I’m actually heading to New York for fashion week today! Yay! It seems surreal after last September, when I had to cancel my trip last minute due to a medical emergency. I am so thankful to be healthy right now, and to be able to go to New York for fashion week! This isn’t just a work trip, it feels like a miracle!
Although we are still in winter 2019, and spring 2019 is hitting store shelves, I will be viewing the fall/winter 2019/2020 collections. It seems a bit crazy right?! It should be interesting to see which trends from this season will continue into next year. It is always fun to get a sneak peek and share it with you!
If you would like to see what is going on during fashion week, be sure to join me on Instagram. I will be sharing everything real-time via Instagram Stories.

Spring 2019 is hitting store shelves, this means it is time to figure out what to keep from last year, and what we need to add to our closets in the new year. The runways brought us several new, and repeating trends for the upcoming warm weather season. Some trends made it from the runway to store shelves, while others, never made it off the catwalk. Here is a list of trends which have made the transition from runway to street for the spring 2019 season. Knowing these trends will help us all shop our closets, then, we can fill them in with what we need!
Spring 2019 shopping list: outerwear
Trench coats and athletic jackets are the two types of outerwear you will want to wear this spring 2019 season. Look for 1980s inspired track jackets, stadium jackets, and jackets in general. Classic trench coats will also be your go-to on non-athleiure days. Look for jacket length styles as well as coat length when shopping for the ultimate trench coat.
Spring 2019 shopping list: clothing
Athleisure is getting more and more popular as time marches on. Look for track suits, leggings with tops, and gym to street looks.
Anything with a 1980s vibe is hotter than hot. Look for neon hues, exaggerated sleeves, ankle boots, and gasp! Shoulder pads!
Cropped pants. How dare your pants brush up against your ankle! Wide leg pants through skin tight pants should be cropped. We need to see those fabulous booties, chunky sneakers, and colorful sandals!
Mixed print dresses are the ultimate spring dress style. Look for dresses with built-in mixed prints, v-necks, and asymmetrical lines.
Stripes are hotter than hot this spring season. Look for nautical stripes, wide, stripes, and all types of stripes.
Neon hues and pastel shades are the colors to look for this spring. Pastels may not be ground breaking, but they will be your go-to color palette if neon isn’t your thing.
Look for a continuation of menswear inspirations, blazers over jeans, plaid and mixed plaids, matching sets aka suits, and 1970s inspiration.
Spring 2019 shopping list: handbags
You can check out my full report on spring 2019 handbag trends here. In general, look for neon, pastel or black colors. Mixed colors are also a thing. Look for square shapes rather than last year’s circle, and think small but not nano.
Spring 2019 shopping list: shoes
Chunky and funky street sneakers are all the rage this spring 2019 season! Also, look for multi-color, bright footwear to brighten up your look. Kitten heels are also the go-to heel height this spring while boots are continuing to be a year-round trend; so cold spring days are solved with booties-love that!
There you have it! Look for lower priced items on trends which are continuing or seem fleeting. You can invest in classic trends such as trench coats and black handbags; that is a great way to spend your spring dollars. Since the 1980s are a growing trend, it is also a good trend to invest in this spring. When it comes to the 1970s, shop your closet or look for lower priced items since that decade’s influence may start to wane when we move into 2020.
Have a fabulous time shopping for spring 2019! Here are a few of my favorite things for the new, warm weather season.
Which trends are you excited about? Any you plan to stay away from?
Happy New Year! OK, so technically it is the end of January, so we are looking at roughly eleven more months of 2019, but a girl can craft her goals a few weeks late right?
The new year is proving to be extremely busy! I need to squeeze in my workouts between my children’s schedule, my work schedule, and life in general. I am so thankful for the clothing from adidas! I know I’ve said it before, they have the best attire for getting through my day; and slipping in a workout. Street to gym outfits are my saving grace! Who has time to change?? Not I!
Since 2019 is a busy year already, and I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon, my new fitness routine will be a bit different than it has been in the past. To start off the year, my January and February workout routine will include cardio, strength, and interval training. I plan to switch things up in March.
My fitness goals in the new year is to try and lose ten pounds while building strength back up in my core; which became quick weak after my surgery last year. I did lose five pounds last year, so I am getting there! With this new routine, I am confident it will be easier to reach my goals.
Here is my current workout routine for January and February to kick-start my fitness goals:
Monday: Step class
Tuesday: rest day/20 minute walk with the kids
Wednesday: Treadmill and weights
Thursday: rest day/20 minute walk with the kids
Friday: Bodypump class
Saturday: Spin class or family hike outside.
Sunday: Cardio kickboxing before church
In addition to this new workout routine, I plan to continue counting calories, avoid sugar, and eat carbs at breakfast and lunch, not dinner. I will keep you posted on how this works! I don’t really go for fad diets, so eating healthy, and timing my carbs, is how I will proceed.
Like I mentioned before, my schedule is packed. My busy days don’t allow much time for me to change before or after my workouts. Athleisure looks from adidas are my saving grace. I save so much time in their street to gym clothing and accessories!
