Happiness

Gold dot tee with pink skirtLife lately has been hectic. Work has been busy, my shop has been busy, Wes and I have both been a little sick….and guess what gets put on the back burner? That’s right, the good old blog. I’m okay with it though. I’ve been posting 5 days a week for the last 2 years and I guess it’s just time to cool off a little. Step back and see where I want to take it all. If you haven’t noticed, I have been posting a lot more about food and health over the last few months a long with my outfit posts. I think that’s where All That Glitters is headed. What started as purely just style blogging, has taken a turn to lifestyle. I love to post all of my outfits and will continue to do so, but I want to talk about more than just style. Healthy eating and living is one of the biggest things in my life right now, so it just seems right to talk about it more and more here on the blog:)

Once we get to a point in our lives where kids are on the horizon, I’m sure you’ll see a little swing over into plenty of baby posts…but for now food, health, style, and my life in general is where its at! I hope you all stick around with me through this busy time in my life just as you always have in the past! I wouldn’t be here without you! :)

Of course I didn’t notice my belt being all wonky until I was done with photos…dammit! lol! But, anyways, this outfit just screams happiness to me. The colors are bright, there are gold polka dots involved…and the necklace is just that, pure happiness. No wonder the boutique it is from is called the Happiness Boutique! If my accessories all came from there I would be happy all the time:) Haha! This one has really caught my eye and I might be needing it before we make our trip to London this fall…

You see how I did that? Slipped in a trip to London without having ever mentioned it before? Haha! Well, we’re doing it! We’re making a trip to London and Paris later on this fall and I am BEYOND ecstatic! If you guys have any must dos (especially in Paris) let me know in the comments below!

Tropical Love

Tropical summer outfit

Oh my goodness am I tired! Traveling sure does take a lot out of you. We were at a wedding in Chicago this past weekend, and our flight was delayed on the way back. We didn’t get home until really late on Sunday night. Needless to say, waking up on Monday morning was rough. The weekend was an absolute blast though! The wedding was beautiful and we got to see all of our friends from college. I love Austin, and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else, but I do wish all of our friends were closer together. Those guys are like my brothers, and we have way too much fun together:)

I wore this outfit the week before Chicago, but I also wore it on the plane and for our first day there. I  initially tried this one on in pink and white stripes, but when I went back to look at the price I saw the tropical version and fell in love.I knew I needed this one instead! This shirt is so comfortable and it just makes me want to go to the beach:)

Have a great Tuesday, we’re almost to hump day!

Coral & Navy

Navy and Coral- Color Crush

Hi Lovelies!

I think I am pretty much in post-vacation depression. Lol. I guess that’s what happens when you spend 12 days being on lakes and visiting with family and friends then get thrown back in to work. Either that, or it’s because I miss my puppy like CRAZY! She is with her grandparents until Saturday because they drove her up to Michigan last week. I don’t know how people live without dogs in their lives…I am just about to go nuts! I need my Sophie cuddles! Regardless of the reason, I just want to go lay in the sun, read, and maybe take a boat ride. Stupid grown up life that requires making money! Oh well, I am pretty much back into the swing of things at work, and I really do like my job so I guess I am lucky there:) I am already planning my next vacation though…I’m thinking London and France next summer? Sounds great to me!

Our visit to Michigan really was a blast. The first day we went to lunch in our old stomping ground with Wes’ mother and stepdad. Day two was spent at my sister’s new place, at the pool, and then shopping. The next couple of days were spent with friends in Detroit and Port Huron. I got to meet one of my best friends little babies and he is just the sweetest little thing you ever did see. Wednesday night we met some friends for dinner in East Lansing on the way up north, and then Thursday through Monday morning were spent at my grandparents cottage up north. I absolutely love it up there and it is such a blast to hang out on the boat and the beach with my entire family. I wish I could just pick up that tiny little town and move it down here to Texas where it doesn’t get so darn cold! Overall, it was a great time and I am sad that it’s over, but I am SO glad to be home in my pretty house with my comfy bed. All I need is to get my puppy back and everything will be perfect.

Today’s outfit was something I wore for work the week before I left. I bought this top with my $10 birthday coupon at Charming Charlie, so it ended up being $5. (Score for me!) I tried it on with about a million things before I decided on the coral skirt, and I really liked the way it turned out. The bow handbag was bought the same day as the shirt at Payless, and I am loving stripes with floral right now, so it was an obvious match:)

What’s your favorite pattern mix?

Someone Take Me To The Beach

Turquoise romper with cognac clutch

Hi Lovelies!

Oh my goodness was this weekend a beautiful one! Wes and I spent some much needed time relaxing in our new backyard. We laid in the sun, weeded, and had every single meal at our patio table. It was glorious! The rest of the time was spent going through boxes and working on little projects around the house. We are LOVING the new house! Every day I fall in love with it more and more, what a good sign:) I am so excited that we can do anything and everything we want to do and that we will never have to move if we don’t want to! This will be our little home to start a family in some day (not too soon though, lol).

Shop Rompers:

This outfit makes me want to go to the beach, or the pool….really I would take any body of water! I will for sure be taking this one up to the lake this summer, and probably to Nicolle’s pool while she lives down here! I bought this romper at the same time as this ruffle top and this cobalt dress I showed you a week or so back and it is so comfortable! I love that it’s stretchy and loose, but it has enough shape that it doesn’t make me look too frumpy. Rompers are slowly but surely becoming one of my favorite clothing items to buy! Right there behind the good old sundress!

What’s your favorite summer piece to wear to the beach/pool?
