Fun little pairing today with the lovely Shannon from Style With Shannon. A fellow mother of two, I was immediately drawn to Shannon's laid black glam. The gal is seriously effortless and I just adore her feminine mixes. Case in point, her drop waist dress is absolutely perfect for a night out--not to mention I have been clocking her BAG for months now! I chose to go with a daytime look and this Drop Waist Stripe Dress fits the bill perfectly. You could even toss on some heels or chucks depending on where your day takes you. Alright, gang, still time to enter the ShoeMint Giveaway, I will announce the winner Friday! Make it a good one!
Told ya I was in a dress mode right now--with this dang heat, they're my current go to! So this Smock Dress I am adoring these days (wore it THIS WAY on Sunday). Not only does it take me back to my childhood a bit with its fun & flowy shape, I'm a sucker for anything gingham, and as stated previously--it's perfectly lightweight for this scorching heat! What is in heavy rotation for you this summer? Also, make sure you head over to yesterday's ShoeMint Giveaway and enter to win a pair of ShoeMint shoes. Make it a good one!

Aside from the fact that this Frock is insanely affordable, I was immediately drawn to the fun graphic & its midi length. While I wanted to keep it more daytime with flats, I def intend to pair it with a fun Pair of Heels for an evening out. While in Florida, I went a little dress crazy and snagged several printed frocks--have you all spotted any fun printed dresses lately? I'm in a major dress mode right now and would love to hear. Alright, gang, enjoy the weekend and make it a fabulous one!

She's a damn bastard, I curse her in my mind for 90 seconds and try to distract my pain with my To Do list as she's making me feel like my abs are going to pop out of my skin. You know who she is---it's that little bit*h the PLANK! Reverse chair, pretzel, knee dancing, wide second, pushups, band abs--you know 'em, they're all hellacious and yet, I've kept coming back to em' faithfully for FOUR years. It's Pure Barre sprinkled with a side of Barre Cardio of course! I've been asked here lately what my workout is so I figured with bikini season in full swing, it was about time I did another Workout Post. It's really about whatever suits your fancy and gets you motivated to break a SWEAT. And while I consistently give Mandy and Pottsy the stink eye, they (along with all the other fab instructors) have the ability to keep my body challenged and my mind motivated! Another point I think is important to get you in the zone is your gear. It sounds silly I know, but I'm of the mindset that if you feel less than stellar going into your workout, your mind probably won't push you through the burn and keep you from wanting to bail. So I was definitely amped when SWEAT & Pure Barre Lexington introduced some new lines to their workout wear arsenal. 15 Love, Karma, & Splits59 are some of my new fave lines they're carrying. Look, I'm always going to wish my hind didn't jiggle (ain't happening), but let me tell you, the pants from Splits & 15 Love will keep that backside looking about as good as it's gonna get and they're crazy comfy. Lexingtonians, make sure you swing by PB & Sweat and check out the new gear--it's pretty great! As for the non-Lexers, Pure Barre's are popping up all over the place--highly recommend! Make it a good one, gang!
