Nothing beats a refreshing run on the bridge at golden hour. Although, if I’m honest, I’ll admit I get tired and easily bored with daily workouts. So tunes, new gear (hello cute Nike tank!) and changing up my routine are essential. So many of you have asked for my diet and exercise routine. While I will not go into much detail, the five minute explanation is this. I usually run 3 times a week and strength training 1-2 times a week. If I’m fighting the usual 5 lbs, I drink green and dandelion tea, lots of H20, snack on protein snacks like almonds (not empty carbs like chips) and eat balanced meals like rice and chicken (or fish) with veggies. I go easy on the carbs but always make exceptions for the dark chocolate. Everything in moderation, as Granny used to say. It’s tough to say no to a run with THIS kind of view AND new workout gear from Nordstrom. Style note: I included the sizes I ordered. Keep in mind, you can order multiple sizes and easily return the ones that don’t work out. Nordstrom is known for its amazing customer service.

Now, it’s your turn, how do YOU stay motivated to workout?

As we all know, velvet is as hot as Malibu in October. HOT. While we love it because it plays with the light, we wear it because it feels like the coziest throw pillow. No joke. No wonder we’re all going gaga for velvet. Well, I am no exception. Here, I styled it with leather coated jeans, and midi brown boots. At a cool $148, its a great buy. I’ve already worn it three times in two days. How’s that for cost per wear?

I’m working with Nordstrom showing my favorite date night look. I found this under $200, ombré metallic dress from Topshop at Nordstrom. I happened to be wearing this dress when my hubby and I left the restaurant and were walking around downtown Pasadena. It was funny when 5 random people stopped me on the street to tell me how much they loved this dress and where’s it from. It’s funny, the pieces I’m usually on the fence on, usually end up being my favorite pieces! It’s no joke, Nordstrom always delivers with awesome date night dress options but great customer service. As for styling advice, do size up on the dress and add this moto jacket when the temps dip.
Thank you Nordstrom for partnering on this post!

My baby has been requesting sword fights and refusing kisses. Yup, he’s joined the ranks of all the three-nagers. Cue the tears. However, I’m still loving this short time I have with him at home. His questions, his voice and occasional naps while laying on me. The latter I won’t lie is uncomfortable, but its precious. Since I work from home, I love switching it up with flowey pants – a nice change from the faux leather skinnies. And did I mention comfy? Now, off to lots of meetings. Happy Friday Eve!

I’m working with Ann Taylor sharing two favorite looks. Sometimes I really love my job. And going to a fun store to find pieces to style is seriously fun. The other day I got to spend my afternoon at Pasadena’s Ann Taylor choosing pieces with the very lovely Sales Associate, Mariana. There was so much to choose from! From ruffly blouses and well-fitting faux leather leggings (yes! faux leather at Ann Taylor!) to plush coats with a tailored style, I had no trouble finding my eight pieces. Ultimately, it was the latter that sealed the deal. I mean, everybody knows I’m a sucker for faux leather. I styled a go-to career outfit, that also happens to double as a holiday look, and also an everyday lunching-with-friends look. Stock up now before your size is gone. Shop exact pieces here:

One trend I do not foresee going anywhere is the bow tie trend. I personally love it, because its feminine and  simply oh-so-practical with a built-in bowtie.  See 5 faves below from $20 up.

Truth be told, I usually shy away from pink. Even my six year-old doesn’t want her classmates to know if she owns any pink for fear she’ll loose her edge. Whatever her reason, mine doesn’t seem far off. I gravitate to the black ensemble and accessories, hence my Sole Society choices, but I’ll admit I love them styled with a pop of pink. Far from detracting, I have found that pink only enhances the edgy look. Shop my look below, which are all exact pieces, or they’re on my shop page. Happy Thursday!

If you’re curious what pieces I’m loving for fall, it’s the following: faux fur stole, charm bracelets (which are back), lots of leather, and embroidered kitten heels. All SOLE SOCIETY items are under $70, and did I mention that this ($55) faux fur stole can be added to virtually any jacket in your closet for a chic update? It will adorn anything from leather jackets to camel coats. Absolutely try this at home and upgrade your Monday #ootd.
