What to Wear... Running Errands

What do y'all wear when you run errands?

I tend to reach for my yoga pants, sneakers, and work out tops. Not exactly super glamorous, but hey -- I'm comfy! 

When I lived in Santa Barbara it seemed that everyone wore yoga pants, but in San Antonio, people tend to dress in "normal" clothes when they aren't at the gym! 

I'm not about to abandon my laid back California girl style, but some times I need to go from errands to lunch on the weekends with friends without going home to change first. 

Here is a cute, comfy alternative to my tried and true yoga pants! 

XOXO

What's in your Beach Bag?

Anybody have an upcoming beach trip planned? 

Hubby and I are headed to the East Coast for his birthday in June and I can't wait to feel the sand between my toes! It is important to pack a well stocked beach bag! 

Here are some of the items I like to keep handy!

Towel: Gotta have a big fluffy towel to lay on and dry off with if I venture in the water. 

Sunscreen: I am super fair and will burn to a crisp if I don't reapply constantly. 

Sun Hat: The wider the brim the more it keeps the sun off of my face! 

Water Bottle: The sun can dehydrate you even if you're just lounging... be sure to bring enough H20!

Snacks: I try to eat a little something every few hours, so I always have a granola bar handy. 

Sunglasses: Shield your eyes from the UV rays and keep crows feet at bay. 

Flip Flops: Shield your feet from the hot sand when you have to run back to the car to get more snacks!

Chap Stick: The sun always dries my lips out. 

Cover Up: A cute cover up can take you from the beach to that cute little seaside bar and grill in no time!

Magazine: I love to read at the beach, especially the glossies! Perfect time to catch up on fashion and beauty tips!

Playing Cards: Sometimes the best time to play 'Go Fish' is at sea!

Bag: A mesh bag like the one above makes it easy to fold up in your suitcase and can easily be wiped out with a damp cloth. 

What do you pack when you head out for some sun? Did I forget any essentials?

XOXO

Comfy Travel Attire

I love traveling -- in fact, Hubby and I are headed to Santa Barbara for my birthday next week! One thing that is a must for all plane rides is a comfy outfit! I love wearing yoga pants and a cozy sweatshirt. I usually try to wear a pair of shoes that would ordinarily take up a lot of room in my bag; either tennis shoes or boots. The outfit below is similar to something I will probably be wearing on my flight next week. Later this week I'll be posting some of my favorite carry on essentials! :)
