Yep. This is what I get when I don't have Photographer Extraordinaire. Lot's of mediocre pictures of my FACE. haha I can not WAIT, to get back in my normal routine...this also includes me eating a big chunk of the insides of a french bread dipped in hummus and soaked in a glass of Shiraz.

By now you have probably seen all of the Spring trends in magazines, on celebrities, or even on your favorite bloggers...don't worry I have succumbed to most of the trends myself....I mean they are trends for a reason. From Neon to pastels, colored pants to high low tops, all of the most popular stores are carrying these looks. For those of you who know me and those of you who are just getting to know me (hi and welcome!) I am a thrifter…a serious," I had to start a self-help group called Thrifters Anonymous, created a new room in the house to justify my addiction" THRIFTER! I do shop at the occasional Forever 21 and higher end stores like BCBG, one of my favorite designers…but for the most part, Savers, Goodwill, Marshalls, TJ Max, and Ross to name a few, are some of my favorite places to go.
Unique pieces, vintage and one of a kind with an occasional “this is at Jcrew right now!” type of items
are what I look for. I took some inspiration from spring trends and gave it a
twist (you can do that when you are a thrifter by the way.) I don't have a lot
of these pieces, but these four pieces have become my go to pieces to remix
lately! Summer is coming or well is here for some of us, but I wanted to
highlight some of my favorite “thrifty” trends. I have worn them a couple of times and here is
What I Wore!
This bright yellow pencil skirt has been one of my all-time favorite go to pieces. This one in particular is vintage and cost me all of $1.50. While I love color skinny jeans, I didn’t love the price tag! So this was my alternative. I have over 5 different colors and I can’t wait to re-mix all of them. Don’t be afraid to try it..just keep the same styling rules for bright colors. Neutral heels always work and if you are scared of a patterns go for a solid for color blocking and knock out two trends at once!
Lately I have been finding amazing blouses like
this leopard one. The only problem is they are little big on me…believe me I am
not complaining, but I just couldn’t pass it up…so I just tied it up in the
front and VOILA! A high low blouse.
Don’t pass it them up anymore! I have a neon one, a striped one and this
one that I can’t wait to wear for spring!
I have found the most vibrant colored leather
skirts in my thrifting adventures…and at first I passed them up. I mean…leather
and Vegas heat just didn’t seem like a good idea. But this one in particular is
a vintage number that was really thin leather…lightweight and not warm at
all…and coral? I have a bright neon green one, a black one, and I am on the
hunt for an orange one! Another rule of thumb when it comes to thrifting …NO
RULES…just say it is vintage…and it is ALWAYS in season!
I know,
leopard! Color jeans are all the rage ( haha I never say that...funny)..and I have a few pairs from F21 that I
LOVE! But I really LOVE these leopard skinnies…a year ago you would have never
seen me wearing these ridiculous animal print jeans…let alone skinny jeans…but
paired with a t-shirt that is comfy enough to sleep in from Old Navy, and all
of a sudden they are better than regular blue jeans! I just picked up a pair of
yellow and grey leopard skinnies too!
You can
check out my What We Wore Series on youtube and I hope to be showing more of
my favorite thrifty finds and Summer trends! A lot of you have asked me to show some of my favorite thrift finds, lookbooks etc...I am so behind on a few things..and will be announcing the winner to the Fashion to Figure Giveaway soon I promise...more giveaways, some reviews and more video!!!

Well, I was so excited that I got to see P.E. this week...us not working together has been tough...I miss her...but we are making it work... even though I am not thrilled with my pastel outfit...mostly cuz I realized that apparently my eyeballs do not spot pastel colors...I mostly only see blues, grey, and shoes...I know not a color but I can't help myself...that anything vintage...which int his day an age is everything from the 80's haha
Anyway, you guys were so positive on this post from yesterday on my egg white muffin,s that I will continue to post some of my recipes and ideas since starting this madness...I have a really good one coming next week..I have so much to catch up on...Giveaway winner and new giveaways too...ok...gotta get some sleep...it's Wednesday...for me...you shall read this Thursday...in case you were wondering...
P.S. If you have any questions, as some of you did, please email me at dhnshana@aol.com or you can ask me on my FACEBOOK page also!
***EDIT*** In order for them to not get mushy you must remove them from the pan and let sit on a baking rack until they cool down..then place them in zip lock bags, 2 per bag making sure that all of the air is out. They will last all week! No mushy mess!! Also, I did not include any oats in this recipe just egg whites and veggies! Enjoy! I will be re-doing this and updating soon!
So I have been experimenting with different variations..I am 9 weeks out from the competition and I am getting a little bored if ya know what I mean. I will switch back and forth from this breakfast to my Protein Pancakes I posted about a couple of weeks ago. Is this something you guys want me to post more? I have been getting a lot of questions and so I thought I would try and share. I have also been getting some questions on my workout routine...while it is ever changing I will be posting some videos of exercises that I am loving for the week...
Let me know if this is something you guys want to see...I am not quite ready for before pics...but I am just in complete shock...mildly terrified and totally determined at this point...Maybe I will do an update video...? Anyway let me know your thoughts...or if there is anything you guys want to know!!!
