Stranded with....Footwear Edition

Today I am linking up with Mix and Match Mama (Shay) and A Little Bit of Everything (Erika) for Stranded!



Today's edition is What 3 pieces of footwear would you take if you were Stranded on a Deserted Island?


1) Tory Burch flip flops
I feel like if I am going to be on an island I need to have a pair of flip flops with me for all those days I am going to wearing my swimsuit and laying out on the beach. I love this particular color of the Tory sandals because the color goes with everything.



2) Running-Walking shoes
I would want to get in some workouts right? I love my Saucony running shoes because they fit my narrow foot. I have run half marathons in them and they always fit right and get me through great cardio and resistance training sessions.



3) Hunter-Wellies
I figure there may be some rainy and cold days on the island. For these days I am going to want my Hunter boots. These would be great for fishing also to catch the food I will need to eat right?! I currently have Navy Hunter boots but am thinking about a red pair for this Fall-Winter. I don't wear my navy often because I wear so much blue anyways.

I'm linking up with Andrea for her series...Show and Tell Tuesday. Today's topic is school photos. I don't really have any school photos as they are all at home in Killeen with my parents. However, my best guy friend from high school the other day was cleaning out stuff at his parents and found this picture from high school. Talk about a flashback. Why did I think bright red lips with no eye makeup was ok. I look like a ghost lol!

I have been loving watching the Olympics this week. I particularly enjoyed watching Men's diving last night and loved that Stelle Johnson said this!

“Yeah, I’m Steele Johnson the Olympian, but at the same time I’m here to love and serve Christ. My identity is rooted in Christ.”

Laced up and all ready to go... 


After my morning run....3 miles for my 30th birthday!


Then, it was timed to get showered and ready for the day.


Headed to lunch at a local Greek restaurant with family and friends! #yummy #greek





Before dinner we took some pictures in my parent's backyard...this is an annual tradition we have been doing for 10 years.







Calling it a night! It was a truly wonderful 30th birthday and I was with the one's I love most!

Today I am joining Erica, Narci and Andrea for Friday Favorites!

1) Today I am 30...how is that possible?! Here are some pictures from past birthday celebrations!


2) I have been enjoying a wonderful weekend in TX with my family!

Who doesn't love Chip and Joanna Gaines. I am sure many of you have seen their popular TV show Fixer Upper!


They both are Baylor graduates and live about an hour away near Waco, TX. I went to their original store on Bosque Avenue years ago and recently have visited just the silos. I went Black Friday...talk about insane.

Now they have a home line, bakery, and garden section. I am excited to head there today with my mom and get some yummy cupcakes and explore all the new changes at the SILOS. I know there will be lots of pictures to come.

I am so excited to visit Harp and Co. Spice shops, and Roots. If you are looking to plan a day trip to Waco...I would love to tell you more about what to do, where to eat, what to see, etc.



I personally love Vitek's (bbq) you have to get the Gut Pack and George's. At George's they are known for their chicken fried steak and Big 0 (a beer).

Yesterday (Tuesday) my mom, Aunt and I went to the annual Margarita Sale at Julian Gold in Austin, TX. This is something we look forward to yearly. They serve you margaritas while you shop! #Mexican #oleole

I got 2 really cute tops one Vince and one Hale Bob one of my favorite resort wear brands!

We ran into several of my Mom's friends also shopping the sale which was sooo much fun!

Next, we went to Barton Creek Mall and went to Nordstorm...hello anniversary sale! #nsale

I love love love the Zella athletic brand and it only goes on sale during their annual anniversary sale. I got this super cute sweater for when it cools down.

I have been looking for a plaid top for a while...so I got this one and can't wait to wear with skinny jeans and booties when it gets cooler. Come on FALL!

I also got some new bras...I think I have had my current ones about 5 years! #wow After seeing Bad Mom's this weekend all I could think was uh please no MOM bra lol!

Next, we headed to my favorite place to shop in Austin the Domain! They have lots of yummy restaurants, and great shopping! Neiman Marcus, Vineyard Vines, JCrew, Lilly Pulitzer, Tory Burch and Kendra Scott just to name a few.

We ate lunch at the yummy North! They have great salads, pizza and Italian pastas. I love their Zuppa chips also for an appetizer and light snack.


Then we went shopping!!! I went into Lilly, because a girl has to have a new Lilly dress for her 30th birthday right?!?! Which one did I choose? Check back this weekend for an update.
