I just spotted this and fell in love! J. Crew is so on it! Instead of wearing your hubbies/boyfriends/whoever's top to bed...you can get an elongated shirt dress version from J. Crew for $68 in such cute prints! I want it now!!!!!!

DIY inspiration: Tory Burch Resort 2013 shoes
Something fashion-y for you to watch: Window Dressing | Ep. 1 | Tipped
A new webisode I'm checking out because of Daily Candy and I thought I'd share!
The look for less: Cargo jacket with leather sleeves
Tried finding the military jacket with the leather sleeves from American Eagle Outfitters and can't seem to find it online...most likely it's in store.
Another tip, get a AE card and get a discount...it's not a credit card...just a rewards card. Also, check-in and get a discount as well. They always get rewards for anything you do:)

On my search I found that ASOS and ZARA had had styles like this too...I think Burberry was the designer who started the trend though.

Kardashian stuff for sale on eBay
I am watching a Kardashian special on E! and decided to check out Kourtney's website. Right away I read a post about the Kardashian ladies selling items on eBay and had to check it out. My favorite pieces are from Kris and Kourtney. The items are still on auction for 8 more days so I can't tell how much things are go for...but, I'm crossing my fingers. Had to share the items that are catching my eye. What do you think, will things sell for a lot???

Introducing my new favorite fitness blogs
After having my first child, who is now 2 I became engrossed in hip mommy blogs. I loved the idea of seeing other mommy's who weren't giving up their love of fashion as well as their identity after having their kids. But, rather made it all work together. Here is my list of go-to mommy blogs. I would just add Oh Joy that I recently read. Which, I've heard even ladies that don't have kids are reading now because they say that mommy blogs are the most relatable and feel honest.
Now enters the fitness blog...I would have never even thought of looking up one until I read the amazing article Chalkboard magazine wrote about them (they also have a really great fitness section!). I can't wait to dive into these blogs since I am so into losing my baby weight right now. With my first pregnancy I gained around the same weight and lost it through running which took around 6-8 months. Now, we shall see...I've noticed that just 2 years has changed how my poor body reacts...I can now tell that I've left my 20's and have entered into the ow that hurts arena. I've been doing my everyday run with the kids which I have to say is also pushing a stroller of 3...at least 50 pounds! And my knee and ankle started hurting so I hadn't run in 2 days and felt like I was going to gain 5 pounds in those 2 days;) Thank goodness I didn't. But, here are the blogs I plan on following for encouragement and inspiration. Hope they help you as well!
Side note:
Stylist June Ambrose is a great person to follow on twitter or Instagram to get her #stylefit posts sharing workouts and great, healthy recipes.
The Fitness Blogs:
-Fit Bottomed Girls-sounds exactly like moi:)
-Blogilates-already planning on trying their easy, healthy cookie recipe with just 3 ingredients, bananas, oats and raisins!
-Huffington Posts Healthy Living Blog
-The Fitnessista-a mom and a military wife! Can't wait to see what she is all about!
-FitSugar-I already love their other sites so I can't wait to see their trendy, fashion perspective on staying fit.
Do you have any fit blogs you'd recommend?

Gift Guide: Beauty Treats
I think that beauty items can be a really great gift. Everyone loves something new and it's also a gift that is a little bit of an indulgence so everyone doesn't always buy fun cosmetics for themselves. The first thing I would do is get an annual membership to Birchbox. It's a $100 fee or $10 a month (for women, men are $20 a month) and the recipient receives a package every month with sample size items and something full size items to try. It's soo much fun! I have it and love it. After you receive the cool items you can go to the site and get a discount on the item you fall in love with. It's GENIUS!
If $100 is not in your budget. Or, you don't think your friend/family member will like samples every month. Here are a few fun options to consider in the beauty department.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all things Josie Maran! This is ONLY $28 and the bag is just too cute with the Moroccan theme! This would be great with a Moroccan style mirror and a Moroccan theme book. You see I like the theme gifts:)
I want to try this soo bad! I love anything that fills in the eyebrow easily.
Anything with the signature print/logo for Henri Bendel is tres' chic.
Lovely lipgloss works for anyone.
I've been wanting this color so bad lately!
