Stripes And Wedges!

There have been a lot of things going on in my life I am pursuing a new direction in my life.  I have decided to become a Beach Body Coach.  I have always loved fitness and recently I decided to take the plunge and go for it, and it has taken up a little of my time, that is why I have not posted in a little while... I have also had to travel for work making it extra hard to take pictures and do a blog post.  I will post but not as frequently as I used to until I get off the ground with my coaching.  I feel that with everything that I have on my plate I am trying to balance everything as much as I can.  I hope you understand and you stick with me.  I am going to find a way to integrate both my coaching/fitness into the blog since I want this to be a lifestyle blog.

On to the outfit... this was a quick little weekend outfit I out together casual yet chic.  The fabulous necklace that I have on I won from one of my favorite accessories store Sira & Mara each month they choose a fan of the month and I was lucky enough to get chosen.

 I just loves these shoes, I paid less than $20 bucks for them and they are one of the most comfortable shoes I own.

Pants: Old Navy, Shirt: H&M, Shoes: Aldo, Necklace: c/o Sira&Mara, Purse: c/o Naughty Monkey, Hat: It's Fashion, Sunnies: Ray-Ban, Watch: MK

This necklace is absolutely fabulous! It makes any outfit instant chic.

Abstract Floral Pants!

Hey Loves! I have never been big on shopping at TJ Maxx or Marshall's mainly because I feel like you always have to dig to find the good stuff and let's be honest as a mom of 2 I really do not have that time.... But lately i have been obsessed with TJ Maxx I have found shoes, bags, and workout gear.  When I was in Orlando for a work trip I went with my grandmother to TJ Maxx and as we were walking these pants caught my eye and when I check they were my size so I decided to try them on and I am glad I did I love them they are light weight and the print is just amazing the best part is that they were less than $20 bucks!!

 Style Tip: Turn this work outfit to an instant night on the town outfit by taking off the blazer and adding a cute clutch and you are good to go.

Have a good long holiday weekend!! 

Casual Sunday... 2 Weeks Ago!

Hey Loves!! Happy Monday... as you can tell I have not done an outfit post in a little bit now, I have been in a little funk lately and the weather is not cooperating.  I forgot I took pictures the last time we had great weather on the weekend (2 weeks ago) during a family bbq.  You guys must think that I live in my leopard sneaks from Steve Madden (I promise I will give them a rest for the next outfit post) they are just that fabulous and when you have not 1 but 2 toddlers they are really just that convenient to wear and chase after them.  I am super excited about this week since my blog is turning 1 on the 28th!! I putting together a fun giveaway with some of my favorite things so stay tuned for that! Thanks for being a loyal City Hip in Country Zip reader and thanks for sticking by me while things get back to normal around here!!

Hope you all have a fabulous week!!

Mixing Prints!

Hey Loves!! If you follow me on instagram (which you can do so here) I was traveling a couple weeks ago and I wore this outfit and I didn't have a chance to take any pictures since I did not bring my camera... I did not curl my hair like I had on my instagram picture but other than that it is the same.  I love this subtle mix of both the leopard print and gingham it is not over powering and by keeping everything else simple and neutral also the prints to shine.  and I mean you can never go wrong with leopard heels they are a perfect way to add some flavor to any outfit.  Doyou like playing with prints? what are some of your favorite combos?

 

Shirt: Aeropostale (thrifted), Sweater & Pants: Old Navy,Shoes: Nine West via Peltz, Purse: AK, Necklace: Ily Couture (sample sale), Bracelet: Sira Mara (here), Watch: MK, Sunnies: Ray-Ban 

Have a great rest of the week... Here in NC we are bracing for a big snowstorm!! 

Teal and Leopard!

Hey Guys! I loveeeee these pants, the color is fabulous and this was another steal from Old Navy!! I paid less than $10 for them and for a budget conscious mom like me that is one heck of a deal that I just could not pass up.  I went with a simple yet chic work outfit and of course I had to add my fave heels to finish off this look.  I feel that the heels and the feminine ruffles of this blazer makes the outfit playful and chic.  I am looking forward to playing around with different color combos using these pants.  Do you have any suggestions? Let me know in the comment section below.
