Dress: Hale Bob



Earrings




Bracelets: 


And now, the winners of the 
Stella & Dot giveaway!!!

So here's the thing, there are TWO winners!!!!!

I used Random.org & came up with winner #1......



But then I was torn as to if Random's website was the best thing to use.....so while little man was napping, I wrote everyone's name down (the appropriate amount of times based on entries earned), and put the names in a box.


I then had MattyB choose the winner



Winner #2 is VIXIE12




Danielle Own & Vixie 12, please EMAIL ME fashionablyfitfemme@gmail.com

Thanks everyone for entering!!! Stay tuned for more fabulous Stella & Dot giveaways :)

fashion & fitness friday

TGIF - for real. What a week!

What's on your fitness agenda for today!?
The little man & I will be logging a few miles on the jogging strolling. Our weirdo weather here in Florida has dropped to a tolerable temperature where going outside doesn't result in an immediate sweat fest.

Have you taken the time to look into barre fitness classes or dvds? You really should. It's a fusion of dance (duh, ballet) & pilates. I love it. It is one of those workouts that constantly leaves me "shakey" to the point I feel like I'll fall over. Love that feeling.

Go read about Physique57 & The Ballet Physique. Search your area for Pure Barre or Xtend Barre classes.

While you're clicking around, have you entered my Stella & Dot giveaway!? Today is the LAST DAY to enter!!! Get on it :)

So what fashion trends of 2013 are you going to try!?

As said by Glamour mag....here's the top wearable trends for spring! I DARE you to try something new :)

1. Bermuda Shorts




2. Black & White

want to throw in some accessory options?
Stella & Dot Fiona Earrings

Stella & Dot Heiress Hoops in Hematite

see ALL options HERE


3. Peekaboo


4. Statement Sunglasses



5. Bold Stripes



6. Luxe Leather




7. Beautiful Beading


so, if you would rather not wear beaded clothing...you can incorporate this trend by wearing beaded accessories! flats, bag, headband, or jewelry!

look at this gorgeous piece!
Stella & Dot Avalon Fringe



8. Short Suits


modest length short, of course! do not combine this look with the "peekaboo" trend....your butt cheek should not be playing peekaboo with the hem line. just sayin'....



9. Sporty Dresses


with the neckline of these dresses, you should TOTALLY combine with a "pop of color"

like this necklace....
Stella & Dot's Spring Awakening



10. Flats & Low Heels



Spill your beans! Which trend will you try!? Which trend will you avoid the plague!?

sunday fashion post

I haven't done one of these in AWHILE!

I have been looking forward to wearing this dress. I LOVE the color - it's like a deep teal.



Dress: Adrianna Papell via Nordstrom
Shoes: Stuart Weitzman via Rue La La

Here's a better image of the shoes.....

The accessories....

Love a good arm party :)



the one where there's a giveaway

Is this really my first post of 2013? Why, yes. Yes it is.

Blogging has by far taken a back seat in my life. I know many of you can relate!

I thought you should know, MattyB got me a ballet barre for Christmas. I love it. It really does make SUCH a difference in my Ballet Physique & Physique57 workouts.



I also treated myself to a new yoga mat. Courtesy of Target & Neiman Marcus' designer collaboration. It was a sale purchase....don't go getting all huffy. The Target by our house just doesn't ever sell real well on the "designer collaboration" items. I was able to get it on sale when all the Christmas goods got marked down.



So here's the deal. You all know that I'm stylin' & profilin' for Stella & Dot now.

LOVE IT.

We have new pieces debuting TODAY..JANUARY 11th!!!

To kick off this new spring collection, I thought I'd host a Stella & Dot giveaway!
