Hydro Flask The Chic Way to Quench Your Thirst

Hydro Flask

It’s no secret that I’m a huge water drinker… but as much as I love water, I’m not a fan of it warm or hot unless it’s in coffee or tea.

In fact, warm water gives me the gags, so I was always on the hunt for a good on-the-go water bottle to keep my agua fria.

At first I toted around the typical destructive single use plastic bottles of water but, the combination of wanting to be more sustainable and the fact that these plastic bottles usually contain some form of BPA, which is REALLY bad for you (especially if you leave them in the car where they heat up from the sun) I embarked on a quest for the perfect reusable water bottle.

After trying a gazillion different brands which ranged from tasting like metal to giving me horrible rashes around my mouth I finally found the QUEEN of all water bottles, the chic way to quench your thirst, Hydro Flask.

Hydro Flask uses the highest quality 18/8 stainless steel which ensures pure taste and no flavor transfer , is BPA and Phthalate free, recyclable and backed by a lifetime warranty.  The company believes strongly that great flasks and great causes go hand-in-hand.  Because of this, through its charitable arm 5% back, consumers can allocate a portion of the net profit of their purchase to a charity they choose.

I LOVE my Hydro Flask water bottle — it keeps my water cold for up to 24 hours, I mean so cold it could’ve come off of a glacier even hours after filling it up. It’s fun to drink out of (Sounds weird, but true) and it’s pretty much indestructible.

Plus, I’m no longer buying those pathetic disposable plastic water bottles and contributing to plastic waste.

I always like to be hands free- especially on set so when I discovered this gorgeous macramé Hydro Flask carrier I knew I needed it in my life. I’ll put a link for where to buy at the end of the post but if you are feeling crafty Llamas and Lufas has a great tutorial on how to make one.  Click Here.

Macrame All Day

Macrame Fashion trend

Macrame is hot.

Yeah I said it, macrame is hot and not in a ’70s owl plant hanger kind of way but in a fresh new modern way.

The ’70s-era knot-tying craft is back in full force manifesting itself in home decor, art installations, runways AND even as one of the biggest wedding trends this season.

With the resurgence of all things seventies and boho for Spring/Summer 2017, of course, this woven boho textile has securely fastened itself as the must-have of the season.

Designers from A to Z are getting knotty with soft, boho-inspired, tied-knot details in every permutation imaginable, from perfectly polished, cosmopolitan-looking dresses, to boho beach pullover’s and easy road-trip worthy separates.

If macrame bikinis or peek-a-boo dresses aren’t quite your style, ease into the trend with a fringey macrame clutch or try a pair of macrame embellished sandals or sneakers to add just the right touch of texture to any outfit.

The key to making this trend feel fresh and not costume-y is all about keeping the rest of the look modern. Skip the bell bottoms and flare jeans. Opt instead for sleek, minimalist sandals and a pair of classic jeans.  Look for pieces that have macrame details- like the Rachel Zoe blouse I’m wearing- rather than getting knotty from head to toe.
