Roar

Whenever I wear this sweater I feel like Katy Perry. I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire. Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar. Louder, louder than a lion. Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar. You get the point, right? I hope so. And I always sing that song to Adam when I throw this bad boy on. I am sure he regrets telling me I should buy it... But I think he told me to buy it so I would stop growling at him in Forever 21.

Do you have any outfits that make you sing? Or am I just the odd man out here? I feel like the best outfits are the ones that make you feel like you are celebrity status... Just me? Okay... Also. I am probably the only adult that would wear a tiger shirt in public... Basically what I am saying right now is I am odd and I am okay with it.

I wore this little diddy over at the Francesca's party last week. You can read all about the party over here at Breezy Days. At one point in the night I also was testing out the golden cat ears on sale at the store... but you need to go to Bri's blog for that gem. How do you dress when you head to a party? Or a get together? Are you all about comfort or showing up to dazzle?

Greens on Greens and a Giveaway

Slowly. One by one. I am clearing these green leaf photos out of my drafts box. Because let's face it. Fall is here. And most things are dead by now. And by most things, I mean everything on the Alpine Loop... more on that later. You might remember this diddy from my closet transition post - which, doesn't it seem odd that my fall outfit has a summer backdrop? whatevs... But I loved this outfit too much to not show you the details. So let's do it.

Dress: c\o Lands End \\ Cardigan: Downeast Basics \\ Scarf: Soel \\ Boots: TJ Maxx

And of course, and outfit post isn't an outfit post without a little something extra! I am teaming up with some beautiful women to celebrate in Miss Bree hitting 300 posts. And what is up for grabs? $50 for Etsy. Just in time for you to start your holiday shopping for friends and family... and yourself, duh! Want to know my fave Etsy shop? Well, even if you don't. I am telling you anyway! Chevron and Lace. She makes a ton of baby things, has an adorable fox costume up, and is currently breaking into woman's clothing. I am totally obsessed with her stuff... so much that I just bought a special dress from her. You can look forward to that later though! What would you buy on Etsy? What is your fave shop?

The Giveaway will close on October 30th and we will announce the winners on Halloween. :)

Good Luck!

He Doesn't Like It

I figured it was time to get this outfit out of my drafts for two reasons. First. Leaves aren't green any more. Who am I trying to fool? Second. I learned this weekend that Adam does not like this dress. I tried to wear it two or three different times and every time he would say, "Can I pick out your outfit?" Eventually I just looked and him and said, "Do you not like this dress or something!?" And he said, with the sweetest little smile, "No, I don't." And when I asked for an explanation he said, "I don't know!? There is just something about it..." Well, jokes on you Adam. Because I like it and I will just keep it and wear it went he goes back to Arizona for baseball.

Dress: SexyModest \\ Extender Slip: c\o Fancy Slips \\ Shoes: Target

Bracelet: c/o Lands End \\ Necklace: Gifted from Etsy

And while the leaves aren't green anymore, this dress is still a keeper. Because even though I have turned Adam into a male fashionista (he would kill me for saying that... but fact is fact) this dress stays. And truth be told, I don't care who doesn't like it! Something about that gold chain pattern won my heart. Do you have any items that your friends or husband don't like but you love? Are you going to stick it to the man with me? Or am I a lone wolf over here?

Without a Smile || Giveaway

A long, long time ago I posted about Notes and Knots and said the full outfit would be coming soon. Well here we are one whole month later with the outfit for your viewing pleasure. This has been my favorite casual outfit lately. It is easy, simple, and comfy to all ends. You might remember me mentioning I am a spandex girl before. So add my favorite chambray to spandex and hair pulled back with a cute headband? You have a winner! Like. A serious winner. It is great for lounging and running errands. Then, if you are going out that night or meeting up with a friend throw on some fun flats and a bold necklace and it is transformed from relaxed to snazzy! But in addition to that... remember, you are never fully dressed without a smile! That is a hint, hint to hang around until the end of the post to hear about teeth!

Chambray: Gap \\ Leggings: Walmart \\ Shoes: Forever Young

Headband: c/o Notes and Knots \\ Necklace: Bluebird Bride

Okay. So I mentioned smiles and that forever famous Annie song. My smile is something I take pride in. I work hard to keep it nice. So hard that I pulled out all my baby teeth (ones that weren't even loose) in 3rd grade so I could get braces sooner.. I know. That is is pushing it. But Fast forward after all the braces, dentist appointments, and Crest Whitestrips... this last year my wedding gift from my brother and his wife was a whitening kit for Adam and myself. LOVED it. And today, thanks to Marz Orthodontics you can win your own teeth whitening!

Dr. Kenneth Marz has been a practicing orthodontist since 1995, and spends his spare time volunteering for Healing Hands for Haiti.

Le Tote

The best things in life offer a rental program... the library, Netflix, my mother's movie collection... and now Le Tote! So I bet you are wondering, what is Le Tote? This website is awesome for us women that love to get new clothing but aren't ready to clear out the old items because it allows you to pay a monthly fee and an unlimited closet. In fact, their tagline is, "Your closet expanded."

I got a lot of fun things in my first box. To be honest, the items they sent aren't things I would be totally drawn to at the store and off the rack, but I have LOVED putting the outfits together once the items were in my hand. Here are two outfits from my first Le Tote box.

When you first log onto the site you'll create a style profile, add some designer pieces to your closet and a team of stylists will send you a box featuring 3 garments & 2 accessories that fit your chosen style. You get to wear them for as long as you like and then send the box back and get another one with all new items in it. Essentially you can have unlimited boxes a month for your $49/month fee. It is super simple and convenient because they include a return envelope for the items once you wear them.

Le Tote is an awesome opportunity to try out new looks and new styles with designer items without breaking the bank. Plus, you will always have something new and fun to wear, and who doesn't love that?! 

Blazer Love

I've developed a blazer obsession lately. Whenever Adam and I go out to walk the mall, that's right - I said walk the mall because we ain't go no money, I seem to find my way to the blazer section. It could be to do with the fact that last month we had a lesson on being business professional at work. Or it could just be the grown up in me... because let's face it, I am 25 now. And that is a milestone marker. No matter what the cause, I love me some blazers! And beyond that, I love to keep my blazers trendy and fresh with some accessories. When I saw this tassel necklace on Style Lately I KNEW it would be perfect for a blazer outfit. It has just enough flair while keeping it classy.

Jeans: Gap \\ Tee: Gap \\ Blazer: Forever 21

Necklace: c/o Style Lately \\ Earrings: c/o  Le Tote \\ Shoes: Forever Young 

I love shopping at Style Lately because they have a lot of different items at great prices. You can shop their flash deals or their regular store. I have a huge wishlist from their store, starting with the liquid leggings. But like I said earlier, I am a sucker for accessories that help keep my grown up attire trendy. I am loving this necklace too. What about you? What do you gravitate towards at the store? What is your favorite way to keep your outfits young and trendy?

Back It Up || Giveaway

Yesterday Adam and I were driving back from Idaho to Utah when we come to a congested area on the freeway. Over by Thanksgiving Point they were doing some road construction and four lanes suddenly went down to two. Not a big deal at all, traffic probably slowed down for a solid mile... just one, nothing to worry about. So imagine my surprise when I looked over to the right and saw a car backing up on the ON ramp. The on ramp? What? Yeah... that is right. Clearly they were too pressed for time to even try to wait until the next exit. What does that story have to do with this outfit? Nothing. I just wanted you to know how absolutely ridiculous of a thing I saw yesterday. Now onto the outfit and the giveaway! Today I mixed in all my colors. Peach, yellow, and royal to make an outfit that looks pretty snazzy if I do say so myself. And a woman at the doctors office told me I looked like I stepped out of a British Magazine. I will take that as a compliment. What do you think?

Sweater: Lands End \\ Polka Dot Colored Shirt: Soel \\ Pants: Gap

Necklace: c/o Our World Boutique \\ Shoes: Target

Something that I absolutely love about the bubble necklace from Our World Boutique is that they come in silver and gold. So now, in addition to bubble necklaces of every color you can get the gold accents, which I haven't seen offered at many other shops. And since I am a gold girl I was TOTALLY sold on the necklaces offered at Our World. They also have some really fun jewelry like the 7 Flower Necklace I wore last week and the Silver Tarnished Gems Necklace. But today, I am giving away a bubble necklace of your choice to one lucky winner care of Our World Boutique! What color would you pick? How would you style your bubble necklace?

Bringing Flowers With Me

Very quickly the summer colors are turning into golds, reds, and oranges. And so I am embracing the last moments of greens and sun by wearing all my summer pastels one last time before they get packed away. Let me set the record straight, I am an equal color clothing opportunist. They aren't getting packed away because they are pastels, but they are getting packed away because they are summer clothes. And summer clothes don't fly here in cold, cold Utah with snow that reaches into March. But at least I can hold onto some summer with pastel pumps and floral necklaces. What do you think?

Dress: Little Black Fashion Truck \\ Cardigan: Cotton On \\ Belt: Little Black Fashion Truck \\ Shoes: Famous Footwear

Necklace: c/o Our World Boutique \\ Braclet: Miss America Tradeshow \\ Watch: JCPenny

I am all about making my outfits fit all seasons and the necklace is perfect for just that. With the bold flowers and rhinestone accents it works for anything summer, but it is also a great statement piece to wear with a chunky sweater and come boots once fall rolls in full force. So when the flowers are all frozen and gone, I am going to bring the flowers with me! What items do you have that bring spring into fall? Is your jewelry friendly for all seasons? Are you a jewel-tones only for fall or a mix in the pastels girl?

DBacks Nation

I'm leaving on a jet plane.

Don't know when I'll be back again.

Today I am heading to ARIZONA!

I am so stinking excited to see my husband. 

See Arizona, aka - our future (hot hot hot) home. 

Go to my very first MLB game - Diamondbacks vs Nationals. 

And maybe Adam will let me purchase this shirt. Or this one?

And have I mentioned see my husband!?
