Last week I talked a little about how excited I am for the new collaboration between Olivia Palermo and Nordstrom. Olivia is one of my style icons–isn’t she everyones?! She has such an impeccable taste in clothing, and how she styles pieces is so perfect! It would be a dream to look even half as put together and chic as she is, so ordering her entire new line is extremely tempting–and dangerous 🙂 There will be four collections throughout the year consisting of around 30 pieces. The collection represents what young modern women are wearing these days, and pieces that are always traditional–meaning you can wear them all year round! There are a lot of pieces I have my eye on, especially this bustier! I am excited to see the collections following her Spring line.

This year Pantone, for the first time, named Serenity and Rose Quartz as the colors of the year. Serenity is a light baby blue, and Rose Quartz is more of a blush/pink color. I am happy with the colors of the year as I love wearing blush and light blue and already have plenty of each color in my closet.

On Monday, however, it was back to healthy eating for me. If you have been following my Snapchats (@mtate24), then you already know that I started doing Sweat With Kayla app, created by Kayla Itsines. It has different 30 minute workouts to do daily, along with meal plans and a grocery list. I wanted to start with her app before buying her BBG guides because her app is cheaper and I didn’t want to pay the full price for the guides right away. Anyway, I like her meal plans better than her workouts. I find her workouts to be nothing new or moves that I am not already doing. It is nice, however, to have if I do not have time to go workout. If I decide to get her guides, I will just buy the meal plan guide. I haven’t religious followed her meal plan because of a few reasons:
