Dress For Spring

By

^^It’s almost time to bring out the outdoor furniture cushions! We have a deck off the master bedroom up on the top floor of the house, and I never go up there. Firstly, because it’s just a little out of the way (I don’t really want to carry coffee/wine/entertainment through my master to entertain when I have two other options), but also because it’s exposed to the street.

But since my friend Gina gave me a hammock stand she didn’t want anymore, I decided the upstairs deck would be the perfect spot to house it. Thomas has one of those “hang anywhere” kind of hammocks which you can loop around trees in the park, so that’s what I’m using now as a test to see if I should buy a bigger, more relaxing option or if the roof is still not a great place to hang out. We will see!

I read my book up there for a bit the other day and it was quite nice!

The warm weather has me so excited for bare arms and legs! It seems the main trends this spring are poufy arms, one-shoulder, off-the-shoulder, eyelet, lace, and denim.

I love this Renley dress for a spring wedding. Or this similar one with sleeves for when it’s still a bit cool out.

OK, J. Crew, if I wore this top I would get made fun of so much!! But this one is really pretty and in keeping with the eyelet and one-shoulder trends ; ) And I love this dress version, but I’m not sure that the style would look good on my frame.

For sporty events, I love anything Athleta or Title Nine because I can sweat in them and just throw them in the wash. Also, a lot of them have pockets! This Santorini dress is cute, and I love this ombre one too. Is ombre still in style?! And you can’t go wrong with a multipurpose black halter!

For the budget conscious, I love some of Old Navy’s spring items – this dress is casual and cute and I love the nautical stripes. I like the classic navy + linen combo in this one. And they have the one-shoulder trend too – for a lot less $!

I heard about Third Love on the Young House Love podcast, and I just ordered a bra to try! You only pay $2.99 in shipping and you get to wear and wash the bra for 30 days before you commit to the $68 purchase. It’s kind of like Stitch Fix but you can remove the tags and really live in the bra. I love the idea of getting to actually wear something around without tags before committing, especially something as personal to fit as a bra. I got the T-shirt bra (against Sherry’s advice!) because that’s what the bra finder told me to get, so I’ll let you know how it goes!! (I love that companies like Athleta and Title Nine will also take back worn and washed items that you don’t love – it makes me want to buy from them and trust them even more!)

On the little boy front, my Mini Boden catalog came the other day and I think I was more excited about these clothes for Mazen than my own! They are expensive but they are SO CUTE! Well made, too. M would just love these animal shirts (I think my mom is getting him one!).

But look at those gator shoes!! Perfect to wear on Bald Head, right?! They come in shark, too!

How are things warming up where you are?

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
