legs...legs...legs

I get a lot of compliments on my legs. Especially on instagram. I also get tons and I mean tons of questions asking about my exercise routine. the honest truth is i rarely exercise. as an exercise professional (i have a doctorate in physical therapy) I rarely practice what I preach. I do run on occasion (along riverbank state park is the best) but only when im angry to burn off steam. I do a lot of lifting and exercise during work just working other people out. I also walk about 5 miles daily all over Manhattan. I do live on a 5th floor walk up as well so maybe that has something to do with it. Other than that...I wear very high heels and that in itself is a leg workout!

check out my other exercise routine here. I was looking for the perfect ventilated sweater that can be worn on those chilly Spring nights and work well into my Fall wardrobe. enter this well ventilated sweater from Top Shop that I just got on sale. they are pretty much selling all their winter inventory and its awesome! make sure to stop by if you have a topshop near you.

the cold shoulder

so i am definitely back on the Forever 21 bandwagon. Although Zara and Top Shop have taken over my life via internet stalking their sites I dont have too many pieces from either but a slew of
 Forever 21.
It's budget friendly but you still have to shop careful so that something doesn't shrink after one wash.
this dress is aother great find...lightweight material and an earthy spring tone.


Dress: Forever 21 | Bag: Vintage from Brooklyn Flea Market | Belt: Michael Kors via Century 21
Shoes: DVF Opal Wedge via Nordstroms Rack
I have had this Michael Kors Belt for some months before finally finding something to pair it with. I love the mismatch of it. The belt adds a little more glamour to the otherwise plain dress. I actually think the colors are a good match too. This purse is my favorite in my entire collection. i love it because its super unique and so old. I doubt I'd ever see it anywhere else. thats the beauty of vintage.
check out some other great Forever 21 buys HERE and HERE.
do you find yourself shopping at one store over another and why?
i want to shop more at Zara and Top Shop but only buy an item i really love and have to have because its higher priced than H&M and Forever 21 but it does last longer.
