Fashion & Fitness Fridays

Happy Friday!!! I decided to continue doing Fashion Fridays with Kori at Blonde Episodes but throw in Fitness Fridays as well for 2 reasons…

1. To hold me (formally known as a lazy bum) accountable on working out! and track my progress anddd

2. Because the two really do go hand in hand, at least for me, when I feel more fit, healthy and in shape, my clothes not only look and feel better but I enjoy fashion a whole lot more! so lets get to it

Fashion Fridays

Since it is FREAKING hott here, I have been obsesssssing over wearing dresses morning, noon and night! I have been stepping out of my comfort zone and have been really attracted to bright colors and bold (er) prints… in the past I usually stuck to simple prints but summer is really the season to stand out! Here are some affordable lovelies - I am biting my tongue not to run out and purchase all of them!

workin on my fitness

I really don’t want to loose much, I am a 4-6 so really just want to be a 4 all around and I want to tone up and feel better when I’m running around in this God awful heat.

This week I only worked out twice #imaloser BUT I did run without stopping for almost 1 1/2 mi. I hadn’t gone that far without stopping so that was exciting!! andddd I hadn’t planned on doing this yet so don’t judge just quite yet ;)

Have a GREAT weekend loves!!!

The old school flip flop

I am without a doubt a high heel looovvaaa but during the summer down here in Texas sometimes it is so f-ing HOT and HUMID being really comfortable trumps my 6 inch heels. Which brings me to the good ‘ole flip flop. OH, Where have you gone my friend? I have seen you try to be transformed into this:

and I just can’t do it. I’m sorry, but I just can’t. I mean, the CROC bandwagon, sucked me in before I even realized what I was doing but seriously…

image

I am never jumping on the gladiator sandal bandwagon.

which brings me to my other dilemma. In search of my long lost friend – the normal flip flop, all I seemed to find were these

image

image

Every cute flip flop I have seen lately has some kind of contraption, back, side strap. I want to slide my foot in, and go. Is that too much to ask??

Without further adieu I bring you the normal, cute flip flop. (yes, they do still exist!)

Fashion Friday!

Today I decided to link up for Fashion Fridays

image

and since it is so bright and sunny here today it makes me want think of this…

31774_1300321878024_1529730507_31481034_3807502_n

so this fashion Friday is dedicated to must haves for summer because well, down here in Texas, it is summer for about 7 months out of the year!

image

you MUST have some white jeans. Find a pair that fit very well - they make you look so thin (I love my Joe’s white jeans) and they go with everything! you can dress them down for the day or up for a night out!

casual

Dressy

image

I know this trend was in last year but I don’t follow what’s “in” or “out” really, I just wear what I like! and I LOVE the one- shoulder trend. I think it is so feminine and sexy without showing too much!

Another must have is a bag! Usually white is the go to summer bag but I say nude is the new white!
