lulu Love

lululemon Skinny Will Pant

While the trend of fitness and staying healthy has really sparked recently, so has all girls love of everything lululemon. Founded in 1998 in Canada, the company is recently new and hot in the US. The clothing is of great quality, which is shown by their slightly high price tag.

My birthday has recently passed, and as a gift I received a lululemon gift card. I was so excited, because now I could purchase the Skinny Will pants that I had been eyeing for almost a year now. One of my favorite features of these pants is the fact that you are able to chose the waistband height. At the highest level they sit snug over your belly button, which is perfect for those headstands and yoga inversions. Or, you have the option to roll the waist band down to hip height. The length is plenty long enough, which I was a bit nervous about. 

So far I have no complaints about the lululemon Skinny Will pants, and I suggest them to any yogi or girl looking for a slightly different style!

So Long Sweet Summer

After a rainy Sunday, and Fall just a day away I decided to post a little throwback to summer. Here I am wearing a maxi dress by LaFargue Clothing Co. which is new Boston based brand! Proceeds from this brand support MS and Alopecia research. Make sure to throw them a follow on Twitter and Instagram @lafadon

Kimono

Michael Kors Glitz Silver Watch , Ray-Ban Sunglasses , Forever 21 Crop Halter ,  TJ Maxx Kimono [Similar ]

This summer kimono's have been on the top of everyones "must find" list. I purchased this one at TJ Maxx, and they had an unreal selection! I paired it with my favorite Forever 21 halter crop top and a pair of original Levi high wasted jean shorts. I made these shorts this summer thanks to my best friend Rachel, who found an old pair of Levi's at our local savers in my size and for only $5! A simple cut to the length you want, along with a nice cuff can change any mom jean into cute cut-offs.

Fiji

Essie , Target

This summer I found myself reaching for the same nail colors over and over again. My favorite go-to was Fiji by Essie. As much as I love crazy aqua, neon and eggplant nails, every girl should have a classic, girly pink for those not so extreme occasions. Fiji is just that! Finally a great, pastel pink that is actually opaque. Only two coats are needed to get a perfectly creamy color with absolutely no streaks or nail popping through. At $8.50 a bottle, Essie is a little on the steeper end, but if you've been on the hunt for a perfect pastel pink, you can't pass Fiji up!

Fringed

            Blouse [See you monday]

             Beige Pumps [Dollhouse]  

   While me and Michelle have taken the past couple weeks off while in old orchard beach I found this blouse while doing some shopping at the Maine mall..If you keep up with us many of you know I'm a pattern gal so when I saw the fringe and pattern it was pretty much a done deal. Happy hump day as always!

Pretty in Paisley

One Clothing Long Sleeve Romper [Similar], Michael Kors Silver Glitz Watch, Ray-Ban Sunglasses, Charles Albert Neon T-Strap Sandals

Hey Everybody! 

After a beautiful, and very relaxing 3 week vacation in Cape Cod we are back! Here I am wearing a great TJ Maxx find. A paisley romper by One Clothing, for only $19.99. Great rompers are a summer essential, and with the long sleeves you can easily wear this piece into the fall. With TJ Maxx being an off-price retail company, it can be hard to find the same products due to the high turn over rate. BUT thankfully they have created TJMaxx.com so you can find great items even if your local store is all out!

   Acid washed tank [minichica] Jeans [forever 21] Braided sandals [Forever 21] 

   Whenever I try to do a look to pair denim I can't help but think of Brittany and Justin at the VMA'S from the 90's ... So instead of one basic color I paired a darker bottom with a lighter acid wash to bring out the contrast. Pairing denim can be tricky so find what looks best for you!

Sky High

 Beige High Tops [De Blossom Collection] Jeans [Forever 21] Tribal Print Blouse [Forever 21] 

  As you know me and michelle are big fans of high top sneakers. High tops are great for walking and look funky and cool with almost anything. I paired these beige high tops with jeans and a patterned blouse and a bamboo bracelet to give this outfit an earthy feel.

A great weekend always ends with some quality family time! A simple Forever 21 halter crop top and printed maxi skirt makes a fresh summer look for all sorts of occasions. This maxi skirt sits at a great height on the waist, and is plenty long enough for us tall gals. Some layered silver bracelets and beachy waves finish off this look! 

Red White and Blue

Chuck Taylor High-Tops , Ray-Ban Sunglasses , Michael Kors Silver Watch , J.Crew Mens Flannel [Similar ], Forever 21 V-Neck Tank, Forever 21 Cuffed Denim Shorts

Even though there was a little rain, I had a great 4th of July weekend! Everyone loves to be festive and rock their red, white and blue. Here I am wearing a simple white tank tucked into rolled jean shorts. A J.Crew flannel adds a pop of red and my classic Chuck Taylors finish off this American look!

Jay and Bey

Shirt [forever 21] Pants and Earings [Charlotte Russe] 

Last night Jay Z and Beyoncé rocked Gillette and it was amazing. I paired some flowered palazzo pants with a plain white crop top. I wore blue and gold chunky earings and a nude lip. I suggest if you ever get the chance to see Bey and Jay you take up on it. Happy hump day.

Tropic

Michael Kors Gold Watch [Similar], Ray-Ban Sunglasses, Forever 21 Leaf Drop Earrings [Similar], Boca Leche Palazzo Pants

A great family dinner after a round of golf to end a perfect weekend! Here are my favorite go-to pants for the summer when I'm looking for something comfortable and easy. (Who wants to wear jeans in June?) A classic white tank, with some gold accessories and a simple top-knot finish off the clean look!

Sundays

Madden Girl Wedges , Ray-Ban Sunglasses , Michael Kors Watch [Similar ], J.Crew Belted Strapless Dress 

Now that summer is here, my Sundays normally consist of a day hanging by the pool with friends, and a great family dinner! Yesterday I went to a great BBQ restaurant in Worcester called Smoke Stack with my sister and dad. I wore this great J.Crew strapless dress, with pockets! (who doesn't love a dress with pockets?) I carried my usual J.Crew leather hobo bag, with a new pair of wedges I just got from 6pm.com!

Glitz and Glam

For a while now I have been obsessing over jeweled headbands. Most styles are fabric based with an elastic back allowing for comfort and stretch. These headbands are great to hid a bad hairday, rock Gatsby style, or liven up a drab outfit. My favorite is from Anthropology, but I know you can find them at Urban Outfitters, and Forever 21.  So next time you're looking for a new accessory, forget the handbag or necklace and try out a beaded headband. I promise you won't be disappointed!

Take me out to the ball game

     Jean Sneakers [Ralph Lauren] Shorts [Forever21] White blouse [Old Navy] Sunglassses [Ray Bans] Red Sox Hat 

  Michelle and myself went out to the Worcester Bravehearts game last night to watch a little baseball. Comfy shorts and a baseball hat can always add interest to a casual look, and having a cute pair of sneaks is always helpful for summer outings where walking is required.
