Favorite Running/Workout Clothing

Yes, you read that correctly! I am just over a month into Couch to 5k. I had done the program before back in college but then with my move, hurting my foot, long work hours, etc etc I stopped. I started back up again and I am loving it! I am a big believer in C25K-basically you just do interval training: walk then jog, walk then jog, adding more jogging and less walking each week. By the end of week 8/9 you are basically running for a full 20-30 minutes! You can print out the schedule for free or download the app to your phone/ipod.

I have been "running" in these Hana 2 in 1 shorts from Athleta. I hate when shorts ride up (ugh) and I'm always too hot in capris/pants. These awesome shorts have an inner short (spandex/bike short material) that stays in place!!


They also have a ZIP pocket for your keys. I hate that many workout bottoms don't have a zipper on the pocket. I don't want to risk my key falling out! The bigger sizes frequently sell out BUT they do restock and add new colors so check the website often!

ooh hopefully this is me in a couple more months! ;)

My favorite shirt is the GapFit Breathe V-neck T. It is SUPER SOFT but also breathable. You could definitely wear this as a regular shirt and no one would know it's technically a workout shirt.




I had a Lululemon giftcard so I bought two of these Swiftly Tech shirts. If you want to splurge these are great!


Gap has a great equivalent to the Lululemon shirt above. I have the color below and I will definitely get more!


Last time Old Navy had a 30% off everything I stocked up on these capris for when it is cooler

I would love to hear your running gear recommendations!!! Do you have a favorite pair of shirts or go to top?

The Dahl House GIVEAWAY!

I am partnering with the Dahl House to give one lucky reader a hooded towel! These are perfect for babies, toddlers, and small children (I am hoping for adult sizes next ;)

The newest design is this polka dot lobster. Isn't it cute?


I think these nautical themed hooded towels would make the perfect baby gift! Or bring them along to the pool or beach for post-swim!

Here is Whitney's daughter modeling the sailboat towel:

Weekend Recap: Getty Villa & C.Wonder

This was a very busy weekend! Friday night I was supposed to go to dinner with a friend but she had to cancel so I stayed over at my sister's. I will take any extra time I can get with Baby Nautical! There was actually a small plane crash pretty close to my apartment so staying at my sister's was the best way to avoid traffic too.

Saturday I met up with Leeann, Lauren, and Meg at the Getty Villa in Malibu. I hadn't been since it reopened so I was excited to finally check it out (years later)!

Lauren, Meg, Leeann, me

The weather was PERFECT, the grounds are gorgeous, and you can't beat an ocean view!

The girls doing a craft: we made our own mummies!

Our finished mummies! We still need to paint/decorate

Sunday my dc sister (who is here for a month) and I went to Fashion Island in Newport Beach to check out the newly opened C. Wonder. Seriously amazing store!! I could have spent hours browsing! They will monogram any of their clothing/accessories that you buy in store. I got a cardigan and oxford monogrammed. I'll be posting more about those when I pick them up.

I also popped into Vineyard Vines and found the cutest whale cutting board!

Today I am back at work after almost two weeks of vacation. Always tough to get back into the routine but I missed my little guy!

Linking up with Leeann for the Weekend Update!

Sun Valley recap

I had a great time on our family trip to Sun Valley. My family has been going to Sun Valley long before I was born (over 30 years at this point!) and I have so many wonderful memories from childhood trips.

The lodge with gorgeous flowers in front!

Sun Valley is the perfect place for family vacations! When we were little we built forts in the trees, raced sticks in the streams, and rode our bikes for hours!
Stream outside our house:


Now that I am older I love to just sit outside and people watch! Baby Nautical loved watching the ducks in the pond and kids ice skating (there is an outdoor ice skating rink).


In August they have a free symphony on the grass. We set up chairs, enjoyed the music, and watched tons and tons of kids run around. There are adorable kids and the cutest dogs EVERYWHERE in Sun Valley!


View from the house:


Pretty flowers everywhere!

(not sure what happened with the lighting on this photo from my ipod touch-my hands and feet look super white while the rest of me looks tan. HA!)

The view on my run:


The back of the lodge:


Flowers, streams, and ponds!


The ice show is so fun! Skating under the stars!
