Black & White Bows

Hi Lovelies!

I don’t know if you have all met Hayley from A Beautiful Exchange or Lauren from The Albrecht’s Blog, but they are starting an awesome new link up in order to get to know other bloggers! I am so excited that this is the first week! Today’s prompt for the link up is to share a photo of yourself and list 3 things that you love about yourself! Click here to see the link up and enjoy! The outfit pictures below will have to suffice for the photo of me:) Anyways, here goes nothing…3 things that I love about myself:

1. For lack of a better word, my guts– I have decided to do this crazy thing called blogging. I think that takes some major guts. I am putting myself out there for the entire world to see and judge and I’m okay with that. At the beginning I was really self-conscious and didn’t want people that I know to see my blog….then finally I just embraced it and let go of all those negative feelings. If people are going to judge me negatively for my blog then I don’t need them anyways:) And 90% of the people who see it don’t know me in real life anyways, so who cares if they judge.

2. My ability to love– I’ve got a whole lot of love to give. If you are special to me, you can guarantee that I will love you with everything I have. A lot of people don’t really even have the ability to love, at least not as strongly as others. Sometimes this trait ends up hurting me, but in the end getting love from people in return is worth the pain others give.

3. This one is going to be the superficial one…lol…my hair– I’m pretty sure I am the only woman on the planet who doesn’t hate her hair. I like the color, the texture, that it will pretty much do anything I want…and I love that it grows like a weed:)

Well, that’s all folks…3 things I love about myself! Now, on to the outfit of the day…

Top: Charming Charlie, Leggings: Target, Bubble necklace: Charming Charlie, Bow earrings: Charming Charlie, Ring, Watch, & Bracelet: Charming Charlie, Flats: Payless, Sunglasses: Aldo, Handbag: Lulu Guiness for JCPenney

Until tomorrow…

A Little Bit Of Fringe

Hi Lovelies!

As I’m sure you are aware (because the Texas bloggers/people in general cannot stop talking about it), it is COLD here. All I have to say is mad props go to those fashion bloggers up in the north. I do not know how they do it. What I do know is that If I have to take pictures in the cold again I might just cry. I hate to say it, but being cold doesn’t make me a very good photographer. Not only was it cold and uncomfortable, but I was attempting to keep the camera from being blown over by the wind. So…..I’m sorry for the somewhat blurry pictures:-\

Get The Look:
Top: Charming Charlie, Cardigan: Target, Tank top: Forever 21, Denim: H&M, Boot socks: Nordstrom Rack, Boots: Charming Charlie, Handbag: Francesca’s Collections, Belt: Delia’s, Infinity necklace: Charming Charlie, Sunglasses/Bracelet/Headband: Charming Charlie

I was a little bit bummed when I saw that these pictures were blurry, because this top is one of my favorites and I really wanted it to look great. <sigh> I had far too little time to go back and take more…sooooo boo:( Anyways, I used to wear this top all the time when I worked at Charming Charlie because it fit in with the black and white dress code, but I haven’t worn it much since. I just found it in the back of my closet and got so excited because I had forgotten about it!:)

Do you ever find something you forgot you had? Feels like Christmas doesn’t it?:)

Until tomorrow…

A Braided Bun For A Lazy Fashion Blogger

Hi Lovelies!

Have you ever had those ~~days~~ weeks where you just didn’t feel like doing your hair? Yeah, last week was one of those weeks. If you didn’t notice, I wore a bun every single day, in every post. Ha! Well, I tried really hard at the beginning of the week and had my hair straight and down, but….I have gotten lazy again. Lol. The bun is just SO easy and I think it looks classy:) Today, I went a little out of my bun box and added in a little braid…..

Get The Look:
Sweater: Target, Pants: Target, Shoes: Payless, Handbag: Charming Charlie, Necklace & Earrings: Lulus, Sunglasses: Aldo

I go through this all the time. I really want to do my hair nicely every morning before work. And then 7:00 rolls around and I am rushing to get Sophie walked, my clothes on, and my make up done in 30 minutes. Sometimes pretty hair just isn’t in the cards for me…guess that’s what I get for having ridiculously LONG hair. Some days I just want to cut it all off…it would be SO much easier.

What’s your go to lazy day hair style?

Until tomorrow…

Fall Colors And A Fitness Issue

Hi Lovelies!

The colors are here. Well, sort of…they are starting to show at least! There is a red tree down the street from me and lots of yellow ones popping up all over! Eek! Who doesn’t love a little bit of fall color?

Get The Look:

Sweater: Charming Charlie, Tank top: Forever 21, Pants: New York and Company, Clutch: Charming Charlie, Scarf: Charming Charlie, Shoes: Payless Shoes

I really do love fall, especially here in Texas where you can have 65 degree days AND 85 degree days:) But, is anyone else having issues trying to work out with this whole time change thing? For some reason it has been SO much harder for me to get the motivation to work out when it’s dark outside so early. I ran 2.5 miles around my neighborhood last night, but I literally had to FORCE myself to do it. Argh! I’ve been doing so well and I cannot let it all go because darkness makes me unmotivated…lol! I’m also thinking about running a half marathon. My best friend and I have been talking about it for a month or so now, and I think it’s about time to take the plunge and just sign up for it. If I sign up for it I can’t back out, right? Right! Now, it’s time for that motivation to come back…..

How do you keep motivated to work out?

Until tomorrow…

This Is What I Like About Texas

Hi Lovelies!

When Wes and I picked up and moved to Texas two years ago we had a lot of people ask, “Why Texas?”. Well, besides the fact that I lived in Texas during middle and high school and LOVED it. And, besides the fact that Texans have the most pride for their state than anywhere else I have ever been, which is amazing. THIS is ‘why Texas’. Sunday, November 17….85 degrees and sunny. I just don’t understand how you could NOT love that. It was chilly all last week and the leaves are starting to change, it’s beginning to feel like fall…and then it’s 85 degrees. You would NEVER get an 85 degree day in Michigan in November. Ever. This entire weekend was beautiful as a matter of fact. I have to tell you…Michigan has beautiful lakes, but I wouldn’t want to live anywhere but Austin:)

Get The Look:

Top: Charming Charlie, Tank top: Aerie, Denim: H&M, Flats: Payless, Purse: Charming Charlie, Bangles &Watch: Charming Charlie, Necklace: Charming Charlie, Bow earrings: Forever 21, Sunglasses: Aldo

Alright, enough bragging about the good Texas weather. How was everyone else’s weekend?

Until tomorrow…
