April has ended and now we are at the beginning of a brand new month, which is super exciting! I'm doing a gym inspiration post today, this week marks 5 weeks of my new lifestyle and I couldn't be happier. I've made some great progress so I wanted to create a set with some cute clothes to inspire you to hit the gym! It doesn't have to be a excruciating process, just a simple 40 minute session on the bike a couple days a week will make more difference than you realize. I've just been doing mostly basic stuff, like the bike, elliptical and the treadmill, 45 mins a day, 5 days a week. When I get home (in two days- what?!) I have plans to get some more workout leggings, because I only have one pair I really like and they have a couple of small holes I need to fix. 

Where is your favorite place to get cute workout gear? 

 

Work Out Inspo

Work Out Inspo by hellosimpleme-1 featuring adidas

Hello beautiful people of the blogger-world; I mentioned in my last post about how I am trying to be healthier and lead a more active lifestyle and so today I bring you a work out gear post.

I am going to list and then talk about the items above:

1. A good sports bra: This is essential for women. Especially as a woman with a larger bust, and those of you with larger busts can agree that trying to concentrate on your work out but having your bust bouncing can make you feel uncomfortable, distracted, and unfocused. A sports bra that keeps my chest secure leaves me able to focus on what I am doing completely, not to mention they come in really cute colors and styles.
2. Yoga Capris/leggings: As someone who doesn't really like shorts, work out capris are a must have. My favorite ones are from Old Navy's Active line. They are comfortable and I always am complemented on them. 
3. Favorite Headphones: Headphones or earbuds are a must for working out. Create the perfect workout playlist using Spotify, Pandora, or buy a few songs and make your own playlist. I really like the new Fall Out Boy, and Imagine Dragons albums for working out. 
4. Perfect Kicks: My dad just recently bought my a new pair of sneakers from Adidas and I absolutely love them. Normally I go for black sneakers, but I fell in love with a pink pair and wow they are neon, but I love them anyway. Comfortable sneakers are good for supporting your knees, back and posture while working out.
5. Water is essential: Find a water bottle, doesn't have to be fancy, and drink, drink, drink. Water is essential, 75% of Americans are dehydrated, and that is not good. I've been drinking ALOT more water and keeping track with my FitBit app, and I feel better, and even feel less hungry throughout the day.
6. FitBit: Now this is not an essential, a classic pencil and paper will do with a pedometer, but if you have the opportunity to get a FitBit or something similar, they are absolutely incredible. Mine keeps me accountable and I find myself checking it often to make sure I achieve my step goal. With FitBit you can also log what you eat, your water intake, and it can wake you up in the morning with vibrations. Which at first I wasn't sure if that would wake me up, but it does! I have the FitBit Charge, and I absolutely love it.
7. Hair ties: Get your hair out of your face and out of mind! I braid my bangs back, or use a hair band to keep my hair in place while it is in a pony tail or bun.

The Essentials: Mid-Term Week

The Essentials by hellosimpleme-1 featuring an urban bedding

Its Here! Our NOT so favorite time of year for college students ( besides our least favorite.. Finals... ) MID-TERMS! And they are here everybody. I had one this morning at 11:45AM so I was like- why not do a Mid-Term blog post! I decided to go on polyvore and do a visual- a visual of lots of goodies to make studying for mid-terms so much better.

1) SWEATERS & YOGA PANTS: Ideal for in the dorm or in the 24/7 lounge till 3 am, comfortable and with a pair of boots can even make it to class. ( love the Chanel F*CK one- so perfect for midterms and definitely one to wear for finals)

2) FUZZY SOCKS: its october! Getting chilly on the eastern side, so fuzzy socks are a must for cold tiled dorm floors.

3) BLANKETS AND COFFEE: Perfect combo for a cold day, especially for that all nighter

4) SCHOOL SUPPLIES: index cards, index cards, index cards... (a KEY way to memorize important information) Pens, and notebook to write because repetition is key. Highlighers- makes everything pretty and personally when I highlight (specifically yellow) I remember things better.. Dunno for some reason i can picture the question/answer/ect in my head when it was highlighted in yellow

5) GLASSES: ya need your specs to see... wouldn't that be a good thing!?

Hope you enjoyed- and  have a WONDERFUL Mid-term week (mine is this coming week but I had one midterm test today so off to study I go!)  

XOXO

Night Out in Style

Lets go Dancing by hellosimpleme-1 featuring a high heel bootie

I haven't gone out dancing yet since I've been here at college, but I'm currently thinking about it since its friday nightt....

So this look is totally gorgeous. The dress with the cut out sides is sexy but the sweetheart neckline tones it down some. 

I picked out 6 pair of black booties/heels  that would look AMAZING with this fabulous dress.  I picked some with gold detailing because the dress almost has a gold/yellow tone to the bust. So I figured gold hardware would work perfectly... 

The bottom row of shoes the left one is my favorite. (Right underneath the 'Lets' in "Lets go dancing"

Which pair is your favorite??

Paris Amour

Paris Amour by hellosimpleme featuring beach sweaters

I have been obsessing with Paris, France recently. I cant wait till I get to visit next May and I am counting down the days until I get to hop on that plane and go to Europe. I have this fantasy about backpacking through Europe after I graduate college, if that happens then it will be a amazing blogging experience! 

This look is focused on the floral pant using black accessories to match the black in the backround of the floral. I picked such a dark color scheme thinking about a cloudy day roaming paris, looking super chic but being warm and comfortable at the same time. Obviously going with a beanie for warmth and a red lip! (I'm obsessing with red lips atm) 

On a different note, got my hair done this morningggg;) it is totally gorgeous and just what i wanted! You will be getting a big reveal soon;) oh, btw... I leave for college sat.. OMGSH. -.- 

XOXO
