{New Years Goals}

 With New Years fastly approaching. Let’s talk about new year goals! I don’t like saying resolutions anymore. That feels more like this year I’m not going to do this or that. The term goals feel more motivating.

Are you the kind of person that sets your resolutions to stop doing something and then makes sure you do  the thing up until the last minute? Does that even work?

Are you the kind of person that makes too many resolutions and then gets overwhelmed or too busy to accomplish them?

Or are you the type of person that had their life together and is just slaying left and right?

No matter what kind of person you are this is your friendly reminder to get started on your list. The days are getting shorter and we are getting older and it’s time to start living your best life !

Fashion Friday {Working Girl}

I am here reporting on this lovely Friday a little late in the day. I've had a very, very busy week. I'm just glad I made it through. We got the call on Monday afternoon that little man got into Preschool. So we rushed around to find him last minute supplies so he was ready to start on Tuesday. I finally had an answer to what my life was going to look like. Except I still had no idea what was coming my way. I was having my mixed emotions about the new normal and potentially being home alone with no kids. I however got thrown into a very crazy schedule. 

I had been in talks with my friend who owns a boutique downtown. I honestly thought it wasn't going to work out because of my not so open schedule. The shifts would've worked but the travel time would not. Luckily she was willing to work with me. I immediately scheduled an interview just a mere three hours after I dropped both kids off at school. I had a little alone time and went shopping and then downtown. 

Then this girl who has not worked an actual job in 10-11 years got hired on the spot. The rest of the week has been crazy. Training, learning how to multi-task again, car line. Now it's Friday and I'm ready to for the weekend break with my kids. I might stay in on the couch for a good long while. But we'll see skies the limit. 

I'm really excited for some new things I got coming your way. 

I'm going to have a focus on some home decor soon. So keep an eye on what's to come! 

Fashion Friday {Festival Fashion}

 It's that time of year again. It's like that saying always a bridesmaid never a bride. That's kind of how I feel about Coachella! I love the fashion, the music but I never get to go. So I dress up from as if I am going and enjoy it from afar. Which I'm sure most of you guys are too! I'm not the only one right?

Maybe one day I will go. Hey maybe one day I will be performing there.  You never know.

In the mean time I might feel the urge for some festival fashion-esque outfits to post throughout the month. Happy Friday!

I'm going on a date now.

Fashion Friday {Back to School}

I've had a crazy day of back to school shopping. I literally haven't sat down all day. Woke up bright and early with my little munchkin of an alarm clock. But it's the last few days of summer. I refuse to wake up early. I refuse to wake up before the sun. So I went back to sleep but that threw off the rest of the day of course. Back to school shopping turned into speed shopping. I'm just glad I had a small list from the teacher this year!

One of our favorite things to do before school is to get all the new clothes and then make outfits out of them and then do a fashion show. Since the day got away from us we are going to have to push that to tomorrow. But little miss definitely needed a date with her  mama today. I can't believe I'm going to have a 4th grader. I remember when I was in 4th grade! I got my first little boyfriend, I did cheerleading, I did the school talent show for the first time. I had short hair and bangs. 4th grade was a wild ride! We also didn't have dances we had skate parties in case you wanted to know. 

What are some of your 4th grade memories ?

Fashion Friday

It's been such a whirlwind the last couple weeks. I'm finally home after a crazy week in Dallas and then a crazy week in Orlando. Then I finished it off with some laziness this last week until the hubby went back to work. Then I have to play catch up before I get more summer. I plan on blogging about all that next week because it's a lot of stuff to sift through for it. Lot of exciting things. 

In the mean time it's Friday and you know what that means. It's been so hot here that I can hardly stand being outside for too long. My makeup will just melt off my face, my hair gets poofy and frizzy. I'm seriously contemplating doing my pictures inside until the summer is over. I'm just thankful for air conditioning! How are you surviving the summer?

CopyCat Tuesday

While I love the idea of "CopyCat Tuesday." It's purpose is to find inspiration and have your own take on an outfit. The idea that you see something and think "I have similar things in my closet". Not necessarily to be exact on copying someone else's outfit. Just to get the vibe from it, the feel of the outfit and create something of your own. While I didn't have the exact pieces in this outfit. I had items that had a similar vibe. A different style dress, a different vest which brought different colors to the outfit. Which lead to the boots that pop more against such a neutral palette. While this may sound like gibberish to some. I think of clothes as my art. It's an extension of me. It's how I express myself creatively. Do you feel the same way about clothes too?

 

Fashion Friday

 Recently went to Brunch downtown and wore this outfit. It's perfect for that casual, effortless look. Loving the print and cut of the dress. It doesn't cling but lays very nicely. Forever21 is still having their sale on dresses right now. Definitely a good deal on their inexpensive dresses for spring and summer so go stock up!

{Fashion Friday}..Married Life = Adventures

Blazer:Forever21, Lace Top: Forever21, Tube Top: Rue21, Necklace: Wetseal, Jeans:Pacsun, Booties: Forever21

It's officially February and I'm 11 days away from my birthday. I'm really excited for my early birthday present. Tickets to see Grace Potter and the Nocturnals in Rhode Island! I love being so close to all these little states. "Hey I'm going down to Rhode island for the day." "Oh just spending a weekend in Connecticut." It's very exciting. When Evan and I first got married we didn't have a lot of money like most newlyweds. So our social life consisted of renting movies, going to the movies, the drive-in movies, and umm eating food.
It wasn't until we were about to leave Colorado that it finally dawned on him that we should be doing more things. I think my exact words were "Ummm YEAH" So since then I've been planning tons of stuff. Let's go exploring here, let's try this new restaurant. Let's plan a trip to New York, or Italy! He may have created a monster. I love having little adventures and trying new things now. We are close to only being here for two more years so I plan on soaking up a lot of the east coast while we are here. What are some awesome New England Adventures we should do?
Happy Friday all!
