In full bloom

One of my favorite signs of spring is the cherry blossoms down in DC. So scenic and every year   since my first year of college I try and go. They don’t look any different of course. And no different than the ones across the street or on my way to work, but each year they blow me away-Something with the surroundings, the monument and memorials in the background. Not really sure what it is.

I wanted to wear a skirt (another one of my favorite signs of spring) but it was a bit too windy that day that I decided to keep them away for a few days longer since 80′s is in the near forecast

 

Top- H&M

Pants- Old Navy

Earrings- Forever 21

Is it feeling like spring where you are?

{Fit and Fabulous} BodyRock 30 day challenge!

Hello everyone! Today my friend Alex of Fashionista and the Foodie, told me that she was doing the May 30 day Bodyrock challenge. She’s done it before in previous months and absolutely loves it so i knew I wanted to take part in it this month! It starts today with a fitness test and every day for 30 days there will a new 12..yes TWELVE, minute high intensity workout posted. So incase I didn’t emphasize the 12 enough..there is absolutely no excuse why I cant find time or am “too tired” to do a 12 minute workout. Im really looking forward to this because Ive really wanted to get back into a good workout regimen and I think this is the perfect way. Who’s going to join me?! Its never to late to start getting fit!

{Color Inspiration} Bloom into spring

A new series I want to start is outfit inspired by color palettes, I’ve seen palettes all over pinterest and some of them are so unique and its a great way to put together outfits with different colors that I wouldnt normally wear. I played it safe this week and went with some muted pinks, brown and mauve. I LOVE these colors! Feel free to pick a palette (or the one below) and make an outfit from it! Id love to see your creations!

How cute are those colored shorts?! Definitely on the lookout for a pair of those!

On another note,

Love this cereal for the mornings! I love fruit and its packed with fiber so it keeps me going til lunchtime! So many options too..from vanilla almonds, to rasberries. Yum. I found this at Target!

Lights, Camera, Fashion

Hello everyone! The other weekend I had the pleasure of attending my very first fashion show, the Kilse Fashion show. Unfortunately, my camera failed on me so I do not have pictures but I will post from her store. It was a great evening and I really loved the pieces and outfits that she put together. Most of her pieces were dresses, more on the fancier side and perfect for a night out or a cocktail party. I loved in how in a lot of her dresses, the backs were so unique, adding a little flair of fun and interest.

Love the back! And anything purple

Another thing I really loved was the COLOR…oh spring is here. I love how there were bright colors and not just the typical LBD. If you look at the store, Kilse Fashion, you’ll see yellows, teals and purples. so fun:)

Also during the show, she has pant suits, shirts, and blazers. Keep a look out on the store for these items!

Which dress is your favorite?

Xoxo!

Keep Calm…

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! Xoxo!
