Roses and Lace

Happy Valentines Day!  Well, almost I guess.  I love Valentines day.  Ok, who am I kidding?  I love every holiday.  I love that you get to change your house every few months by adding adorable decorations.  For Triston's first Valentines Day I decided I was going to heart attack our house.  I picked out adorable heart shaped decorations and then stuck them to our walls with tack.  But those things just weren't sticking!  My sister came over and I showed her the tack that I had been using.  Turns out it wasn't tack but modeling clay!   Everywhere I had put the "tack" there were little spots of discoloration where the clay had eaten through the paint!!!  Yikes right?  What are some of your most memorable Valentines day stories?

For my look I wanted to do something girly and flirty.  Usually I just wear jeans and a cute valentines day shirt or sweater.  I paired my high waisted rose skirt with a black shirt and then put a lacy crop top over my shirt to give texture.  Added a pinkish/peach (is there an exact color name for this combo??) rose statement necklace and bracelets.  Added some loose romantic waves to my hair and finished the look off by mixing a coral lipstick with a light pink lipstick.  Hope you enjoy the look.  Have a wonderful valentines day.  Hugs XxX

A BOLD! Red Lip

I Love a bright red lip!  It is so classy and chic, especially during the cold winter months.  Bold red lips just scream Marilyn Monroe don't you think?  I wanted my look to kind of revolve around my red lipstick, so I used my lipstick as my accent color.  I am in love with my shirt from Tjmaxx.  That store is just a treasure trove, it does take time and patience, but you'll always come out with a prize.

The cut of this shirt and the print of it gives a hint of the 1950/1960s.  Again tuck the shirt in to give yourself a little bit of figure.  Do you notice something different....?  Yep, I left my skinny belt off.  I thought the outfit looked better without a belt.  Next time you reach for your usual clothing essential see what happens when you don't use it.  To finish the look, I put on my booties and jewels.  I think an outfit always needs jewels to complete it.  Hope you enjoy the look.  Hugs XxX

A POP of Neon!

Happy Thursday everyone,
It's been gloomy and snowing/raining here in Utah for the last few days.  I thought it would be fitting to dress like the weather but with a little twist.  All black with a POP of neon.  Just to show this weather that I am so ready for bright spring colors, and enough of this depressing weather.  I do love dressing in all black and tying in an accent color though, so that is one good think about gloomy weather.

I love this jacket.  I originally passed it up and then my husband grabbed it and told me to look at it again.  Thankfully I listened to him.  It was an awesome find.  Did I mention it was only $8.50?  I love a great bargain... To finish off the look I added my statement necklace, and some other jewels, then added my Cover girl enchantress lipstick.  Enjoy the look, and try adding in a pop of neon the next time you want to dress in all black ;)
Hugs XxX,
