07.19.2018

The biggest sale of the season is finally here! It’s basically that time where your instagram is flooded with a bunch of bloggers sharing their favorite #NSALE picks, amiright?!

Im a little late to the party as I have been traveling for my brothers wedding, but I’ve gotten a ton of requests for this post so here it is!

There are SO many good finds this time around, I am so impressed! This might be my favorite yet. I do find it a little overwhelming, so I am sharing my TOP TEN PICKS FROM THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE with you guys today.

MY TOP TEN:

It was not easy narrowing down my top ten, but I am especially loving the items above. There are quite a few great pairs of denim on sale, and these caught my eye right away! I also love this and this black denim pair.

These sunnies are a must, I am shocked they are on sale! Also this hairdryer is AMAZING!! Snag it, if you dont own it already.

These boots are perfect for Fall, and I also love this pair of nude heels.

I have these PJ’s and they are the best!! I wear them almost nightly. This sweater is the absolute coziest, and I also snagged this cute wrap sweater.

And a few more favorites from the SALE:

TOPS & COATS:

This basic tee is PERFECT and on sale for $11! A basic that you cannot pass up. This crop long sleeve is SO cute (for $22) and I’m loving this and this simple dress.

Give me alll the leather jackets! This one is perfect and love the built in hoodie. I also love this and this cardigan. This blazer is TO DIE for!! A little pricey, but amazing. And this is such a gorgeous winter coat.

PANTS:

My black denim tends to fade pretty quickly so I love snagging when on sale. I love this and this cropped pair. This is my favorite pair of denim out of the bunch, and how cute is this denim skirt?! Snagged!

ACTIVEWEAR:

This and this pair of Zella leggings are really great quality and fit. I bought this pair during the last #NSALE and they are great. I also LOVE this Nike pair.

Obsessing over this and this crop top, and this and this tank. I’ve also included some pajama options, as I love both this and this set.

SHOES & ACCESSORIES:

Lets talk shoes! As noted above these boots and these sandals are my favorite. There are also SO many cute booties on sale! I love this, this and this pair.

This and this pair of flats are also so cute. I rarely go for flats, but I need a good pair for work and thinking about snagging these.

Now for accessories, I LOVE these and these Baublebar earrings. This is a great suitcase set, and I also snagged this bag for travel.

BEAUTY:

I use this shampoo and conditioner on a daily basis so I couldn’t pass up this set. I have these silk pillowcases and LOVE them. They are pricey, so best to grab them while they’re on sale.

You cant go wrong with Beauty Blenders, and I also have this diffuser and love it. A few of my favorite hair care brands have great sets on sale including this and this one.

This and this mirror are GREAT! And this is pretty much the best hairdryer around if you are in the market for a new one.

Ok, hope that was helpful!! I will be posting more from the sale once it goes live to the public this week! Happy shopping! xx

FITNESS SERIES: CORE WORKOUT WITH BAY CLUBS

07.05.2018

I am so excited to share the second post of my MINI FITNESS SERIES! As you all know, fitness is a huge part of my life and its only natural that I share that with you all. As a part of my blog, I will share a fitness series with you at least once a month that highlights a specific workout while also highlighting some of my favorite activewear brands.

So today I’m sharing a little bit more about WHERE I workout on a daily basis, along with a killer core workout to get your abs burning!

We have been members of Bay Club San Francisco for about 4 months now and we cant imagine being members anywhere else! Prior, we were at 24 hour fitness, and Bay Clubs is such a different atmosphere I absolutely love it.

Bay Clubs is more of a lifestyle and a place where I look forward to spending time each day. We spend a lot of time in the gym, so to have full amenities is such a treat. Bay Clubs has a great community of active people and is such an uplifting atmosphere.

We love all of the amenities the club offers. They have swimming pools, basketball courts, cycling studio, full spa, a variety of group fitness classes, a gorgeous lounge, cafe (happy hour each night), a shop (hello Lululemon), shuttle and the list goes on! There is nothing missing from this club! I also love that there are many rooms and many different places to workout within the club. For instance, there is a main fitness floor, but about 7-8 different rooms that you can use anytime to either lift weights, use a cardio machine, practice yoga, pilates or crossfit. I love that if the main gym is busy, there are so many alternative places to workout and feel comfortable.

Needless to say, if you are on the hunt for a new gym I highly recommended you check out Bay Clubs. Its really the best you can get in the city.

Now for a killer core workout!

Repeat each circuit 3 times before moving on the next. Also try not to rest in between each exercise within the circuit. For added intensity, incorporate a cardio move in between circuits. I love jumping rope or rowing for 2 mins in between.

Circuit 1: complete each exercise for 1 min, then repeat circuit 3x

Crunch with weight overhead

Air bike

Plank Jack

Plank hold

Circuit 2: complete each exercise for 1 min, then repeat circuit 3x

Running man in plank position

Dumbell side bend (rotate rides)

Plank, knee to elbow (rotate sides)

Plank hold

Circuit 3: complete each exercise for 1 min, then repeat circuit 3x

Russian Twist with weight

Flutter kicks

Leg raise

Plank hold

OUTFIT DETAILS: BELOFORTE SPORTS BRA / LILYBOD LEGGINGS / NIKE SNEAKERS (similar)

Now lets talk activewear! I mixed it up a bit for this post, wearing both Lilybod leggings and Beloforte sports bra.

Lilybod has a lot of different fun legging options with fun designs and stripes. Here are a few pairs that I’m loving:

I am also a HUGE fan of Beloforte. Their Fall 17 line is TO DIE FOR. The season features a range of mauve, nude and black activewear including sports bras, tanks, leggings and sweatshirts. Looking forward to sharing this dusty rose set with you all on the blog soon!

Hope you all had a great 4th of July!

06.25.2018

You know I la la love a good jumpsuit! They are so effortless and there are a million styles that I am loving right now! I narrowed them down to my top twelve which I’m sharing with you today.

First off, when I saw this jumpsuit I’m wearing in this post, I knew I HAD to have it! I love the color, pattern and structure. The loose sleeves, tie in the front and print are giving me all the bohemian vibes! I am noticing my style evolve a bit, and I am loving everything boho and effortless for summer. This jumpsuit fits the bill, and will be wearing all summer long!

OUTFIT DETAILS: JUMPSUIT (purchased at a boutique here in San Francisco) / HAT / CLUTCH / SUNGLASSES / NECKLACE / SANDALS (similar)

I love wearing jumpsuits both day and night. They are so effortless and chic. I will never tire of a good jumpsuit!

For a daytime look, this casual black sweat jumpsuit is a must! I mean, looking chic in sweats is what its all about! I LOVE this wide leg denim number, and both this and this are giving me all the summer vibes. I snagged this black floral jumpsuit which will be coming to the blog soon! I love the pattern and the flared leg.

This red jumpsuit is so dang hawt, and if you are looking for black, this is the one for you! I love the crop and the off the shoulder look.

This is another chic look for evening in a lighter pink shade. The open back is so dang cute! I may need to snag that one as well.

Both this and this can be worn day and night, just dress up or down with sandals or heels. I wore this black jumpsuit in Hawaii and it was perfect (also under $45!) So casual, trendy and the perfect fit.

Here are my top twelve picks at the moment:

Hope you all have a great week! xx

SUMMER BEAUTY: MY FAVORITE HAIR PRODUCTS FOR WARMER MONTHS

06.19.2018

Let’s talk hair! I find that I use a lot of different hair products during Summer months and I’ve found so many that I absolutely love lately that I’m sharing today! I find that I love to style my hair less during the summer, and use different texturizing, color extending and hydrating products then I do in cooler months.

OUTFIT DETAILS: MAXI DRESS / BAG / HAT / EARRINGS / SANDALS

Shannon Righetti Photography

I recently came across a new holy grail shampoo and conditioner by Moroccanoil. I use Moroccanoil’s original shampoo and conditioner on a regular basis, but they just came out with a color protectant version which I have been using for about a month now and love! Since my hair is color treated, I use this and this purple shampoo and conditioner when I feel like my hair is getting a brassy tint from the blonde. I would say I use it maybe 2-3x per month.

During the summer months I try to let my hair air dry as much as possible. This new air dry foam by Ouai is life changing! When I dont feel like blow drying, I put a little foam in my hair and let air dry. The foam eliminates most of the frizz and embraces my natural wave. I do get keratin treatments, which also helps with my crazy frizzy hair.

Masking is the way to go! I use a lot of products because I truly believe that my hair is long, and healthy because of them. I love using this mask once a week or whenever my hair feels extra dry. If I dont have the mask on hand, I love putting Kopari coconut oil in my hair for a few hours, then rinse. It leaves hair super hydrated and shiny.

So lets talk oils. Every night before bed I apply this or this oil to my ends (only). Not only does it smell good, but helps mend split ends and hydrate dry hair. After styling, I spray a little of this oil for extra healthy shine. I love oils probably the most out of my hair care routine.

Last but not least, this texturizing hair spray is perfect for summer waves. This Living Proof anti-frizz humidity shield spray is also in heavy rotation. Another hot tip: sleep with a silk pillowcase for skin and hair goals.

Hope this post was helpful and answers most of your hair questions! Let me know if you have any others. xo
