I was reading my latest InStyle that arrived yesterday and found out that Liberty of London is coming to Target!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the designer Target collaborations but I think I am most excited about this one. Now, I particularly love the fabrics from Liberty of London and I realize that Target is not going to start selling bolts of fabric, but still. Some of the preview items featured in the magazine were really cute.
D-Day is March 14.

Kate Spade
I have long been a fan of Kate Spade. Her new looks have me drooling, especially this polka dot dress.
Actually, I love the whole "new collection".

Another Incident at Local YMCA
The people at my gym probably just wait to see what will happen next with me. First, there was the treadmill incident.
Then today i had another doozy.
Nate & I went to workout late this afternoon. Generally, I wear my running shorts and tank top and then put a pair of sweats over the top of my shorts and wear a long sleeve. We also try to get one of the small lockers right by the gym area (where all the machines are) so that we can throw our warm clothes in there and get going. So, I go and get my 35 minute run in and head over to the locker bank when I am finished.
For whatever reason, I forgot where I was and instead of putting my sweats on over my shorts, I started taking my shorts off! My shorts were down by my ankles before I realized that I was standing in the middle of my gym in nude colored granny panties! To make matters worse, I sort of had a wedgie too.
I YANKED up my shorts and started cracking up. One guy for sure saw me and just smiled at me. I then put my sweats on OVER my shorts and ran out the door.
Seriously. that is 2 strikes...I'm just waiting to see what Dumbass move #3 will be!

Birthday Month Freebies
So yes, it is my birthday month. I love my birthday. Always have, probably always will. I haven't had the "rough birthday" yet where you really aren't looking forward to turning x age.
One of my favorite things about birthday month is all the coupons and freebies I get in the mail. I usually get a free lotion or body wash from aveda and a customizable room spray from them as well as I am an Aveda Pure Privelege member. Sephora Beauty Insiders get a free gift during the month of their birthday. This year it is an eyeliner, eyeshadow and mascara kit. Banana Republic usually sends a $15 gift card, I got $10 from Victoria's Secret, and 15% off at Anthropologie. BTW, it is worth signing up for the Anthropologie one just for the packaging alone. It is one of my favorite things to get!
These are all that I received so far. I never remember how many mailing lists I am on, so it's always a fun surprise to get the mail!

The Situation
No, I'm not referring to that nasty man on Jersey Shore.
Over the weekend we began to shop for carpet for our basement. Our final appointment was last night and we ordered some! They are coming to measure tomorrow.
The carpet is low-pile and a basic light tan color. That is all I remember about it. Seriously, I had no idea how much goes into carpet and to be honest I didn't really care. ANYTHING would be an improvement from the gross stuff we had there to begin with. We didn't splurge since this is our basement afterall, but it will be nice to fix that area of the house up.
I'm not sure if you can tell by the various ManCave pictures, but the previous owners left us a lot of junk including a few old shelves, an avocado green fridge, a bar that more resembles a spaceship, wood paneling and a gross dropped ceiling. Our next plan is to add some dry wall in there to get rid of the ceiling. Now I have to figure out where you take old refrigerators!

Seltzer Water Maker
Not only am I addicted to The Wire, I am also addicted to sparkling water. However, sparkling water is wasteful given that you have to buy it in plastic bottles or cans. I am thinking about getting a seltzer water maker, but do not know too much about them. Does anyone have one of these? If so, which brand and would you recommend it?
