Caramelized

Phew! This is the first time I've sat down to get work done at my computer since early Friday morning. My little weekend break was awesome, and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with both my family and Mike's. Upon arriving home Sunday night I was all of a sudden hit with an insane sickness. Like, I can't even tell you how quickly it came on. By 11pm I was feeling almost dead. I went to bed and woke up feeling even worse Monday morning. I spent from 8:30am to 2pm on the couch, huddled up in blankets with an insane fever, headache, sore throat and inability to walk. Then Mike gave me a handful of medicine, tucked me back in bed and another hour and a half later my fever had broken and I was literally sopping wet. (Gross, right? haha) I had a lot to do yesterday so I tried dragging myself to my office at 5pm but just a handful of emails in and I was dunzo. Back to the couch I went. I don't even know what kind of sickness I had... it was so bizarre. I still feel incredibly cruddy, but loads better than I did. Out of the past 36 hours, I've slept 29 of them. I kept having to remind myself that I was just going to make myself sicker if I didn't just rest and get better. I just hate putting off design work and projects for clients so I try my best to work through it. Here's to hoping it leaves as quickly as it came!

I wore this outfit to Elle + Bryan's wedding reception back last Sunday. I ended up wearing black tights underneath and it was a good thing I did... it was so windy! I love the color blocking on the skirt of this dress. Cream, rust and grey? Perfect! I felt like when paired with a rust cardi, bee brooch and my new Blowfish Tamalas that it was the perfect outfit. I can't even tell you how comfortable these shoes are. My Blowfish wedges are always some of my favorites because you don't even feel like you're wearing them. I love the fun cutouts and overall shape of the shoe. The color, too! 

It's only 11am but it seriously feels like 5 or 6pm here. Not sure why, but even Mike said so. I think just being sick has made me feel run down and pretty much over it. I'm a huge baby when I'm sick though. It's embarrassing haha Luckily it doesn't seem like anything Edy's popsicles, Bob's Burgers on Netflix, and a hefty dose of NyQuil can't fix! Every time I get sickly I'm reminded of how awesome it is to not be sick so I plan on taking full advantage of my health the rest of the week. Sunshine, being outdoors, and getting things done! I'm ready!
