A Walk in the Park

January 17, 2016

Hooded2 Hello loves!
I hope this post finds you thriving in this sometimes daunting part of the new year! Resolutions have been made, lifestyle changes have begun to take place, and I wish for everyone a happy and healthy month. I’ve been attempting (mostly successfully) to channel a lot of my stress into committing to the 21 day fix/Beachbody program. I was introduced to the plan by Shannon at Layered by Cake, who connected me with my coach, Caitlyn (also the winner of our #weekwithoutjeanschallege). I met up with Caitlyn to deliver her prize, we ended up chatting for hours, and I discovered that she was involved with a lifestyle company called BeachBody.
I’ve been on the fix for 20 days now and will be taking a few days break before starting up again. I really feel like it’s a great way to get on a healthy, fit track. I have so much more energy, my clothes have been fitting more loosely, I feel stronger, and it actually does make me feel good to know that I’m doing something great for my body! Shakeology is hella expensive, but I love it mixed I with spinach and fruit (especially mango & strawberries or peanut butter and frozen cherries, yum!) in the morning for a nice energizing boost and the knowledge that I’ve gotten in a fruit, a vegetable & a protein before I even leave the house!
Whatever methods you use for creating a healthier lifestyle, I hope you have fun and enjoy discovering new ways of allowing yourself to feel better! 😀

Navy Blues

November 18, 2015

DFT Centennial Plaza Choices01It’s always a treat to spend time in the Layered by Cake boutique, checking out all of the cute new items Shannon has brought in. I was immediately drawn to this scarf as soon as my eyes locked on it. The shades of blue and brown instantly brought to mind several outfit pairings… Over a gray or cream-colored dress, with an ivory sweater and cognac knee-high boots, etc.
Navy is definitely one of my favorite hues for fall. It’s chic and comforting, but not as stark as black.

Casual Pineapple and My New Fave

September 2, 2015

DSC_0143It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you the newest member of my accessories family.. This lovely (and functional, it’s also a crossbody!) Botkier bag! I’d been wanting to own one of their pieces for a while, after falling in love with the Cobalt Trigger Small Satchel and the Black Trigger Crossbody I received from Rent the Runway.

This one took some effort to finally have in my possession, after the package containing it, two scarves and a necklace purchased from Rent the Runway were stolen off my front porch 🙁 I had to re-purchase it and wait another week for it to get to me, but I’ve been so happy with it ever since! It’s got oodles of places to put all of my necessities and a unique magnetic closure instead of a zipper for the main compartment.

I love a casual, effortless look like this that’s still put together. It’s always great to add in a surprising element (color, texture, print) to a white tee and jeans, and this adorable pineapple print scarf did just the trick!
