pinkish purple.

i love that everyone is getting into the spirit of valentines.
i ordered a mocha at starbucks today, which came in this cute heart-adorned cup, and was given this 'buy one mocha
and get one free' card. now, i could do without the commercialized couples dinners, but coffee?
that's the way to my heart.

met up with the gang this morning for a beach workout. it was pouring rain, and i went expecting hoping for a plan b. something like a few quick stretches under covers followed by a cup of coffee...where we could talk about next week's workout? no such luck. there was no plan b. we ran the beach then did a timed series of high intensity sit-ups, push-ups, planks, squats, jumps (onto a low wall)...eight sets. in the pouring rain. i was drenched down to my undies and my shoes were sloshy inside, but amen to my maybelline gel eyeliner
which didn't run at all. 

 


this hot mocha was perfect on this rainy day.

shoes, nine west (buy); necklace, bebe)

Love your pattern mixing and your heart cup, too cute. Now I feel compelled to go to Starbucks.
I can't believe you ran in the rain and benches no less. That is the power of team work outs!

I love that skirt- I have recently bought two stretchy pencils- one bright blue with a leather trim at the top and a black zip running down the middle at the back and then a really deep purple one. BUT! I am still feeling the post christmas 'bump' (perhaps I should take up running too) and so I don't quite feel comfty in them yet.

You look fantastic in yours! x

A florist near my apartment hung the tree in front of their shop with giant dangling red hearts haha, so people (or businesses anyway) are definitely in the Valentines spirit. You are way better than my going at it through the rain. I'd have stomped off sulkily and told them all to shove it probably XD But I'm made of sugar and I'd melt haha...

Siân Singleton said...

Looking fab Lady and I'm so impressed you worked out in the rain!! That's dedication! x

JennaStevie said...

Working out in the pouring rain sounds like hell, good for you for doing it!! That's perseverance for sure.
That heart cup is adorable and definitely something to make you smile for sure. I really love the purple and pink together, the gingham and stripes look so wonderful together!! I like this mix, and your shoes are gorgeous
