Studio To Street Style

September 11, 2017 By Melanie No Comments

Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by. I know I’ve been slacking a bit on getting regular posts up for you but trust me, I’m doing my best to keep up with life! This post was originally meant for a recent Instagram partnership I did with one of my fav brands (5 points to anyone who can guess) — but I ended up loving this look so much that I wanted to share all the photos with you.

So here ya go! A studio to street look that’s chic, fun and super easy to throw together. I guarantee if you live in NYC, you probably already have most of what I’m wearing in your closet but I’ve linked the exact details at the very bottom of the post.

Honestly, my style has evolved a lot over the past few years and I’m really happy that living in NYC has made me thoroughly embrace the athleisure trend. From running errands, to getting brunch with friends, to hitting up my favorite yoga studios — street tights + denim = a really simple and smart combo.

What I love about this look is that it’s super comfortable and really easy to build on as we move into the cooler, Fall months. Just throw on a long sleeve shirt, roll down the jacket sleeves, add a scarf and maybe opt for ankle booties instead of the sneaks and you’re good to go!

If you’re going to invest in one athleisure item I’d go with a solid pair of street tights. And if you’re wondering what makes “street tights” different than yoga pants, I’ll tell you — there’s not really a huge difference. 😉 The good ones are just a little thicker and usually have some kind of functional detail (like pockets). When in doubt, just make sure they aren’t see-through and don’t have any crazy patterns. And remember, black or fake leather is always a good choice.

My tights are from Athleta but I’ve linked a few other options below!

I opted for my fav MVMT watch, Urban Outfitter sunglasses, Rebecca Minkoff handbag and these girly and fun sneaks I scored at Aldo! I think the colorful pins give the outfit a little something extra.

To shop my look just scroll through these goodies below. And if you come up with your own “studio to street” style, I’d love to see it! Be sure to tag or send me a DM so I can check it out.

Happy shopping!

With love,

Signature

One of the most difficult parts of being a new mom
One of the most difficult parts of being a new mom has been learning how to let go of the need to constantly be “productive”

and as a chronic overachiever, I’ve struggled a lot with tying self-worth to productivity. Which means accepting that my goals might take more of a backseat right now has been extra challenging

one thing that has helped shift my mindset was acknowledging that slowing down does NOT mean that I’m failing. In fact, days or even seasons of slowness are an important part of life and crucial for our overall physical and emotional wellbeing

Being able to reframe the classic thought pattern of “I did nothing today” to one of these more positive phrases is a helpful way to place the emphasis on self-care and acknowledge that there is joy to be found in slowing down 

if this post finds you, I hope it serves as a helpful validation that sometimes ✨rest✨ is truly the most important thing you can do for yourself 💕

As we enter what may feel like the busiest time of
As we enter what may feel like the busiest time of year, let this be your guide to ✨resetting your nervous system✨ so that you can help regulate stress and return to a state of calm 

GIVE YOURSELF A RELEASE
when your body just needs to let go of any pent up tension, stress or anxiety — movement and allowing yourself to FEEL all of the emotions can be the best medicine

GROUND YOURSELF IN THE PRESENT
after releasing the feelings and energy, try a few grounding practices to reorient your nervous system and come back to the present moment 

ACTIVATE THE RELAXATION RESPONSE
slow down and help your body transition to the parasympathetic nervous system (otherwise known as the “rest & digest” state) with activities like breathwork, yoga, or even a long hug 

GET SUPPORT FROM LOVED ONES
intentionally surround yourself with people who help you regulate your stress vs add to it. The feeling of being safe and supported can’t ever be underestimated 

PRIORITIZE DEEP REST 
at the end of the day, practicing good sleep hygiene and prioritizing rest can be the best thing you do for your mind and body. These restorative moments allow for your nervous system to truly reset and recover 

Be sure to SAVE this post for whenever you may need it this holiday season and share it if you feel like it would be helpful to anyone you know! 💕

It’s the beginning of the most wonderful time of year and my absolute favorite holiday🎄❤️

I know Nov 1st may seem a little early to start celebrating the Christmas season for some but I always feel like this time of year flies by too fast. So decorating our home early and starting all the fun Christmas baking, crafts and festive activities feels like a special way to make the most of the holidays ❤️

Who else will be spending the weekend decorating?

The person who sent you this wants to have a spooky date night in to celebrate Halloween 🎃

Halloween isn’t my fav holiday but I do love a themed cozy evening with my favorite person… and it feels even more special these days as new parents. So we decided to have a SPOOKY date complete with homemade pizzas (with ghost shaped mozzarella), blackberry smash cocktails, a candle painting craft, pumpkin ice cream, and a rewatch of “Haunting of Bly Manor” 🖤 

PS: I’m not a big horror movie fan but this show is such a well done metaphor of how grief can haunt you and the tone feels much more gothic romance than classic jump scares 

Anywaaay, after tomorrow I’m looking forward to decorating our home for Christmas and you can expect lots of cozy, whimsical ideas to savor and celebrate the holiday season coming soon ☺️

“When we are together darling, every night is Halloween.” 🖤

Lily was invited to her first Halloween party yesterday so we obviously had to dress up as one of the most iconic, creepy + kooky families ever! And I know I’m so biased but I don’t think I’ve seen a cuter Wednesday Addams 🥹

Such a fun way to celebrate spooky season (and a pretty easy family costume if you’re in need of something last minute!) 

But what do you guys think? Is it creepy or cute? 👇🏼

You all know I love a mindful morning routine, but in this season of life, cozy evening rituals have been everything for me ✨💕

If you’re looking for quick and simple ways to add a little more hygge into your evenings, these are some of my personal favorites to: 

Restore your Body
✨just a few minutes of intentional movement or nourishing self care can help your body relax, unwind and prepare for a good night’s sleep 

Clear your Mind
✨ stop the scroll and opt for more positive ways to reduce the mental clutter. Taking a few minutes to reflect and reset your thoughts can help you fall asleep with a clear mind 

Soothe your Soul
✨the quiet moments of the evening provide the perfect opportunity to choose activities that make you happy. Whether it’s reading a book, trying a new cozy hobby or even as simple as stepping outside to look at the moon & stars… choose to end your day with warmth and ease 

If you’d like to receive my free printable Autumn Reflections guided journal, just comment JOURNAL and I’ll send it straight to your inbox. It’s the perfect thing to add to your cozy evening (or morning) routine 🧡
