A couple of weekends ago, I went to visit my darling friend, Andrea, in Lansing! We had a little sleepover, chatted in bed, woke up to go shopping and grab lunch - exactly what we do best! I love staying at her place. It's just so perfect - an urban loft setting with no cat hair. Ugh, I envy that girl. We headed over to Urban Outfitters and I bought a couple of things! We also headed over to Forever 21, where I performed more damage. I actually bought some winter items though instead of spring which is nice because we still have like... 2 more months of harsh winter!
I felt like going casual for a day out shopping. Plus, it has been so cold lately that I'm alway stuck in an oversized cardigan. This one was only $2 thrifted! I really need to head over to Goodwill and do some more thrifting this upcoming weekend. I've been buying so many items for spring.. ugh, I cannot wait. The transitional seasons are the best time to style up outfits!
So, I scored $80 worth of services from our local Douglas J. Aveda institute today for only $40 via Groupon! I was so excited. I'm going to save it until I get down to my half way weight loss goal - which is really only 5 pounds away. As soon as I get there, I'm going to treat myself to an elemental nature facial, haircut and style and brow wax. I've never had a facial before and they give you all sorts of massages to go along with it. It's definitely making me work harder at getting to my goal!

you look so fab! looove those boots. wedges are on my wish list right now!
The last photo is my favorite! You two are too cute. Shopping with girlfriends is truly more fun than by yourself. It's great to have someone around to make sure stuff fits right and look good:)
Late night chats with great friends... sounds like a great song. I think that this band, Circle Maybe (maybe you've heard of them?) should write a song about it. :)
That second photo of you is SO gorgeous! Andrea is so good at taking pictures, I always love it when you go visit her because I know you two will have amazing shots of it afterwards. I cant wait to see all of your new buys! These shoes that you are wearing in this post are so you! I love them. Same with that cardigan. You look so lovely and beautiful Tieka!! xo
sounds like a perfect day! These pictures are so beautiful! Love the boots :)

You look so hip and I love your outfit...love this post it was a great read. I read your post about weight loss and I am on my way as I have reached that mind set that you need to stick with it....loving your blog.Dawn Suitcase Vignettes XX
Your hair is so pretty with its curls and wisps! I'm glad to see you had a fun time with Andrea! I'm looking forward to seeing all of your Spring purchases. I'm SO ready for Spring to come!! All I keep thinking about is florals and lace!
I lovey this look Tieka. It's different from your usual combo and it looks gorg on you. I love that you scored that cozy cardigan for $2.00, amazing; and those shoes, those shoes ...so beautiful.
Love those lace ups! Andrea took such wonderful photos of you. Looking good! Glad you girls had such a great time together.
Clearly the last one is my favorite. :)
Lookin' good! I love this casual look on you. Oooh Aveda groupon coupon! Scoore. You will just love the facial, and then you'll be addicted.

Love the photos, you're gorgeous !
Actually, I'm in England near Coventry for the moment but haven't seen any F21 or UO yet, that's a shame I wanted to go there...

Kudos to you for trucking around shopping in those shoes! I always limit myself to flats because I'm super un-adventurous...
That cardigan is fantastic.

Such a cute casual look! I really love the boots on you!! Glad you guys had fun - I can only imagine what a fun pair the two of you would be together! So cute.
super cute boots! and love the hair
Shorts & tights can be a hard combo to pull off, but you did it. Love this look!
That outfit is the same outfit I wear on casual days! I love shorts over tights and wear them even in the brutal single digit temps we've seen out here in PA! You look beautiful as always : )
i love all your photos! full of emotions and of course i love your shoes too!!! :-)

You are in for a treat because facials are the bomb. I can't believe I just said "the bomb."
I love the grandpa cardigan and those boots are to die for.
OMG those shoes are just perfect! And I love your hair. :) Did you have the ends dyed, or did you just grow out your natural color?
Love the sweater!

The black tights set off those boots so well. Hot to Trot!
I love this casual outfit - especially the boots! That cardigan was an amazing find, and how incredible does your hair look lately (especially in that second photo!)
Yay for lots of spring shopping! I've been doing Autumn and winter shopping, hehe :)

So cute! The black top you're wearing reminds me of my mom for some reason. I think she wore something like that when I was a kid, but obviously you've styled it so much better than she did hehe :) I adore your casual outfits because they're still so chic! That green cardigan was such a wonderful find and for $2?! Ah! You and Andrea are so cute hehe!
Wow! I love your cardigan x
Love, love, love this outfit! Could see myself wearing it :) You look great!

I really like the darker tones in this outfit contrasted with the tan boots, which are gorgeous by the way. Love the last picture of the pair of you! I've never had a facial either, you'll have to tell us what it's like.
Those boots are fantastic! I think that rewarding yourself with a day at the spa is such awesome incentive for reaching your goal. I've had two facials, and I was really surprised at how they went. I wish someone had told me beforehand, but it's not all soothing music and warm lotion! At one point, they will literally dig their fingers into your face to clear your pores out. It's good to get done, but man can it hurt! Don't worry though--it's worth it. Good luck!
looks like you guys had an amazing day :D
and I can't believe that cardigan was only $2.. what a steal (:
You're making me miss Old Town! Lansing is such a great city. I lived there for 5 years.
ahh sounds like a perfect day with a friend!!
LOVE this outfit! You look amazing!

Haha, love the last photo. & Groupon is a saviour! I keep on missing all the best deals though, the one day I went computer free was the day I missed a £50 American Apparel voucher for £25. How that would've helped me! Sod's law, that is. I love this outfit though, girl. That cardigan is such a thrift goldmine find! & I'm in love with those boots, still. If evereverEVER you want to get rid of them, you know where I am ;]
you look gorgeous!
you look awesome with shorts.
you always manage to look so cute :) hehe, great cardigan!

I love sleepovers with great friends. That last picture of the two of you is so cute! And I love this chic relaxed look. The cardigan is so lovely and cozy looking. And I adore the color.
How I wish I could hang out with all my close friends too, unfortunately that'll have to wait till all my projects at work are done. I'm totally loving your bangs and shoes ! Btw,good luck on your weight loss goal. You are very determined so I know you can get that weight you've been wanting in no time.
