The Best of 2020

December 31, 2020

Well girls, here we are– we made it. Just like any other year, we aren’t sure what lies ahead, but I know most of us are ready to put 2020 behind us! I hope you are ending this year still full of hope and setting goals for the next year ahead- I DEFINITELY am! Still so much to work on and improve ourselves with!

Been spending time this week, chasing hamsters LOL — Just kidding I am letting them GO! 😉 But also reflecting on our favorites in the past year! So fun actually to see the stages of the year based on what you all loved the most!

All I can say is, after looking at all the pictures from the year: 1. Thankful I don’t need to do magnetic lashes again (WHOA, OMG hope you didn’t take my tutorials too seriously) 2. I really need to get my spray tan going again.

Love ya’ll! We learned A LOT in 2020, Let’s not waste a minute getting back to ourselves this year and making the most of it and 2021! Don’t let the Year define you — YOU Define YOU!

BEST OF FASHION

Staples are what we all invested in this year- The scuba hoodie is one of my favorite lululemon items- instantly recognizable and will last for years to come! I wear a size 10

Not to be outdone the Target Lululemon Dupe is not far behind— I always try to find my favorite items at different price points- and this zip sweatshirt does not disappoint! Everyone loves the slim style and funnel neck collar– the target version does a great job! I wear a size large!

Whether you love the Lululemon version or not- the price point cannot be beat!

More Target Athleisure Favorites!

This bra in most households has completely replaced the typical underwire bra this year! Its SOOO Comfy and does the job of holding up the girls without the underwire! I wear 36DD/34DD

Linked my 4 Favorite Bras all from the same maker!

The Walmart Hoodie that we all went crazy for in the month of December– beat out all our other winners by a landslide in the last month of the year! I wear a size large but can size up for more length if you want!

The Cotton Notch Collar Blazer is a fan favorite! There is an entire styling session dedicated to this piece that is now in many closets Nationwide! I wear the large!

My favorite workout pant I discovered this Spring– it DOES IT ALL! Comfortable enough to wear all day but no more need to have a different pair of leggings for yoga, run, lift etc. these do it all. High waisted and 7/8 length! I wear the size 8

*Linked Crop Version as well!

A few other favorites from the year at different price points:

THE number one item of the year, the Target Sports Bra! Still one of my favorites– though I do need a little refresh! This seamless style sports bra is SUPER comfy there is a medium support which is what is pictured but also the high support. Linked both below!

Number ONE Item of the entire year! The Target sports Bra!

So much athleisure favorites — and sneakers are always a must have! They are a top seller this year, whether you made a 2020 commitment or are embarking on a new one, I take my shoes serious 🙂

Linked up the new versions of our favorites- These will keep on the move whether at work or a new workout!

Good American Denim made the list as one of our most shopped items in 2020– Funny right since we are all wearing sweats all year! But these jeans are LEGIT the closest thing to leggings as its going to get– and they make your legs look a mile long! Linked up some that are on sale, including this pair! I wear a size 10— remember if you don’t jump to get into them, you’re doing it wrong. LOL.

BEST OF BEAUTY

I do think its worth noting a few beauty items that are among the yearly favorites! Even though not necessarily in the fashion category MANY women have taken advantage of these items and added them into their routines!

NAVY Haircare has been a BIG time favorite for us, my hair is SO flat on top and this texture spray is PERFECT for adding ALL.THE.VOLUME! You can use my code for THEMOMINSTYLE30 for 30% off sitewide always!

2. My Liquid Collagen has been a great little supplement to add to my daily routine! I have seen improvements in my skin hair and especially Nails! There are two that I take — LIFE is great for an overall collagen supplement and TRIM is great for the collagen intake and added CLA which is a fat inhibitor. Can’t give too much credit to the TRIM for any weight loss, but it certainly can’t hurt to prevent a little fat storage! If you haven’t hopped on board yet, my link will get you $10 off your first order!

3. Probiotics — I LOVE the probiotics that I can have autoshipped with my Collagen– I am fine with taking pills myself, but my mom has a tough time and I always recommend this because its a Pixie Stick style supplement! easy to swallow and a great taste! Great to travel with as well! New gals get $10 off your first order as well!

4. The Billie Razor, I shared a ton this year, its the $9 glow up that’s so awesome once again I don’t need to add this to my grocery list PLUS its the best shave ever! I hopped on board soon as it launched but if you haven’t yet like the rest of us– I can’t recommend enough!

5. The Lancome Genifique Serum I shared just recently was a fan favorite among many of you already! I think I might be late to the game! But it really has been so good when I have used it lately! Its great for all around moisturizing, anti wrinkle and can be used day and night! 😉 You can still use code APPRECIATE for 20% off your order!

6. My skin is EXTREMELY acne prone and the Colleen Rothschild Mandelic Acid has been STAPLE piece in my routine. I use it at night and it gives me the skin clearing plus the anti-aging I need. A lot of you girls made this a top seller this year, with good reason it has been SO helpful and I have seen so many changes in my skin from this with my consistent use!

Gibson Cozy Fit Tips & Guide to all things Cozy

October 28, 2020

Hey Girls! Officially cozy season (always cozy season in my book) Gibson is a staple in my loungewear as you all know, They are so good with their lightweight jersey pieces! I also love Gibson because the pieces are so great for mix and match you can make each little look your own depending on your own personal style.

Since there are a few new arrivals today, and I am styling in IG stories- so don’t miss that! There are a few fun projects coming our way in the next few weeks *hint hint* 🙂 If you are brand new to Gibson, thought I would share some fit tips with the cozy pieces, closet staples and share some outfit inspiration along the way!

One of the many things that I love about Gibson Designs is the versatility of the pieces. Take the jumpsuit for example– this is a great everyday piece that can be worn for lounge, add a cardigan for an extra layer— take it on the road as a great travel piece or add a moto pumps for date night!

I am several times a week in my Gibson Joggers I absolutely love them. You girls see me wear the gray colorway but CHECK OUT the leopard with the new duster! IN LOVE! There are a bunch of color choices available and its fun to make your own combination! Mix and Match sets are so fun! Joggers are great to wear even slightly oversized but my true size large is a perfect fit for me!

Now for sizing-– I am a 10/12 bottom and M/L top– and with Gibson I like like the size large on me– I like things a bit oversized and not ever snug- so Large cozy fits me just right! I did include a size chart here so you can easily reference your own fit!

Not to go on too long here girls there’s more outfit inspiration below if you need a new outfit idea– but wanted to make sure if you feel inspired to make a purchase make sure you use my code MOMINSTYLE20 for 20% off your purchase– not just on new arrivals but the entire website all the time!

The Best Leggings Styles your Closet Needs

October 17, 2020

Hey Girls! We have a huge post today and Its all about the legging! I personally think we have been in legging season for a while– but typically we call that fall and winter LOL– Lots of requests for my Favorites for different occasions so I thought I would stop and put them all together for you!

This post is really to share what I wear the most, why and the details of each pair so if you are in the market for another pair this might help you too! Check out Instagram Stories for the full try on but I will do my best to include a full description here as well as a DUPE (if they are $$) the best I possibly can! These are listed out in no particular order, tried to be as unbiased as possible and just deliver facts on this one — there are a total of 7 pair with individual descriptions! 😉

Hope this post is helpful for you and if you find that someone you know might like it too, please feel free to share it! 😉

First pair of legging is the Wunder Under High Rise Full on Luon Legging, High waisted, 7/8 and a medium compression all the way through the legging. I wear this MOST often from boots and sweater to Athleisure OOTD these are made for movement, do not budge, excellent quality (these are 3 years old-ish and look brand new). They do attract pet hair at times and run about $98.

Dupe Option is here, runs TTS and under $45 🙂

Sizing: I wear an 8 this is my normal leggings size at Lululemon I wear a size 10/12 denim

Here are the Spanx “Look at me Now” Seamless legging– 7/8 length and high waisted. EXCELLENT shapewear, stays put, super black great for athleisure to sweaters and boots. This is a slightly thicker material, so if its above 70- I personally would not wear. This is a more affordable SPANX at around $68, if you want to see what all the fuss is about on the brand, this might be a good one to pick!

Similar seamless dupe options are linked here and here

Size: XL Sized up one from my typical Size Large.

Here are the SPANX Faux leather legging great again for all the looks from sweaters and boots to athleisure. SPANX is really about the shapewear they really do keep you lifted, supported and feeling confident all day. These are super black, full length and high waisted. Around $98. Goes on sale a couple times a year, Black Friday and the Nordstrom Sale. FYI if you have an need styling ideas, I have a post here.

Dupe Options: Nothing I know of is going to give you the same shapewear feeling but if you are going for the look: A great a dupe is here.

Sizing: I buy a Large and XL– Depends on the day but feel most comfortable in the XL which is one size up from my normal size large.

This the Aerie Offline Real Me Legging– High waisted 7/8 length I wear for athleisure and lounge outfits. Cotton style material, not made for tons of movement, no shaping technology but comfortable to wear in the evenings. If you are looking for a good basic legging I wear these a lot for lounge because they aren’t compressive. Super black and run under $50!

Size: I wear my typical Size Large

The Ever popular Lululemon Align Legging everyone loves these because they are buttery soft, truly unmatched! High waisted, 7/8 length- comes in a ton of colors and sizes these are made for movement so they are great for all weather and looks as well. Comfortable because they are no compressive so you can wear all day from yoga, to lunch to lounge. Keep their shape and look new as mine are also about 4 years old! Runs about $98.

Dupe option is here, Under $40! I have heard they are super similar though I do not personally own.

The Lululemon Wunder Train Legging— recently converted to now nearly my Favorite legging for workout. High waisted and 7/8 length the Everlux material combines comfort, sweat wicking, breathability– this is one that is a HIGH performance legging. Lift, run, walk do any kind of workout PLUS take them to lunch and beyond. Made for movement and high intensity workouts! Wash and wear perfect, looks brand new each time and does not lose shape with wear. Runs about $98.

Dupe: Couple other options I would suggest for workout are here and here— Both under $45 and run TTS. 🙂

Size: I wear Size 8 my typical Lululemon size.

The Aerie Offline Shine/Crackle legging. High Waisted and 7/8 length Has the look of a faux leather legging with more comfortable lounge fit. No shapewear in these as they will be more comfortable but don’t give me that same confidence as the previous pair. Given the look however they are a great dupe option to previous more expensive pairs with the same look. Runs under $50.

Size: I wear Large which is my typical Size.
