Stay Stylish

Now, this is a blog dedicated to being fast while helping keep you stylish, less hungry, and more pretty. On this fine Monday I'm focusing on my rules on staying stylish. There's a common misconception that looking put together takes a lot of time and effort. Maybe thats why we see so many people in their pjs (seriously, stop it).   

Here are six of my go-to style tips to help keep you and your look on point.  

1.

Every Sunday I look at what my week has in store for me and plan out my outfits for each appointment, shoot, or event. 

2.

Always, always, have that one outfit that works no matter what.

3. 

Speaking of, don't be afraid to wear the same outfit combination more than once. When you put an outfit together and it just works, keep working it!

4.  

Be authentic. I say it all the time. If you hate a trend don't wear it! Personally I'm not about the cold shoulder look. One shoulder sure but I hate the line the off the shoulder look makes.

5.  

Please don't wear 30 trends at a time. But one I'm absolutely obsessed with right now is statemenmt earrings!

6.

Don't force your own personal style into a box. You hear a lot of words like feminine when people describe their style and while that may be true for some it doesn't have to be for you. For example my style varies and changes all the time and there isn't anythng wrong with that. I try to just stick with a word. Chic.

Style is much more interesting than fashion. Really.

Easy Mixin'

Happy Tuesday!

Pregnant or not sometimes putting on clothes feels like the last thing you feel like doing. That's why I am always ready to share an outfit that just works. This is such a good combination when you don't feel like thinking but do feel like looking pretty.

Stripes, leopard print, a pop of color on your feet, and a perfectly stylish bag to elevate the look. This outfit combo can be made into so many different outfits. The possibilities are endless!

Pesto, Please!

Nothing feels more like summer than fresh herbs! My favorite one to do anything with is hands down Basil. You can do so many things with it! I love having pesto on hand because well, it's delicious but also versatile. This fast pesto recipe is perfect for throwing on pasta, adding to your grilled cheese or in this case putting it on salmon! Yum!

  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 bunch of Basil
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1-2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 gloves garlic
  • salt to taste

This is as easy as cutting your stems from the Basil and mince your garlic (you don't have to but it helps make it quicker), throw everything minus the lemon and salt in a food processer and mix, then as those.

Any time I make salmon I always have to have pesto with it. It's the perfect addition!

Enjoy your Tuesday!
