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!

What to Wear to... the Farmer's Market

I love perusing the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings! I always end up wearing yoga pants and a tank top, but the last time I was there I  noticed all of the cute outfits women were donning. 

In an effort to be more stylish, I put together two outfits, perfect for the Farmer's Market. Mix and match these accessories with your ensemble of choice, and you're bound to look cooler than a cucumber! ;)

DIY Pedicure

It has been a very lazy weekend, which has been so nice! I actually found time to give myself a pedicure this morning -- a very rare occasion, indeed.

Don't get me wrong, I love going to the salon and getting my nails done, but it is way cheaper to DIY! Plus, this way I was able to soak my feet for as long as I wanted while watching last weeks episode of Hart of Dixie (if you don't watch this show, get on it!)

I started by filling my kitchen sink (no plug in my bath tub) with warm water and a spoon full of Natural Garden Soap's Fizzy Foot Soak. This soak left my feet feeling super soft and silky!

I soaked my feet for quite some time, which is a simple treat in and of itself. I made the executive decision that I am going to try and do this at least every two weeks.

Next, I used Julep's Vanish Cuticle Softener and Remover and an orange stick to remove unwanted cuticles. This was my first time using this product and I was very happy with the results. My nails look neat and trim thanks to this fancy elixir. 

I moisturized my tootsies with Julep's Mint Conditioner Pedi Creme. This stuff is amazing! The mint scent was cool and refreshing. My feet have never felt so soft!

Lastly, I swiped my nails with nail polish remover to remove any oils. I wasn't sure what color I wanted to wear, since both were birthday gifts from girlfriends. However, I ended up going with the bolder hue -- Essie's e-nuf is e-nuf.

What a fabulous way to spend my afternoon! Do y'all do your own pedi's or is the salon the only way to go? Chime in with a comment below!
