Weekly Favorites

- Coming home to a shipment of clothes from Forever21 on a nasty rainy day -

 

- Going to West Point, Ms. Wednesday night for an amazing date night meal at Anthony's Good Food Market with Jay, more to come about that night next week-

 

- Running the T.K. Martin Center Fun Run Saturday morning. I am really looking forward to this run because it is for a wonderful cause. -

 

- Heading home after Jay and I finish up at the T.K. Martin Fun Run. Once, we get home it will be time for lunch and we are going to Local 463 because someone told me last week that they have the best veggie burger and I haven't stopped wanting it since then. Hopefully, it is as wonderful as they said. -

 

- Watching the adorable and funny dog video -

 

- Wanting a pair or two of these LuluLemon running shorts (here) -

 

- Loving this pair of short suede booties in the color nut. They would be perfect with a pair of skinny jeans (ShopBop) -

 

- Been enjoying the cooler weather this week. I am so excited that the weather is starting to become more fall like! -

 

 

I would love the hear what some of your weekly favorites have been! Have a fabulous weekend!

New Orleans Recap

- Saints Pre-season against the Kansas City Chiefs Friday night was wonderful. We didn't play that great but we were also using or second and third string. I cannot wait until the first game of this season against our rivals the Atlanta Falcons in the Superdome -

 - Obsessed with this man's hat! Superbowl ring baby!- 

- Saturday consisted of a little shopping at the Shops at Canal Place, NOLA Motorsports Park, the "Red Dress Run", and Café Du Monde -

 - Gorgeous dress from my favorite designer BCBG Max Azria. Unfortunately, it was a little out of my budget for the weekend (sorry for the dressing room selfie but I had too) -

 - Lululemon quote outside their store in Canal Place -

 - Wine and a movie sounds amazing to me. The updated theatre in Canal Place will allow you to do just that -

 - NOLA Motorsports Park where the Go-Karts go up to 50mph. Of course this was Jay's idea but it was actually very fun -

 - "Red Dress Run" this is a 2 mile run but it is really more a pub/bar crawl. Jay and I did not make it in time to register but we still dressed up and enjoyed walking around seeing everyone else in their "Red Dress Run" attire -

 - Café Du Monde Beignets for dessert -

- Sunday we went to Sucre, brunch on Magazine Street, and toured the Garden District before we headed home -

 

 - Sucre for French Macaroons and a Chocolate Éclair both of which were to die for. I would recommend visiting here to anyone making a trip to New Orleans -

 - Brunch with Mimosas and Bloody Mary's don't mind if I do at Ignatius Eatery on Magazine Street -

Workout Wednesday

For those of you that do not know already know I am Pilate's Instructor. Since, I have been teaching for almost two years now, that means that my wardrobe for work consists of lots of different workout clothes. I often get asked where I get most of them from so I decided that I would answer this question on here. For chic fitness clothes that won't break the bank the best places to shop are Target, Old Navy, JC Penney, and Forever21. The medium priced range would be Zella at Nordstrom, Gap, and Athleta. As far as a place that will cost you a pretty penny its name is Lululemon. While it may be a little expensive it has amazing clothes that will last after years of wear and tear. Now that you know all my little stops for fitness clothes feel free to let me know if you have any others that I did not mention here.

Lots of Love,  Natalie
