Fashion...Mall walking

I did a quick run through of a couple of stores while making some returns today. 

I love to window shop and see whats out there.

These few pieces caught my eye as I did a quick run in and out of the stores:

Ann Taylor- Fringe Blouse

Famous Brand Shoes- Gladiator Sandals

Claire's  ( Park City Location)- Crossover Messenger bag

Claire's (Park City Location) - Multi Print Backpack (Fun as a diaper bag/or kids)

I love seeing the "younger" style. Even though I still think of myself as  "Young" I like taking the edgy elements and making them age appropriate for me. I loved her edge with print mixing and color blocking.

Calvin Klein- Button down Roll-up shirts

Calvin Klein- Colors

 PLUG: I promised I would give CLAIRE'S at Tanger Outlets in Park City a shout out! Clean and organized store with super cute, fun, trendy jewelry and accessories. ALSO, they have 10 for $10!!! Awesome!

Fashion...is What You Make It!

I'm a firm believer that FASHION is what you make it!

We do not walk off the pages of Vogue.

Most of us have a budget and an only afford so much...

So that being said, develop your own style 

according to what you can afford.

After only getting through 

HALF

of Elle

I noticed lots of print mixing.

" Um yeah...that has been the trend for a while now!"

OK, OK. So its been the trend for a while.

But lets start small.

Polka dots and stripes.

Two fundamentals that will be good to remember when mixing patterns.

Both can be used as your "solid".

Don't forget your color blocking

when mixing prints.

My saying is

 "if you feel confident enough to "rock it" then do it!"

The Outfits below are all from Old Navy and bought out of their Clearance section.  Buy off of Clearance and make it trendy to the current season.

Navy polka dot skinnies ($8.49), I rolled the cuff up. Yellow and Navy striped ruffled Henley ($5.99), sleeves are rolled up. Yellow and sea foam green skinny belts ( 2-pack $5.47) Medallion Necklace is from Claire's 4 years ago.

I "long cuffed" the legs first and then cuffed again.
 This gives a less structured effect to your outfit.

I laced the two belts together to make a statement piece.

Color blocking with Yellow and Sea-foam. Yellow skinnies ($8.49), Heather Grey Graphic T ( $8.99), Belt part of the 2 pack. Aztec multi colored wedges are from DRESSBARN ($34.99), Reused from spring is here post.

Multi String Statement Necklace ( Claire's, 4 years ago) dresses up a casual shirt. The word "Love" and skinny belt are the same hue. This is a very subtle way of color blocking. Great for beginners.

I do want to apologize, the mannequin I'm using has ZERO shape and so if the outfits come across as frumpy then that would be why. I also am NOT a photographer. I'll leave the lighting and angles to the professionals.

Life as my nail polish!

I got a manicure a couple weeks ago for my birthday. 

I normally DON'T get regular nail polish anymore.

 I stick with gel/shellac on my hands.

 I decided to get normal polish this time to cut back on time. 

Two weeks later it looks like that!

The point of this post is this....

Why haven't I removed the polish yet?

 I can't tell you why.

 We all have done it. 

We let it sit on our fingernails until we can pick every last bit of color off. 

Why? 

Its so weird. 

I have polish remover....

I'm very confused by the female nature. 

After I post this I'm marching my butt right into the bathroom and taking care of this immediately.

LIFE as a Hockey Girl!

I went to my very first hockey game in January 2013. Ever since then I have been OBSESSED! I'm not a sports girl...never have been. I am not one to watch or follow professional sports.

Its hard to beat a hockey game....fast paced, loud mouthed, foul language, and fights. Not to mention the people watching! Oh man...its a good time!

Another BIG reason why I love it because its our home team (UTAH GRIZZLIES) and I can go see the games in person. None of this following on the t.v. crap!

The first game I went to I quickly became attached to a few players 

(Stoflet, Battani, Tuzzolino, Eddy, Vock, and Patterson). 

Some of it was because I thought they looked good in their uniforms (Stoflet, Eddy),

 I liked the way they moved on the ice

 ( Vock and Patterson...they look like twins in their uniforms and skating), 

others it was their name (Tuzzolino, we like to call him "Cousin Lino"), 

or that they were always fighting and in the penalty box (Battani). 

I know, I'm such a girl.

 It should be because of their stats and how they play,

 but at the time I didn't even know the game ( I am still learning).

For some reason I'm always get on edge when we are on our way to the game. 

Maybe its the excitement,

 but my husband can't drive fast enough, 

we will be late,

 too many people.

 I'm a basket case. LOL

So we went to the game on Wednesday ( March 6th) and it was by far the best game yet. 

We lost but it didn't matter. 

A few games ago we took a survey and got 4 free tickets. 

So we cashed them in! 

Yahoo! 

Free Game!

Because it was a Wednesday the arena was pretty empty. At the end of the second period I had noticed that the 1st row seats in our section haven't had anyone in them.

 After begging my husband for 5 min, convincing him that we wouldn't get in trouble, we moved down to row one. The only way to get closer to the ice was to be ON the ice. 

Of course, 1st row is where I belong. I fit right in, yelling, jumping up and down, throwing my hands up yelling " COME ON!", booing....basically being a loud mouth!

 My husband  on the other hand belongs in row 30. 

So there I was so into the game,

 its the last period, 

we are getting our asses kicked,

 then my favorite boys get on the ice.

 I have front row...if their wasn't glass in my way I would be pinching their bums!

Grizz Bee walked by and sat on our laps! That was awesome!

I love the way Battani runs his mouth! 

A couple elbow throws later and hes off the the ice.

 Now Stoflet is RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!

 I start snapping away with my phone and I'm now practically sitting on 3 guys laps who were to my left because I kept trying to get good shots. 

Stoflet skates around, makes eye contact with me, 

gives me 3 eyebrow raises...

I START FREAKING OUT LIKE A 13 YEAR OLD AT A JUSTIN BEIBER CONCERT.

 I'M WAVING LIKE A CRAZY AND THEN HE GIVE ME A SMILE! 

Ha Ha Ha Ha....I was an excited mess.

 My husband is just laughing and shaking his head at me the entire time while I'm flustered that I got a SMILE from Stoflet. 

 Well needless to say I'm trying not to approach stalker status because of my crush. 

I'm grateful that I am married and have an alibi. 

Going to another game on Saturday! Can't wait!

On my way to the game!

Grizz Bee sitting on my lap!

From active and retired Military night! Love this!

Battani, running his mouth.

SHOUT OUT!!!

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to my good friend Chelsey Ann for helping me design the blog!! 

I can post all day long, but making it look good is a different story!

Chels, 

THANK YOU so much for putting in time and effort into something that wasn't your project! 

I truly appreciate it!

Love ya!

Make-up...Pinks and Corals!

Its that time to start incorporating corals and pinks into your make up!

 Go with bright cheeks and a bold lip!!

Try ombre on your lips. I put an orange coral as my base and then added a bright pink in the middle and blended. Mine is more subtle...I don't want to make TOO much of a statement! 

Bright pink cheeks with a bright pink lip! Fun and Flirty...makes me want spring to be here already!
