New Year Resolution: Shred the Weight

The New Year is going to be here this weekend. I've spent the last four months learning how to care for my beautiful baby girl. I thought that I was going to bounce back to my pre-preggers body, but I learned that when breastfeeding it wasn't in the best interest of my baby to drop the weight like celebrities do in six weeks. I read that it can negatively effect the infant when a woman does that. Okay! No problem. So as I approach the New Year and my baby is much stronger and getting ready for solids, I find that I might have listened to the advice a bit too well. I am so out of shape! Should I really be surprised?!

I'll be blogging about the process at Modern Girl Style because I plan on getting amped up and back into shape. I will be realistic. I wasn't just a week ago. I went in for a massage and I was told I was crazy to launch into P90X. I ran the NYC marathon just a few years back. Who was I now in this new post-baby body? Only time will tell.

Jillian Michaels and her K-Swiss

I'll be posting links to great workouts, products, and other bloggers that inspire my journey back to renewed health. Why wait for New Year's Day! The above video with Jillian Michaels looks on par with P90X. I will modify the workout for my body by doing less time. I'm also going to sign-up for the Self 2012 Challenge to track my progress online. I'm also a huge fan of Tone it Up. I hope that you join me in personally challenging yourself to break out the comfort zone and shake your booty!

I love these videos!!

Thinking About: New Year's Resolutions

Remember to always carry a good camera, and until Feb, and the new season think about "What Makes a Great Camera?"

Getting that "back to school" feeling...

Although as for many of us in the UK, I slow-down till the new year as I plan for spring 

which means I should have my sewing machine taking over the kitchen by now...

Ashley Stark's Apartment. The Old in the New

I love it when people reuse their old furniture into their new homes and find a new place for them. The pictures above are of Ashley Stark's new Manhattan high rise featured in Elle Decor. The first picture is my absolute favorite featuring my dream chandelier by Jean de Merry.

Below are of her old apartment featured in the now deceased Domino Magazine. Can you spot which furniture she reused?

Open for Business... I shop local...

 

As a make-and-mender, while I was playing with drappy old suits and blazers people went crazy at the sales in Westminster fighting for  passé schmuters!”

Especially in Westminster where most of the news is negitave they have put up the cost of parking up to £4.80  it seems till 01:00 am so that only the wealthy can enjoy the amenities it offers and most of Oxford Street and its Tat... 

Sorry for the blur she was very shy... The detail on her knit top are delicate metal studs...

Last Minute Holiday Gift to the Most Stylish Man + Giveaway

(Rayban Aviators, Iceberg Jacket, Diesel T-shirt, Seven Jeans, Gucci Shoes)

I always have a hard time buying my dad a gift especially when it comes to clothes because he's so tall (6'4") and super picky. As you can see, my dad isn't just an ordinary dad. He's a super stylish one who lives in t-shirts and jeans (last outfit is his uniform). Since he hardly ever wears sweaters, I thought it'd be nice to get him a stylish v-neck sweater and I found mine at TJ Maxx for half its original price. Best of all? My dad liked it so much and agreed to pose for an outfit post!

Now, for the giveaway: TJ Maxx/Marshalls and I are giving away two $50 gift cards. Tweet at us three (twitter.com/aimeesong, twitter.com/marshalls, twitter.com/tjmaxx) your TJ Maxx/Marshalls holiday gifts that was under $50 and the best gifts will win!

Spanish Charm

I'm so in love with this beautiful Spanish style home. It reminds me of this home I used to live in Glendale for a brief time with all the Spanish influences. I love how lived in this home looks and all the rustic architectural details are driving me nuts.. such as the stone wall, wooden beams, and the porous fireplace (I'm assuming it's concrete.)

I'm really not a fan of those black leather sofas but in this home, it works so well.

Now, let's talk about the blue and white chevron tiles in the kitchen with the army of Spanish men playing instruments. Wouldn't this make cooking that much more enjoyable? I might actually stay in the kitchen and cook rather than burning food!
