Spring Dreaming
Hey friends 
How’s your day been? Hope you’re having a faboo Friday.
I started off my morning with a beautiful breakfast:
Green juice +
I added some raw cacao powder to the mix, topped with blackberries and didn’t even need syrup. So crazygood.
The original plan was to hit an early yoga class before work, but my bed felt too glorious and comfy – little Bell wasn’t ready to wake up either 
My body is in some serious need of stretching, so I plan to catch some yoga this weekend.
Instead, I had a relaxing morning and packed up a fun lunch:
Stuffed avocado!
First, I mixed up chopped avocado with chickpeas, grape tomatoes, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, sea salt and pepper
And placed the mixture into the avocado skins:
Cute!!
I packed the sliced veggies to dip with work community hummus (We have a Costco-sized container of hummus, fruit, bars, dried fruit, chocolate, and TJs almond butter to snack on at work)
+ protein smoothie from Xoom juice and a local orange
Spring Wardrobe-ing
Around this time of year (right before spring), I start to get rid of clothes I’ll no longer wear (sell the designer stuff and donate the rest), and start to plan spring/summer essentials. I think it’s fun to get things in installments to avoid monster purchases at one time, and it’s a good way to stay within our budget.
Some things I’ll be stocking up on for spring:
1. Wedges (to wear with crops and sundresses)
2. Structured sandals (for more casual days and shorts)
3. Lace dress
5. Jean shorts
(I will NOT be buying this Lanvin one. But it’s fun to dream, eh?)
8. Colorful summery tops and tanks
What’s on your radar for spring?? Feel free to link it up in the comments section- it’s fun to help each other shop!
I’m off to teach 
See ya laterrrr <3
xoxo
Gina

actually thinking of doing a one dress challenge….one uber versatile dress accessorized infinite ways for a certain amount of days. some have gone a whole year….i think i’d just do the warmer months though 🙂
Long dresses!!
I am so excited to go back to wearing short sleeve shirts and skirts to work and being able to wear my sandals!
I love the avocado cups – how adorable and what a good idea to serve them in — you could use the cups to hold guac and have raw veggies and chips surrounding it.
Cotton dresses with cute cardigans and strappy sandals. 🙂 Can’t wait!
I will definitely be making stuffed avocado stat! 🙂
I love the structured/gladiator sandals, I’m not big on wedges I still prefer I killer heel. I have some 4 1/2 inch shiny blue pumps that I wear mainly spring/summer. There from Target, I got them last March, but you can still get them here http://www.target.com/Mossimo-Black-Valonia-Pump-Patent/dp/B001G7BPTG
I stocked up on clearance jean shorts from Gilly Hicks and AE in Sept.- Dec. 😀
I’ll be on the lookout for tanks and shirts to go with them! I LOVE Lace and have a bunch of lace shirts and tanks, I think I need to find a dress though!
I like this Navy/ Cream Cherry Print Dress from Forever 21 http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=dress&product%5Fid=200001072 too 🙂
I think I may have to go shopping tomorrow.
I have had such issues with getting up early lately. I blame the freezing, wintery weather 🙁
CUTE avocado cups, what a fun idea.
On my shopping list for the spring – A new pair of Fit Flops. I don’t wear them for the ‘toning’, they’re just really freaking comfortable and have a lot more support than regular ‘flops. I like the gold sequined ones here:

I’d also like to pick up some cute shorts. I never wear shorts and this is my year!
When I head to Florida for vacation in 3 weeks, I would like to pick up some coral necklaces. A ‘coral’ pink one and an off-white.
super cute!!
Laura reminded me I want these VS Braided Sandals http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265407593941&c=Page&cid=1265388124579&pagename=vsdWrapper There’s 5 colors!
Ok I’ll stop now 🙂
I can’t bear to start shopping around when I don’t have much money to buy right now. 🙁 But I also am on the watch for wedges, fun summery dresses, white crops, bohemian flowy tops, and bright nailpolish! 😀
Long dresses! Can’t wait to hopefully find one I actually like this year!
LOVE those sandals!
Love to avocado-stuffed avocado!
I can’t wait for some comfy-funky going out clothing: http://www.sageclothing.com/store/D3052%21Solem/Dress
I LOVE that denim shirtdress! Super cute!
I am OBSESSED with sandals! And fun springy bright tops, skirts, jewelry…you know the deal:)
Those pancakes look super yum! Pancakes would be the perf midnight snackety snack:)
I love the wedges! I seriously have chicken legs, lol! I cant rock shorts! I try but sometimes I just dont like the way I look in them : p
I love getting colorful tanks and pretty necklaces to dress them up with or bracelets too ; )
These slip on wedges are too cute I saw on zappos!

I just bought about 10 striped shirts from Forever 21. Went overboard. But they’re all less than ten bucks each.
Random and possibly silly question: Do you eat the skins of the avocado??
ope- just for decoration 🙂
Love the stuffed avocados! Great idea!
oh i can’t wait for Spring! i just want some nice weather. i got too comfortable with the mexico weather,and almost forgot how much this winter stuff in canada sucks
Where do you sell your clothes? Ebay, consignment stores…? I have been wondering what method is better…
I can’t wait for spring! I love prints and bright colors!
The minute the slush and mud and disgusting is gone from New England, I take my cue to bust out the sundresses, flip flops, and bright colors. 🙂
Went to gap today and lots of cute skirts and sandals were out. Oh how I am ready for spring!
Have a gret night Gina.
😉
Skirts skirts skirts!!! I heart skirts in the Spring and Summertime 🙂
I love the fashion post!
The lace dress, the denim dress, the shoes…I dig it all!
I am super ready for spring! Not sure that i will shop for spring per se, but I get cheap thrills from finding cute new t’s and shorts….nothing that breaks the bank, but just something new and cute makes me feel like spring is here. i.e. Target can do the trick 🙂
And i love the stuffed avo and filling mixture you used!
Love your blog, Gina! I’ve been reading for awhile but now I’m blogging and figuring all this out, so I figured I’d say hey! I’m really loving that lace dress and the bracelet…great style! 🙂
thanks so much for saying hi!
Yay for lace dresses! I bought one consignment back in October (it’s white) and every time I’ve worn it I get so many compliments.
I bought a pair of clogs end of last summer I’m hoping they’re still in fashion!!
So hard to decide! We have no money and since I no longer can work, I don’t really buy any new clothes! I am sure glad I am not a shopper! I have enough clothes to get by, so I only buy something new when it is a necessity! Or if there is some sort of special occasion that warrants it! On top of that My daughter will be getting married in 2 years!
I love that link bracelet. I’m gonna get some wedges and jean shorts. Other than that I stock up on tanks and work the layers.
I love spring shopping! I cant wait to get some cute new sandals and wedges and skirts and light airy tops.
Oh my gosh, I have nothing at all on my radar for things to buy this spring…I just kind of go shop and see what I like. I know I need more shorts/skirts. I really love wearing sun dresses when it’s warm enough, but my office is always freezing, so I can only dress for spring/summer on weekends!
it was -20 here this morning. you better believe I am counting down the days till spring! did I miss you saying where you worked? or is it on the DL?
i still work for lululemon, and have my fitness business 🙂
Not a fan of the shirt dress, but that lace dress is SOOOOOO cute! Love lace & Love that dress!
i always put cocoa powder in my protein pancakes. a breakfast without chocolate just doesn’t suffice for me anymore! haha
youre getting me sooo pumped for spring! i love the styles this year
I love all your choices of sumer clothing places- J.Crew, Anthro, Barney’? Yes please. Have a good evening!
i LOVE that lace dress! and i’m excited about sandals and spring dresses…it’s going to be amazing if it ever warms up 🙂
I totally love that skirt!!
OMG that bracelet is over $600…
if only I had that kind of money!
you and me both, girl!

ok one more time cause I messed up the link and thought others might want to see it still 🙂
LOVE chain link bracelets!
LOVE chain link bracelets!
when I first started reading blogs I clicked away on raw food & vegan blogs, too weird for me haha. Now I juice every morning eat tons more veggies and fruits AND went vegan, lol. blogs are very inspiring to me. i still read a plethora of blogs, but I do have a tendency for either vegan/high raw food blogs, or just once with amazing recipe after amazing recipe, like edibleperspective/ashley. I do prefer not too much meat on the blog though. and sometimes I follow bloggers that are less ‘like me’ eating wise but more like me because of age or something else 🙂
I want a shirt dress and some cute flats. Good flats are hard for me, because I get blisters very easily. I pretty much wear “sensible shoes” ALL THE TIME. How depressing.
I am SO ready for spring!!
I love the avocado cups!
It seems like we’re having a neverending winter here, so I haven’t even thought about spring shopping yet! I’m looking forward to getting some sundresses and bright coloured shorts though.
Hey Gina!
I have a question for you. I just got a box of quinoa and was looking for some fun things to do with it, and I noticed your breakfast quinoa looks particularly delish. Could you provide any directions for assembly? Thanks!! 😀
I love it when dresses and skirts have pockets! Will be looking for those. I’ve noticed that Anthropologie, my favorite clothing store, tends to carry lots of items with pockets. Do you think you could bake those socca thingies? And if so, how would you go about doing it? Thanks! xoxo
totally- maybe 5-7 min one side, flip and other side
LOVE the wedges, heart the skirt – now i’m craving spring!
My wardrobe choices for spring? Anything easily washable and a wish that one day the baby will stop using my shirt for a kleenex and my shoulder as a vomit repository.
