Getting Back on Track w/ A Healthy Breakfast

Over the course of last weekend I ate really unhealthy and I just felt sickened by the whole thing. To get back on track I'm trying to find easy, healthy recipes that I can make quickly. The worst thing about eating unhealthy is feeling dead and having no energy. When I started to eat a lot healthier I noticed so many positive things. I had more energy, I felt better and my skin even started clearing up. And when I don't eat healthy I just feel like meh. I've found a few recipes that are super easy and healthy for you that I'd like to share!


Healthy Smoothie // Blend strawberries, blueberries, yogurt, ice and a bit of oats together and just drink it on the go!


Apple Granola Sandwich // This looks amazing! It's just an apple {my favorite is honeycrisp}, granola and peanut butter.


Yogurt Parfait // I love yogurt in the morning; my favorite is peach/pomegranate chobani. This looks really delicious and all you need is yogurt, granola and some berries.


Toast Breakfast // Toast is an easy way to get filled up and a super quick on the go meal. Click the link to find out the official recipes! 


Chia Pudding with Plums and Figs // Chia seeds are super healthy for you and they help keep you full. And could this breakfast not look more delicious?

Tory Burch Resort 2014

I have a mild obsession with Tory Burch. Okay, it's a major obsession. Anything and everything Tory Burch I'm pretty much obsessed with! And the fact that Tory just came out with a new resort line is absolutely perfect. It's color scheme is spot on and everything in the collection is to die for! And check out that Tory Burch surfboard--can I please have it? This collection is making me even more eager for spring break to come so I can hopefully rock some styles similar to these!

Layering Jewelry

I'm all for the statement pieces, but there's just something about layering delicate jewelry that looks so chic. Especially if it's gold! I love gold jewelry and I always find myself only wearing gold jewelry--silver's just not my look. I think that little gold dainty necklaces, rings and bracelets look amazing layered. I think I need to invest in some more versatile jewelry because everything I own is sort of more of a statement. 






XOXO, Kate

Kendall Jenner

Obsessed would be an understatement on how I feel about Kendall Jenner. I seriously just want to be her. Kendall Jenner is literally perfect. Even though the Kardashian's can be a ridiculous family, Kendall Jenner seems to be the only sane one of that clan. Kendall Jenner is actually so perfect and I idolize her so much. 







Can I please just be her? She is perfect.

XOXO, Kate

Weekend Update + White on White

We're finally back in the swing of things at school because we had two days off last week due to a polar vortex here in Chicago. It was -40 degrees and in no way safe to be going to school. Sorry about no post yesterday I was supposed to schedule one ahead of time because I slept over at a hotel for my friends sweet 16, but I didn't have time to. I told you I'd give you a little recap on my weekend. Friday night I went over to a friends for a little get together and it was really fun! I was feeling a little awkward at first because it wasn't my usual friend group, but it turned out to be a great time. On Saturday night I went to my friend M's sweet 16 party and we stayed overnight at a hotel. Turns out there was a legit sweet 16 party there and we were sort of trying to crash it. We just would hang around the lobby where her guests were and dance. And we made friends with all of the workers  and we played hide and go seek all throughout the hotel. It was seriously a blast. And we found a totally open ballroom so I was practicing my aerials in there. Overall, it was a super fun weekend! But, needless to say I'm exhausted. Okay, so now after that quick update let's get onto this post!

With spring hopefully coming soon I've been scoping out the hot spring trends. One thing that I definitely want to try is white jeans. I think that they can looks so classy and amazing! I've also seen a lot of different white on white looks! It seems a little risky, but the look is so stunning! Especially for the spring/summer! And white on white, if Gossip Girl wore it (#WhiteParty) then I think we all should.





What are your thoughts of white on white?

PS I'm going to do another "Ask Kate" because it seemed like a lot of you liked reading that post! But this time, I'm going to try it in a video form! Comment down below any other questions for the next post in the "Ask Kate" series!

XOXO, Kate
