The Perfect Thanksgiving Outfit

Hi everyone, I can’t believe we’re already two days away from Thanksgiving! With that being said, today I’m featuring the perfect thanksgiving outfit with Sole Society. There is honestly no better way to conceal a Thanksgiving food baby than wearing all black with a cozy cape or poncho over it like this reversible colorblock ruana! I also recommend wearing heeled or leg-flattering booties like these Veronika booties from Sole Society to help you avoid looking frumpy if you’re petite like me. In fact, I love the Veronika booties so much that I got them in two colors: bordeaux and chestnut. Also, this is my second year wearing this exact color block cape because it’s so chic and cozy for fall and winter. However, if you’re looking for a slightly different style boot or cape, Sole Society offers a wide variety of shoes, clothing, handbags and accessories. I especially love their wool blanket scarf and long faux fur stole right now.

How cool are these embroidered booties? This retro-inspired trend is huge for fall and winter. Wear them with mini skirts, cropped jeans or the new micro flare style.

My Current Favorite Topshop Coats and Jackets

November 21, 2016

Hi everyone, for my second post of the day, I’m celebrating this long-awaited fall weather with three of my favorite Topshop coats and jackets from Nordstrom. All three of these outerwear styles featured in today’s post are at the top of my fall/winter must-have list: the camel coat, the sleeveless coat and the longline blazer. You can find all of these pieces at Nordstrom including the clothing, shoes and accessories to style with them. If you don’t already at least one of these, I highly recommend scooping one up especially this week while my favorite ripped jeans and this sleeveless coat are 40% OFF!

1. The Camel Coat goes with everything especially everyday wear and looks great with plaid scarves! I wore this coat all over New York City with just a sweater and scarf.

Three Ways To Help You Stay Fit And Motivated During The Holidays

November 21, 2016

Good morning everyone, today I’ve partnered up with Finish Line to share a review on the new Adidas Alpha Bounce running shoes along with three ways to help you stay fit and motivated during the holidays. I know I haven’t posted a ‘Motivational Monday’ post in a while, but I figured we could all use a little pep talk this week with Thanksgiving and the start of the holiday season coming up this Thursday. I know it’s hard to not let Thanksgiving dinner and holiday treats get the best of you, but at least you can always work off those extra calories by hitting the gym. The trick is to keep yourself motivated throughout the season! Check out what keeps me motivated to workout below.

Three Ways to Help You Stay Fit and Motivated During the Holidays:

1) Nothing motivates me more than a new pair of running shoes and some cute activewear! The Adidas AlphaBounce running shoes are super comfortable and cushiony. Plus they look super sleek with my activewear looks. Not to mention that they’re currently on sale! Just wait until you the price in your cart on FinishLine.com. For size reference, I ordered the size 6.5, which is my normal size. However, I’ve heard that for running shoes, you should always go a half size down because you want them to be nice and snug for extra support when running. With that being said, I could have easily gone with the size 6, but I don’t mind the 6.5, but with a thicker sock.

2) Give yourself “doable” weekly workout goals. For example, if you have a busy work schedule, don’t give yourself a goal of hitting the gym five times a week. Instead of setting yourself up for potential failure, try and commit to three days a week and maybe an extra long walk with the dog or your workout buddy, which brings me to my last and most important tip!

3) Recruit a workout a partner so that you have someone else to hold you accountable for your workouts. Plus it’s so much nicer to workout with a friend versus working out alone. I’m much more likely to get myself in the gym or stay longer at the gym if I’m working out with a buddy. I also love going on early morning walks or bike rides with my neighbor.

Bonus Tip: Make a deal with yourself that every time you put on active wear clothes for the day, you actually do something active instead of just running your errands while rocking the “athleisure” trend! Don’t worry, I’m guilty of this too!

Fall Trends To Try: Velvet Tanks, Dresses & Accessories

November 18, 2016

Hi everyone and Happy Friday! Next on my list of trends to try this fall is: velvet tanks, dresses and accessories. They’re perfect for dressing up during the holiday season or for adding a hint of texture to your wardrobe. I’m sure you all remember this velvet tank that I wore to the Britney Spears concert in Vegas and posted on Instagram a couple of weeks back. The one you all went crazy over! Well, today is your lucky day because not only is it Friday and payday, but also because my velvet tank has been restocked in six different colors! Yes, you read that right. Six! And you better believe that I will most definitely be purchasing another one in another color. I’m currently trying to decide between green and the grey, but who knows. I may end up with all size different tanks! Just kidding! Kinda… What color are you going for?
