Go Sports!

Go Sports!

Hello!! This past weekend, Ohio’s own Cleveland Browns made it to the playoffs only to get annihilated in typical Browns fashion. Johnny and I have absolutely no interest in watching sports whatsoever, but our bestie Cliff does. So, we were going to hang out at our place, watch the game, and play some board games together. To get into the football spirit, Johnny and I decided to make our very own Cleveland Browns shirts… Well… Sort of lol. I personally think we came up with something infinitely better! Check it out:

Our “Sport?” T-shirts came directly from mine and Johnny’s silly imagination and I am obsessed with them. We both thought it would be funny if we got Browns gear to wear while we watched the game, but it seemed way funnier if we just made our own. So, Johnny went to Walmart and got plain white V-necks and a fabric marker so we could get our Project Runway on. The shirts turned out terribly, as we 100% expected, and that is exactly what we wanted.

Johnny and I know tons of sports lovers, but it is something that both him and I will never appreciate as much as them. In fact, I don’t think we could name one rule of football! However, now that we know we are excellent T-shirt makers, maybe we will be a bit more excited about Ohio sports. In fact, when I posted the Ts we made on social media, several people commented that they want a “Sport?” shirt too. Lol maybe we can all band together to form a club about sports for people who know nothing about them. It could be fun! 😀

I am very proud of how our shirts turned out and I most definitely plan on wearing it out in public. Hopefully, people will find them as funny as Johnny and I do!

What is your favorite sport? What is your favorite sports team? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Misny Merch OOTD

Misny Merch OOTD

Hello!! When Johnny and I visited Misnyland, we were each treated to a new T-shirt or long sleeved shirt from the Misny Merch collection. Johnny got himself the same shirt that my dad purchased for me for my birthday and what I wore in my Misny To The Max OOTD that made me a contest winner. I opted for a black long sleeved shirt with Tim’s signature catchphrase “Make Them Pay” going down the side of the sleeves. This was great because I actually wanted to buy that shirt, but I placed my order in late May and wanted a T-shirt for summertime. With some brand new Misny swag to rock, I had to style a new OOTD and came up with an athleisure ensemble that I wore to lunch at veg+ (Check out yesterday’s post for a review!).

Remember that proceeds from every order of Misny Merch benefits the Cleveland City Mission! Now, let’s get to it:

Who? What? Wear?

Long sleeved shirt: Misny Merch

Leggings: Express

Balaclava: Steve Madden, TJMaxx

Tie dye tennis shoes: Nike, PacSun

The bumblebee earrings are from Target!

As you all know, athleisure OOTDs aren’t really my thing, even more so since I haven’t ice skated in forever. As odd as it is, this outfit was me stepping outside of my comfort zone! This was a strategic outfit, though, because I knew that I would be with my nieces when I wore it and would be able to chase after the too cute toddlers comfortably. I also chose to go the athleisure route because the Misny Merch shirt is huge on me so wearing it in a more sporty ensemble made sense.

The base of this outfit was so simple to establish. I already had my new shirt in mind and you can’t have an athleisure look without a great pair of leggings. My sister turned me on to the leggings from Express and they are simply the best. I wore them constantly when I skated, I love to lounge in them, and they fit like a glove. I rarely wear leggings in public because I am a die hard black skinny jeans fan and I felt like I was in my pajamas in the best way ever lol. And, trust me when I say that I simply shined when Val insisted on reenacting the “stampede” scene from the Lion King?? So weird haha but I could have ran for days! 😀

With the base of the outfit settled, it was time for shoes and accessories. I went with my purple tie dye pair of Stefan Janoski Nikes and it felt most strange not sporting a killer pair of heels. Then again, it wouldn’t be a sportswear outfit with my go to platforms on! Despite the pop of purple, the outfit was still looking rather plain so I enlisted the help of my new Steve Madden balaclava from TJMaxx. I wore it like a cowl and it was incredibly toasty and added the visual interest that was missing. Finally, I chose a pair of bold, bumblebee studs for an extra dose of cuteness and was ready to take on the day the Tim Misny way!

Lil Red goes athleisure in my Misny Merch OOTD and it was a fun and oh so comfy change of pace. Thanks for the shirt, Tim. You’re the best! ❤

Treat Day!

Treat Day!

Hello! This past Tuesday was full of treats for me and it made for a nice, albeit exhausting, day. For the first time in several months, I had a skating lesson in the evening after work and I knew that I would need an extra caffeine jolt to see me through until my arrival home. So, I decided that it was the day to grab my annual winter seasonal drink from Starbucks: The Peppermint Mocha!

I am ashamed to admit that I waited in line at the Starbucks drive thru for at least fifteen minutes for this drink but it was well worth the wait. The Peppermint Mocha is my absolute favorite seasonal drink from Starbies and I would drink it every day if I could. My taste buds would love it but my wallet… Not so much.

My treat drink from Starbucks was as delicious as I remember it being and my only regret is that I didn’t savor it more. It was completely gone by the time I arrived to my next client. Better luck next year, I suppose! Throwing the drink back or nursing it, it definitely did the trick because I still had a shocking amount of energy by the time I arrived at the skating rink for my session at almost five o’clock. And, from a permanently sleepy girl, trust me when I say that this never happens!

It felt so good to get back on the ice after a fairly long hiatus when my coach was on maternity leave and I am always pleased when I can pick up right where I left off from my last lesson. Of course, I felt dead tired the following day because it was a hell of a work out but #noragrets at all and I can’t wait to go back next week.

It is so nice to have something to look forward to during the work week but next time I will have to settle for coffee pot coffee instead of my beloved Starbucks. No one ever said the figure skater lifestyle was easy! 😀

How do you treat yourself? What is your order from Starbucks? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

New Kyodan Sleeveless Hoodie

New Kyodan Sleeveless Hoodie

Hello! I had a really lovely Saturday this past weekend. My mom, sister, and I went out to lunch and then we went shopping at TJMaxx and HomeGoods. We had a lot of fun and it proved to be a fruitful trip to TJs. For the past month or so, I have been trying to incorporate some more tops into my wardrobe and I finally have had some success. The second top can be seen tomorrow. But, for now, check out this New Kyodan Sleeveless Hoodie that I am obsessed with:

mini3mini2

  • Original Price: $42
  • TJMaxx Price: $20

Athletic apparel that can double as normal clothing is very in as of late. And it’s sure hard to escape seeing all of the work out garb when New Year’s Resolutions are still being pushed in stores. I have wanted a tank top hoodie for a while now, but haven’t been able to find just the right one.

I normally don’t go for anything too plain while shopping but, in this instance, that was exactly what I needed. I wanted the sleeveless hoodie to layer well over different tops and that wouldn’t happen if it was a loud pattern or color. I always prefer black clothing and, in this case, I super preferred black clothing because this half priced Kyodan tank hoodie is perfect.

I am so excited to be able to throw this over a tank, crop top, or T-shirt. But, I am really looking forward to pairing this over classic button downs or long sleeved shirts for a comfy cool look that is still work appropriate. I like that this hoodie doesn’t look like I’m about to go for a work out while wearing it, but I definitely could if I wanted to! Either way, it is sure to look just sporting wherever I go. See what I did there?! 😉

How would you style a tank hoodie? How do you mix athletic gear into your every day outfits? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
