Once again Tory Burch hits it out of the park. I have the boots, but now I need the green jeans too! <script src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script><br />

Look no more. You need to try <a href="http://www.aztec-secret.com/">Aztec Secret</a> natural clay mask. I first heard of this gem via <a href="http://sheridanfrench.blogspot.com/">Sheridan French</a> and her praises for the product peaked my curiosity. <br />
<br />
After some research, turns out this stuff is legit and amazing for only $7. I bought mine at <a href="http://wholefoodsmarket.com/">Whole Foods</a>, but you can order yours <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/181-6253983-3029821?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=aztec+secret">here</a>.<br />
<br />
As it says on the jar, you can <em>feel your face pulsate</em> as the natural clay dries into a hard mask and stimulates circulation. It leaves your face feeling soft, smooth, clean and shiney. Not an oily shine, but a glow of healthy skin and it clears out and minimizes pours. <br />

Here's a sneak peek.<br />

And a few of you have asked; I bought the Zara top at the store. They did not have it on the floor which I thought was odd, so always ask if they have any in stock.</div>Vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06876227120131188447noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276964136023706387.post-33190187466221540932012-07-24T18:12:00.002-05:002012-07-27T22:44:47.616-05:00Peplum PerfectionFriends, I am beside myself excited about my new lace peplum blouse from Zara. So many things about this top gives me goose bumps. First, it's three fall trends in one. How fabulous is that? Lace, check. Peplum, check. And red, check.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/20551/189508/826684/LACE+TOP+WITH+FRILL">Zara.com</a><span id="goog_313003920"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_313003921"></span> does not do this blouse justice. The lace detail is spot on and thick. Not a cheap flimsy lace that sometimes can totally ruin an otherwise beautiful blouse. <br />
<br />

I was there for a few items and stumble upon <a href="http://www.target.com/p/straw-dangle-tote-natural/-/A-13993507">this beauty.</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Instantly I thought of the <a href="http://www.tomandlorenzo.com/2012/06/yea-or-nay-tory-burch-resort-2013-bags.html">Tory Burch pom pom tote </a>she had earlier this spring/summer. Obviously the two bags aren't that similar, but it still has the cute straw pom pom accent and in my opinion a bit more subdued of a look. I'm a die hard Tory fan, but here I prefer good old Tarjay. Plus there's about a $300 savings, my checking account can breath a sigh of relief. <br />

I'm excited to share with you a few new purchases I've made recently. Oh, and as you can see I'm an Instagram Sistah so follow along if you'd like,<a href="http://web.stagram.com/n/vcwalton/"> vcwalton</a>.<br />
<br /><br />
First I just bought this precious love ring at <a href="http://nordstroms.com/">Nordstroms</a> and I was super excited when I spotted it. I love all different versions everyone has pinned like crazy, but not the prices. I'm all about investment jewelery, but not for small trendy trinkets. Only $28, thank you Nordi!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://distilleryimage10.instagram.com/a978cf7cc09311e180d51231380fcd7e_7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" class="photo" src="http://distilleryimage10.instagram.com/a978cf7cc09311e180d51231380fcd7e_7.jpg" /></a><br />
Next, my fabulous new <a href="http://www.loefflerrandall.com/LRProduct.aspx?ProductID=235&CategoryID=0">Loeffler Randall rain boots</a> arrived. My friend<a href="http://pisforparty.blogspot.com/"> Christi from P is for Party</a> had these first and I couldn't get them out of my head. She has them in green, and I just purchased the taupe color. They were 50% off and are so comfortable and stylish. Please let it rain!<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="" id="imgMedium" name="imgMedium" src="http://www.loefflerrandall.com/images/product/icon/235_2_.jpg" style="height: 38em; width: 38em;" /><br />
<br />
Don't you just love the zipper up the back?<br />
<br />
<img alt="" id="imgMedium" name="imgMedium" src="http://www.loefflerrandall.com/images/product/icon/235_1_.jpg" style="height: 38em; width: 38em;" /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />And lastly, I love my new minty/teal hued earrings from <a href="http://www.kendrascott.com/">Kendra Scott</a>. Also a wonderful purchase from <a href="http://nordstroms.com/">Nordstroms</a>. Here I am breaking them in and I couldn't resist a pic. I bought the smaller size since the large felt very heavy. Plus I'm a little weird about heavy earrings and paranoid my lobes will stretch. <br />
<br />
Check out my guest bath wallpaper. I love the <a href="http://us.farrow-ball.com/?utm_source=MSN&utm_medium=CPC&utm_term=Farrow%20and%20Ball&utm_content=FBBrand&utm_campaign=USCampaign">Farrow and Ball Lotus paper in charleston gray</a>. It was a total splurge that was worth every penny. That room makes me happy. <br />

They've kept the sturdy smooth leather and clean lines and added a rainbow of new colors and oversized clutches. I'm loving the cobalt blue, kelly green and orange bags. <br />
<br />
I'm in need of a good crossbody bag and I've been eyeing the Classic Shoulder bag in orange, but I just might have to wait and preview the new line when it launches August 1. Here's a peak, I think you'll be excited too. <br />

I originally got this idea from Pinterest see it<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/100838479127137567/"> here</a>, but I decide to take it to the next level.<br />
<br />
I took a galavinized pail and filled it with Jack Daniels, Cohibas and Pop Rocks (think about it). Obiviously this gift is not PG and intended for Adults only. All it took was hot glue, popcicle sticks, sand to weight the pail down and crinkle stuffing. You could modify this gift for any man, just add his favorites and maybe a gag item or too.<br />

You may remember the matching ballet flats I scored and wrote about <a href="http://onehautekid.blogspot.com/2011/08/tip-toe-twins.html">here</a>. <br />
<br />
Well friends it happened again! I bought <a href="http://www.ninewest.com/Paulyne/8332745,default,pd.html?variantSizeClass=&variantColor=BKNMUSY&cgid=5241467&prefn1=catalog-id&prefv1=ninewest-catalog">these sandals from Nine West</a> for spring/summer and a couple of weeks later I found coordinating sandals for my girls from Target.<br />

I've been a busy lady lately with work, kids and life. This weekend was a gorgeous one here in Houston and the family and I took full advantage. Today we hit the tennis club for a little family match. It was my 5 year old and me against daddy. Of course daddy can play pro if we wanted, so the two against one still put us at a disadvantage. But we tried! <br />
<br />
Here's our future <a href="http://www.mariasharapova.com/">Maria Sharapova</a> if daddy has his way. Ask him and his dream is to have his girls be the next Williams sisters.<br />
<br />
She's definitely on trend with her neon Addidas tennis shirt. She was hard to miss on the court today.<br />
<br />

I thought I was in good shape before I started this class - I run half marathons, play tennis, pilates reformer classes and mat <em>and</em> ballet barre works. All in all I'm in pretty good shape. But this chair class has been a humbling experience. Here's the torture machine.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjodj3PGRgI8B9EzlMVjQYYpIDXOQnqslJXOhauAJVOySkaY-uUy7vHkR7bYjS7Nh37EcLwB4gEcSzpbgsq0dZ1yB4u3AjSsiWx0jhtJ1xlOz3XSF592TXCVW-CvIZxa1JoefnugCaKphfQ/s1600/4710-2510_298%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjodj3PGRgI8B9EzlMVjQYYpIDXOQnqslJXOhauAJVOySkaY-uUy7vHkR7bYjS7Nh37EcLwB4gEcSzpbgsq0dZ1yB4u3AjSsiWx0jhtJ1xlOz3XSF592TXCVW-CvIZxa1JoefnugCaKphfQ/s400/4710-2510_298%5B1%5D.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
It looks easy enough right? Ha! Don't be fooled by its simplistic appearance. This chair will kick your workout into high gear and torture you every step of the way. It takes all I've got to not slip off and hurl myself off the chair during class. <br />
<br />
Don't believe me? Take a look at this video; but it's a bit deceiving. These professionals make it look so easy and it's not. It's hard! Want to challenge you work out and take it to the next level? Go join an MVe Chair class. You won't be disappointed<br />

They have just about every college team you can think of and of course I had to order two Longhorn tees for my girls. I think daddy is just as excited as they are. <br />

Why? Because if JCrew (a.k.a. JCrack) says so, then you know it's a must have necessity. One of my favorite outfits from their spring show was this cute Kelly green and leopard number. <br />
<br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">After seeing the above, I got super excited when I strolled into Old Navy and say this beautiful Kelly green tunic for $30. It's so insanely cute on and made of a soft flowy fabric; perfect for spring and summer. I am invisioning maybe those JCrew leopard shorts with it or white jeans. Gotta have white jeans for spring/summer. It's my uniform; skinny, cropped, boot cut or trouser, I've got them all. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It will be my third time to run and I am every bit as excited as I was the first time. The event is so exciting, inspiring and I always finish wth a huge sense of accomplishment. <br />
<br />
I had to skip last year's event because I had my little Sloaney Bear in my belly. This year will make 4 years that I started running as a way to burn fat and get my booty in shape. Prior to my first half I was never a runner, but I found myself at an interesting point in my life with time and a body that wasn't the same after baby. So I decided to give running a try and I am addicted. <br />
<br />
When I started, I knew if I was really going to go for something big like 13.25 miles I needed the right gear. Here are my must-have tools to becoming an avid runner. I can't stress enough how important these tools are to keeping yourself motivated. So please don't cheat yourself. If you start out with an inexpensive $40 pair of running shoes, some daisy dukes and unrealistic goals you will give it up. Gauranteed. For what it's worth here's what works for me.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Running Shoes</strong></div>I mean the real deal $100 plus running shoes. I recommend you visit a true running store where someone can analize your gate and foot. A great pair of running shoes are expensive for a reason. Don't think you can save your self $50 or $60 and you won't notice the difference. You will. And you have to get running shoes, not crosstrainers, not aerobic and not tennis shoes. Personally I like the <a href="http://www.runningcenters.com/p/288-asics-gel-nimbus-13-limited-edition-womens.aspx?cmb=731,0,0">Ascis Gel Nimbus</a>. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="product-beautyshot" id="beautyshot" src="http://www.runningcenters.com/images/product/288/288_9340_med.jpg" style="display: inline; opacity: 1;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Run Wear</strong></div><div style="text-align: left;">Find yourself a comfortable running outfit that won't ride up or rub in certain areas. When you start running long distances you'll notice right away when the tag of your pants or shorts is suddenly irritating the heck out of your skin. You also don't want to be self conscious or tugging at your clothes the entire time you are exercising.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Ladies, find a great running bra. This is one of the number one complaints I hear from friends, "I can't stand to have my boobs bouncing all over the place." I say, double bag the produce. I have been known to wear two running bras if needed. If you are a large breasted woman, you want them pulled in and tight, if not you could end up with back and shoulder pains later. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Shorts or pants, tees or tanks it doesn't really matter just as long as you are comfortable. I have a huge selection of running clothes from Target. I just recently discovered <a href="http://lululemon.com/">Lululemon</a> and I am a diehard fan. The running crops are phenonminal and worth every penny you'll pay for them. Nothing jiggles when you run and you could bounce a quarter off your bum they fit so go. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have these</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Run:Inspire Crop II" src="http://images.lululemon.com/is/image/lululemon/LW6085S_9903_1?$pdp_main$" title="Run:Inspire Crop II" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and these</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Run:Back On Track Crop" src="http://images.lululemon.com/is/image/lululemon/LW6690S_0001_1?$pdp_main$" title="Run:Back On Track Crop" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am also enjoying this running jacket and the <a href="http://shop.lululemon.com/products/clothes-accessories/women-tops/Run-Swiftly-Tech-SS-33071?cc=9732&skuId=3429191&catId=women-tops">super soft Swiftly tee</a> when the weather is cooler.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Run: Essential Jacket " src="http://images.lululemon.com/is/image/lululemon/LW4941S_0001_1?$pdp_main$" title="Run: Essential Jacket " /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Run:Swiftly Tech SS" class="pdpMainImg" id="img1" src="http://images.lululemon.com/is/image/lululemon/LW3033S_0825_1?$pdp_main$" title="Run:Swiftly Tech SS" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Music Motivation</strong></div><div style="text-align: left;">If you want to start running and you don't have some sort of MP3 Player, go buy one now. Music can be extremely motivating on a run. I change up my play list reguraly and always have a variety of songs on hand to keep me moving. It can also help to clear your head of anything that's distracting. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I recently discover this cool site called <a href="http://www.rockmyrun.com/">Rock My Run</a> through Pinterest and I am constantly downloading new music and it's free. Even better. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Technological Support</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;">Both of my next two items came out of necessity when running took over as my main form of exercise. First, the <a href="http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&cp=9&gs_id=x&xhr=t&q=polar+calorie+counter&tok=oNBV5jRWlcZQlDDt7De47A&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1280&bih=831&wrapid=tljp1326172387515014&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=4384849692974048845&sa=X&ei=38gLT9WXBqGU2AXA5aSeBw&sqi=2&ved=0CHYQ8gIwAw#">Polar Heart Rate and Calorie Monitor</a>. I needed this when I was running pregnant and had to keep my heart rate below 140. But now I use it all the time to track how many calories I burn. It's fun to see if you are actually working off that bag of Shipley's donut holes you had for breakfast or the fajita dinner the night before. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Polar FT40 F Heart Rate Monitor, White" sb_id="ms__id20511" src="http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/public/3ULBEkyp4Rdp_GYSo8BaRcfriFSXpkDHgiOFUkuAvM_hnOltPJJhjxtS7211grkLxp5Z_xrEHtXuTKkvJUqYMoyXzK90-ruxR5prnR35m8niuv624IHndvXZ490ZxNtMd6cHAId_hfqlsRfqglp4aMjmazHyLypCT1mVW4Y1gfFHZFVMYS5eNVpSNt0PErowli2yB9QimIfPxxqi1FmgrRu_R6RLet8bW4CDbBbYD0BhUHQj3i1ug0ZXPr70DSosy60tP04Qv4i_ANl9TAwl8B95FuIHGb_a_wHEuQcpd829kmBfbeBJydC-_CEmNRVTRLtfmMxAfrLjLer6oOTlNfMs" title="Polar FT40 F Heart Rate Monitor, White" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Next is my new favorite introduced to me by my friends, Amber and Lynn. It's the <a href="http://www.abvio.com/runmeter/">RunMeter App</a> and it rocks. It's so dang cool even my hubby is hooked. It tracks your distance, pace, maps out your routes and elevations and it's all done via GPS on your phone. So darn cool you should try it. This is helpful when I just want to run and not have to hope in my car and map out my route via my car's odometer. Lame I know, but that's what I had to do before RunMeter.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcxAIHBNm7BZ0tek5bg70NhboWuP2VURRyBeSlh1AyLaXzvm__ExfEEV_KA_fmt6WEphrPL1B_qUMrMNcVU3Se7MzRqfm1MiJtwQmuuqFUvza6dFVsqAcR0Jm0d_V8FC3vXSnKRLgkljvj/s1600/runmeter+app.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcxAIHBNm7BZ0tek5bg70NhboWuP2VURRyBeSlh1AyLaXzvm__ExfEEV_KA_fmt6WEphrPL1B_qUMrMNcVU3Se7MzRqfm1MiJtwQmuuqFUvza6dFVsqAcR0Jm0d_V8FC3vXSnKRLgkljvj/s400/runmeter+app.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Be Realistic</strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Lastly, I add this as a tool because it's so important and probably the most critical piece of advice I can share with you. Have realistic goals. If you are not a runner and want to give it a shot don't expect to head out your first day and crank out 3 miles. You'll only dissapoint yourself. Work your way up to a safe and healthy training schedule. When I first started running after one mile I was spent. I mean beat red in the face, sweating profusely and gasping for air. But hey, I ran a mile and for me that was a good start. Each week I would push myself just a bit to increase my distance, but I did it slowly. When I reached 3 miles I celebrated big time. I think it involved margaritas or some form of alchol.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If you want to strive for something like a 10K or half marathon or even a full marathon give yourself plenty of time to train. For my first half I trained for 10 months. When the time came I was so worried I wasn't going to be ready, but I rocked it ;) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A<em>lways</em> listen to your body. There are many days I'll head out for a run and have in my head I am going to run 6 or 7 miles and after 2 or 3 I have to turn home. For whatever reason I just don't have it in me that day and that's okay because you never want to push yourself too far. An injury can set you way back or stop you all together. If my knee is sore or my ankle is tender from a long run I take a few days off and give my body a rest.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I hope this helps some of you with your new years resolutions or motivates you to give running a try. This is what works for me; a mother of two approaching 40. Eeek. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Like that detailed review? No but seriously, it’s pretty darn cool. <br />
<br />
It's pretty, fits nicely in a corner, adjustable, sturdy and Sloane loves it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My favorite feature, I can slide her right up to the table and she can sit with us to eat. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is an additional tray table you can purchase, which may be handy when she’s really into self feeding and making a mess. <br />
<br />
As for the safety concerns of tipping backwards, I don’t see how a child could physically do it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tried it and physically could not make it happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It appears those areas have been addressed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My opinion, it’s worth every penny.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Here's Sloane in action. She's six months old and as you can see, we don't miss a meal ;)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Mark my words, I am going to get that same expression when she's a teenager.</span></div><br />

If you have a Mediterranean market by your home where you can get authentic seasoned pita chips and tzatziki sauce; not your local grocery store brand, it makes them that much more mouth watering good.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We also made them with ground lamb not beef. So good!</span><br />
