Alas... that yucky part of winter when you are so sick of snow and are yearning for some sunshine and maybe some spring clothes...<br />
<br />
I think every girl out there loves a change of season because it is a chance to update your wardrobe, pick up some great deals and decipher what the latest trends are and how you can incorporate them into your daily wardrobe. For me, it seems like each season I look not only for certain trends but gravitate towards a certain color trend as well. This past fall, I reverted back to classic navy and mustard, for winter I always love insane amounts of red and this spring my latest pastel favorite is... blush pink. Pastel hues of mint, blush and lilac were huge last year and are continuing strong again this year. I have always had a touch of girly in my wardrobe but I have actually been wearing less pink lately, why I am not too sure. However, blush pink can be a great way to bring a mature flair to an outfit as well as wear pink to work without feeling too much like a little girl.<br />
<br />
Here are some of my picks! I can't wait to add pops of blush into my wardrobe! What color are you craving for spring?<br />

As much as I love finding fashion inspiration from store displays, Pinterest, Instagram, blogs and magazines, there are still times when I find myself staring at my closet trying to come up with an outfit. On days like this, I usually find myself taking my go to item and make it work for either work or going out. What kind of item can work for both a wide range of occasions or other clothing items<br>
<br>
Drumroll please... A chambray shirt.<br>
<br>
I started out with one basic shirt from Target and now I own several in different shades and prints, including a dress and sleeveless top. I am always looking for new ways to wear these tops with skirts, colored denim and layered with sweaters. I think chambray shirts are the best basic around to show off those statement necklaces no mater what! I have included some inspiration from my Pinterest board, some outfits I have worn, as well as some links to some items and accessories available now!<br>
<br>
What is your favorite way to wear chambray?<br>
<br>
Stay healthy!<br>

Stay warm, comfortable and cute with my picks for holiday shopping!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
I wanted to post a mix of items that I both use and love and may be on my own wish list but are great gifts for any gal on your list. These items can be great for lots of girls you may know: Does she like to cook? Does she live somewhere cold and snowy? Is she a beauty product junkie or need a little extra pampering? All of these items are on trend and great for this time of year!<br />
Living in Pennsylvania means I spend months being bundled up but with some of these items below you can look cute while staying warm! I have always loved red and there are a few items on this list that incorporate the new trendy buffalo plaid pattern. Red accessories like the red Hunter boots, Kate Spade bag buffalo plaid scarf make a great pop of color to any outfit! Don't forget to stop by your nearby outlet mall; designers like Kate Spade and Tory Burch have awesome items for the designer name for a huge percentage less than the retail versions.<br />
Many of these items can be pricey but don't forget that I am a firm believer that you should never pay full price for anything! With this weekend being the beginning of holiday shopping with both Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, I have seen all of these items on sale. Here is a quick breakdown of some of my latest deal finds: Old Navy 50 % off in store, Express 40% off in store, Sephora; check your mailbox I just got $15 off $50 starting Wednesday December 3. Kohl's; extra 15% plus earn Kohl's Cash for every $50 you spend.<br />
<br />
<br />
Enjoy my picks fashion, home and beauty picks!</div>

Trend Update!<br />
<br />
I am a trend seeker as much as I can be and when I say trends I mean what is affordable and trendy as opposed to crazy runway trends that have no purpose in real life! One trend I never thought would come back are graphic tees but they seem to be gaining momentum this summer and I'm sure into fall also. I got rid of many "brand name" graphic tees and swore them off for years opting for classic solid, striped and recently printed tees to both dress up and down. However, the cute and whimsical twist with some of these graphics has even made their way into <strike>skeptical </strike>closet. I searched for (ok maybe stalked) the mint "Amor" tee (below) from Old Navy for a few weeks after thinking about it in the early spring. My store seemed to have received another huge shipment of these so I was thrilled to see this included with others! For $9 I could not resist this subtle basic that happens to be on trend. I think it will be a fun piece to wear now and layer with sweaters or even put with sweats when I'm hanging out with "my amor!" Of course being the sappy romantic I am I have to say my next piece may have to be the "kiss" tee from J. Crew Factory.<br />
<br />
What do you think of the graphic trend being "back?"<br />
<br />
Check out some of my picks from J.Crew Factory and Old Navy below!<br />

Summer fashion is always a time to push the limits and I always find myself paying close attention to the fashion magazines. However there are certain trends that even though they may make a "comeback" I ignore them because it will always be a summer staple to me. Between trends like: seersucker, plaid, white denim, gladiator sandals and of course NEON you will always see me rocking some of these trends even if it is in small doses. Many adults I know laugh at me wearing neon because it is a total throwback to the 80s but I love this trend no matter what. Neon colors can be worn in small doses like accessories or swimwear or even in beauty products like nails or lips. This can also make a great night look by making a statement by looking both stylish and sexy! An added bonus with neon is that it can make a pale girl like me with a moderate tan look <i>very </i>tan. Notice I posted this Old Navy dress again because I love it's versatility!<br />
<br />
I love a great neon swimsuit or a top paired with white jeans. This is one trend I will be sporting all summer especially on my toes with these great new neon shades from OPI! Show off that summer glow with my picks below!<br />

Let me first start out this post by explaining that I am a huge fan of patterns! Don't get me wrong I love basic tees and jeans but over the years I love anything plaid, floral, houndstooth, Vera Bradley, nautical, you name it! I just think patterns amp up any outfit whether you are wearing jeans and a patterned top to the grocery store or pairing a pattern pant or skirt with basic top for work. Mixing it up with pattern and color makes you instantly look more pulled together!<br />
<br />
To more accurately explain where my love of patterns came from. Even as a young girl I remember my mom dressing me in patterned shorts, overalls and dresses. When you're young being pattern crazy is adorable and it truly is funny how things come full circle as an adult! Seen here in my throwback picture I am about 5 wearing an early pattern: OshKosh strawberry print overalls! So needless to say I am glad fruit patterns are back! (Think I could rock this in a larger size now? ;)<br />

My first love of this trend was the J. Crew factory Charley sweater in the tangerine print! Then Target had a "must have" pineapple button down blouse but I opted for the cardigan version to wear over dresses and such in the summer on a cool night.<br />
I recently wore this over the Citron Old Navy eyelet dress for my brother's high school graduation and should have left the cardigan on because my shoulders got major sunburn! Ouch! (If you see any of these Old Navy dresses on sale at your store- get it ASAP because it is comfortable, flattering and can be dressed up or down!)<br />

The most recent pattern trend has me super excited because not only is it adorable but as a dietitian, I am able to express my love of fruit and fashion in one shot! Pineapple prints especially with other fruit prints as strong contenders such as lemons and oranges! Yellow and orange are always colors I wear in the summer and this is such a fun new print to create a conversation piece! (aka you will get adorable comments ladies!)<br />
<br />
<br />
Would you wear this trend?<br />

Crew factory and it definitely seems to be my store of choice lately! I have mentioned I like a mix of price points in my wardrobe and as much as I love their style, I just cannot spend a lot on more trendy pieces like certain accessories. However, there are tons of trendy jewelry stores and websites that offer fun statement necklaces, bling-bling earrings and bracelets that can be layered up that we can afford and do not feel guilty about if we do not get a certain number of wears out of them to make the piece feel like a good fashion investment.<br>

The J.Crew factory version this season is available in several colors after the red beaded rose was such a huge hit with J. Crew retail last year. Check out the yellow, coral and white factory versions <a href="http://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/jewelry/necklaces/PRDOVR~A6078/A6078.jsp?color_name=bright-sun">here</a>. Promotional pricing may vary from time to time.<br>
<br>
A few months ago I discovered <a href="http://www.ourworldboutique.com/">Our World Boutique</a> for their on trend pieces with great quality, great service and not to mention great prices that you can pick up some statement pieces in multiple colors ;) So during one of my J. Crew factory trips and drooling over the jewels I found a yellow beaded rose necklace that would be a nice sunny addition to my spring and summer wardrobe. However, the ticketed price was $69.50 (sales fluctuate 30-50% off from week to week) I was determined to find a similar necklace at a more budget friendly price! I was thrilled when Our World Boutique restocked these in 3 flower, 5 flower and 7 flower versions in a wide variety of colors! But wait for the price! Wait for it... wait for it... Only $7.99-$12.99! My yellow version is available in the 7 flower version. Like I said get yourself a bouquet of colors to brighten up your wardrobe at that price!! Wowza! Check them out <a href="http://www.ourworldboutique.com/collections/necklaces">here</a>.<br>
<br>
I cannot wait to wear the yellow beaded rose necklace with lots of color combos and a variety of clothing with both button downs for work or even sundresses on the weekend!<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh91VpxoAT4DWojg8DKgZB2iXO2Nn2qSsVqXOOCphDvXdHPVFgwvfgQOLbMYXLLJ1npkqqWutS4EpztD4i7FYIgGu88ZmHnhKjQaC2QLivAMM3Xfk0koChnKs7D6ysfOF6UWv4l_Nr4gu8/s640/blogger-image-416487270.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh91VpxoAT4DWojg8DKgZB2iXO2Nn2qSsVqXOOCphDvXdHPVFgwvfgQOLbMYXLLJ1npkqqWutS4EpztD4i7FYIgGu88ZmHnhKjQaC2QLivAMM3Xfk0koChnKs7D6ysfOF6UWv4l_Nr4gu8/s640/blogger-image-416487270.jpg"></a></div><br>

J. Crew Factory and Old Navy are two of my go-to stores but J. Crew Factory can also run a little pricey. Nautical looks are one of my all time favorite trends and this trend is back with avengance this spring and makes an anchor loving gal very happy to pick up more pieces! On the left is the Old Navy sweater available now for $15 and the J. Crew Factory sweatshirt with nautical ropes for $45.<br />

<br>
Today I have some fun product reviews to share with a new sample program called "Bath and Body Works Insider" #BBWinsider. I applied through Facebook and was approved based on some basic demographic information. Each "campaign" becomes live throughFacebook at a set time and there are limited sign ups to receive these samples. These 2 are the only ones I have received so far but there have been a few others. <div>First off let me start of by saying these little goodies have shown up after the longest work days and were like little "spa days!" I have always shopped at Bath and Body Works since I was a pre-teen buying roll on glitter. They are very inventive and creative with new products and I rarely try a scent that does not appeal to me. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHvfsJVYtucM80d6JyzeLm_B_OzhUo-m_dkfYz3aoxxnlx2nRjUrBTtvx1OPNRFjcL-uKLONCdfGULFrMX55YALVLNn-XWlhevuws7CZqkoldZwErn7hy3Dsa6AxgL2pP4X2Lij0DB-6o/s640/blogger-image-417235143.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHvfsJVYtucM80d6JyzeLm_B_OzhUo-m_dkfYz3aoxxnlx2nRjUrBTtvx1OPNRFjcL-uKLONCdfGULFrMX55YALVLNn-XWlhevuws7CZqkoldZwErn7hy3Dsa6AxgL2pP4X2Lij0DB-6o/s640/blogger-image-417235143.jpg"></a></div> The first package was Oahu "Coconut Sunset." I love switching to coconut scents for summer and this will be a treat for my everyday use. It is sweet with a hint of floral and coconut. Definitely not the classic "suntan lotion" style coconut but more of a high end perfume like scent. Layering scents is key to getting it to last and I can't wait to smell this every morning in the showe and then layer with lotion and body spray. The sleek new packaging of the fine fragrance mist is a great addition too. There are 2 other varieties available too: Maui and Hawaii. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQh_TGfZiwvB5ZDEVeobfJd_mcRQpDKxF1gWMni7TPbRFddZrFTZ9t9GEatwUAQGFSD0Fk5LBOaFQw5wlXLeBC3fg3GCCS1imYavoakivTqbhyphenhyphenl-aWkRDC1GmCmBRRvbR9h92nWa0W8VY/s640/blogger-image-648136004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQh_TGfZiwvB5ZDEVeobfJd_mcRQpDKxF1gWMni7TPbRFddZrFTZ9t9GEatwUAQGFSD0Fk5LBOaFQw5wlXLeBC3fg3GCCS1imYavoakivTqbhyphenhyphenl-aWkRDC1GmCmBRRvbR9h92nWa0W8VY/s640/blogger-image-648136004.jpg"></a></div>The next series was the preview of different blends of French lavender. This 3 wick candle is a beautiful, earthy classic lavender. I have been burning it in my room after a long day. Lavender is one of my new favorite scents and I am excited to see the other twists on this spring classic. Did I mention this came with a Parisian inspired post card? Oh la-la! A girl can dream about a romantic trip to Paris but for now these scents will have to do!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisjhOEFselECxLqhRGxHvQAL3OIqSoDOuP8I8Z_sc_4K8C467roMQXKDDxTT3omMsp8g9o7Ny41_Q-yXRzM8ZVSrSemPNYoqC2JXvnLj6K2t8j1DZtqzXS3r4Dr8XXxBQe_u_0zLlZQd0/s640/blogger-image--277982486.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisjhOEFselECxLqhRGxHvQAL3OIqSoDOuP8I8Z_sc_4K8C467roMQXKDDxTT3omMsp8g9o7Ny41_Q-yXRzM8ZVSrSemPNYoqC2JXvnLj6K2t8j1DZtqzXS3r4Dr8XXxBQe_u_0zLlZQd0/s640/blogger-image--277982486.jpg"></a></div>Included with the candle was a French lavender and honey body lotion. This was a great scent for a body product because this more floral and sweet scent is better in this form than in home fragrance. I also like lavender with vanilla for body products like the "Sleep" lotion from the Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy line. There have also been some previews of lavender with apricot from this collection as well. </div><div><br></div><div>I can't wait for the rest of this program and the sneak peeks of new products!</div><div><br></div><div>What looks like a good one to you?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>*Note: I received these products for free from Bath and Body Works.

Many times I "save" certain items or colors in my wardrobe for certain seasons but anymore fashion has no rules: "Wear white after Labor Day!" "Mix Prints" "Wear navy and black!" "Of course plaid and stripes match!" So I figured why not brighten up my winter wardrobe with pops of mint. I jumped on the mint bandwagon last year and it surely has staying power in the fashion industry and I am always looking for new ways to incorporate it into my wardrobe.<br />
My love for mint usually is saved for spring but with the winter being very snowy and yuck and spring feeling far, far away, I decided to winterize these mint looks especially with my new necklace from Our World Boutique! How can you say no to this J.Crew inspired piece at only $7.99? Just wait until you see the matching bracelet too!<br />

Many times when I find a task daunting I simply avoid it and my attempt at creating a cute and creative blog is a work in progress! Well I wanted to do my first official outfit idea post and wanted to use Valentine's Day as inspiration! I have learned to LOVE love day! However, with it being in February, the snow and cold can take the fun out of getting dressed up. (one of my favorite things!) This winter has been one for the books and has certainly tested my fashion skills and put a damper on wearing cute shoes! So here are my ideas that were for my own Valentine's Day looks and general ideas for cold weather date nights for all you northern ladies! I made sure to incorporate red and pink! I will let you know what I ultimately went with!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This outfit offers lots of layers with a touch of bling! A warm skirt, tights and boots are an easy way to get dressed up but stay warm!</div>

<br />
Next I have a very comfortable look that can easily transition from a casual bite to eat to being comfortable at the movies or even look cute for a movie night at home! I love these Kohl's Elle brand jeggings! They are a true jegging with a lot of stretch and not super tight. Confession I actually own 2 pairs!<br />

Lastly is what I actually decided to wear: I am a sucker for red and also I love dressing in the holiday spirit. (I will probably be one of those moms that dresses in holiday attire always! haha) The red jeans are casual but different and are the perfect canvas for accessories. My shirt also had a little added spice with a lace back panel which is not shown and was also a Christmas gift from my guy last year!<br />

Quick shopping post! No shop January went very well so last weekend I decided to treat myself with some GREAT deals. The Urban Decay Naked 3 palette I purchased several weekends ago online from Sephora while stuck inside on a snowy night! I blame it on cabin fever but hey, I did save on gas and used a gift card for it! I decided to jump on the bandwagon but I am overall very pleased. The colors are very different than other colors I have and I already own Naked 1. It will be a great transition into summer as well and blending these shades over the whole eyelid really make my blue eyes pop and give more of a complete eye look. I am still on the hunt for new combinations and check out YouTube for tutorials as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sweater I found at J. Crew factory for only $13! It is merino wool and was on clearance plus I used my old (shh don't tell!) student ID for an extra 15% off. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These pants are ankle length dress pant style pants at Target for...drum roll please... $2.48! These came with a belt I might add! I have a navy pair as well from the spring and they are great for the days that you want to be both cute and comfortable! This cute mug that says "I Love You a Latte!" is also from Target and for $2.99 was too adorable not to pick up... even if it was for me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have always loved pink but I guess my love for Valentine's Day and desire for spring is showing! I hope to post more about Valentine's Day and some outfits soon.</div>

<br />
Time, weather and just my own timidness have scared me a little for directions to take this blog. It is intimidating to put yourself out there (even if no one reads!) and also decide what to write about, how to post it and say what you need to say! As I decide the different directions to take this blog with some things up my sleeve for some posts that will be soon to come, I will talk about what I know: nutrition. With the new year in full swing, resolutions for all and busy schedules, as a dietitian I thought I would share some tips for weeknight meals to eat well during the week.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Plan ahead! This is your biggest tool in eating healthy weeknight dinners. I would recommend to shop on the weekends and pick up additional, specialized ingredients for meals you have decided upon. Also take note to basics in your kitchen such as olive oil, rice and pasta, canned beans and fresh and frozen vegetables to see what you are running low on. If you buy your meat on a week to week basis, check and see what you need for recipes. I hope to post some meal inspiration ideas soon!</li>
<li>Bagged salad is OK! Do not assume you need to get fancy with your vegetables: Having a bowl of salad with your meal is better than not having anything at all! Keep toppings healthy with tomatoes, cucumbers or get creative with avocado or edamame. Watch your dressing portions and dip salad into dressing instead of spreading all over to save extra calories. Save "treat" toppings like crutons, crispy noodles or dried fruit for a once in awhile topping rather than everyday.</li>
<li>Crockpots are your best friend! They can make anything taste good with a little meat, veggies and sauce. One of my favorite easy ideas is: 2-3 boneless chicken breasts, 2 cups of salsa, 1 can of black beans and 1 can of corn (each drained). Cook on low for 6-8 hours for a healthy fiesta when you get home!</li>
<li>When all else fails: Eggs are excellent! Who doesn't like breakfast for dinner? Make 2-3 scrambled eggs with low fat milk or whip up an omelet with veggies like spinach, tomatoes and peppers! Keep cheese to 1-2 tbsp and always opt for the low fat variety.</li>
<li>Fruit can always be a substitute for dessert! Try apples with 2 tbsp of peanut butter, sliced bananas and yogurt, or a handful of raspberries with a piece of dark chocolate. </li>
</ul>
This is all making me hungry! Hope this helps!<br />
<br />
What are some of your weeknight meal tips?<br />
<br />

I have an affinity for trying new beauty products and have also been a subscriber to Birchbox for a year and Ipsy for a few months. </div><div>I'm not sure my clear opinion on these subscription beauty boxes because they truly vary from month to month in terms of value. However, I do enjoy the surprise each month brings with these. Hey if I don't get mail I can at least look forward to these and who doesn't like surprises?!</div><div><br></div><div>This month though I realized some of my favorite hair products from Birchbox were almost all gone! Now I thought to had not found any new obsessions yet from it, I was pretty sad to realize they were almost all gone! With a double Birchbox points promo code, and free shipping I decided to give in. </div><div><br></div><div>The red bottle is Beauty Protector Protect and Detangle. It retails for $22 available only on the Birchbox site. This is great to use when blow drying or straightening as a smoother and heat protectant. However what finally clicked with me on this product is not only does it have a warm, sweet scent but it LASTS! Usually hair products do not smell all day in my hair but this leaves a beautiful perfume-like aroma that complents my other perfumes and lotions I use. </div><div>The next is Amika Nourishing Hair Mask which is a small tube for $12. I have long hair and love trying new masks once in awhile and the smell on this one hooked me too! It reminds me of Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy fragrance. It also did not leave my hair feeling greasy or weighed down. </div><div>Lastly is an item I tried and enjoyed and I added a full size to raise my total cost to $35 to get the promo! This $8 tin is J.R. Watkins peppermint foot salve. I bought this with hands and feet in mind and is nice before bed! It sinks into skin and the directions say to put on your feet before putting on socks. This is great after a long day because it does have a soothing affect in tired feet! I used some of this sample throughout last summer and will definitely be using it this summer as well especially to extend those pedis or soothe feet after walking around the pool all day! Can you tell I'm dreaming of warmer weather?! </div><div>Bottom line... If you are willing to pay a little more for some high quality, fabulous smelling products. Then these are for you! Subscribers of Birchbox, don't forget to use your points when you pay!</div><div><br></div><div>Have you tried any of these beauty products? Do you subscribe to Birchbox or Ipsy?<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggw5tMOoeoWZb5LeqUAVqoqZw6EaUugHqbYyCE4ohPmtnj7wcE3fFSeipc2nAH8qcX5S2TTpUJ17WOQZcZzZDGf-I5qUdB-ItVEKGIlhgdRmtaaVtbjrkn93n-cdKJtBqnVEvgiTqtw80/s640/blogger-image-529395584.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggw5tMOoeoWZb5LeqUAVqoqZw6EaUugHqbYyCE4ohPmtnj7wcE3fFSeipc2nAH8qcX5S2TTpUJ17WOQZcZzZDGf-I5qUdB-ItVEKGIlhgdRmtaaVtbjrkn93n-cdKJtBqnVEvgiTqtw80/s640/blogger-image-529395584.jpg"></a></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14236639688920050374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315833992811310951.post-27475543907154004942014-01-03T07:18:00.001-08:002014-01-03T07:18:41.773-08:00New Years... Resolutions?I don't know about you all but I do not usually make large scale resolutions. I always try and get in the swing of things more when January hits but never make big plans. There are some things I am trying to be better about this year, or at least for a few months haha. <div>-Be more organized. I have been doing some cleaning and am trying to keep it that way! As you can see here is my wardrobe I get dressed from everyday. I have purchased several packs of space saving hangers via TJ Maxx and Marshall's which truly do help your closet and allow you to see all your items!</div><div><br></div><div>-Go to the gym more: I am shooting for at least 3 times per week given my busy schedule and I would also like to do a 5K this spring.</div><div>-No shopping for the month of January! I have sooo many clothes and even got some things for Christmas. I think I can do it and hold off on spring wardrobe purchases until February. However my trips to Target will sure tempt my challenge! I also color coordinate my tops which also help me see things when getting ready in the morning. </div><div><br></div><div>What do you do to stay organized?

Happy New Year!Hello Lovelies!<br />
<br />
Over the past year I have wanted a creative outlet to combine my too loves: health and fashion. So I hope to post about a little bit of everything that many women of all ages can relate to. I love to talk and have loved seeing how the Instagram community inspires everyone for fashion inspiration. (Or just makes us all shop a little more haha)<br />
<br />
I thought that this would be a great time to start a blog on these two subjects with resolutions about health being a huge part of everyone's New Year's plans.<br />
<br />
<br />
So thank you for reading and look forward to a mix of cooking, health, trends and of course, fashion, or as I as a dietitian like to call it, <i>A Healthy Portion of Fashion.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Enjoy!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14236639688920050374noreply@blogger.com2
