Favorite Looks of the Week September 26, 2014

Favorite Looks of the Week

You can definitely spot the New York City and San Francisco bloggers in this week’s ‘Favorite Looks of the Week,’ in that they are dressed for fall while others are still enjoying the last days of summer weather. It is still pretty toasty in Texas, so I spent most of my week in shorts. I know I’ll regret saying this as soon as it starts to get chilly, but I’m ready for cooler temperatures. I love our nightly family walks when I get to put on a jacket and scarf.

I struggle to pick a favorite look from my top ten, but if push came to shove, I’d go with Wendy’s bow top. I am in love with it! Which of these looks is your favorite?

Have a great Friday and weekend. Don’t forget to enter the Freshly Picked moccasin giveaway. It ends at midnight tonight!

Favorite Looks of the Week

Happy Friday, y’all. I spent the first two days of the week fighting off food poisoning, which wasn’t fun, but managed to enjoy the next few days by catching up on life in Houston after spending the last 2+ months in Colorado. I love getting to ~~see~~ tightly hug everyone.

My last ‘Favorite Looks of the Week’ post was back in March (see all here), and I’ve decided to revive the series, as I enjoy picking out the outfits I love the most from the bloggers I look at almost every day. In the past, I included all of my favorite looks, but I have decided to whittle it down to my favorite ten looks (in no particular order). This week has some amazing looks – the highlights being Blair Eadie’s wraparound braid and Arielle Nachmani’s hot pink Christian Dior heels.

Which of these looks do you love the most?1. Pink Peonies // 2. Something Navy 3. Vanilla Extract // 4. Could I Have That?5. Convey the Moment // 6. Stephanie Sterjovski 7. Bishop & Holland // 8. Happily Grey 9. Wendy’s Lookbook // 10. Atlantic-Pacific

Work It Out

I genuinely believe that feeling good (i.e. stylish) in your workout clothes is one of the best inspirations to get yourself to the gym. I used to care a lot less about my exercise style, but have recently change my tone. My sister-in-law is a Lululemon fanatic – she owns everything from the store and has been amazing and gifted me lots of workout goodies. I recently purchased these Nike Lunarglide 6 Running Shoes and feel just as excited about them as a new pair of heels. They are amazing. If you’re in the market for a new pair of running kicks, I highly recommend these.

As soon as we’re back in Houston, I’m giving up my 24 Hour Fitness membership to get one to Life Time Fitness. One of my good friends has a membership there, and I’m excited about all of the classes we’re going to do together (and they have great daycare! Hooray!). I’ve put together some bright yellow inspired workout outfits for my three favorite activities – running, spin and yoga.

Do you enjoy buying workout clothing? What are your favorite running shoes?

Lastly, the winner of the BabyLit giveaway is Fiona! Congratulations!

Week 7 in Durango

Week 7 has come and gone very quickly, with the holiday weekend and my parents arriving in Colorado. We are going back to Houston in one week from today – I am so ready to hug (i.e. squeeze to death) my friends, but so sad to leave this gorgeous weather and valuable family time.

In the past week, we hiked up to Fort Lewis College every morning, tried a new restaurant (Chimayo – amazing and will definitely be on my updated Durango Travel Guide), went to the Saturday farmer’s market (delicious hatch peppers and tasty wheat grass drinks!), made some crepe paper peonies (DIY here), baked more vegan black bean brownies as well as these amazing and healthy cookies, ate even more Cream Bean Berry, watched Isla play with her ‘Mimi’ and ‘Papa’, dominated my parents in Taboo, and practiced playing bean bag toss (I’m awful). The only low point of the week was getting stung by a wasp twice (in my hand and leg) – totally unprovoked on my end! Not fun.

Lastly, I recently set up a Facebook page and Instagram account for Snapshots & My Thoughts. I would love if you were to follow along so I can follow you too! Thanks for reading. xoxo

Save vs. Splurge: Fall Shoes

After checking Weather.com, it looks like Texas is not entering into the fall season any time soon, but it definitely feels close here in Colorado.The lows here this week are around 47 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees Celsius), which definitely requires a jacket, jeans and boots. While spring is my favorite season, fall is a close second. I love the burgundy, browns, and deep greens of fall fashion, and most especially fall shoes. Some of my the pumps and booties that I’ve bookmarked cost a pretty penny (basically everything from Tory Burch), but there are also some really cute cheaper shoes that I’m eyeing (especially those from J. Crew Factory!).

I’ve put together a collection of splurges and thrifty finds below. Which is your favorite? Are you ready for fall to come?
