As I promised, here is (finally) an outfit post! :) Enjoy.

Also, there might be some changes with the blog. I might be moving some things over to a different blog and be adding some crafty/sewing things to it as well.

Cami and cardigan, BP by Nordstrom
Skirt, Forever 21 (from my resent shopping trip)
Shoes, Dr. Scholl's
Ring, Forever 21
Watch, Nordstrom

Check out this amazingly awesome ring! Sooooo freaking cute!
I am completely obsessed with it.

I bought this watch from the BP section at Nordstrom.
I tricked one of my coworkers, she thought it was a Michele watch.
It was only $11.90! Ohhh, the savings...

St. Patty's Day!

Shirt, Forever 21

Cardigan, BP by Nordstrom
Jeans, Paige Denim
Shoes, Hot Kiss
Necklace, Wet Seal

Bag, Coach

This was my "night out" outfit. I wore basically this to work. The only differences were I wore this 3/4 sleeve cardigan buttoned up over the dress with a belt and the Hot Kiss shoes.

I had to close, and the boys were all at home waiting for me so we could head out. I realized after I had already changed that I forgot to get a picture of my work clothes!

The hubs looked good as well! His belt buckle was his bit of green for the night. He also thought the Red Sox hat was Irish enough. ;)

For the record, he wore:

Shirt, Nordstrom
Hat, Boston Red Sox

Jeans, Seven For All Mankind

Shoes, Nike

Shirt and skirt, brand unknown, but I bought them both at Ross
Cardigan, BP by Nordstrom
Tights, Hue
Shoes, Rampage







Pretty basic and easy outfit. This shirt makes the boobies look weird, so I can only wear it tucked into something high waist anymore.

March 5th & 6th, 2010

I am starting to work more now, so hopefully you will be seeing more of me and my outfits. :)

Shirt, from Sears, forget the brand
Dress (as skirt), Forever 21
Belt, Forever 21
Tights, Nordstrom
Shoes, Hot Kiss


Here is an up close shot of the tights and the shoes. I desperately needed some new black flats - the ones from Wal-Mart were just not cutting it lately. I picked these up at Famous Footwear for about $30 after tax. They are nice, I just need to break them in (they rub on the ankles).

Overall, I REALLY liked this outfit! I have seen some gals post using a dress as a skirt, and I couldn't figure out how I could pull something like that off.

I forgot to catch a photo of my work outfit for the 6th, but I basically have worn this before here (the first outfit). Only, this time, I wore nude fishnets (Hue), and my new black shoes that I wore on the 5th.

April fools, you get the flu.

Yesterday was supposed to be a wonderful date night for my love and I. However, I decided to get the flu instead. I started getting sick on Friday, I felt a tickle in the throat. Wake up on Saturday, achey, fever, sore throat - basically, I feel like I am going to die. I stayed in bed all day, felt the same on Sunday morning. Went to work, then came back and went straight to bed again. By the end of the day, I was sick and tired of staying inside, haha! So, I chugged some Alka-Seltzer Flu medicine, popped a couple ibuprofen, and we went to dinner.


So, if you couldn't tell before, that is why my face and expression is completely dead, haha!


I am feeling a little bit better today, still really sore, but oh well.

Also, I dyed my hair a little darker, can ya tell??

Oh me, Oh my.

I want to apologize for the horrible lack of posting.  Looks like my lap top is pretty dead until I can afford to take it to the computer repair people... as of right now, I am using the boyfriends computer while he's off to work.  It's weird to not be on my computer since all my junk is there, and because he is a Mac guy, and I have a PC.  Oh well.

Either way, since I don't have my photos from my computer, here is a wonderful Polyvore recreation of what I wore last night to date night with Josh.  We went to see He's Just Not That Into You and then to dinner and drinks.  

I have a feeling I will be using these for a while ;)

Michelle Obama outfit challenge

Shoes, Sigerson Morrison from Target
Pearls, thrifted

The wonderful gals over at Thrifty Muse has made today "Michelle Obama style tribute". Here is my outfit! What do you think? There are some closeups of everything below, as well as some of the inspiration pieces from Mrs. Obama.


Pardon my head being chopped off, I had the look of death on my face because the dog was about to knock over the camera.. Urgh!







For my outfit, I really had the inspiration from the beautiful jewel tones that Mrs. Obama wears and loves, as well as the brooches she wears. The pearls, always a classy statement, plus with my own style, I layered suckers up! As for the flats, we all know that Michelle Obama is 5'11" and loves her flats.

Happy birthday to me!!

Saturday the 24th was my 21st birthday!! We celebrated on the 25th, because Josh didn't have to work that night. During the day on my actual birthday, I went to a basketball game with Josh, which was a lot of fun!



I had some great times, it was really a great birthday. Since I just moved a month ago, and just got a job about three weeks ago, it's safe to say I haven't made that many friends yet, so it was just Josh and I. Which wasn't bad, I do love my boy, but I def missed my friends and family.


To add to the frustration of the day, my cell phone decided to stop working. Really, there was no reason for it, it just stopped connecting. Weird stuff. But it started working again this morning, random, huh?!


Some drama went along with my birthday dress that I made a blog about, and we won't go into that. The short story, I couldn't wear it, which made me very sad. So instead, I wore this outfit when we hit the casino to celebrate on the 25th!





We went to Ruidoso, to the casino out there. We hit the bar first, and got a drink. Then we went to loose some money! And that we did. Haha, it wasn't much, I think he ended up spending like $57, all of it birthday money from family. After that, we went to the bar again, and got some more drinks and some food! After that, we hit the arcade and then went home. I passed out in the car. Good 21st birthday? Yes. Yes it was.

It was a beautiful day today in the New Mexico.. 70 and sunny! Mmm, once I get back to Ohio, I am going to miss winters like this. Tomorrow it is supposed to be 75 and sunny. Ahhh, I love it.


Josh and I had to run some errands today before he went to work. So we got dressed and went into town! Got some grocieries and vitamins and good stuff like that.


We also got the puppy a new toy! I think it's safe to say that he enjoys it.

First day of unemployment!

Here we go, kids. My first day of not going to work, but my outfit today is pretty similar to yesterdays outfit. Oh well.


It snowed another couple inches overnight, now we're around the 7 or 8inch mark. Josh's plane is supposed to come in tomorrow, but the airport has been canceling flights all day... I really really really really REALLY hope they don't do it with his. I miss my honey. :(

These shoes are so similar to the other black pointy shoes that I have no idea where I purchased, but they have studs on them! And, I got them from Wal-Mart over a year ago. For like 5 bucks. It's pretty insane, but they are comfy!


My brother tried to ruin the picture by jumping in front of it. He failed! But that is the reason for my expression and my hand sticking out for no reason. Mwahahhaa. I win.

I have been looking for a high waisted pencil skirt for a while now. I was at Ross looking for Christmas gifts for people when I came across this little number... for only $4.99!! It came with a silver belt also (not the one pictured, that was seperate).


You can't really tell from the picture, but the belt has gold studs. It's pretty awesome, I won't lie.


I was feeling down the other day, so I bought myself some new nail polish. It was buy two get one free OPI at Ulta! I got this color I am wearing in the photo, An Affair in Red Square, as well as two others. A holiday color (Don't Toy With Me) and an orangey coral color (Bright Colors Big City, or something like that).


Also, check out the Christmas tree. It's the one at my parents house. Can you tell my dad is a Star Trek/Spiderman fan? Every year, my dad gets us an ornament. My mom gets something Dr. Suess. My brothers changes every year. Dad gets himself something Star Trek or comic books. And I get kittens.

Glitter Girl!

Something felt a little off with this outfit, but I haven't worn this shirt in a long long time, and it's so very Holiday Season I felt like I should bust it out. Complete with the shiny shoes, I was glowing all day.

Welcome back.

Well, I've been home a couple days now, but have finally had time to take pictures and all that jazz. I had a wonderful time on my vacation. Spending time with my boy was wonderful. :D I miss him so much already.. urgh. Oh well. I will be with him shortly.


Thanksgiving was a pretty good day. I think I fed myself into a good coma, I'm still tired!

Turkeyyy.

Thanksgiving was pretty much a good day. A nice relaxing day with the family. We had dinner really late, around 8pm. My dad got off work at 5pm, and my brother at 7:30pm. I had about three outfit changes (haha!) total for the day too! And yes, the Rockstar is included in my Thanksgiving day outfit. :)

Numero uno was my "going to the store at 9am" outfits. Pretty easy. Woke up, threw on a hat, my coat, my Ugg's and some jeans.

Numero dos was my "pie making" outfit. Just some sweats and a teeshirt.


Numero tres was my actual Thanksgiving outfit. Just my Hudson's and a tee.

All if yo face.

I got the hair cut on Tuesday! Getting it dyed tomorrow by my friend from high school, Katy. Really excited to see what it's going to look like! I am really loving it, it's still long enough that I can put it back or curl it, but it's short enough that it doesn't bug the crap outta me like it has been.


It was warm when I went to work today. But when I was walking to my car after work... whoa, was it cold!

I felt totally cute today. Why? Well, it's kinda personal, but I'll tell you anyways. My Hanky Panky were yellow, they matched my outfit perfectly! ;)


Josh called me today at work while he was golfing just to tell me he loved me. It was pretty gosh darn adorable.

I got this pin as a gift from my regional manager after going through all my trainings and classes. It is a pink bra and panty set with rhinestones all over them and a measuring tape banner that says "100% Fit Certified". I always get so many compliments on it!


I have to explain the pants, they are one of my treasured finds! I got them at Nordstrom rack. The tag said they were originally $178, and there for $55.97. Also, they were on clearance for 40% off. PLUS! My 20% employee discount. So, I paid $26.87 for BCBG Max Azria slacks. Heck yes!

I don't think we're on the same page..

These are the shoes I was talking about yesterday, the uber-cheap ones that boggled my mind by their comfort. They were a grand total of $6.24 plus tax. I wore them all day at work. I am on my feet all day, and with new heels, no matter the brand, I usually have to change shoes mid-shift. I was amazed. I don't think my other pair that I got are going to be as lucky.
