Working on My Fitness Part 2


Thank you for all the great feedback last week and suggestions!  I am happy to report I took action this week and got up early and ran two mornings.  It was such a good feeling to have my workout done for the day!
If you are in the market for new running shoes I love my New Balance 890 shoes.  They are super awesome.  They are lightweight but still offer plenty of support!



I wore one of my new favorite Zella outfits.  Lately I have been a big fan of the exercise skirt.  Sometimes I have a hard time finding shorts to run in that don't ride up so I end up in either leggings or a skirt. I like the idea of the skirt because it makes such a cute outfit for those days even when you don't workout!


I love the streamline fit of the tee shirt, it really sucks you in.  It comes in a bunch of different colors, but I always love a black workout tee.


 and of course you need an action shot:)  But in all seriousness I love the side rouching on the skirt.  The skirt is super comfortable too.


A great outfit for working out (or not).


Best part is Nordstrom marked down a ton of the Zella stuff as part of their semi-annual sale.  Scroll thru to see some of my favorites.  I ordered two more of my favorite tank top.

NDM Styles: Favorite Summer Outfit + Nordstrom Sale

I know you all have that standard go to outfit.  For me during the Summer it is jean shorts and a tee shirt or blouse.  That is what I wear almost daily. 



I fell in love with the pattern on this Equipment Blouse.  It is the perfect floral for Summer.  I find my self tossing it on with everything from jean shorts to white jeans.


The Gorjana Necklace is one of my new favorites. It is a great everyday necklace.  If you signup with your email on their site you can get 15% off your order. 


The jeans shorts are pretty much my most favorite pair ever, so comfy!  They run on the large side so order down a size!  I know they are on the expensive side but I do believe in quality over quantity.  I don't buy shorts often and I really feel like Rag and Bone jeans are just are great fit.  


There you have my standard day to day outfit. No lie last week I wore this outfit three times ( I was seeing different people in my defense).  Shop the whole look below.

Summer Corn Salad + Open Door Shop


I love a fresh corn salad, there is nothing better than fresh off the cob corn.  Canned and frozen corn just don't compare.  I made this recipe up about two years ago and make it frequently come the Summer months.  You can always add any veggies you like and just use corn as the main base.  All farm fresh ingredients and good for you!  We served this as a side for our braised beef tacos this weekend.  It was a killer combo!  The salad will save but after two days it starts to get soggy, so I recommend making it the day you want to serve it.  The dressing is really simple because I didn't want it to over power the vibrancy of the veggies.  Add as much or as little dressing as you like.
Enjoy!



|| S U M M E R  C O R N  S A L A D ||

- 6 ears of corn, husked
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes cut in halve
- 1-2 cups arugula
- 4 green onions sliced
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper diced
- 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese or feta
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3-4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste

Take the husks off the corn and wrap in foil.  Bake in oven at 350 degrees about 20-25 mins just to slightly cook corn,  you still want it to have a crunch.  Let cool then slice the corn off.  Mix in bowl with tomatoes, arugula, green onions, and bell pepper.  Whisk together olive oil and red wine vinegar with salt and pepper.  Drizzle over salad and top with cheese.  Best served at room temperature.



I have to point out my new Terrafirma Ceramics serving platter that I just adore.  There is a great shop located here in Charleston and online called Open Door Shop.  Open Door Shop carries this line and so many other great things.

I am kind of obsessed with the Terrafirma line.  Terrafirma products are made entirely by hand using a unique process that mixes natural stoneware with vibrantly colored and patterned porcelain surfaces. The pieces are so unique and the patterns are so gorgeous for displaying food.  Best part they are dishwasher safe!  They are great to mix and match with your existing dishes or china!  They really are stunning in person!
Shop all the Terrafirma dishes HERE.

Open Door Shop has so many other fabulous things.  I rounded up a few of my favorites.  This is a great place to buy wedding, hostess, or birthday gifts!  They do beautiful gift wrapping too.  The girls were kind enough to offer my readers a discount of 20% off through the weekend.  Use code DBDD20 at checkout to get 20% off anything on the site.  You can shop the whole site HERE.  Locals they are in the process of setting up a store here on Meeting Street, if you want to stop in you can email them at info@opendoorshop.com to see what times they are open!
Happy Shopping!

Obsessions

I am swooning over these heels.  They are the perfect camel color and I love the tassel detail!
I own this dress in the blue stripe color and it is my favorite tee shirt dress.  I love this new olive green color.  It always sells out fast so snag one while they are in stock.  I own a size 1 which is equivalent to a small.  I found one picture of me in it below so y'all can see how it fits.

I came across these shorts while browsing Piperlime and I was blown away.  They are only $58, love the distressed look.  A great short for a fabulous price.  I live in jean shorts over the Summer.


I have had a credit at F21 forever, that place is so hit or miss at my age:)  But I was pleasantly surprised with this top I scored.  The pattern is amazing.  For $22 you should buy this top- oh and preggo friends you could rock this while pregnant because it is looser.  The pattern is even prettier in person.


It is no secret I love embroidered shirts and tunics.  This white one is gorgeous. It would be such a great Summer staple.

I love anything Lucite and these earrings are no exception.  They would go with everything and they were just marked down at Saks!

I just ordered this tank top in white and can't wait to get it!  I am going to wear it with my white jeans for an all white Summer look.  Right now Piperlime is offering 25% off select styles and this top is one of them!  Use code 25LUCKY at checkout.  
It also comes in black and red.


I am loving these DV blush/leopard pumps.  So gorgeous and only $79.  They also come in blush/gold color combo!
|| Love Sadie Maxi Dress ||
I love the colors in this maxi dress.  It looks like it would be so comfy yet still cute.
Plus it is only $84.  I think you could easily dress this up for a wedding or wear with flipflips for a more casual look.


I am obsessed with these simple white vases from Kate Spade.  Best part is they come with a frog which makes arranging flowers so much easier!

I love the simplicity of this gold watch.  Such a great everyday watch.
