stripes and floral

 

This jacket from Zara (last seen here) is becoming one of my favorite items in my closet! I love how its easy to pair things with, and keeps me warm! I never realized how much I love layering clothes and love a light jacket to wear for any occasion. I need to start buying some more light weight jackets that can be worn year around :) They seem like an item that can get lots of wear and tear from! What are some of your favorite items to layer?

me in a nutshell

Normally this is not an outfit I would put together for an outfit post. This is an outfit I picked up off the floor and ran out the door to go to lunch in. When I am in a hurry I grab whatever is on the top of the laundry basket to wear :) Somehow though, this outfit seems to be me in a nutshell. My sweet friend Sasha and I got to go out to lunch and she had her camera with her and took these pictures :) She always can capture the moment! I dont know why, but for so many reasons, I feel these pictures describe me to a T. 

1. Way quirky (can you find Tuna?)

2. Mix and matchy..I always wear way to many patterns and different combos

3. Faux fur- I love big coats and singing rap songs. They help me feel thug ;)

4. Sunglasses- These sunglasses were my dads (my favorite sunnies because of that!) I feel I have always looked so much like him, and with no make up on like in these pictures, I look even more like him ;)

5. Jakes T-shirt - I love wearing Jakes clothes. I like the smell of them after he has worn them.

6. Star Trek- I have always been a nerd and love geeky things. I can't resist! Especially when my husband loves all that kind of stuff too!

7. Cheetah Print- I used to be obsessed with Cheetah print and my entire room in collage was decked out in cheetah gear!

8. Gold tipped shoes- I like gold anything :)

9. Waxed Jeans - I am obsessed with them! When I find something I like, I buy it over and over and over again. I bought way to many of these waxed jeans. I just love the way they feel when I am wearing them! 

And the list could go on....! 

Do you have any clothing items or clothing combos that just scream "you?" 

I have always wanted to be a gangsta :)

singing in the rain with a stripe jacket, waxed jeans, and orange details

It started raining again! Wahoo! So awesome! I LOVE Rain! I was so excited when I found this bubble umbrella at Target! Seriously, one of my all time favorite purchases! I love that you can see rain through it, and hear the rain hitting the plastic! Such a great sound! I also love this new jacket I got at Zara! They have some great coats and Jackets! I need to buy some more :)  Here are some fun picture Jake and I got in the rain! P.S. Jake is officially a pirate in this post :) I was loving how his hints of orange were showing up so bright in the pictures with the dark rainy background! I loved it! P.S. I cant believe its already middle of April. Time is flying by this year! Anyone else feel that way?

Chillin by the Lakeside

Today I am wearing black women's bow tie I made with my favorite waxed jeans and suede shoes! Have you guys tried waxed jeans yet?! They are Jake and I's favorite! We both tend to only buy waxed jeans now because we love the way they fit and feel.  Jake is wearing one of my favorite blazers of his today. I always love a classy blazer and t-shirt on a man. We went down by the lake to take these pictures and we were loving the background! With the weather getting a little sunny around here, the snowcapped mountains and scenery have been amazing!

Neons and Bright Yellow

I have always loved bright colors! Sooo.. I am LOVING the Neon trend right now! I loved this hot pink neon floral blazer I found at Ann Taylor Loft, and loved that it let me play up some bright colors with it! I decided to go with some bright yellow accents, because I have a ton of yellow in my closet, it made it easy!

Also, can I talk about this beautiful handmade necklace from Erika Lauren?! I LOVE IT! Guess what? I won a giveaway, and won this beautiful necklace from Erika!
