Blake and Jessica

Admittedly, I've been in a style rut lately. I've been going for my true basics over and over again (skinny jeans, boyfriend tees, & button downs). I'm kind of sick of it, but I seriously don't know how to get out of it. I was just checking the regular gossip blogs, and found these images of Blake Lively on the set of Gossip Girl in Paris and Jessica Alba attending fashion shows. I'm so using these for inspiration.

I am LOVING Jessica Alba's makeup and hair in both these photos. Too often I've seen her make poor or so-so style choices. Obviously she's a beautiful girl but when she dresses like this, it is just amazing.

I have to say that I could not pull of anything Blake Lively is wearing, but I'm loving how everything looks on her. High waisted tailored black shorts, sequinced jacket, almost calf length floral, these are all choices that I don't think of when I think of my style, but she has the body to pull off anything.

Update: P90x Week one

Honestly, I am on fire. There are no words to describe the amount of pain that I am in. But it's a good kind of pain. I can feel that I pushed my body to the limit today and yesterday with the kenpo X and Legs and Back workouts. My legs cannot move right now and I'm loving it. So far I've tried the Kenpo X workout (which is martial arts and cardio), Cardio X, Legs & Back, a bit of Ab Ripper X (honestly, I cannot get through this, but I'm going to keep trying over the next couple of week to get through all of it), Yoga X (this one is super tough and reminded me of how inflexible I am), and Core Synergistics (by far the hardest because I can't do half of what Tony is asking). I haven't been following the "lean" schedule thoroughly, I've just been doing what feels right that day. But I think next week I'm going to stick with the schedule. It was probably created for a reason. But I've gotten my sister on board as well, and it's so helpful to have someone to work out with to keep you motivated to do the entire hour workout everyday. That, and even if I'm sweating buckets in front of her, I know that she will not judge me! The burn after the workout got better after the first couple days. But the intensity is always there. I can't wait to get through the entire month of it and see how my body has changed! 

Also, our post-workout treat has been to load on this bath and bodyworks Coconut Lime Verbena cream. This cream is so yummy to smell, I kind of want to eat it. Is that bad?
