Cheers to Date Night

Oh yasssss! I'm all about sexy booties and LBDs today on Sensible Stylista.  I centered my latest around a fab new dress I copped at Amiclubwear.  I got it a while back so it's no longer available online, but I'm going to link similar + other cute options for y'all below so keep scrolling.

For today's OOTD, I styled my LBD with a fab floral bomber and threw on fierce booties for edge.  I carried a studded clutch and accessorized with a BAMF statement bracelet to match.  For those of you wondering, my cuff's from JWholesale.  They sell truly fabulous jewelry on the cheap.  Like, I'm not playin' around.  Y'all need to check 'em out stat!  Their pieces ooze quality, and their prices are un-freaking-believable.  Your inner sensible stylista will cry tears of joy, for realz.  To browse their impressive selection, click here.

Also, a huge shout out to Yotel for letting us (me and the fabulous Dennis Christians) shoot this ensemble in their baller lounge.  If you live in NY and want to check out a new joint for happy hour, head on over.  They're always super busy so they must be doing something right!  I haven't had a chance to try their food or drinks yet so I can't vouch for 'em myself, but I absolutely love staying at their hotel! I'll definitely make sure to hit up their bar the next time around.

Lady in Red

Feeling super glam today on SS wearing a fabulous strapless maxi courtesy of amiclubwear.  Have any of you shopped their site?  They're known for their clubwear, but they actually have a great selection of dresses, both casual and formal.  I've gotten a lot of really cute stuffs from 'em over the years.

To dress up my look, I accessorized with a fabulous statement piece from Berricle.  If you're looking for a new choker, head on over to their site and pick this baby up stat!  It's super versatile so you can pretty much wear it with any and every ensemble.  Shoot me a message if you have any questions!

Now, as I'm sure y'all guessed, today's post is yet another DCP New York collab.  Dennis and I went to Spring Street's Salt Shed to take these photos, and I absolutely love how they turned out!  Where should I shoot next? What kind of backgrounds do you guys prefer (city, suburban, etc.)?

August Updates + Playlist

Alright guys, it's time for my monthly fitness update.  I'm proud to tell y'all that progress has been good.  I've been doing insanity workouts, extra cardio sessions, on top of my daily two-mile walk with my pup.  I can see a big difference in my bod so my hard work's definitely paying off.  I dread working out on most days, but after the pain, I seriously feel like I can take anything on.  This is going to sound really cheesy, but exercising makes me feel like I'm on top the world. It helps with self-discipline and grit so it's a useful keystone habit to develop.

Confession:  I haven't been following my Insanity calendar.  I've completed it in the past though so I don't feel bad jumping around.  I've been focusing on three modules as of late:  Plyometric Cardio Circuit, Cardio Power & Resistance, and Pure Cardio.  I've done one a day for the past 3 weeks...yet I'm still dead at the end of every one. I'm planning on moving onto harder workouts (aka the max series) in mid-late September.  I need to make sure I'm prepared for the destruction.  As for extra cardio, I elliptical it for 45 min. 2-3 times a week to help with stamina.  
As for my diet, I've been good overall, but I need to work on incorporating more veggies + fruits into my diet. I've been eating quinoa/brown rice and turkey patties for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the last, like, 2-3 weeks. Things are really busy right now so I like to microwave food and scarf everything down quickly.  I've gone out to eat nomtastic food once a week though to maintain my sanity.  In my opinion, weekly splurge meals are a serious MUST!  Do any of you indulge? If so, do you indulge in a splurge day or a splurge meal?
Oh, and I almost forgot to give you my August playlist!  Here's what I'm currently listening to on my pod-pod. I'm always looking for new tunes to sweat to so make sure you comment with your current fave songs, too.
