So I've been really, really busy the past week with school and all that, but to my excitement; I was also entrusted to develop a Tumblr for Healthy is the New Skinny! So my time for the past several days has pretty much been devoted to putting together an awesome layout and graphics for it. I can't wait to unveil the final product to all of you when its finished! In other news, my step-dad, who recently applied for some jobs at a few of the Air Force bases across the pond, heard back from the one in Aviano (Italy) and they've basically given him the job. I'm so stoked! We're unsure where everything will go from here, as there's still a lot of negotiations, but its likely the majority of the move won't be happening for another year. So, I have twelve months to decide whether or not I'm going with them or if I want to stay here and possibly move down to LA. Either way, I'm super excited!

Also! It's time to welcome a new round-up of followers! So please say hello to the eclectically stylish miss Froso M. of Style Nirvana, the very inspiring Elspeth Angharad at Glitter and Pearls, and the suuuper chic Jennifer Worman of Red Soles and Red Wine! Thank you so much for following, you fabulous ladies, you! <3

P.S. I added a music widget, an MTB "Jukebox" if you will, so you guys can hear the songs that inspire each of my posts!

(Forever 21 Definition of Beauty tank, GoJane lace maxi skirt layered w/ black spanx)

Over this last weekend, I got a package from my new friends at GoJane.com! They were so kind as to send me this beeeeaaaauuutiful lace maxi skirt and words can't describe how much I love it! The lace is so soft and silky to the touch and it's perfectly sheer. It's wonderful to lounge around in, in this Sacramento weather (like I did today after packing), but I can't wait for the warmer temps and sunnier skies to come back; so I can make full use out of this great new piece of wardrobe! I can see myself wearing this just about anywhere... Especially this Summer over my swimsuit on the beach or a leotard - or (if you're a little shy about your thighs) over spanx too for more modest coverage - while shopping the sunny, outdoor mall downtown. However, I do see myself sporting this one while I'm in LA this weekend!!! Lol!

There are so many great ways to wear this skirt!

GoJane.com is quickly becoming one of my favorite online shopping spots. Their shoes selection is UH-mazing, they have so many to choose from - and all for under $50 - and they have some really great, trendy pieces (that are updated daily) at truly affordable prices. Many of the styles at GoJane.com are some of the same ones you see popping up in other boutiques for much, much more. Take my new lace maxi skirt for example...

The Sheer Lace Maxi Skirt on the left costs $68 at other online boutiques, but at GoJane.com (pictured right) you can get the same gorgeous Sheer Lace Maxi Skirt for $31.70! They also just added a super cute alternative take (without the tiers) to the Sheer Lace Maxi. Talk about great style for less! And this Sheer Lace Maxi style will undoubtedly be a staple in every serious fashionista's arsenal this upcoming Spring/Summer!

Now check out these other Shopping Steals provided by GoJane.com!

The Pleated Maxi Dress on the left will cost you $78, but GoJane.com's perfectly summer-y Accordion Pleat Maxi Dress (pictured right) costs a much more do-able $50.10! (It also comes in a gorgeous Cobalt Blue!) This is the perfect dress for the fashionista on-the-go, it's simple and sexy, yet sophisticated too.

The 'Censored' Maxi Skirt on the left costs $68 as well, but you can get this Sheer Paneled Maxi Skirt style at GoJane.com (pictured right) for only $27.60! A fraction of the cost for this scene-stealing style! I personally prefer the look of GoJane's sheer maxi, as the material isn't so sheer as the competing store, so it leaves a little more to the imagination, all the while still remaining hip and edgy! (Way to be stylish, yet sensible too, GoJane!)

So if you're looking for a way to re-vamp your wardrobe for this upcoming Spring/Summer with some of the newest styles and hottest trends (WITHOUT breaking your bank account) then be sure to check out GoJane.com!
