Friday Five . . . A Day Late

1. Saturday marks St. Patrick's Day. Guess I ought to make up a loaf of Irish Soda Bread!

2. This past week I took my first Body Pump class at my gym. I've been looking for a way to add a weight routine to my weekly workouts, and I think this might be the winner. (I really should hit up the weight machines in my gym, but I'm just too intimidated.) Body Pump is an hour long class that uses weighted barbells for a full-body workout. The reps are performed to various tracks of music, and the workout is definitely intense. A few days later, and I'm still a little sore! Gotta love that.

3. I could use a beach vacation. Like, really use a beach vacation.

4. I'm totally late to the game, but I'm obsessed with red jeans at the moment. Brightly-colored jeans are still hot for the spring season, so I may have to pick up a pair or two. Fingers crossed I look as chic as the models do.

5. Speaking of chic, I've been on the lookout for a striped t-shirt for a long time now. I'm officially in love with the black and white striped shirt I bought from the Gap (similar to the one above). I think I might need to get the grey and black version too. Paired with skinny jeans and ballet flats, all I need is a baguette in my bag, and I think my French transformation would be complete.
