As I promised in my previous post, I took my athletic-wear from the mat to the streets. After an outdoor yoga session, I went downtown for a coffee and some window shopping with a friend. I kept my Fabletics top on, but I swapped my sports bra for a lacy bralette. I put on one of my […]
Athleisure Outfit Ideas: From Yoga to Street Style (Part One)
I’ve never been one to wear athletic-wear outside of the gym. While most of my friends have always been down to grab coffee or run errands in Nike shorts and a tee, I’ve always been more comfortable throwing on a cotton dress and sandals. It’s not that I think I look more put together, it’s just that […]
How I Got Featured on Lauren Conrad’s “Chic of the Week”
As with many of my peers, an embarrassingly large chunk of my adolescent life was spent watching, discussing, and idolizing the teens on MTV’s Laguna Beach. I was so obsessed that I somehow suckered my parents into driving me to Laguna Beach while we were visiting my brother, Matt, at school in L.A. I traipsed around the […]
The Long and Skort of It: My Nordstrom Rack Shopping Haul
My job consists of helping people pick out clothes all day. It’s safe to say that by the end of my shift I am just about crawling out of my skin with the need to go shopping myself. So Friday after work, I decided to trek to Nordstrom Rack in Burlington just to ‘take a […]
Healthy Chunky Monkey Yogurt Bowl
As much as I try to acquire a taste for yogurt, it hasn’t seemed to happen yet. It’s such a convenient and healthy snack, but something about the taste and the consistency just doesn’t work for me. I love frozen yogurt, of course – anything with unnecessary sugar added to it usually agrees with my […]
Book Review: My Paris Dream by Kate Betts
I constantly dream of packing up and moving to Europe. (Maybe not the packing part, actually, considering one of my biggest anxieties about said dream is how I would transport all of my clothes.) During the winter I downloaded Duolingo, an app to help me relearn the French that I’ve forgotten since my high school days. […]
Go Bananas With These Nutella Muffins
A few weeks ago, I received back to back notifications on Instagram. For a second I thought the app was malfunctioning and had tagged me in the same item twice. I then realized that two of my best friends had tagged me in the same @ChocolateCoveredKatie post: Homemade Nutella Banana Bread Muffins. Guess I’m predictable, huh? I […]
A Whale of a Time: Vineyard Vines Edgartown Shorts
I’m a whaley big fan of Vineyard Vines. In addition to the bright colors, bold patterns, and preppy styles, I love the lifestyle the brand represents. The company uses an acronym for their motto: EDSFTG. In longhand, it stands for “Every Day Should Feel This Good.” I couldn’t agree more. Luckily, the store I work at – […]
I’m in Love With Coconut Oil: My Favorite Uses for Skin, Hair, and Cooking
I never turn down a chocolate candy. I just can’t. It’s part of my DNA or something. Well, almost never. The only circumstance in which I will shake my head at a sweet, chocolatey treat is if said treat contains coconut. That’s how you know my hatred is STRONG. Or, at least it was. Growing up, I despised […]
Life Alive Cafe Review: Colorful, Healthy Bowls and Smoothies
Living in the suburbs the past year has had its ups and downs. Aside from the complete demolition of my social life, another aspect that has suffered is my taste buds. How many sub shops can possibly be placed within a two mile radius, you ask? As Cady Heron would say, the limit does not exist. If I […]
