Happy Sunday, and Happy Easter to all of you all who celebrate! We hope you all have a great day with your friends and family! We are getting ready to head out on several trips, so we wanted to share a roundups of some of the pieces we will be bringing with us on our upcoming trips to Austin and Mexico. PS- be on the lookout for some video hauls of what we ordered, too! We are excited to be trying to something new with y’all.
When we are traveling, or even when we are in Dallas, we like to stick to some basic, casual pieces during the day that are functional, but also look cute. We love a good pair of cutoff shorts (we have this dark wash pair that fits so well!) and a good pair of white jeans. You could wear the white jeans during the day, or at night, and they can be dressed up or down.
Happy Friday! We hope you all had a great week, and are ready for a fun weekend! We don’t have a ton of major plans, which is always nice, but I am sure we will find a way to get busy somehow, like always;) We can never just sit still. We are going to be out of town the next few weekends on different trips, so it will be nice to kind of get everything together and in order. We hope you all have a great Easter, to those of you all who celebrate! Speaking of Easter, don’t forget to check the bottom of this post for some great sales taking place! Not going to lie, were not really fans of the mule trend when it first started, but when we saw these embroidered mules, we HAD to have them, and were instantly in love. These are so fun, and we just ordered the studded ones, too. For those of you all who ask, we have had no issues ordering from Romwe. It does take a while to arrive since it comes from China, but they do have great stuff. It is like Forever21 quality, but it is all very affordable, which we love, especially for trendy pieces like these shoes. Some of their stuff is hit or miss, but we only share the stuff we like from them and Shein.

This white v-neck is a staple, and we wear it all of the time. We have it in grey and blue, too, and it is $24! These stretchy jeans are amazing and on SALE through tonight. They fit amazing, and we haven’t stopped wearing them. They are under $80, but 20% off right now on top of that! Also, be sure to check out some GREAT Easter sales taking place this weekend:
A couple of years ago, you would never find us working out, or really, doing anything outdoors. Since moving and living in Austin in Dallas, we have loved getting to go outdoors on a beautiful day. Going on a walk or *short* hike is one of our favorite things to do in the early evenings. These Outdoor Voices pieces are the perfect for heading out on a walk, or even for any workout. They are put-together, without having to spend hours trying to piece together an entire workout look. Admit it, you’ve totally been there! We know we have;) These tri-tone leggings have been on serious repeat since we got them. They are higher waisted and they are a great spring neutral. They have them in several other colors, and we totally will be buying another pair to run around in. We have been wearing these for workouts, to run errands, to go on walks, head to brunch, etc. Just throw on a cute tank, like this one, and some sneakers, and you’re good to go!
They also come in a 7/8 legging, which hits right at the ankle. We have that length in these leggings, which are also super cute to workout or run around in! If you’re short like we are, they will hit you right at your ankle, which we love because you don’t have to awkwardly bunch them up at the bottom #shortpeopleproblems.This bra is amazing for several reasons. First off, it has an adorable keyhole cutout. And, second, our favorite part, it has an anti-microbial band that keeps you feeling dry and not sweaty like you get with other sports bras around the band. You can also remove the cups inside. We are wearing the “dove” color, but it also comes in a bunch of other great neutrals. We are wearing an XS for reference. The leggings are also great for sweaty workouts because they have a great stretch to them, and they are sweat-wicking, which is very important when you’re trying to hide those sweat stains;) They also have a hidden pocket in the waist, which we love putting our keys in when we are heading out on a walk, so we don’t have to carry around a bunch of stuff in our hands. We are wearing an XS in the leggings, and they do have a tighter fit, for reference!The racerback tank is great for throwing on top of your bra after a workout, or if you’re heading out for errands and don’t want to run around in just a bra. We know most of y’all are like us, and don’t like to run around with your tummy showing. This tank is SO soft, but it is also great for sweaty activities like hot yoga, running, or working out in the gym. We have been long-time fans of Outdoor Voices because we love that their pieces are interchangeable with so many options to layer up for your day. They also do carry a men line, which has some great gift options for the guy in your life, just saying!;) { Steeplechase Bra in Dove c/o | Spring Legging c/o | Light Racerback Tank in Navy c/o | Grey Tennis Shoes | Nail Color | Lip Color ” Life of The Party”| Cartier Love Bracelet |Hamsa Necklace Similar Here and Name Necklace Here | WATCH: Michele Deco Watch }
And, now, for one of their classic bras. We are obsessed with their high-neck bras. They are super flattering and show of those hard-earned arms and shoulders. This one does not have cups inside of it, but it doesn’t mark at all, and we love this lilac color for spring. We are wearing an XS for reference, as it does run large.What is great about this bra is that it fits longer, so you could definitely run out post-workout in this cute strappy bra. They also have this bra that has a similar cut, and does come with the removable cups. We tried this one on and also loved it, but they were out of our size:(These charcoal leggings are higher-waisted, so they are perfectly paired with the longer bra. They are a darker color, and a heathered texture, so they’re great for sweatier workouts, as well as with some slip ons for running around town.Since we mentioned that we love getting outdoors and going on walks, we thought we would share our favorite spots to walk around:
One of our favorite retailers, Shopbop, is having a major sale now though Friday, 4/14. They are offering 25% off all orders over $500 + and 20% off all orders under $500 with EVENT17.
They have the cutest stuff for spring, so be sure to stock up on some good stuff before it sells out!
Happy Wednesday! Hope you all are having a great week. We just got back from El Paso to celebrate Passover with our family. We aren’t super religious or anything, but we always like to spend time with our family when it is a holiday. It looks like it is going to be a cloudy week in Dallas, so we are hoping that the forecast is wrong, and the sun decides to make an appearance!
This week, we are sharing an arm workout that just requires a set of dumbbells, so you could totally do this one at home!
In case you missed this fitness post from a couple of weeks ago, we shared what we ate each day, more or less. We decided to share it again, and to maybe continue to sharing it every couple of weeks, since you all seemed to like it!We also shared a downloadable version of all of our workouts from last week in this post that you can still download! We will try to do these at least once a month for y’all!
You can find the recipe for the gluten-free pancakes here, and our chocolate mug cake dessert recipe here.No workout is complete without some fun workout pieces! Here are some of the pieces we have been loving recently [scroll through and click each item to shop]!

Some of y’all had requested some of the recipes we had shared on our snapchats (@alexis.belbel and @sbelbel).
The first recipe is for a salad that we literally make ALL of the time. It is super easy to make, and we usually eat it with some grilled chicken or salmon.
Belbel Salad Serves 2-4
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 English cucumber
1/2 red onion
1 bell pepper (red, orange, or yellow)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
3-4 heads romaine lettuce OR 2-3 cups Spring Mix OR kale (greens of choice)
1/4 cup pepperoncini or jalapeños (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp fresh or dried mint
1/2 tsp fresh or dried basil
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic or red wine vinegar
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1/4 cup roasted almonds or cashews for crunch
INSTRUCTIONS:
Chop vegetables and toss with olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and seasonings.
The second recipe is for these macarons our mom made for Passover. They were delicious! Not low in sugar, but they were amazing!
Coconut Almond Macaroonsserves: 2 dozen
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup natural cane sugar
3 large egg whites
3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
3/4 cup slivered almonds
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp kosher salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Whisk together sugar and egg whites in a medium bowl.
Stir in coconut, almonds, vanilla, and salt.
Drop the coconut mixture by 2 tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart on to parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
With moistened hands, squeeze each mound tightly together to form a compact ball.
Using a spatula, flatten 1 side at a time from a pyramid shape.
Bake in oven until golden brown on edges, 15-18 minutes, switching baking sheets op rack to bottom rack halfway through.
Transfer sheets to wire racks, and cool 5 minutes. Transfer macaroons to racks, and cool completely, about 20 minutes.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

We hope it is officially warming up by you all! We have been experiencing 80’s and 90’s here, so we can’t complain. We are definitely warm weather-type-of-girls. This swing dress is just $45 and comes in several colors, and will be coming with us on our upcoming trips at the end of this month. We are so excited to be heading to Austin and Cabo in just a couple of weeks, and will definitely be sure to keep you all posted on what we are packing with us. It will most likely be including some of the pieces we featured in this post! This dress is super comfy (almost like a nightgown feeling), but way more presentable looking, haha. It would make a great dress to travel in, and you could throw on a denim jacket if it gets chillier. We love that this dress has a type of cold shoulder cutout, without being too trendy, if that makes sense?These perforated booties are SO comfy and they have the perfect cutouts on the side. They are super flattering and go with EVERYTHING!We love shopping for spring shoes at Nordstrom. They have the cutest shoes to pick from cute wedges like these to fun flats like these. They usually restock their shoes really quickly and they always offer free shipping and returns, which is basically the only way we online shop;) Shop more spring shoes here!
