V-Day at 8 Years

February 17, 2015

DSC_0024 DSC_0039 DSC_0102 DSC_0142Sweater: J.Crew (old) | Blouse: J.Crew (identical) | Jeans: AG (similar) | Boots: Dankso (similar) | Bracelet: Loft (old) | Necklace: J.Crew (similar) |Earrings: Nordstrom Rack (similar) | Purse: Foley + Corina (similar) | Rings: Gorjana (old) | Lipstick: Bobbi Brown (Warm Beige) | Lip Gloss: Smashbox Limitless Long Wear (Endless)

These photos were taken on Valentine’s Day. It was pretty chilly out, so I decided to wear my favorite dog sweater layered over a gingham shirt. I wasn’t sure about the colors in the necklace, but I ended up liking how it brought out the details in the sweater.

Last year for Valentine’s Day, my husband and I ate at our favorite local burger joint, Burgermaster. It’s super causal and the location we dine at has a drive-in. The plan for this year was to cook at home, but that quickly changed when we found ourselves running errands near Burgermaster. We happily munched on burgers and fries while splitting a chocolate shake. It was heavenly.

The rest of the weekend was spent getting things done around the house, running errands, and walking at Richmond Beach and Discovery Park.  I love long weekends!

Girl’s Best Friend

DSC_0014 DSC_0049 DSC_0084 DSC_0100Sweater: Brooks Brothers (sold out) | Shirt: J.Crew | Jeans: Zara (old) | Necklace: J.Crew (old)| Bracelets: J.Crew  (old)| Ring: Oscar de la Renta (old) | Watch: Marc by Marc (similar) | Shoes: Ecco (old) | Lip Gloss: Smashbox Limitless Long Wear (Endless)| Lipliner: NARS color Rosebud

You may have already guessed it but I love a cutesy sweater. When I spotted this one I nearly died. I also love dogs!

I  styled this look with a statement ring, a sparkly necklace, and two bracelets. I would normally keep other accessories minimal but today I decided to go all out.

It can be fun to take a fashion risk. Nothing crazy, just something that is outside of your comfort zone. It doesn’t matter if it’s the norm for everyone else (bright lipstick, statement necklace, or sky high heels). If it’s something you’ve wanted to try and haven’t, give it a go. You’d be surprised by how empowered you may feel or what other things you may try after starting off with something small.

Happy New Year

Sweater: J.Crew (old) | Blouse: Equipment (old) | Jeans: Loft (similar) | Bracelet: (vintage)| Ring: (thrifted)| Shoes: Jambu: (similar) | Bag: Foley + Corinna (similar) | Lipstick: Bobbi Brown (Warm Beige) | Lip Gloss: Smashbox Limitless Long Wear (Endless)

I can hardly believe it’s 2015, it feels like any other day. I am on vacation in eastern Washington visiting my in-laws. I go back to work on Monday. I’ve enjoyed spending time with friends and family while overindulging in lots of home made meals. I have ate more food then I care to admit and I’m looking forward to getting back on track.

These photos were taken last weekend on a very cold and windy day, so excuse the wild hair. I’m wearing one of my favorite sweaters with an adorable cat critter. This is one of many J.Crew novelty sweaters in my closet. I styled this sweater with a bow blouse.

The bag is by Foley + Corinna and can be worn two ways. I was excited about this purse when I purchased it on sale last summer, but this is the first time I’ve used it. I am terrible about rotating my bags – something I need to get better about.

Have a good weekend and see ya Monday! 😀

My Fall Uniform

November 19, 2014

DSC_0012DSC_0009DSC_0029Sweater: J.Crew | Shirt: J.Crew (similar) | Jeans: Old Navy | Boots : Corso Como (similar) | Purse: Michael Kors (similar)| Necklace: Michael Kors | Bracelet : J.Crew | Lip gloss: Giorgio Armani color 519| Lipliner: NARS color Rosebud

My fall uniform is a novelty sweater, button down shirt, skinny jeans and riding boots. I love this sweater. I purchased it from J.Crew a few years ago. It’s not a giant furry monster! This image is a Parisian woman donning a fur coat, hat and gloves. Isn’t she fabulous! The pants are the Rockstar fit from Old Navy and are super comfy.

What’s your go to look for fall?
