Has any one else noticed all the jelly/plastic shoes that have been coming back in style lately? What's your take on them!?  There have been some that aren't my favorite, but I have liked most! I loved these red jelly flats and thought they were so cute! I also really loved this fun measure tape gold cuff! How fun is a unique bracelet like that?!

Polka Dots and Kate Middleton

A few weeks ago Jake and I were in Vegas and got to go shopping! I found this cute polka dress at Topshop and was super excited about it! I was trying to find a link to this dress and could not find one anywhere! I was surprised because its new and it was no where to be found! Well I found out why! The beautiful Kate Middleton wore this dress recently and it sold out!! How cool is that?! I thought the article was kind of neat, so HERE is a link to it if you want to check it out and see how Kate wears the dress to! I guess thats kind of fun to think Kate Middleton and I have the same dress :) She wears it so well and looks adorable!

Can you tell I was surprised at Jake jumping? haha

Last night I got to join a few ladies at Pizzeria 712 for some pizza, chatting, and saying goodbye to Elisabeth as she moves to Ohio. I got a tomato basil pizza and loved it!  Jake was so cute and wanted to come along, so he hung out in the car and waited for me as I hung out with friends. He read some of his book and went on a walk. He also stopped at The Chocolate to get us some yummy cookies! Hes the best! I love sugar cookies from The Chocolate! 

Brooke, Myself, Elisabeth, Alycia, Aimee, Kirsten

Flowers and a Peter Pan Collar

I LOVE Karen Walker! She really has some of my all time favorite dresses hanging in my closet! I love her patterns, designs, quality of fabric, and so much more! I bought this dress awhile ago at Anthropologie and it has gotten lots of use since I got it! Dont mind my popped collar in some of the pictures... didn't realize it was sticking up! haha and the snag I got in my tights in the car on the way to take pictures :(  Do you ever get snags in your tights!? I feel like snags are so easy to get and the worst ever!

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?

Last week I got to go to SNAP! Oh my...I had a blast! (pictures from SNAP coming soon :) It was a blogging conference of mostly DIY blogger!  I loved being able to socialize, make new friends, and learn some new things about the blogging industry! I feel I left having a clear view of what I want to do with my blog, my store, ext. One evening at the conference was Queen Bee Market and Jake was so amazing and helped me set up my booth, and stay the entire time and man the booth. He is the best! I loved having him there. Its still a bit chilly outside, so it is making me want to wear frumpy clothes. Something about being cold and cozy go together well for me :)  This sweater, I got a few years ago in Belgium, and is still one of my favorite go to cozy wear items.

Here is Jake and I at my booth before the Queen Bee Market Started! Normally most markets I do are central check out, and this one was individual check out. I was loving seeing Jake be so helpful and creative with customers/friends. He was cracking me up! I saw a whole new, outgoing Jake that night and loved it! I also got to meet the owner of Riley Blake this night, and she even got one of my little stuffed animals! Riley Blake has had some of my all time favorite fabric patterns I have used for quilts and random projects! It was such a highlight for me meeting her :)

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?

I love Jake's slacks! This outfit of his with a sweater and slacks are one of my favorites. I love prints and was so excited when we finally found some cute printed slacks! Wahoo! We went to H and M the other day and ended up coming out with some great items (Jake's slacks, my shirt and pants). I rarely ever find anything when I walk into H and M, so I was so excited we both found something! The weather is still odd here in Utah, which I actually like :) It will be warm one day, and cold and windy the next. I just hope it keeps on raining! The rain has been so fun and peaceful!
