{31 Blogging Days of May} + Dashes & Dots

One simple question, "What are you coveting this spring?"
Instructions to destruct. I want EVERYTHING, Kyla! She says to dream big, so my first item is HUGE!

Here are just a few things:

{Bike}

{AP Stylebook}

{Pittsburgh Popcorn}

{Shoes}

Modcloth's All Things Sweet Heel

What are some wishes you have this spring?

In other news, it's time for me to go to the Cinco de Mayo/Derby Party, and finally have some of that Mexican Chocolate Poundcake. Yes! ...And, I need to carb up for the Half Marathon tomorrow! Ahh! It's finally here! Hopefully, I'll survive to blog another day.

Dashes and Dots: March

I'd be a little late on getting this post out if it were a February post, but I've been working full-time {and completely forgot!}...so, this will be my March Dashes and Dots post! Forgive me!


{1.} Atelier Glass Studio has so many lovely items I am lusting after! I'd like to revisit their store soon to outfit the house with glass creations.

{2.} I'm a big fan of "local" art, and I'd love to hang this on my wall:

{Are we friends on Pinterest? If not, we should be!}

{3.} Much later this year, Husband and I are planning to make a trip to Seven Springs with some friends! Since this year's "winter" hasn't been much to speak of, we'll try again later this year. It seems like a incredibly fun place. Bring on the spiked hot cocoa and snowboard lessons!

{4.} I still need to have a celebratory dinner at Meat and Potatoes, and STAT!

{5.} Guess what! {A Dash of Spectacular} is now a RANKED BLOG on UrbanSpoon for Pittsburgh. Check me out!

{6.} Thanks to my fabulous Husband, I've booked two De-Knotting Neck & Back massages with this spa in Sewickley! I can't wait for our appointment!

{7.} I'm wishing I had these shoes to begin spring in PGH...but I need these shoes more! The Pittsburgh Half Marathon is less than 2 months away! Eek!

In other news, I've finished my first week at my new job! Since it's with a University, I have today off in honor of their Spring Holiday. The perks have already started!

Also, good luck and best wishes to the Texas Style Council  {TxSC} this weekend! 

Dashes and Dots: January

{Dashes & Dots}
I'm starting a new segment to my blog called {Dashes and Dots}, featuring a smattering of interesting things I see around the web. Anything from food to clothing to events will be found here each month. Let me know what you think!

{1.}  I came across these fabulous food blogs, and they're even from the Pittsburgh area!
{2.}  This tour looks like fun! I smell {and taste!} a date night!
{3.}  Husband and I are going with a new friend-couple here for dinner next Thursday. I'm planning to order waaaay too much.
{4.}  The cut-out sections of this dress are so beautiful! Would be perfect for layering.
{5.}  We just bought this for seating in the office, but we still need a pillow for it. Maybe this one?
{6.}  I'm hoping to go here for my birthday dinner!
{7.}  As a birthday gift, Husband and I signed up for this Half Marathon! Training starts February 1st!


Enjoy your day!
