Winter on Instagram has been filled with the holidays, fitting in workouts, and trying to keep warm! If you already follow me on Instagram, you may have already seen these photos, if not, I wanted to give you a little peek into what I have been doing this winter season. If you are on Instagram, please feel free to join me. My handle is @BayAreaFashionista please send me an email or DM, or comment on this post for a follow back. Thank you for your support!

Weekend warrior! Since I am so busy with the kids during the week, it is difficult for me to get my workouts in! Every Saturday morning I wake up early and head to the gym. I start my day with a BodyPump class at 8am, and then I stick around for the Advanced Step class at 9am. Both classes are incredible and allow me to burn over 900 calories! If you have never tried BodyPump before, this is the time to check it out! Start off with light weights, and talk to the instructor about form. The class on its’ own burns over 300 calories, and it strengthens the entire body. I highly recommend fitting it in one day per week. Pictured: handbag / shoes

Pantone’s color of 2016, Rose Quartz and Serenity, have inspired me this season! Blue is one of my favorite colors, so knowing there are several shades of blue in the top ten colors for spring 2016, and it is one of the colors of 2016, makes me feel like 2016 is my fashion year! My wallet may get a workout! Yikes!

I also happen to love shades of pink; I just don’t wear them nearly as much as blue. So, this photo captures a few pieces I have purchased lately which were inspired by the color palette of 2016. You can see my review of the handbag here, and the Lilac nail polish review here.

The furry backdrop is actually a fabulous jacket I picked up on sale. I plan to wear it next month during New York Fashion Week. It is faux furry fab! I can’t wait to share it with you! Pictured: handbag / nail polish / jacket

This photo was taken before Christmas after finishing a little bit of Christmas shopping. My nine-year-old daughter took this picture with my iPhone. She is such a great little photographer!

I have been wearing this faux fur jacket all the time this winter! It is really soft and cozy. I feel like I am wrapped in luxury when I wear it. If you are looking for the perfect faux fur jacket this season, I highly recommend this one. It also comes in Ivory too; tempting!

One of my favorite places to warm up is Snake & Butterfly in Campbell. They make their own chocolate! I love their hot chocolate with whipped cream on top, and pairing it with gelato is delicious! It is a fun indulgence 🙂 Pictured: handbag / book

On Instagram, it is always fun to share your #ootd. I love seeing what people are wearing on a day to day basis. These unstaged photos are a great peek into someone’s personal style. I try to post at least one a week! I wore this outfit to go to the DMV to renew my driver’s license. Pictured: booties (color sold out, also love this pair) / jeans / poncho / handbag / necklace

This is a small snapshot into what I have been posting on Instagram. I post a mixture of #ootd shots, peeks into blog posts, delicious food, inspiration, and more! You can find me at @BayAreaFashionsta

I hope to see you on Instagram!
