Fashion Friday- It’s a Chambray Kinda Day

I’m pretty sure that I’ve done a Fashion Friday with a similar theme before, but as I was gathering items to feature, I realized that I had a lot of blue stuff. And I found the most amazing chambray jacket, which settled it- I had to do a chambray Fashion Friday.

People aren’t kidding when they say that a chambray shirt is a closet staple. I wear mine all the time- normally as a jacket. It goes with pretty much everything and even looks cute with dresses. Here are a few adorable options if you’re looking for a chambray shirt-

chambray shirts

1/ Loft Faded Chambray Shirt 2/ Anthropologie Etta Chambray Pull-over 3/ J. Crew Factory Classic 4/ Loft Dark Chambray Shirt 5/ Old Navy Chambray Pull-over

The Old Navy pull-over (#5) is only $12, so you have absolutely no excuse not to add a chambray shirt to your wardrobe 🙂

I know- it’s not chambray. I’s not even blue. But it’s just so dang cute and quirky- I couldn’t pass it up.

I think I might just love this. Part chambray shirt, part denim vest and part military jacket. And those are some pretty good things 🙂

Fashion Friday- Baby It’s 80* Outside

On the odd chance that you’re reading this and not from Southern California, I thought I’d talk a bit about the weather around here. I think it must be seriously confused- we’ve been having highs in the mid-80’s this past week or so. It feels less like January and more like July- not that I’m complaining too much- shorts and tank tops are always great with me. So if you notice a lot more summery clothing in the mix today you’ll know why.

Gauze Babydoll Dress

Fashion Friday- Workout Edition

I think most people who exercise on a regular basis will agree that having cute workout gear is a huge plus to working out. Between that well-known fact, and the exercise related New Year’s resolutions that some of you may have made, I thought it would be a good time to do a workout themed Fashion Friday.

53303f49a4a281d009101eb4dd4ed0b0

The majority of my workout gear is from Old Navy– I love their Active brand- it’s all good quality and fits well.  They’re having a huge Active sale until 1/15- everything is 40% off right now. So a lot of my picks for this week are from Old Navy, with a few other brands mixed in, and a couple workout ideas for you to try. 

Compression Capris

cn7225240

These pants are very similar to the Old Navy capris that I bought at least 9 months ago- the quality is excellent and they fit perfectly. I wear them practically every day and they haven’t stretched or pilled.

Tone Up Tight Workout

20130803182948-tone-up-tight-routineI tried this the other day, repeating the circuit three times like they recommend, and it felt like a really good workout. Their time frame is about right- it took me around 18 minutes, so it’s great if you don’t have a ton of time.

Padded Sports Bra

cn5617372

Another thing I own and love- a perfect amount of support and super comfortable.

Sweaty Bands Chevron Slide

_8534091

My mom got one of these headbands for her last birthday and she loves it. It’s so cute and it stays in place during the workout.  And they have a ton of colors and designs to choose from.

Nike Air Cross-Trainers

nike tennis shoes

Since I got these for Christmas, I’ve worn them running, walking, hiking and to bootcamp and I love them! Travis said that it looks like Dr. Seuss threw up on my feet, but personally, I like the bright colors- they look really cute in person.

Give Me 50 Workout

20130803182954-give-me-50

This looks like a good one.

Semi-Fitted Tank

cn7252402

This is so cute- I love the colors and fit.

Side Mesh Running Shorts

I’m wearing these very shorts as I write- needless to say, I love them.

The Core Challenge Workout

20130803201027-the-core-workoutI sometimes wonder about the pictures that they put with these workouts- if I do the workout, will my abs look like this gal’s? 😉 Haha but seriously, this looks like a challenging and good workout.

Fashion Friday- Music Edition

Music is my escape. My mom will tell you that my iPod, or some form of music (whether it’s Spotify, Pandora or YouTube) is almost constantly playing in my room.  I have a very eclectic taste in music- so it’s not unusual for me to listen to folk, country, pop and dubstep all in the same week. Normally though, I tend to gravitate more towards sort of folk-ish, mellow music. Artists like Andrew Duhon, Ray LaMontagne, Amos Lee, Norah Jones, Joshua Radin, Jack Johnson and Corinne Bailey Rae are some of my staples.

It’s actually surprising to me that I haven’t talked about music at all on our blog, considering how much I love it. I know that technically it’s not fashion-related, but it’s definitely an obsession, so here’s this week’s music themed Fashion Friday.

Here are some songs/CD’s/artists that I’ve been absolutely loving recently.

I Am by Crowder

i-am

I just heard this song for the first time the other night and I love it. David Crowder’s voice is amazing. How He Loves, another one of his songs, is one of my all-time favorites. On an unrelated note- isn’t the cover of this album so cool?

Andrew Duhon

custom

This guy’s voice is incredible. I love his song Shelter You Through. I can only find live versions of him on YouTube, but I think that he’s one of those few people who actually sound better live. When my mom listened to one of his songs the other day, she said he reminded her a bit of Van Morrison, one of her favorite artists, which leads to my next featured song….

Brown-Eyed Girl by Van Morrison

It’s an oldie but a goodie.

Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) by Hillsong United

One of my absolute favorite worship songs. Beautiful and so meaningful.

Play It Again by Luke Bryan

I told you my taste in music was a little random.

Peace on Earth Christmas CD by Casting Crowns

Casting-crowns-peace-on-earth

This is an amazing Christmas CD- I love the first song on the album, I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.

Jack Johnson

jack-johnson-from-here-to-now-to-you-album

Jack Johnson may be the artist that I’ve most consistently listened to for the longest period of time. I just never get tired of his music. Better Together, is of course, one of my favorites, but I also love Do You Remember, Adrift and Constellations.

 Dream a Little Dream of Me by Michael Buble

Michael Buble’s style of music is so cool- very big band.

Black River by Amos Lee

51YCCHTCGJL._SL500_AA300_

His music is so mellow and relaxing. Sweet Pea is another favorite of mine.
