Fashion Fridays: Ombre Hair and Hair Chalking

So I'm ready for my Summer look now that my skin has been introduced to a tan. Let's just say last Summer my skin didn't see much of the sun with a 16 week old attached to me.  Now that it's the end of July I'm ready to change up my brunette locks.
 I have to tell you my hair stylist has ombre hair and I just wasn't sure about it when I first saw it. I thought she had lost it or just neglected her locks, but I new better and figured it was a new style that I had missed the fashion flash. The pictures below will help explain "ombre hair" and I'm totally digging it.

I love the hair chalking too.... not sure if I am brave enough though.





So how do you feel about ombre hair or hair chalking?


Luke 12:7

New International Version (NIV)
Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Summer's Trend=COLOR!

If there is one thing we know about fashion this Spring and Summer, it is COLOR!

The other night, a couple of us girls got together for a girls night to laugh, talk about our babies, eat great food and update each other on life.  Of course, we had to get in some talk about fashion and the trends for summer.  We went from swimsuits to colored jeans and all in between.  I was sporting some colored jeans of my own hoping that it didn't cross the line of looking ridiculous!  I have to admit, I have really gotten into the colored jeans this season.  I love bright colors and a little of the unexpected.  So the question came up......What do you wear with colored jeans {which are so bright} and what are the rules of color blocking?   Basically, there are no rules!  Yikes, that sounds scary!  

Sounds like a good discussion and I would love your feedback too!  

Color Blocking is all over the runway, but how do we make it work off the runway? 


Colored denim is a great way to start!  You can seriously find ANY color of denim you want these days. 


I have found my favorite pairs at Target.  Yes, I am a bargain shopper and the Target jeans fit my budget much better than the designer labels.  Since you can't wear a pair of "green" jeans as often as your regular denim, there is no need to put a lot of money into them.  

These jeans from Target are amazing!  They have the perfect amount of stretch and come in so many colors. 

Celebs LOVE the colored jean look too.....

Notice how simple their tops are.  Keeping it simple!

Pair your colorful choice of denim with neutral tops, anything white, beige, or grey.  On the bottom you can wear anything from boots, to sandals and flats.  You are bound to look cute! 

Other options of color blocking look like this.....



I LOVE the long maxi skirt!  Perfect for wearing a great Mom outfit.  Since the maxi skirt is long a flowing, try not to wear with a looser shirt.  Keep it simple up top with a tank that you feel comfortable in.  You can easily have a comfortable outfit that looks super cute.  I have so many maxi dresses that I have worn in past years, that do not seem to fit the best up top and give good coverage.  Guess what my scissors have gotten a hold of.  If you are in the same boat, take these to some one who can sew and make a skirt out of them!  Problem fixed! 

Added bonus, its much easier to dress these days.  Items that you wouldn't typically put together now are the trend.  You could be color blind and be right in style these days.....


If you had to buy one pair of Colored Denim jeans, what would they be???
I am digging these color ankle jeans above! 

 So. Ready. For. Spring!!!

Gym to Preschool....What to wear Fashion Friday!

It's Fashion Friday!  I don't know where you are today, but the weather here is GORGEOUS!  I have thoroughly enjoyed the sunshine beating down on my face, my hair blowing in the wind and the glimmer of spring just around the corner!   God is SO GOOD and his beauty is ALL around us!  

It seems with spring and summer quickly approaching, I am constantly in gym clothes trying to get ready for the dreaded bathing suit season.  We spend a lot of time outdoors at the beach, the pool and in the back yard with sprinklers and inflatable pools.  Therefore, I end up spending a lot of time in a Swim Suit.  Finding a good swim suit is the hardest item to shop for!!  I have had my fair share of Swim Suit Mishaps since becoming a Mom,  and the older my daughter gets, the more she can tug, pull & completely embarrass me in public!

Anyway, being in gym clothes, I also try to avoid looking like a Hot Sweaty mess in public.  Here are some ways to go from gym attire to the grocery store, preschool, daycare, etc and still look put together and cute!


So cute, yet very functional and put together........

My favorite is a good capri legging.  It doesn't show too much, it is form fitting and keeps everything tucked in and can easily be worn out with a jacket.....




Also, a good supportive sports bra!  Take care of those TaTa's.......


Outifts like this are easy to chase the kids around the yard and get a great workout in....

Since you are dressed and ready, Try this awesome workout!  It will have you doubled over in a flash!  Give it all you've got!

I found this and thought it was awesome!
