Hi! So sorry for the absence but I've been up to no good these past two weeks. Ha, no, but really; I've been having a blast and have been so grateful for what has come my way. I am learning to play the "yes" game. Where I just agree to do things with people that I love and live my life. It has been one heck of ride and I couldn't be more excited for what's to come!

I am also excited to continue the link up this week with Lulu over at Simply Lulu Style!

So, what am I loving? Well, where shall me start? Oh yes, I had friends visit from the west coast of Florida. We drank lots of margaritas and did a lot of salsa dancing. Are you a salt or sugar rimmed glass kinda person? I just love sugar. #Noshameinmygame
What I'm loving most of all is that I decided to fly to Atlanta on a whim to visit my bestest friend in the entire world. THEN we made this crazy decision to attend a music festival called TomorrowWorld. Crazy I tell you. Absolute insane fun was had. We did a lot of talking, laughing, walking, dancing, drinking and shopping. I already miss her.

We spent the last day together enjoying multiple cups of coffee and talking about our futures. Do we see another trip to Atlanta in the near future? Absolutely. Let's just say it's in the works.
What's up next? Well it's officially October so I am ready for fall festivals, caramel apples, pumpkin patches and hayrides. Happy Fall y'all! Oh and more country concerts, of course.

Long long time, no talk loves. I let my life be consumed for the past two months. As a mid-twenties, hard working gal, it is very easy to let someone sweep you off of your feet and spin you in a whirlwind of emotions and that, my friends, is exactly what happened. I let the idea of love amuse me, consume me and teach me. A good lesson at that and I am beyond grateful for my loving family and friends during times like this. Things end. People change. It sucks.

And with that, I am excited to pick back up doing the things that I love and that make me happy. One of which is country music. Can I get an amen..


So first things first, it's very important that I tell you all that I am over the moon excited about seeing two pretty cute fellows next weekend, Blake Shelton and Easton Corbin. Oh my, how my heart flutters with excitement about Easton. I first got the joy of seeing him last February at my little county fair and that man is just gorgeous, y'all. I am BEYOND excited. Where is my country loving, sweet family man? #SingleProblems

Anyways what is more important than seeing all of them in concert? My outfit. Duh. Ha!

And with that, I am happy to announce that I have purchased my second pair of boots! I know shame on me to only own two pairs. Only this time, they will match EVERYTHING! To say I am excited is an understatement. While I was at it, I also took it upon myself to purchase a few more things like, shorts, tees, shoes, scarfs, jewelry, sunglasses, you name it. #SorryImNotSorry Find the boots here.
So this weekend I will be creating a little concert inspiration around these boots! Look forward to that next week.

Also, just because I think some of us all need a reminder here and there.

Maybe some girls are not meant to be tamed. Maybe they are supposed to run wild until they find someone, just as wind, to run with. 

Run loves. Run.

Happy Tuesday! I am loving this Trend Spin Linkup each week with Walking in Memphis in High Heels and The Fashion Canvas . Today's theme is chambray!  

Ever feel like you give too much? And receive too little? Lately, that's how I am feeling around these parts. It's really hard to get a handle on life sometimes and I think it slips between our fingers. I am beginning to learn how much I can truly take on and I know that we are only given as much as we can take but there are days where it just feels like it's too much. I plan to start reminding myself that life does go on and good things will happen to good people in time. So patience is obviously a big part in life. Sometimes we just need a little reminder. It was nice to get away last weekend even if it was just for work. I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things and for the long weekend ahead which includes lots of time at the beach! Oh and a little me time with a hair appointment, pedicure, manicure and some shopping. It's the little things that make me happy..haha!

Also.. I decided to take the plunge and purchase a new curling iron. I love my wand but sometimes it is just too difficult to hold. Anyone use the Chi curling iron? I got it at a MAJOR steal at Target using coupon codes, gift cards and my red card! And I even purchased the 2 year warranty and still managed to only spend $9. Woo hoo! I will do a little review on it once I receive it next week. 

Why the name -- Hightailing in High Heels?

Well, are you always on the go? Always worrying about something? Appointments here? Lunch meetings there? Pick up this by then? Etc. Always spreading yourself so thin during the week that by Friday you wonder if you'll have energy to do anything for the weekend. Well yes that is me too.

I want this blog to be an outlet, something that I can look back and say yes I did that and I'm learning to do it better. Or yes I should of done that and I am going to take a shot at it trying again. Life is about choices. I want to experience life everyday and not get so caught up in everything that I don't truly enjoy it.

Yes we all work hard for a living but take remember to take the 5 minute break, eat a candy bar, say the bad word and then move on. There are so many precious things that we should be happy for!

Life is too short and we often lose sight of what is important so I want to make sure that while I am hightailing it everywhere, that I take a minute here and there to take it all in. I want to absorb the beauty of all that is around me and truly be grateful.

So let me leave you with a great quote that I have heard recently. I apologize that I do not know who originally said it but it is the truth.
