Favorite Looks of the Week

As someone who really appreciates photos, it makes sense that I love Instagram. I don’t have Facebook, so it’s my one social media vice. I try not to check it too often, but my self-control totally went out the window during NYFW. I was constantly scrolling through the pictures of the gorgeous shows – J. Crew! Ugh, perfect. Kate Spade? Gorgeous. Tory Burch? I want it all. However, my favorite part was seeing all of the fashion bloggers dressed to the nines. Some of my favorite looks are below. Which do you like best?

Song of Style

The Rugged Man

I bought Sasha this J. Crew Factory Sherpa-Lined Jacket for our upcoming Colorado trip because it was so cheap. I honestly had no idea if he would like it or not, but thank goodness, he took to it immediately and wore it around the house. It is very comfy, I must admit, as I’ve worn it quite a bit myself. The “ultimate GQ man” to me is very rugged – perhaps why I love Colorado as much as I do. Sasha loves this style as well and will be decked out in this very get-up during our trip (I do the packing, of course!). Those MacAllister boots are my favorite, but we had to buy insoles to make them more comfortable. What is your favorite male look?

PS How amazing are those lab boxers? We called them the Belle Boxers (after our pup).

I Love Tulle

It’s official: I have to get a tulle skirt. The perfect fall essential that can be dressed up to a party or dressed down to hang out with friends (see Blair’s layered chambray + checkered button-down combo). I’ve been seeing lots of tulle lately, and I decided that I need to bite the bullet and buy a skirt. I’m leaning towards the Free People About Girl Tutu (number two above). Are you a tulle fan?

Favorite Looks of the Week

Work has been crazy busy this week, and with Sasha in Austin for the University of Texas at Austin MBA in Houston Program’s (a mouth full?)  “intensive week,” looking at fashion blogs before going to bed has been my calming factor. I honestly could not narrow down the number of “favorite looks” – there were so many. In fact, Jennifer (of The Native Fox) had two – she is a real-life Barbie doll though.

I drove to Austin last night, and we’re going to spend the day at Mt. Bonnell and Town Lake. Cannot complain! Have a wonderful weekend, y’all.

Nike Fuel Band

I love running. A lot. In fact, until I started my current project at BP where they have free personal trainers, it was pretty much all I did – 3 to 5 mile run, every day. Now I mix my workouts up and do 3 to 5 miles every second day, with weights and cross-fitness training on the alternating days. Working out is one of my favorite things to do, so I don’t mind spending a bit extra to get good quality exercise gear.

I love my new racerback Lululemon tank so much – I got it in that amazing pink. Their Energy Bra is the best I’ve ever worn. I stick with Nike shorts, as I like a little more coverage than Lulu provides. Nike tennis shoes work best for my pronating feet, and the Drymax socks keep your feet less sweaty than any other competitor.

Last, but not least – the Nike Fuel band. Our Accenture team at BP decided to participate in a fitness challenge recently, and the Partner on the account bought our team these amazing bands. I had been meaning to get a Fitbit for ages, and am now glad I didn’t. I’m fiercely competitive just with myself! I got home yesterday and walked both dogs separately to try to rack up “Fuel Points” and my steps. 15,000? That’s it? Keep going, keep going (a constant inner dialogue). How do you stay motivated?
