How to stay stylish yet comfortable over Thanksgiving Break!

Hey guys,
  Ever wonder how to stay comfortable over Thanksgiving break? I know so many people that get so consumed with cooking and preparing that they forget that while also being comfortable while engaging in the activities of Thanksgiving you can also be very comfortable. How you may ask?
Well.......
1) Wear flats instead of uncomfortable heels or boots.
Ballet Flats, Oxfords or Loafers are all very comfortable shoes that will allow you to stand for long periods of time but allow you to still look stylish! These flats are from target!

2) Wear simple tops with prints or embellishments
Add some style with your comfort! The cross sweatshirt is from Nordstroms and the embellished sweater is from zappos.

3) Opt for colorful jeans instead of the party dress
You can find colored denim anywhere now a days! You can pair these jeans with any kind of shirt and still look very stylish!

4) If you want to dress up..GO PEPLUM!)
Peplum is so huge right now! This cute shirt is from Urban Outfitters!

5) Accessorise!
Watches, earrings, bracelets, necklaces all allow you to have fun with your style and stay in comfort!
The watch is from Micheal Kors. The peter pan bib necklace is from ASOS.

 

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

JOIN ME IN MY 30 DAY WEIGHTLOSS CHALLENGE!

Hello All!

  I told you in my last post to stay tuned for my weight loss challenge and here it is! I had to wait until I was mentally prepared to do it because it is really hard to lose weight when you are not mentally ready. (Just being real). I wanted this 30 day challenge to kick off my healthy lifestyle. I wanted to extend the invitation to all of the readers of Church Girl Chic and Brielle Chic.
  My Goal is to lose a pound a day for 30 days. Now I know that it will be difficult but I am ready for the ride and I hope you are as well! So you may be asking..how is she going to do this? Well I have devised a plan of attack against the fat!

1. I plan on getting 6-8 hours of sleep everyday! I want to be well rested and enough sleep helps fight against weight gain!
2. I plan on eating 5 small meals a day (Three meals Two snacks)
3. I plan on doing a 30 minute cardio session and a 30 minute circuit training session and the morning. In the evening I plan on doing my Insanity workout!
4. Drinking water is going to be very important for me during this weight loss challenge! I am planning on drinking 10-12 cups of water a day (80-96 oz.) I will not drink pop, carbonated drinks or artificial  fruit juices. I will have my cup of Joe and drink tea as well.
5. I will not have any sweets during this challenge! Remember it is good to allow yourself a cheat day. However, because I am trying to lose a pound a day I will not add any sugar to my daily diet.
6. To stay committed to this challenge I plan on posting updates on the blog, on the church girl chic facebook page, twitter and on instagram @crystalbrielle. Instead of posting before pictures on the blog I plan on creating a video to explain the challenge for whoever wants to join me.

This Challenge will begin on Monday November 19, 2012! Join in the fun!

Much Love and God Bless!

My new love: Online Shopping!!!!!!!

Hello Lovelies!
  I am back with my first official post! Since I have been gone I have not had a lot of time to do a lot of things so I discovered "ONLINE SHOPPING!" I promise you, if you do it once, it starts to become an addiction! I love it and over the course of this year I have come across a few boutiques online where I have bought things from and also where I plan on buying some goodies from. Online shopping is so convenient especially if you have a busy schedule such as mine. I have compiled a list of a few online boutiques which I love love love! I hope you guys love them too!

Rebel Royal Boutique
An up and coming boutique that has a lot of trending fashions in stock! The accessories in this boutique is what I love the most! They have a lot of statement jewelry for those risk takers out there! I love this bib necklace  that seems to be a very popular item on the site.

Mimi Boutique
I love this online boutique because it offers a wide variety of merchandise for different types of customers. This online boutique also offers a lot of trending items at very reasonable prices!

Mimi Boutique


Lola Shoetique
One of my recent finds that I think is going to be my all time favorite is Lola Shoetique! They have a plethora of shoes for every occasion and season! If you want wedges, booties, stilettos, flats of riding boots, they have it all for very very reasonable prices!

Have fun shopping!! Stay tuned for an upcoming 30 day weight loss challenge to prepare for the holidays!

Much Love and God Bless!
