My Outfit ~ Red, White and Denim

Hey lovelies!  It's been a while since I've done an outfit post, and although it's friggen hot as hell out, I managed to snap a few quick pics on my patio!  {More after the break}

This or All That ~ Neon Satchel Edition

Ahhh the nefarious neon Cambridge Satchel.  How badly we all want one!  But, it's $155 price tag is quite a deterrent, especially for such a trendy piece.  With Old Navy's online sale - last day is today, so order now! - use code NEWYOU at checkout, and receive all the pieces below for only $75 (!), and STILL have  enough leftover to get 15 grande lattes from Starbucks!  Think outside the box sometimes, and save some money!  I don't know about you, but I'd rather have the whole outfit - AND the coffees :)

Neon Cambridge Satchel $155
Old Navy crochet sweater  $30
Old Navy Chiffon Maxi Skirt  $34
Old Navy Ballet Shoes  $23
Old Navy Messenger Bag, $20

PS ~ I ordered the bag and shoes already!

My Shoes Are So Loud I Can't Hear You

Hiya lovelies!  Who says you can't still wear neons?  I say I don't care, I'll wear them whenever I want!  It's been in the 80s here in Denver, so it's hard to think fall, even with the gorgeous aspen trees' leaves turning gold.  Speaking of aspens, there is this bakery or something, and the back of their trucks say: "How's Your Aspen?"  LMAO I laugh so hard I cry whenever I see it.  

 My neon Manolos. My fave shoes I own.  They are electric, neon yellow, they almost glow in the dark.

Neon Pink Cardigan: Forever 21
Black tank: Norma Kamali
Capris: Old Navy 
Shoes: Manolo Blahnik Lucy
Necklace: Walmart
Earrings: Jewelmint
Sunnies: Moschino

Little man kept trying to hijack his way in the pics, so I eventually obliged.

Bella was my photographer for the evening, she did a fabulous job!

PS ~ Have you entered my giveaway yet??

Pink n Coral...One Last Summer Hurrah

Hello my lovelies!  We had some rockin weather here in Denver today!  It was 86* which is so rad!!  I'm trying to enjoy it while we still have it, because we've been known to get snow in early October.  I know.  Blechhhh.  So I spied out of the corner of my eye my coral pumps I got this spring from Kohls.  I figured this may be my last chance to wear them before next spring, so I threw together an outfit around them.  Now this isn't the first time I've worn this top with these shoes, seen here.  I just styled it a little differently :)

Top: Old Navy
Jeans: NY & Company
Shoes: Elle via Kohls
Scarf: NY & Company
Bracelet: DIY
Watch: Nixon
Earrings: Jewelmint

So there ya have it!  Hopefully this isn't summer's last hurrah, but in case it is, I dressed the part.

Now if you don't already, you should follow me on GFC.  Tomorrow morning I'm announcing Smart n Snazzy's FIRST giveaway!!!  Here's a sneak peek.... what do you think it could be?!

Coral Shoes...Friday's Outfit

Hi my lovelies!  How much do you love this outfit?  I love it tons, mostly because of the shoes!  The Budget Babe featured them in a post a few months ago (they are from Kohls and were only $45!!) and I went right out and bought them.  They are hiiiiigh, but I love my heels.  Besides, there's like a 1.5" platform anyways so the heel height isn't that bad. 

Shoes: Kohls, Jeans: Seven 7 via TJMaxx, Top: Old Navy, Necklace and Earrings: Walmart, Watch: Nixon, Bracelet: DIY. 

I didn't have my little photographers last night, so these are all timer'd shots...apologies for the lame background :)
So I have a question for you all.  I wore this to work yesterday, and felt like I was rockin it!  I was walking to the cafeteria with a male coworker, when he pointed out all the women looking me up and down giving me dirty looks.  Ladies, why do we do that?!  I had never noticed it before.  Is it because they/we are insecure and jealous?  I have no idea, but I was super pissed.   I later had an older coworker tell me that I must have a Napoleon complex because I have to wear heels all the time.   I had to literally bite my tongue until it started bleeding and count to 100 to not rip the b$tches face off.  Ughhhhh anyways....

Cheers to the weekend.  Stay thirsty my friends :)

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!
