What I Missed While in Greece

by Jenni in

Now, I am looking at all the articles, pop culture, and news I have missed over the past week and thinking that it simply must be shared. Because, there is the off chance that you also missed all these goodies and that is simply not acceptable. Happy Tuesday and here's to vacations, the internet, cat babies (who are sitting on your lap right now purring, pawing at your face, and thanking you for the tuna you gave them because you completely forgot they were out of wet food. It happens, don't judge), and coming home!

Oh, and you may see a supreme lack of pictures from Greece on this post. Do not fret, there will be PLENTY in the following week.

Another 20-Minute Kettlebell Workout

Because all the 20-minute kettlebell workouts in the world do not satiate my kettlebell workout desire. I looked at this with longing while kettlebell free in Athens.

These Cookies

They are made with coconut oi and oatmeal. Oh, and chocolate, bananas, and magic.

This Tracey Anderson Workout

I have been eating like a true Grecian and apparently, do not have their god-like metabolism to back it up. This flat stomach workout via flat stomach goddess just might be my ticket to normal-size town! Whoowhoo.

This Outfit

Because it's fall and I love it. I mean really, look at it. Do we need a better reason?!

Sopapillas

Full disclosure, I am not sure what is in them or how they are made because I have not clicked on the link. They just look soo good that all I can do is stare, and maybe drool a little.



THINGS I AM LOVING FOR FALL

by Jenni in

How excited are you for fall? I simply cannot wait for this time of year! Not only are the holidays some of my favorites, but the clothes are just splendid as well! I am currently trying to find the perfect pair of light brown knee-high boots that will polish off a few outfits in the making!

Of course, there are also those super trendy fall colors, stylish looks for fall, and a few great make-up tips that will get us all seasonally ready... Even if the season may not feel like it has quite arrived.

How are you feeling about the cowboy and 60's inspired looks this fall?

Burgundy Lips

This look is so classic for fall and so beautiful all at once! I am also loving how it looks on those with copper hair, but especially love the look on all those gorgeous brunettes out there! Not sure how to pull off such a daring lip? Here is a great tutorial about applying a burgundy lipstick. This article is also great for picking that perfect burgundy color!

Slouchy Sweaters

Slouchy sweaters may have been seen here and there last fall, but this year they are coming in a big way! It seems like every fall runway had at least one tiny girl wearing a giant sweater. I loved it! Slouchy sweaters are the best way to get that "I woke up like this" look whether you did or did not. They also go with everything and can be dressed up or down. Thankfully, slouchy sweaters can be comfortably worn in cooler weather or the warm Florida falls.

They are also just so cozy looking. If we had a fireplace, I would roll up in front of it with a coffee, book, and slouchy sweater every day of the year!

Knee [or Higher] Boots

Don't you just love this look? I am obsessed with the slouchy sweater/knee-high boot combo this season! Now, if I could only find those perfect (and budget conscious) medium brown boots! Yes, ankle boots are still in style, but knee highs will always be my jam! If I were looking for a black pair, it would be these in a heartbeat.

Pastels!

Pantone's Fall 2014 colors include many that are simply fun and quite a few that are also pastel! Although my skin tone does not look super great in pastels, I am still happy to see them worn into fall. My favorite just might be the radiant orchid, although the aluminum and sangria take a close second!

This tutorial on introducing fall colors into your make-up regimen is simply fantastic and uses my favorite of them all!

Crop Tops

A good cropped top with a high wasted skirt is perfect for any dress this fall! I am also loving the way it makes all of us look a bit more toned and cinched than we naturally are. Afraid of looking un-lady-like in a crop top? Just know that Audrey Hepburn did it and so did Grace Kelly! The secret between trashy and chic is all in the waistline. Forgo low rise or natural fitting bottoms when you are pairing with a crop top- they will show too much skin and can easily go wrong, no matter how svelte your stomach.

The crop should end and waistline begin at the smallest part of your torso. This will help create those exaggerated feminine lines.
