Loving Lately: Riding Boots

There's no mystery as to why I love riding boots. I haven't just been loving them lately, I've been loving them since I was a child.
At age 8, I started riding horses. I think I liked the outfits more than the riding. I loved horses, but really loved putting on my boots, riding pants, and helmet.
Fast forward a couple decades later and I'm so glad riding boots are in style. Here are some of my favorites!

I actually ordered those Unisa boots from DSW and they should be arriving this week! I've never heard of this brand, and would usually try on boots in the store... but with the holidays and new job, online shopping sounded so much more appealing.

Do you have a favorite boot? I want to know!

Loving Lately: Greek Yogurt

I have a secret love that I thought I'd finally talk about.

Greek Yogurt.

Yep.

I tried it a few years ago and yuck. It tasted so bitter and way too creamy. I don't know if there are just more varieties lately, or if my taste buds have adapted to like it, but I can hardly imagine life without it.

My most recent Greek Yogurt find was Healthy Choice's Greek Frozen Yogurt, found in the frozen food aisle. 

Also, I'm obsessed with anything blueberry, but that's for a different post.

Each cup has a little inspirational note. Cute!

Greek Yogurt is full of protein and super filling.

It can also be used in cooking as a substitute for heavy cream {well, just use the plain flavor for this. Not blueberry. Obviously.}

We also like making tzatziki {really yummy Greek cucumber yogurt dip} and eating it with pita. Yum!

Just be careful and look at the nutrition facts... some varieties aren't low-calorie. My favorite low-cal variety is Dannon Oikos, Fruit on the Bottom (Fat Free)

I'm all about eating healthy food that tastes good and is filling.

Greek yogurt is totally all of those things!

If you haven't tried it, go ahead! If you have tried it but didn't like it, try another variety. You might just like it!

Does anyone else love Greek yogurt? Hate it? Have any great recipes that use it?

So, that's what I'm loving lately :)

Loving Lately: Blazers

If you've been around here before, you probably know that I loooove my blazers. 

(If you haven't been here before, then Welcome!)

I'm especially obsessed with this Navy blazer that I've worn as much as possible over the past month. Yeah, I have other blazers, sweaters, shirts, but I love this one the most. It's popped here up a couple times recently...

It's only $25 from Kohl's! I'm going back to get more colors!

You can find it here

Here are some other lovely blazers I'm lusting over...

H&M, $39.95

so many colors to choose from!

H&M, $49.95

This one has no collar which changes the style a bit but is even more chic in my opinion

The picture on this one won't show, but it's lace. And it's love.

So is this striped one. Both from Express.

So if I end up with a million blazers in my closet, the only one complaining will be Chris because we won't be able to buy groceries. At least I'll have a closet full of blazers that will never go out of style. Love love love them (is that obvious yet?)

Loving Lately ~ Jewel Tones

I'm joining Loving Lately this week!

With fall coming, I'm totally loving the jewel tones.

Purple, magenta, green, dark blue, I love it all.
Here are a few of my favorite pieces...

Darker jewel tones aren't too overwhelming so you can wear a couple colors together if you'd like, or pair with black/neutral pieces for a professional look. I'm all about layering (especially during the fall) so I love versatile pieces that I can wear with different outfits depending on the occasion.
