More bikinis!

Since I decided I needed a whole summer's worth of bikinis I have ordered another j. crew underwire french top in island aqua and the madras bikini in the bottle blue color. I am obsessing over the madras print but I ordered the top in xxs which is a little bit tiny, and the bottom in xs which is kind diaperish. The fabric is not traditional bikini fabric so any extra room in the caboose gets this diaper effect. Problem is, no xxs bottoms are available!

I discussed my love of this underwire top here. It is so flattering! And the island aqua color is to die for :) happy swimwear shopping!

Mistakes?

Pardonez moi for the lack of posts of late. Meg's Big Move has had a LOT to think about lately about the whole 'move' thing. Big girl decisions are not easy, but I believe trusting your gut is the most important thing in the world.

When the going gets tough there is nothing better than your girlfriends. The past 2 days have been a whirlwind for me and I would not have been able to make it through it without my family and my girlfriends (and Robert even though he is too far away). A few years back I was in Texas due to a medical issue and my cousin's gorgeous wife gave me a little gift to make me feel better. She called it a "happy". As trivial as shoes and clothes may be to some people, sometimes they just make you happy, and sometimes thats just what you need. Here are a few "happys" that would be nice now.

And on a simpler happy note, here is a quote from sex and the city that is making today and yesterday a little bit more bearable:

“Maybe mistakes are what make our fate... without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart... and if you're very lucky, a plane ride away”

Thoughts on Fitness and Bikinis

I am usually the girl that can think of a bajillion and one better things to do than work out. Sometimes, however, I get myself in these little spurts where I am all about working out and being healthy. Last time I did this, I became a member at a super posh gym (located in a mall---major damage to my finances) and was taking Dolphin cheerleader workouts at 9:oo am on Saturday mornings. This last time was a longgggggggggggg time ago. Now I am back on track and am loving this app called "Couch to 5k". It is supposed to get someone like me (extremely out of shape but lucky to have a fast metabolism) in shape gradually. I highly recommend it because it literally tells you what to do. A woman gets on and screams "RUN NOW" or "WALK NOW" and I happily oblige as I listen to Katy Perry and watch reruns of Real Housewives. It consists of 3 cardio workouts a week that get harder each time until it has you running a full 5k. I have been cheating a little and not been taking the suggested recovery breaks in an effort to get my body in shape quicker. Overall, I love how I feel after I work out and I am hoping to make this a part of my lifestyle instead of just a little 'spurt' :)

Now on to bikinis...

Soon Muffin and I are going on a little beach vacay which means it's time for Megan to get some new bikinis. I was on the hunt for a bikini that would make me feel 100% comfortable on the beach so that I did not feel the need to cover myself up half the time, and the answer of my prayers is the J.Crew bikini you see above. I am in LOVE. This past weekend, I went to a local boutique and tried on the most gorgeous bikini but it was $200.00, which is nonsense for me right now b/c of the big move.

Has anyone bought a bikini they love recently?

Weekend Recap

This weekend was nice and relaxing and somewhat productive, just the way I like it. I worked out Friday night (and did squats the right way, finally-apparently I have been doing them wrong for the past 8 years), went shopping Saturday (bought the Pucci scarf above-would NOT wear it like the model is), saw Midnight in Paris Saturday night, and PACKED on Sunday.

Packing was kind of sad, not going to lie. I was bubble wrapping things that I had been buying for 'my future apartment' even when I had no future apartment. Also little nick nacks that have been in my room forever...All of my Louboutin's...so help me God if that box gets lost in transit I will need to go to a mental hospital for a while.

I also bought the sheets for my new apt. I went with Pottery Barn's Pearl Embroidered collection in Sage and got the duvet cover monogrammed... I like the fullness of the bed skirt.

Hope you lovelies had a great weekend! Any purchases? If so, please share!
