FIT FASHION: NOT-SO-BASIC BASICS

03.07.2017

Hope you all are having a great week! I am currently sitting on a flight right now on my way to Canada for a work trip. Its been a whirlwind the last few weeks, we also visited Las Vegas over the weekend for a fun getaway with friends. Needless today I am TIRED! Anyways, today I wanted to share a fit fashion (and airport) look which I am LOVING lately. If you follow me on insta, you know I’m a sucker for basics. I tend to gravitate towards black leggings and black and white tees/tanks. I am always on the hunt for ways to spice up a simple look and these leggings and tee are exactly what I was looking for.

I la la love the back on this tee! Its so fun and adds a little flair to a basic white top. I ordered a size small for those of you who asked on my insta.

I’ve been on the hunt for tops other then racerback tanks and have found so many cute options! Here are a few that are on my list. I just picked up this long sleeve and this super cute cropped hoodie.

And there are so many not-so-basic sports bras that I’ve had my eye on lately. Activewear brands and really stepping it up!

These Alo Yoga moto leggings are definitely a favorite of mine! I wear them often and they are also very versatile. I love throwing on a leather jacket and it instantly transforms into a cute errands or brunch outfit. These leggings give any look a little bit of edge. And if you are in the market for something a little different…

My Favorite Activewear Brand at the Moment…

03.30.2015

Let’s talk athletic apparel! One of my favorite topics. I’m always on the hunt for some great workout clothes. I typically go for Nike and occasionally Lululemon, but I’ve been searching for something a little different lately. I came across ALALA, a fashion forward activewear brand and fell in love!

(You can shop my outfit here)

Quite possible the most comfortable pants and tee I own, but also super fashionable! I love the mesh back on the top and marble-like design on the pants. The fabric is also super lightweight, sweat resistant and very high quality.

A little more about the brand…

“From an early morning spin class to back to back meetings to a late dinner with friends, we are redefining the meaning of living an active life.”

The ALALA declaration:

… that we don’t have to leave our style in the locker room

… that loving the way we look in our gear makes our workout so much better

… that neither fashion nor exercise should be taken so seriously

… in indulging in a bowl of spaghetti and a glass or two (or three) of wine

… that, like fashion, we’ll try any workout on for size

… that it’s always more fun to work out with friends

Thank you ALALA for sponsoring this post.

#TheMessyProject Anniversary Edition!

07.24.2013

Hey everyone!! An amazing gf of mine has one of the top fashion blogs, Messy Dirty Hair, which I am SO proud of her for! She has taught me how to blog when I wasn’t pulling my hair out trying to figure it out on my own. It happens to be the 1 year Anniversary of the infamous #MessyProject which Kelly is known for. Happy 1 year to The Messy Project!! Kelly asked me to participate this time around which am I am thrilled to be a part of!

If you’ve been following my blog since the beginning you may recognize this, but here’s what it’s all about: 1 item of clothing given to 5 girls. Then it’s up to them to style it their own. So with this particular project, Kelly chose this dress and it was up to us to have a little fun with it.

“One of the main reasons I love fashion is because you can make it your own. Everyone can have the same exact clothes but the way you style & wear it, is your choice. It gives you a chance to express your inner fashionista. A plain white tee can be looked at as boring & same ol’ same ol’ but think about all the different ways you can wear it. All the different accessories you can add to it. The layers of clothes you can put on it. So this plain white tee isn’t so plain anymore. You’ve made it your own.” -Kelly

So here we go, me trying to model and tying the knot. 😉 hehe

in the spirit

02.15.2013

In the spirit of Valentines day, (my favorite holiday) I am dying to share what made our day so special! Some of you may despise this “love” day, others swoon, but I’m a romantic so I couldn’t help myself! I spent the evening with my love. He has been so supportive with my fitness passions, life and journeys, I can’t thank him enough. Jeff, you are the most amazing spirit and I am so lucky to call you my best friend, boyfriend and true love. I am a big believer that a girl should receive flowers and love everyday of the year, and he makes this happen! Spoiled and very lucky I am! And can’t forget my Dad…he always has and always will be my #1 Valentine. 🙂

Here is a recap of a few special moments:the dress (from Asos, on sale!)

The beautiful roses and phenomenal food at Fleur de Lys in San Francisco. A Hubert Keller Restaurant, this place is 5 star, and the food IS all that it’s cracked up to be!

Among other wonderful gifts, I decided to make this cute fruit bowl, instead of your average heart chocolates. Thank you Pinterest for this idea! Corny, I know…but he loved it! Did I tell you, that I am giving up chocolate, cheese and alcohol for Lent?! Yes, you heard that right! I am giving up ALL 3…they are my biggest weakness and I decided to do it big this year for a healthier 2013! Wish me luck. 🙂

My brand new Nike pants that he surprised me with! Can you tell that we LOVE health and fitness?! Can’t wait to hit the gym with these babies today!

Leaving you with this cute little saying that I found via Instagram. 🙂

I hope you all had a fabulous Valentine’s Day and thanks for reading!
