Hey Jealousy

Hi Lovelies!

Okay, okay…you caught me! As much as I am super glad I don’t live in the north, and as much as I don’t miss snow…I am a little tiny bit jealous that no one has to work today. Although, I’m sure if I had to take the Sophers for a walk in -12 temps I would be singing a WHOLE different tune. The grass is always greener….

Speaking of jealousy….this is the part where you get to be extremely jealous that I own the most adorable coat ever! I got it last winter at Target and it is my all time favorite. It’s frilly, it’s girlie, it’s warm, and it’s black! <swoon> All of my favorite features of winter fashion. To be honest, it was far too cold outside to take it off, so you don’t even get to see what’s underneath lol. We will leave that outfit for another day:)

(I would link to something similar to this jacket, except let’s be honest…there isn’t anything else like this jacket. It’s just too magnificent to be matched.)

Sophie is just the best accessory/prop ever. She sits well, she wants to be held, and she gives spontaneous kisses. What more could I ask for? (PS: If you’re new here and want more on Sophie click here, here, here, and here) Well, I think that’s all I have for today….after all, some of us have to work!

Until tomorrow…

New Year’s Eve Sparkle

Hi Lovelies!

I have been such a busy little blogger lately! Taking outfit posts left and right, getting caught up on some great projects I’m working on….living the good life with my half days at work…:) <Sigh> This.is.the.life. With the end of the year coming I have really been thinking back on the awesome things I have done this year, and I have realized that I am SO lucky. Lucky to have the greatest family, husband, puppy, and job that a girl could ever ask for. Lucky to have the best readers and blog friends ever. I love this little blog so much. I have put my all in to it, and every single one of you guys out there that read and comment and show up each and every day just make me so happy:) You are all absolutely amazing and if it weren’t for you I probably wouldn’t have the motivation to show up here each day and do my fashion bloggy thang. So, this post is a thank you to all of you out there, whether I know you or not, just know that every little comment I get from you all just makes my entire day and I love you for it!

Skirt: American Eagle, Top: Target, Heels: Lulus.com, Clutch, Necklace, & Bracelets: Charming Charlie, Sunglasses: Aldo

Now, on to the outfit for today! New Year’s Eve is tomorrow! It’s so crazy how fast this entire year went by. Well, if you managed to find your way here from the Texas Women Bloggers site, you will already know from my post there that I love, love, LOVE to dress up for New Year’s Eve. No outfit planning makes me happier than NYE outfit planning. Glitter, glitter, and more glitter is always appropriate on NYE. So, I found this glittery little number online at American Eagle…on sale for $20 I might add…and I knew it was perfect for the occasion. I ordered it, along with what turned out to be a hideous fur vest, and fell in love the moment I put it on. The vest on the other hand, I will be returning. I am still debating whether or not I want to go with the black top or a white chiffon one I have…guess it will depend on my mood:)

What are you wearing for NYE? Share your link in the comments!

Until next time…

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…

Get The Look:
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

Shop Other Bow Tops:

I pretty much love everything about this outfit. Bows and statement necklaces are my favorites…and you can’t go wrong with black and white:) Well, that’s all for today….did you link up with Hayley and Lauren? Share your link in the comments below if you did!

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…
