My Outfit ~ How to Wear Sheer Tights

Hi lovelies, and Happy Friday!  This week (and spring thus far) has been crazy; 70 degrees one day, a foot of snow the next.  It's hard to think spring when getting dressed, while I'm still wearing layers and snow boots.  So when Hanes sent me some of their legwear to style, I figured that it was just what I needed!  {Click to keep reading!}

My Outfit ~ Cat Eyed

Hi lovelies!  Do you find yourself gravitating toward certain sunglasses shapes?  I love some form or another of a cat eye, I think the style suits my long / oval shaped face well.  When Sunglasses Shop reached out and offered me a pair from the SXUC collection they carry, I was instantly drawn to this pretty rhinestone accented tortoise cat-eye, aren't they perfect?  {More after the jump}

My Outfit ~ Mint, Gold, & Cream

Hi lovelies!  With the beautiful warm-ish weather we've been having I wanted to channel Spring in one of my favorite color combos: mint, gold, and cream.  It's a combo I wore throughout the summer, and found I can easily rock it in the winter now, too!  {More, after the jump}

My Favorite Things (& Most Recent Purchases!)

Hey lovelies!  While I was on a DIY kick last week, this week I'd like to switch things up and share some of my recent purchases / favorite things with you all. I've been trying to curb spending lately, so I'm only buying things that I truly love and know I will use, all the while not buying expensive (ie, out of my budget) items.  {More after the jump}

My Favorite Things ~ Beauty & Neon

Hi lovelies! It's been awhile, and I've been super stressed, so I thought I'd share a few of my fave things as of recently!

This is the Zoya Nailpolish Pinterest Trio, it consists of the top three pinned colors from their summer collection!  L-R: Myrta, Zuza, and Kimber.  I have Kimber on my toes and LOVE it!  This was free during a promotion, just had to pay shipping! {More after the break}

My Favorite Things

Hi lovelies!  I thought I'd share some of my current favorite things I've picked up lately.  The best part is that each thing is under $50! {More after the jump}

Blues ~ Outfit Challenge Post

Hello my lovelies!  Today I am wearing TWO of the items I challenged myself to wear this week, the blue men's shirt, and the cobalt Sole Society pumps.  I love this look.  I bought the shirt on a clearance rack at Walmart in the men's department. 

I belted the shirt, cuffed the sleeves and left the top buttons undone as well.  I paired it with my gray skinnies from NY and Company, and of course, what shoes would look best with this besides the cobalt Virginia's from Sole Society.  Now who would I be without my accessories??  Of course I'm rocking Jewelmint and BaubleBar!

Shirt: George, Walmart Men's Section

Jeggings: NY and Company

Belt: Forever 21

Shoes: Sole Society

Necklace: Jewelmint Bullet Necklace

Earrings: Jewelmint Rio Bravo Earrings

Bracelet: BaubleBar Starfish Cuff, seen here

Do you like how I styled the shirt and the shoes?  Would you have styled them differently?

Obsessed ~ BaubleBar Starfish Cuff

When Grace, from Stripes and Sequins fame, tweeted a pic of herself wearing this bracelet, I died.  I'm in love with insanely unique pieces, and I'm in love with anything beachy so this was a no brainer.  It also reminded me of this Anthropologie starfish cuff I'd been coveting for some time, but was not about to drop $198 on.  So a few weeks later, Grace tweeted me and said that the cuff was now available for purchase at BaubleBar, and it was only $34, I think it was only a matter of seconds until it was purchased.  I love especially how its arms wrap around and you can adjust the cuff to better fit your wrist by lightly bending them.  It's such a statement piece, I get so many compliments on it from strangers!

Here's a pic of it with no flash on.  You can really see the detail and texture of this amazing piece.  I'd recommend getting it asap!  The price is perfect for such a quality statement piece.  Plus, if you've never ordered from BaubleBar before, you get a $10 credit on your first purchase!
I hope you love this bracelet as much as I do!

I heart BaubleBar & Their Vault!!

Hello lovelies!!  In case you are not familiar with BaubleBar (high quality jewelry, affordable prices), they just unveiled a new customer loyalty program.  Create an account with them, and you will a FREE piece of jewelry (while supplies last!).  I got this white enamel bracelet - FREE!!  It's hinged on the side, and I love how it fits.  Most bangles are ridiculously huge on my wrist, and this is actually more fitted, not tight, but fitted. 

I've bought from BaubleBar in the past, and am very impressed with the quality of their pieces.  Plus, their customer service is amazing.  Every purchase includes a hand-written thank you note from the founders.  How chic and sweet!

If you haven't signed up yet, click here.  I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

Outfit Monday - Boho Punchy + Mesa Mountain Hike

Hello my lovelies!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  I tell you, I am so out of shape, but I feel great!  I went for a 3 mile walk/run with the hubs (yes, we are reconciling sloooowwwwllllyyyyy!) on Saturday and then Sunday we took the kids on a 3.5 mile hike up Mesa Mountain (it's a hill, don't let the name fool ya!)  Here's a few pics....

Don't let this pic fool you, it was seriously like a 30 degree incline.  I thought I was going to DIE.  It was almost a mile of that.  But, the kids were doing it without complaining so I sucked it up...

Amazing views.  The snow line was at about 7000 feet, I think this "mountain" peaked at 6200 or so, it was pretty cool looking out at the snow line... 

The craziest thing was the terrain up there at the top.  It was a prairie!!  This is grass.  So cool right??

 

I love the colors of this moss. 

There were so many succulents growing.  I liked this guy.

About halfway across the top and the whole descent it was mud.  My boots each weighed like 10 pounds I swear.

The gentle descent :)

I love science.  So much.  I majored in Physics/Astrophysics/Math in college up through my junior year, and dropped the first two and wrapped up my last year with just Math.  Anyhow, I'm in awe of Geology and really want to learn more.  So when I saw this lava rock, I just stood and stared at it for a while, thinking about how areas and things are formed...how these mountains formed.  It's amazing sometimes.  Remember: admire nature, but leave it as you found it.  And never remove anything from its habitat!  Leave it there for everyone else to enjoy.  I love this rock.

And here's what I wore today :)

Slouchy thin pink tee - Old Navy (used my 50% off coupon Friday and got this for $8!!)

Bell bottom jeans - thrifted, mens Navy uniform dungarees!  (love these)

White purse - Target, years ago

Scarf - vintage, belonged to my mom

Espadrille wedges - Forever 21

White bracelet - BaubleBar, FREE!!!

Watch, Nixon, 8th anniversary gift :)

I have no makeup on, hence why my face seems to be dodging the camera :)

Happy Monday lovelies!

Keepin it Classy... My First Outfit Post! YAY!

I love this blouse so much, I found it at a thrift shop (brand new!) for $10.  It's so loud, it screams my name!  Neon green and bamboo print?  Yes please!

The spike fringe necklace, earrings (and bracelet) I actually got at Walmart all for less than $20.  I nearly flipped!

The amazing Handcuff Bracelet I got from BaubleBar.  You should check them out, AMAZING!

Yeah, I'm displaying my jewelry around a can of PBR.  Yahhh that's how I roll.  Always keepin it classy!

Love this jewelry soooo much!  Hope you love my outfit!  I really look forward to doing more outfit posts and would *love* some feedback!!

I heart BaubleBar!

The ever amazing Grace from Stripes and Sequins has been raving about BaubleBar recently, so I had to check it out.  I'm now SUCH a convert! I ordered some bracelets today.

I'm madly in love with the handcuff bracelet, which would look great with my Kilt Pin Charm Necklace I made, here, with the adorable handcuff charms on it :)

I also ordered the Square Bangle Set, because three of the bangles remind me of rose gold, and the hematite bangle thrown in just completes the look I think!

I can't wait to get these in, they shipped IMMEDIATELY after I ordered, and since this was my first order, shipping was FREE!  I am soooo hooked!  Can't wait to wear these, and I will post pics!

xxooxoxo
