‘WorkOut Wednesday’ – TRX

January 8, 2014

1 Comment

Happy ‘WorkOut Wednesday‘ Loves! It’s my first WorkOut Wednesday post of the New Year and like many of you… yes I cheated a little and fell off the gym wagon around the holidays, but I’m happy to get right back to my workout routine! In this edition of ‘WorkOut Wednesday‘ I’m sharing with you a little piece of gym equipment called the ‘TRX‘.

The ‘TRX’ helps with suspension training. Basically, the ‘TRX’ gives you the ability to do all the exercises you normally do: squats, rows, bicep curls, pushups, burpees etc…except with an extra with a little extra twist. By suspending the body, the ‘TRX’ makes all these already ‘difficult’ exercises a little tougher by having your body suspended in stir-ups wear your either leaning towards or away from the wall in order to get that extra resistance.

I personally like the ‘TRX’ for some moves like squats, curls, pushups, planking etc…sometimes however, practice makes perfect and it takes a long time to be able to balance in the ‘TRX’ and do the moves properly at the same time!

Have you tried the ‘TRX’?

A Splash Of Color

January 6, 2014

13 Comments

Nothing sucks more than a dreary, rainy day in NYC…it totally brings down your mood, puddles everywhere and usually an excuse to dress cozy and warm rather than fun and flirty. So in order to brighten up on this rainy day I bring you some color inspiration thanks to Karen Kane, Nine West and Hue jeggings.

Yes, you caught me, I’m not rocking this colorful ensemble today…simply for the sole fact that I think if I wore this today the ladies in my office would think I had my seasons mixed up, but still I try to always incorporate color into my everyday outfits! This outfit however I love! I spotted this adorable Karen Kane hot pink moto vest on their website and had to have it…because what girl doesn’t like sporting a little pink every now and again?!

I always try to break up the color with some darker, neutral tones, like these great olive colored jeggings from Hue. If you haven’t tried jeggings or Hue…your seriously missing out on life. They fit any figure like a glove and are reasonably priced. Best part? They come in numerous styles, textures, colors and lengths…making them literally perfect for any girl! They are great to move around in whether it’s at the office, at a club…or simply running around town on a busy day.

Another part I love about this outfit? These Nine West gray pumps with neon pick lining and sole. Something I love about all my clothes, shoes and accessories, is that they all have a little story behind them…these babies are no exception. I scored these limited edition ‘Cameron Silver for Nine West‘ pumps for FREE..yes people free, during there Rockefeller Center store re-launch. I was one of the first 9 people at the store when they opened and received a $100 Nine West gift card which of course I used to purchase hot pink shoes because seriously when else does an opportunity arise to score hot pink pumps for free? Uhh never! Also, Cameron, the designer is incredibly social on social media…making me love him even more every time I wear and post his fabulous shoes!

Anyways, I’m off to another busy day at the FFANY office! Don’t let the rain get ya down and shop my ‘Splash Of Color’ look below 🙂

Let It Snow

January 5, 2014

2 Comments

In case you aren’t from the tri-state area, a quite powerful snowstorm passed through NYC and Long Island leaving in it’s path a ton of snow. Naturally what’s a girl to do with at least 8 inches of snow on the ground? Well take photos in it of course! So while I had a snow day Friday from work, I headed out into the snow in my favorite all black winter get up.

Just because it’s freezing and snowy outside doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your fashion sense! My perfect outfit to battle the snow and cold? My snake print Stuart Weitzman boots, a cozy Via Spiga coat, an oversized sweater and comfy Hue leggings. To tie the whole look together? A pair of great sunnies of course because hey…it may be snowing but that doesn’t mean the sun isn’t shining!

I found these Stuart Weitzman boots on clearance at Saks Off Fifth over a year ago, along with these Hugo Boss aviators. This Via Spiga jacket was one of my best Black Friday scores from Lord & Taylor which I scored over 50% off! Sale pieces always come together to make some of the best ensembles!

Anyway, my point is…a lot of fashionistas slack off in the winter…meaning that sometimes it’s a lot easier to throw on a pair of sweats and call it a day. I’m not gunna lie, occasionally I get a bit lazy and feel it’s a lot easier to dress for warmth and forget about style, but I’m trying to start 2014 off right and mix comfort and warmth with style and fashion…I’m pretty sure they can all co-exist, don’t you?!

As the temperatures continue to decline, be sure to dress warm, stay chic and never loose your personal style, even in the most severe of weather conditions!

Chic Chambray

January 2, 2014

2 Comments

Brrrr….It’s cold in here there must be some chambray in the atmosphere…sorry I had to do that but anyways, point is, it is freezing and snowing in NYC! Of course these photos were taken when it was actually sunny and bearable outside, but this outfit can be worn for any temperature depending on how you style it.

One of the things I love about Chambray is the fact that you can dress it up or down just by pairing it with different outfits. I love this look, a simple pair of gray Abercrombie pants (while I used to feel Abercrombie was soo middle school, I’m actually loving their pants…they fit great and are always on sale!), a chic faux fur vest from H&M, a simple pair of black shooties from Nine West and to add a little extra ‘Pop Of Color’, a red ‘Mini Mac’ bag from Rebecca Minkoff.

I love adding a little extra color to any outfit…what girl doesn’t want to stand out? Another great thing about this look? It’s makes for a great ‘Day to Night’ transition…after a long day at the office this look is perfect for any happy hour!

On a side note, this is my first post of 2014! I can’t believe it’s already January and already a brand new calendar year…is it just me or did 2013 fly by? Well, one of my New Year’s resolutions? Keep up the blogging and hopefully reach an even bigger audience than I already have!
