My Outfit ~ Sole Society Alayna

Hi lovelies!  I recently received these amazingly gorgeous shoes from Sole Society and couldn't wait to share them with you!  These are the Alayna T-Strap Pump and are so comfortable and versatile I swear you'll never want to take them off!  Wanna see how I wore them?  {Click to keep reading!}

My Outfit ~ Boho Natural + The BEST Strapless Bra, EVER!

Hi lovelies!  Can you believe it?  Gasp!  An outfit post!  It's been quite a while now, and to be quite honest with you, I don't feel that my outfits as of late are anything worth taking pics of, never mind posting on the interwebz.  You see, I've been unemployed for a few months now and my days consist of hanging with the kiddos, trying to find a job, and feeling sad for myself.  I digress.  I bought this gorgeous maxi last year at Target (dude it was on clearance for $10!  It is an XL, so it's rather big on me, but I keep telling myself I'll alter it, in the meantime I just keep pulling it up!) and find myself wearing it rather often, with flip flops, sandals, pretty much whatever I feel like putting on!  {Click to keep reading!}

My Outfit ~ Neutral n Easy

Hey lovelies!  As promised in yesterday's post, here's how I wore these incredible LeeMo Designs earrings!  Today was my baby girl's 6th grade continuation ceremony (seriously, I cannot believe I'm the mother of a 7th grader now!), and I wanted to wear something simple yet classy without being too dressy.  This Stylemint dress fit the bill!  Paired with some patent nude pumps from Target (which just disappear on!), it was the perfect neutral canvas to feature these statement earrings.  {Click to keep reading!}

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!}

DIY ~ Splatter Print Jeans

Hi lovelies!  I started these jeans a few weeks ago, but hadn't posted them yet.  They hadn't quite turned out as originally expected; however, I love them even more than what I was initially going for!  {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 Outfit ~ The 'Carrie' Dress

Good morning lovelies!  I recently got this tulle skirted dress (the top is a cami style) that I've dubbed the Carrie dress, because it so reminds me of her infamous tulle skirt and tank top look.  I wanted to wear it to work, but not take away from it's over the top-ness, so I paired it with mirrored silver pumps, and a metallic purple sweater.  {More after the jump}

My Outfit ~ Rose, Black, & Gray

Hi lovelies and happy Friday!  Today's look is a bit conservative but major fun.  I wanted to wear this rose hued pleated skirt from Target that I bought months ago but hadn't worn yet.  So I challenged myself to throw something together in my normal 2 minute getting dressed morning haste and came up with this.  I'm kind of loving it, and the vibe is very me.  {More after the jump}

My Outfit ~ My Eclectic Style & Swarovski DIY Giveaway Winner

Hey lovelies!  It's Wednesday... we're halfway there right?  Well today I've got something different for you... it's (gasp!) an outfit post!  Usually I feel that what I throw on in my morning haste (getting myself & the kids fed, lunches packed, dressed and out the door) is definitely not worthy of sharing, and I do hide under my casual work dress code.  But yesterday, I decided to throw on something different, and I loved it and needed to share!  {More after the jump}

DIY ~ Leopard Print Sweatshirt

Hey lovelies!  Hope your week is off to a good start :)  So in my DIY tease on instagram, I showed 2 fabric markers... and yup!  That's how I spruced up this sweatshirt!  My inspiration came from this Sandro Leopard Sweatshirt, but I immediately knew I could make something just as fabulous for only a small fraction of the price.  {How to after the jump}

Vacation Chic

Hi lovelies!  Thought I'd switch things up and share (gasp!) an outfit post for you!  It's been a while...  Anyway, I wore this look while on vacation a few weeks ago and loved it, so I modified it just a tad and wore it to work today (keep in mind, we have a casual dress code!) {Steps after the jump}

My Outfit ~ Ivory n Ikat

Hi lovelies!  Today I'm featured over on my great friend, Megan's blog, The Frugalista Diaries as part of her 5 Ways to Wear Hi-Low Hemlines!  {More after the break}

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}

My Outfit ~ Chunky and Drapey

Hey lovelies!  Thought I'd throw a quick post up of today's look!  I love playing with proportions, and today's look is all about chunky (necklace and platforms) and drapey (sweater).  I love how it forms a cohesive look, yet is carelessly chic. {More after the break}

My Outfit ~ Neon Coral Colorblocking

Hey lovelies!  We are having some GORGEOUS weather here in Denver, so I thought it was appropriate to wear a spring-like outfit.  {More after the break}

How to Dress For an Interview

Hello lovelies!  Today I had a super HUGE interview (which went amazingly!), and I thought I'd share with you some of my proven tips and tricks for properly nailing an interview!  Well, how to look the part at least :)  Over the course of my career, I've interviewed several people and I've talked with several people in HR and they've shared their tips with me.  The biggest surprise is that their mind is made up about you before they even shake your hand. This shocked me, but I soon realized how true it is.  Now my experience is in the corporate world, in finance and data analysis.  So if you are in a more creative field this may not all hold true.  But if you work or are looking for work in a corporate, professional environment, I strongly suggest you take my advice!  {More after the break}

My Outfit ~ I'm Under and Over It All

Hey lovelies!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend!  Here in Denver, it is WARM!  And by warm I mean it was around 70 degrees today.  Now I do have a casual dress code at work, but I could not resist the temptation of a skirt with bare legs and peep toe pumps today.  So I went with it! {More after the break}

My Go-To Outfit ~ Turquoise n Fuschia

Hi lovelies!  I know I haven't done an outfit post in pretty much forever, so even though I was only "meh" about this look I decided to share it with you.  I wear this outfit all the time, it's so comfy and cute and easy!  {More after the break}

My October Birchbox... and a Perfect Fall Outfit

Hiya lovelies!  Thought I'd give y'all a little post, sharing my new Birchbox with you, as well as the beautiful fall leaves and my outfit I wore on this horrible beautiful fall day!

 By now, I think y'all know how Birchbox works.  $10 a month, 4 high end beauty samples delivered to your door!  It's an addiction of mine, I think I'm on month #9 now :)

I'm in love with Ahava's Mineral Hand Cream, so I was wicked stoked to get the Mineral Foot Cream!  I absolutely love it and will be purchasing the full sized version soon!

I love mascara, I think it's my biggest beauty weakness, so I was ecstatic to *finally* get blinc mascara in my box!  It's amazing, and I'll be getting this, along with the Anastasia from my last box.  I also got these lash cards to use, which seem pretty rad.  Pangea Organics is an awesome organic local Boulder brand and I am obsessed with their lip balm.  This facial scrub is equally amazing!  Finally, I haven't tried the Ouidad humidity gel, but will be once we get a little humidity here in CO!

 Look at all the beautiful leaves!

Maybe tomorrow I'll take some pics by the orange and red leaves :) They're my fave, but these are right outside my condo...
