Bikini Scores

One good thing about summer coming to an end?

SALES.  

Especially on bikinis!  

With Orange County perpetually being in the midst swimsuit season, now is the perfect time to score on super cute kinis that would normally be uber expensive.

Last weekend I went to my local swimwear shop thinking I would score some sale items, but everything was pretty picked over & of course the cute suits weren't on sale (just my luck). 

BUT, being the super savvy online shopper that I am, I snapped a couple pictures of the suit tags that I liked & went home & Googled my heart out.

Guess what!?  

Online BOTH (I may or may not have ended up purchasing more than two) suits I had fallen madly in love with were 1/2 off!!  :)

I thought I would share in hopes that some of you could celebrate in end of summer swimsuit sales, too!

Getting Ready for Fall

 

These Frye "Mellissa" boots are next on my large purchase list.  Boots, in my opinion, are definitively worth the investment.  You can wear them forever & can really tell the difference in the look & feel of lesser quality boots.  

some outfits I'm already planning... 

Song of Style wears this Keepsake dress so well!  I ordered it for some engagement shots we're doing next month & think it would be super cute with these boots to dress it down!!  Available at FashionBunker.com.

I lived in this Massimo flannel last winter & no doubt will be wearing it to death again this fall!  Target.com.

Of course I cannot live without my Lulelemon cropped wonder unders.  Nobody has to know they're workout pants, right? Sold at Lululemon.com.

  

Add GLUTEN to the List!

Truth be told... I'm a picky eater. 

{wince}

That's not something that I readily admit.

At the age of 12, I decided that I no longer wanted to eat beef or pork.

I never looked back & haven't missed red meat.

At around 20, I decided that I wanted to stay away from milk & egg products, too.  

I switched to goat yogurt, almond milk, brown rice protein powder, applesauce when baking, etc.

I try not to sweat it when out in public, because I don't want to be "that person" (I'll have a bite of that yummy dessert or have a bread roll with butter) but truth be told your body gets used to eating a certain way, so now when I eat ice cream or butter my tummy does not like it at all. 

Lately, my tummy hasn't been very happy.  Sharp pains to be exact.  

Problem is, I haven't been consuming any lactose products or beef or pork. 

After scrutinizing my diet, I've realized that my stomach only hurts when I consume products with gluten (that tortilla at the mexican restaurant, the pasta salad at the bbq, when I had a bran muffin for breakfast).

Great.  

Sooo join me on my experiment where I try to lead a gluten free life & see what kind of results I achieve!  I plan on going to a nutritonist soon, but am going to cut out gluten until I see the doctor in the hopes of feeling better FAST.

I'll keep you all updated & please let me know if you have any advice or insight!
