Little Black Dress

    Saturday night my husband and I attend our friends daughters quince/sweet sixteen birthday party and this is what I wore. I decided to borrow a dress instead of buying since I'm the process of loosing weight. I borrowed this gorgeous LBD from my friend Madeline. I loved the pockets and the pleats in the front to help disguise any imperfections post baby. We ended up having to take the kids so I did an up-do for comfort. I wanted to try out a new look for my make up so I found this cool angled smokey eye look in Allure magazine and e.l.f lip stain called "heartbreaker" for my lips. I wore leopard print shoe by Antonio Melani that I got at Dillard's with "peachy" by Revlon on my toes. I accessorized with gold jewelry since gold is in for the summer. The ring I got at f21 and the necklace/earring set at my local flea market. I fell in love with the necklace because its so different you can twist, turn, fold and mold it into any shape! Enjoy.

  4. Hi Fernanda, Thank you very much for the comment. Honestly to lose weight I'm not doing anything major. I count my calories don't go over 1200 intake daily and I do about 1 hr to 2 of cardio 3 times a week, every other day with good stretching in between. I am a member at the YMCA so I do the Zumba classes and any other ones I can get to. If I don't have time for a class I jog on the tred for 30 mins, the elliptical for 15 mins and the stepper for 15mins. If your not good and keeping track of your calories you can join myfitnesspal.com you can use it to keep track of your calories and work outs. I just started working out so after a few weeks ill be going daily for at least 1 hr. What I really want to do is start P90x but its hard at home. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
