Healthy Habits {101 in 1001}

Today I'm sharing a few more of the goals from my 101 in 1001 list. For people who have asked to see the entire list at once, I decided at the beginning to share the list over time a) because it's so long and b) because it's fun to share both goals and progress! Some goals are professional in nature, others financial, others pure fun. The goals I'm sharing today have to do with health and fitness — admittedly not my forté.

19. Drink eight glasses of water a day every day for one week. This is probably easy and mindless for some of you but to me it feels insurmountable. So. Much. Water!

33. Hire a personal trainer.

42. Take a self-defense class.

Fall Back on Black

On days when wardrobe inspiration escapes me (as it does many mornings now that I'm waking up earlier and getting dressed while I'm still half asleep), I find that there's no better fix than basic black on black. Here are a few pieces that have wound up in my Shopbop hearts of late...

{Rachel Zoe blouse, $295}

{BB Dakota blazer, $115}

I love the plunging pussybow blouse but it's the leather collar on the blazer that has my heart skipping a beat. That kind of detail for just $115? I think I know where my next paycheck is going!

{David Lerner skirt, $132}

{Elkin skirt, $300}

Tulip hem or maxi length? Take your pick!

{Club Monaco clutch, $149}

{Theyskens' Theory pumps, $325}

I'm kind of obsessed with this envelope clutch and gorgeous platform heel. They'd make even a t-shirt and jeans insanely chic!

{Susana Monaco, $248}

But of course I saved the best for last. You know I love a backless dress!

What's your go-to when getting dressed? I'd love to hear your tricks for dressing quickly and stylishly!

Three Things

1. Loose waves, navy blazer, sequined clutch, tortoiseshell watch... I want it all.

2. Slowly and steadily building up my file of apartment inspiration. Don't you love the look of worn in leather? 

3. Bows belong on everything.

In other news, I spent the weekend at a cabin in the Poconos with friends from college and had the best time catching up with everyone. I love my friends. I might be playing catch-up on blogging, email, sleep, etc., but sometimes it's just nice to get away and unplug for a few days. How was your weekend?
