Fun Facts Friday - Fashion Edition 1

I know I mostly talk about food and workouts, but today I thought I'd talk fashion for Fun Facts Friday. We'll call it the Fashion Edition 1 (so unique right??). I think I was born to shop. Now if only I had the unlimited funds to support this little habit of mine, I'd be good to go. Maybe I should be a personal shopper. Just spend someone else's money.

I've done a post previously on some of my Fashion Faves. I thought it might be fun to do another one. This one will be all about the clothes and shoes. Though, I could probably do one on shoes alone to be honest.

You'll see that I'm fairly brand loyal. A lot of that has to do with where I live too. We don't have an abundance of shopping options. So, I tend to frequent the same stores like The Limited, Ann Taylor Loft, or DSW. I tend to shy away from buying online from brands I'm not familiar with because I never know how something may or may not fit me. I also want to know the texture of the clothing, very important.

So, being limited...I guess in some ways that makes things easier since I have fewer choices, but at the same time, it means half the city has the same outfits or at least same pieces of the outfit.

Favorite Tops, Sweaters, Accessories - The Limited (just bought this outfit)


Another Limited find (on clearance) - can dress up or down easily



Favorite Jeans - Lucky Brand - Lil Maggie


Favorite Skinny Jeans - Gap Always Skinny (have these in 3 different colors)

More Shoes - Like these wedge booties by Madden Girl also from DSW

These are just a few of my recent finds. And while I love to shop, I don't love full price. So all of these were bought either on clearance, on sale, or with coupons (or a combination). Sometimes it's all about finding a bargain that makes shopping so much fun. And now I want to go shop.

What are some of your favorite fashion brands? Do you have a wide variety of shopping options where you live? Do you tend to stick to what you know or just go with whatever based on fit and price?

Daily To-Enjoy List:
  • Sunshine

I Run to Feel Alive

Today is National Running Day . Guess what I did this morning? Cycling? Nope. Lifting? Nope. I bet you thought kickboxing right? Nope. Running? But of course! I actually sort of planned my running days this week just so I could participate this year. I didn't get to run last year and didn't even know about it the year before. But running has become such an integral part of my life and who I am, that I couldn't miss this year. Basically, I run to feel alive . It calms me, it helps me work through life, it's often a reason to get out of bed. No matter how tough a run is, it makes you feel ... period. My plan was to get in 5 miles (got in 5.5 actually). It was about 10 degrees warmer this morning and definitely more humid. That always makes for a tougher run. We decided to take a different route today. Well, it was really only a few streets over different, but still. The point is we took a different street. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. I did realize th...

KIND Bar Review + Apple Raisin Wheat Berry Salad

Weights & Step As much as I wanted to run today, I knew there was no getting up early enough to do so. Monday's are hard enough without getting up at 5 am to run. Yawn ... So, today I did my weights at lunch then cardio after work. Weights were pull muscles (biceps and back). I did 3 sets of 8 reps of the following: Biceps : Alternating curls Cross-body curls Zottoman curls Back: Single-arm horizontal row Underhand DB rows Double arm rows It was a pretty good workout. I felt pretty strong today for some reason. Love it when that happens. My legs were pretty sore from yesterday's workout, so I opted for a lower intensity cardio: Cathe's Low Impact Circuit - Cardio Only Premix plus abs. It was a great workout and helped to loosen up my legs. KIND Review I have been very remiss with my review of the KIND bars that I won from Jill @ My So Called Health LIfe . I won the Nut Delight. I don't know why, but I expected it to be a tad softer...
