Thursday Trends

Here goes. I used to blog about fashion when I was in the fashion industry, but stopped once I became a personal trainer. So, I'm going to start it back up with Fashion Friday.

I recently got these new clutches from Shop the Other Stuff. They're completely adorable and perfect for someone like me!

I can take one on a date with my husband, and then the next morning throw it in my diaper bag. It carries all the essentials you need; money, lip gloss, credit card, and keys. So much better than lugging something else on your shoulder. I know my shoulders need a break sometimes after carrying my diaper bag around 24/7.

Rayban sunglasses are always my go to. The gold in the frame is just the perfect touch of elegance for any outfit. Tee is from Bee Mine Sunshine. Skinny jeans from Old Navy. I get most of my jeans from there. They're the perfect price and fit! Mine never stretch out. I can wear them for daysssss (I won't tell you how many) without them looking much different from day one. Shoes are from Clarks. I bought them two years ago for a trip to France. I wanted something stylish and comfortable. Best money ever spent. I walked all around Paris without one blister or foot ache. Seriously. Get their wedges! Bracelet is from A Little Dolly. She makes the cutest little beaded bracelets with charms. The bracelets are mainly for babies and toddlers, but also makes matching mommy and daughter ones! 

#Twinsies for Father's Day

A couple days late in the game, yes, but I figured you could at least stick this in your pocket (or bookmarks tab) for next year or use it for a cute birthday idea.

I looked through lots of Etsy stores for matching father daughter bowties and bows. There wasn't anything that I could find! There were of course matching bowties for dads and sons, which are adorable, but not what I wanted. So, I started out on a DIY adventure...

I looked high and low for a tutorial on headbands and bowties for a daddy daughter matching day, but again there weren't any, so the next best thing was just to look at two tutorials separately. Come to find out, you make them the exact same way ( at last for the easier no sew option).

I could show you step by step on what I did to make both the headband and bowtie, but there are already so many great tutorials:

Here and Here

I attached elastic to both the bowtie and the headband, but I think a clip on the bowtie would actually be better. There is a smaller elastic on the bowtie, because it was going to be hidden under a collar and a fancier one for Hallen's headband.

They haven't officially worn their twinning accessories out yet, but they were kind enough to model how adorable they both looked for Kevin's first Father's Day.

I also bought them daddy daughter Pura Vida bracelets.  They have the most adorable baby bracelets! I ended up buying the new gray anchor bracelet for Kevin and "wish you were here" bracelet for Hallen. They don't match, but it's the thought :) )and Pura Vida bracelets provide jobs for people in Costa Rica). I wanted everything to be cutesy for his first Father's Day.

So, I hope this is a little inspiration for next year if you do have a little girl. She can still match her daddy. If you have boys as well, go ahead and make an extra bowtie!
