Im Back....Again!!!!


Hey Stylistas!!!! I have been on a much needed break from a lot of things that keep my life super busy. Even though blogging is one of them I still love it! Plus I had a little bit of bloggers block : ( Anyway I'm back now. I have been working on a lot of things to better my life, better me as a mom & wife and just me as a person! I am working on starting a business......that's all I'm going to say right now LOL I cant tell you anymore about it until it time! 

Here are a few things that have been doing since the last time we talked:

Remember that dress I got last week while this is how I style it! Please excuse my hair I had been out all day running errands. I don't know why I never take pics while I'm out! 

My 9 month old........yes he is only 9 months LOL hard to believe right! Well he has been really trying to walk lately. So happy for him!


OMG! I think I must have looked at this picture a million times in my cell phone! I went to the Marine Corps Exchange and saw this bag. It was a big $360!!!! A little.......A LOT over my budget LOL but I really want it. As I was shopping I walked around the entire store with it on....hahahaha! Honestly isnt the style and that color so awesome!!!!


My parents brought this for my oldest son and I went to go pick it up at my local Toys R Us. He loves water so I was very grateful for this. 


My husband was working so I put this together myself!!! So proud of me!!! It turned out great!


I also did a little shopping at Forever 21 my favorite store. Shorts are always a spring and summer must have to a closet. I honestly cant remember the last time I wore a pair of shorts so I brought two pair plus this cute top. I need to get my wardrobe up for a few events I have planned in the next couple of months. 


These pair I have yet to find a top for.....but I was thinking if I cant I can always do a cute fitted white tee and cute silver sandals!!! 

Now time to get these squats in!!! LOL 
Until next time stay stylish : )

Denim & Trends

Denim & Trends
 
 
Its BBQ time!!!! Memorial Day weekend is coming up fast and I know you fashionistas are already preparing outfits. Well I have a few that I would love to share with you! Since I have two little boys I like to be comfy when I am out at gatherings. I love looking cute but I'm not going to lie comfort definitely comes first in my book! *Two finger snaps* LOL
 
The first outfit is a lightweight sweater, denim distressed shorts, oxfords, and cool pair of Ray Ban shades. It could be used for a cooler day or night time bbq. The middle look is a bright yellow maxi dress, denim vest, cross body bag, and cute sandals. This look is so breezy and cool, it could even be worn on the beach. The last outfit I think is my new fav look. So full of awesome trends for this spring and summer. The denim jumper, cropped tank, lightweight scarf, and white converse. I would wear this all the time!!!
 
 
 
I got this tank dress at H&M and I still haven't worn it. So I was thinking of wearing it this weekend! I have to admit its a little out of my comfort zone but that was my aim. I am looking forward to seeing how I style this awesome rock star dress!!

TGIF


TGIF!!! Its funny how Fridays get me so motivated LOL! You would think it should be Monday which is the start of the week but my day is actually Friday. One reason is because get to spend family time and plus I just love the weekend! Any woo, I am still on my fitness journey but I have been slacking a LOT! Which has never been me but since moving to California and staying at home more I have really been out of myself. And lately I have been trying to get ME back. I have never been the workout type and I have always been naturally slim. After having two kids and getting older over these last 4 years of my life my body has dramatically changed.
 
I find myself not having any motivation so I decided to basically wing this experience. Here are a few tips I have picked up along this journey.
1.Be realistic with your fitness goals
2. Keep track of all progress
3. Don't expect perfection
4. Don't compare yourself to others
5. Make it fun
6. Make it convenient
7. Reward yourself
 
Another thing that gets me motivated is reading a book every morning called Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. Its a book full of devotions for every day of the year. It is an awesome book to have and it really helps make my day so much better. Gives me a better outlook before my day even gets started.

The Game

 
 
 
I don't watch much TV anymore but when I do I have my fav scheduled shows. My Tuesday nights consist of the shows "The Game" and "Lets Stay Together". I don't know how many of my viewers have been keeping up with The Game but it is AWESOME!!! I been a fan since season 1. I just really wish it was more than 30 mins long. I go crazy waiting until the next week for the new show. The show should definitely be a hour long. Even though I am team Melaine and Derwin all day LOL, my new fav has to be Lauren London and Jay Ellis. They are so cute together and I cant wait to see where the season leads with them. They even look good together off screen.
 
 
 
Lauren's fashion is on point! She wears a lot of one piece jumpsuits, prints, and very cute dresses. Even in her regular life she has always had a very normal chic look. That's what I love about her she seems to be a regular woman.  Her hair is always simple and flawless and her makeup compliments are outfits. She is also a stylish mom! Here are a few of her looks below:
 
Lauren is the one in the cute floral print jumpsuit in the first pic! One of my fav looks on the show
 
Love the red on red!
 
The outfit is from Rihanna's new collection and isn't more than $150!
 
Love the olive color on her skin tone!
 
Latest trend the black and white!
 
 
So simple in the middle but still very cute!
 
 
Love her hair color here. I been thinking about something maybe a shade darker for myself. This look is very chic but relaxed. The detailed collar necklace with the collar shirt is a great tip!
 
 
How do you like Lauren London's style? If you watch who is your favorite character or couple? Who's style do you like the best? Leave me some comments and let me know!
Until next time, Thanks for keeping up with The Style In Me!

What I Want Wednesday!!!!

 
So not sure if you all have heard of a website called http://www.nastygal.com well I always see it being advertised on my Facebook page. I also stated following them on my instagram. I know they are a little bit out of my price range so I look but not really look if you know what I mean LOL. But yesterday I spotted a dress on their instagram that made me have to go check out the site more than I normally do. To be honest the prices really aren't as bad as I made them out to be in my head. My husband started telling me that I'm starting to get cheap when it comes to buying something for myself but I guess I was looking at it as if I can find it cheaper. Then he told me of course you get what you pay for and sometimes you need to pay for good quality. I was never the "cheap" buyer until I had kids. I think a lot of moms slack themselves in order to get better things for their kids. But if you have the extra money buy something that you know will last a long time, an essential that you can wear and feel expensive without really breaking the bank!
 
There are a ton of great things on this site but here are a few things I found that I LOVE! Check them out.....
 
This is the dress I was talking about.....isn't it AWESOME!!!! Great romantic date night dress with the other half. I really love the off the shoulder look on this dress because it brings out the sexy!
 
 
A great wedge is essential and this color is great for spring and summer! Loving the around the ankle type of strap.
 
 
Anyone that knows me already knows my love for flats.....and flat sandals are even better! This one here gives off a chic look that is definitely my style.
 
 
I don't think I have ever worn print on print anything LOL but I would love to try this season. I saw the crop top and knee length skirt look on a favorite blogger of mine last week. So when I saw this look I knew I wanted to do it! Hopefully one day you will see me in it and rocking it.
 
 
I am a big fan of cut out shirts. You can of course dress them down or up and change them from day to night with different accessories. These next three are great because they look thin enough to wear on a cool spring or summer night. Especially when you know you may be going somewhere that the ac is blasting like the movies or some restaurants. Long sleeve chiffon shirts are the way to go without having to wear a jacket all the time.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I really hope my "What I Want" list has inspired you to go check out the site and also check out the things I have listed today! The links are below the pics : )

New Hair

So I finally cut my hair!!! Again! I wish I could've taken better pics this day but I was rushing and it was windy and rainy. The face shot I took during lunch at McDonald's and then the back is a my husband's job. No more ponytails for a while. Maybe next week I will add color. My hair is very dark brown but I want it to be much later. Change is my new best friend : )
 I need to figure out how to style short cuts. My main
hair goal is to have healthy hair.

What do you all think of my cut? What hair color should I get?

RELAX!!!!



Untitled #15

 
So my lovely readers, I have been under the weather for the past week. I thought it was my sinus then it turned into a full blown cold. I have been trying to rest as much as possible. Being sick and having to stop doing a few tasks, gave me time to think about my life and future. I am doing a few things right now that aren't making me happy and I have a few ideas in my head that I felt like may only be there because I saw someones success. I realize everyday what God has for me its for me. I may not be doing what I want right now but God makes no mistakes. After reevaluating myself I feel very blessed and ready to get to a fab weekend! Sometimes you just have to sit back and think back over your life. And know that you are blessed no matter what your situation.
 
I know a lot of Mother's Day events are going on already this weekend. I am hoping to do a bunch of things between now and next Sunday. Most of all I am looking to enjoy myself. Being a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me and I believe its one of the biggest blessings any woman can wish for. I am hoping to get some spa time.....I definitely need it! Even though I cant imagine my life without my boys, I definitely need some peace and quiet mommy time. Maybe I can get a half of day to me.......hint hint to my hubby!
 
Anyways, the above outfit I am loving! What doesn't say Mother's Day like a cute print! This jumpsuit is saying it all! I am a big fan of jumpsuits they are stylish and so easy. This outfit can be worn to Mother's Day brunches, hanging with your friends, church, etc.......its very versatile. Throw in this lovely Spring color Michael Kors tote bag, Madewell sandals that I want by the way, and some cute arm candy!!! You are set to go!

Last post I told you I would keep you updated on my workouts. Well yesterday I went to the gym for the first time in a whole year. I'm naturally small figured but I am so out of shape. My main goal is to get fit and healthy so I can have more energy for my boys because they have a ton LOL plus it will make me feel great. I am going for a walk today. I haven't really been able keep up with the squat chart but I am up to 50 a day and 50 crunches. Hopefully I can get back to actually doing more posts next week. But until then see ya later!
