Fitness: at home yoga

February was a wonderful but sluggish month for me.

I was extremely busy with so many projects and it also happened to be the most eventful month I've had in a very long time. In the short 28 days we celebrated; my husbands birthday, President's Day weekend, Valentine's Day, my brother returning home from his LDS church mission to Peru, my other brother and sister-in-law visiting with their new baby, my grandparent's coming to town, my sister-in-law's birthday, and my birthday. Needless to say, there were many late nights and fun events along with much eating out and not working out. So I'm sorry for the lack of health & fitness inspiration this month... 

I do have two recommendations for today.

1) Find a massage therapist and stick with them. It has been about three years since I started seeing Amber, she is hands down one of my favorite people in the world. I have been going about every month (and when I was planning my wedding and sewing the 250+ hours of my gown I was going twice a month). It has made all the difference. I go for 2 hours each time and it is the best use of my time and money.

2) Practice yoga. I don't always LOVE yoga - as in, I don't think I could do it everyday like I could Pilates.. BUT I do think it is extremely beneficial to incorporate it into your weekly routine. I love how stretched and relaxed I feel after. I have search long and hard to find advanced yoga that I enjoy on YouTube and finally succeeded with this Yoga Vinyasa Strong Flow - Full 45 minutes - Advanced video.

Enjoy!

If anyone else has great yoga videos they'd like to share, please leave a link in the comments below! I always love finding new routines to try.
