Preppy Nautical

• Steve Madden wedge sandals
• Red jeans from Forever 21*Pop of value! Similar jeans!
• Croft and Barrow striped hooded sweater
• Blazer from The Limited Similar blazer!

To me, a navy blazer is universally chic. Just adding a crisp fitted blazer like this can add instant chicness to any outfit. This is definitely an investment piece that will never go out of style and is worth spending a little bit more money. The navy blazer does its part here too dress up even a simple striped hoodie, by adding a simple yet class J Crew-esque touch. Of course, knowing me, I had to throw in a splash of color to make things interesting. These red jeans are one of my favorite new bottoms for summer, they're waking up every piece I seem to put with them-including some tired pieces I've had forever! I love having a blazer to just throw on on those days that you don't want the added bulk of a jacket, but you want to add a bit of warmth. (it dropped into the 50s last week with tons of wind and rain-eek!) I hope you all are having a good week!

Pop of health/fitness: Inspire yourself! Double your weight loss by looking at a photo of yourself in which you think you look good and trim twice a day. Doctors at the Deorio Wellness Center in Santa Monica, California say that once your brain has an image of what you want to look like, it'll crave slimming foods instead of junk. Good to know!
