Weekends to me always meant freedom for self expression -- time to bask in what life is really about.
FRIYAY
Friday morning was spent downtown meeting with 4 gals from Stitch Fix to see about possible opportunities in the Minneapolis area. Pretty exciting stuff! However, the hardest part about meeting with them was deciding what to wear! As you probably know, -everything- on their website is adorable! How could my clothes live up?!
The meeting was ultra formal so I ended up picking the dress + jacket on the right. Added some gold jewelry to bring out the BOHO side that I always keep near and dear. Light pink shows to complement the navy jacket (sorry, forgot to take a whole body pic!) It actually pulled off pretty well.
Both dresses were found at H&M for under $35. Score!
The rest of the afternoon was spent with my incredible team, The Motivated Mavens. Checking in online to see everyone's meal posts, fitness accountability and much more! I love my job.
Later on Friday evening I was invited to an event called, Flowers in her Hair. It was a networking social event for photographers, local artisans and they even had a little one-woman acoustic set up!
Made new friends and an adorable flower crown!
So fun!! Must remember that theme for upcoming events!
They even had a cotton candy machine - for reals. It was BOHO paradise.
Capped off the night at my husbands gig, LTD Brewery to see family + friends!
That's him on the left ;)
SATURDAY
Was entirely slow moving and belly satisfying. I found a couple Pinterest recipes for Minnesota wild rice soup and decided to take my own spin on it. Subbing out half & half for almond milk and bleached flour for quinoa flour -- saved calories! And...it turned out incredibly good! Hubby approved. Recipe found here // Cleaned Up Minnesota Wild Rice Soup.
Took some time to create this weeks clean eating guide along with grocery shopping list for my Mavens. Excited to see which rockstars will give it all they have over the next 7 Day Clean Eating Challenge! Shall be fun!
SUNDAY
Sunday was this. Perfect perfect. Found out there's a Starbucks 2 miles from our house! Shit! So, hopped on my bike and made my way over there for breakfast and coffee. Gathered as much coffee shop vibes as I could before making the trek back home.
Can we just take a moment to admire how beautiful this new handbag/clutch/macbook purse is? I purchased it at the Flowers in her Hair party and I'm in LOVE!
Besides being the cutest thing on earth -- it was created in Ecuador. I was intrigued and wanted to know more. Here's the the owner told me...
"Lion Heart Girl believes in artisan small batch production, the use of sustainable resources, ethical business practices, and social responsibility. Our consumers can be certain that the consumption of our goods directly supports the artisans and the communities of Ecuador where the goods are being produced"
-- Now that's a company worth supporting! heart emoticon

Really nice that you had a good time! Floral crown is looking wonderful on you. This coming weekend I am planning a friend’s meet up at local venues Chicago and looking for interesting ideas to make party rocking.
