In the mix:

  • Skirt: Nordstrom

Katie

Welcome, Katie! How chic is she?! I LOVE those shoes! And it’s so great that they are such a neutral color – you can basically wear them with anything! The dress is such a classic and looks great with her beautiful skin tone. I also dig the belt and the fact that it accentuates her tiny waist – SO CUTE! Katie’s dress and shoes are from Banana Republic and her watch is Tag.

Lindsay

Next up, Lindsay! Now, before we get to the clothes, Linday’s house is STUNNING ;) My wood floors are jealous of her wood floors – I don’t think mine could look that clean if they tried! (And I am jealous of her SHORT SLEEVES!) Anyway, moving on… how adorable is this girl? I LOVE the bag! Is it Marc Jacobs? Kate Spade? I tend to have a good eye… ;) I admire the simplicity of this outfit – it screams casual chic! And look how a sparkly necklace can take an outfit to the next level – so sophisticated!

Marie

SO charming! I smiled when I saw this sweater (p.s. any piece of clothing that truly makes you smile — BUY IT!). She tells me it’s from Wet Seal, and I kind of refuse to believe her! Tell me that does not look like it was pulled straight from Anthropologie! So DARLING! This is the type of sweater I need to feel like spring is in the air! So cute.

Aimee

Never underestimate the chicness that one solid color provides. Aimee looks artsy, stylish AND comfortable! And I love that she decided to change it up at the bottom with a different colored ballet flat. If it were me, THAT is where I would add my pop of color — maybe bright pink, emerald green or yellow — with black as your base-color, you can really go with whatever you’d like! Those pants are great! Are they just skinny jeans or thicker leggings? (jeggings!) Such a relaxed feel – I envey your “cool factor.”

Thanks to all who participated!

Fabulous idea Shannon. You will LOVE becoming a yogi!

I love how yoga makes you feel during and afterwards. During the class you feel challenged and focused. Sometimes the poses are do difficult that all you can focus on is your breath. Adn afterwards you have an amazing sensation of relaxation (and soreness!).

I just bought a beautiful yoga mat (Aurorae) but it needs a case! I’m a yoga beginner right now so my repertoire of poses is very narrow. Thus far, honestly my favorite pose is the tree pose. My real name means ‘tree’ so I’ve always loved trees, but I love the calm found in balancing on one leg.

Fashion Friday, yoga week style! (giveaway alert!)

Happy Friday! Have you entered all the Yoga Week giveaways?

You didn’t think that Yoga Week would take away from Fashion Friday now, did you? Quite the contrary!

be present, a yoga clothing company is giving away YOGA GEAR!

From the company web site:

be present, a clothing line carried in yoga studios, boutiques, spas and resorts throughout the United States and the World, incorporates the yoga philosophy into the design. be present began as clothing for yogis and yoga instructors, and evolved into a company rooted in the experience of yoga, but designed for those who value versatile, simple, comfortable clothing. Yoga is a centuries old eastern philosophy with contemporary devotees, and yoga clothing needed a modern look that embraced and respected the philosophy without being commercial. Our pants are designed to weather the street as much as they are designed to hit the mat. In the years since the first be present pant was introduced, our line has set the industry standard for versatile, agile and mobile yoga pants. be present has consistently been on the forefront of creativity and originality in the yoga world. As the line evolves into a company rooted in the yogic lifestyle but accessible to anyone who values high quality, fashionable and active clothing, we will continue to be a leader in innovative designs.

Pretty cool, huh?

be present is cool enough to be giving away one of their signature shirts. If a man wins, he’ll receive a men’s tee and a if a woman wins, she’ll receive a ribbed tank.

Just because we’re working out doesn’t mean we can’t be fashionable ;)

How awesome are those?!

Yoga week – Day 4 – Yoga Journal (giveaway alert!)

You were just thinking that Yoga Week couldn’t get any better, weren’t you? I’ve giving away a yoga mat, yoga mat sling and Yogi teas, what could I possibly do to compare?!

Well for those of you who are true yogis, you know that yoga is never really “over”. It’s not like you wake up one day and say “ah, that was fun, but I’ve maxed out!” I mean can you ever become TOO focused? TOO balanced? TOO at peace with your body? I think not. There is always more to learn. You are never really “done” learning yoga. I mean, isn’t the whole point that you are always working on self-fulfillment, inner balance and meditation? Even the finest yogis know there is still much to learn. And for those of us starting out, well, we need the most help we can get ;)

That’s why today’s giveaway is so great!

Yoga Journal is giving away a FULL YEAR subscription to the magazine. I cannot even tell you how jealous I am.

To enter, simply leave a comment telling me how much you love yoga ;) Easy, peasy, right?
