I want a bomber puffer jacket for fall/winter.. I want it to be stylish but also practical to keep me warm.. seen any good ones?
This sky colored puffer bomber from Urban Outfitters is AMAZE! Their black one is a bit longer and also super cute. I have my eye on this one from Abercrombie.. love the faux fur detail. And this velvet version OMG heart eyes. Alix has this one in red and it’s SOOOO cute on!
I need a new pair of black flats but I don’t want any gold or silver details.. just plain. Very specific, but I know you can find me some cute options!
My girlfriend just got these from Madewell.. I love the loafer style but these kick it up a notch because they are both leather AND suede! If your foot can handle a pointy toe (I have narrow feet so these work well for me), I love these (40% off!).. so flattering and can be dressed up for work or dressed down with jeans. These flats from J.Crew are also so fabulous for this season!
Heather- are you liking the Pelaton app? Do you have a spin bike or how do you use it? Thinking about trying it!
Yes, I am currently doing the 14-day free trial and so far I really love it. People have told me about it in the past but I have always made it to Orange Theory, yoga, or Barry’s classes on my own so I didn’t think I needed it. However, I have access to a gym at my husband’s golf course and they offer childcare for Parker so I figured I should be utilizing that facility during the week. BUT, I am not the best at creating my own workouts and slack off if I don’t have someone telling me what to do. Enter the Pelaton app! I do NOT cycle.. don’t like it… especially after three kids 😉 so no, I am not doing their spin classes. The app has running, yoga, bootcamps, strength training and cycling classes so you don’t even need a spin bike. You don’t really need ANY equipment if you want to do strength training, body workouts or yoga at home. There are a ton of different instructors leading classes anywhere from 10 minutes in length (for arms, abs, etc) all the way to 60 minute classes (combo of running + strength training). I typically pick the bootcamp classes to re-create a Barry’s or Orange Theory class at my little gym. The coaches are encouraging and they are playing music in the background so it goes by fast. Way better than just running on a treadmill for 30 minutes. I feel like I am in a class with a coach pushing me. I leave the gym burning as many calories as if I had just went to a Barry’s or OTF class. So I will continue with it and pay for the monthly subscription (I think it’s around $60 a month?) and cancel my Class Pass for now. I just don’t make it to classes in our neighborhood anymore with our busy schedules.
I have a 6:30am flight this week and needing snack ideas?!
For early morning flights I’m a big fan of bringing my own breakfast. I typically make overnight oats or chia seed pudding (in a container I can toss at the airport and TSA will let you bring this through). Add some nut butter, nuts/seeds, granola, fruit, or other toppings in the morning. I also like to pack individual nut butter packets, granola, sliced apples or grapes, homemade muffins (these are SO good and hearty), turkey jerky, trail mix, bars (Perfect, Rx, Chia Warrior, BulletProof, Lara) popcorn, and chocolate 😉
Alix can you link the egg cup recipe you’ve been making? They look so good!
Yes, I’ve been on a Sunday meal prep kick and I swear it pays off during the week! This is the recipe I have been making recently (skip the vital proteins). I’ve also made and liked this and this egg cup recipe in the past as well. Hot tip…use silicone baking cups so the eggs don’t stick to the pan. I learned my lesson the hard way!
I’m attending a wedding this month and need a dress.. not black tie but I a more elevated cocktail dress. Have you seen any?!
Here are all the fall wedding dress options that have caught my eye! And any of these would be fab for a holiday party too!
Heather – can you link the hot pink sequin dress you wore this weekend? I couldn’t see all of it but it looked amazing!
ASOS is my jam for dresses and I found this hot pink sequin dress and couldn’t pass it up. It is giving me all the Retrofete Robe Dress vibes except it’s not $600 🙂
I need a long dress for our xmas card shoot – vibe is at our ranch, wearing a light tan felt hat, boots and I need a casual dress but a good print. Thoughts?
I think Anthro might be your best bet for a dress this specific because they have a ton of maxi dress options that could be great options! Thinking this, or this are pretty! If you want something more neutral, I love this inexpensive maxi from H&M. Or this one or this one would be super cute belted! If you have time to order from ASOS, I like this one a lot! Good luck!!
Alix why the morning elixir? What will you do for the no added sugar week coming up? Doesn’t Emergen C have sugar in it?
I’ve been doing my morning elixir ( 1 packet Emergen C + 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar + 1/2 fresh squeezed lemon + 1 cup ice water) for about 4 months now for a few reasons. One reason it forces me to drink 8-12 oz water before my coffee every morning. We wake up super dehydrated and grabbing a cup of coffee before hydrating is setting me up for a day of not getting enough water. I also drink it for the benefits of ACV and as a daily immunity booster (if you take vitamin C when you get sick it’s too late 😉
So I admit I’ve totally been drinking Emergen C knowing there is probably a few grams of sugar, but figured the vitamin c boost was worth it. I didn’t realize there was actually 7 grams of sugar per packet, so I’ve made the switch to Oxlyent which I’ve used in the past and love. I’ve taken these in the past when I travel or after hard workouts. No added sugar and contains similar amounts of vitamins and minerals.
I feel like all my workout clothes are bright summer colors right now and need some more fall/winter cooler tones. Help!
Yes! Gimme all the burgundy, evergreen, grey, black, and camo rn! Workout tanks I love | one grey kitten| two | three | Workout leggings I’m loving | one camo| two dark olive| three smoke, plum, or moss|I just ordered these leggings in the color titanium. I’m also seeing a lot of teal and into it. I got this long sleeve in emerald and modern stripe heathered black white and love the cooler color tones for fall/winter. Hope that helps!
