All Sorts of Boring




Sooo, let's just pretend Tuesday's post never happened. Kay? Kay. Because I'm going to be honest with you guys, I was totally still half asleep when I wrote that. I guess that advice that if you have an idea in the middle of the night you should wake up and write it is totally bogus. At least for me anyway. My half asleep ideas are preeeeeeetty weird. So yeah, that's that. Also, it's 63 degrees here in Utah. In DECEMBER. Is anyone else disturbed by this? I sure am. I mean, I like nice weather and all but I REALLY, REALLY want a white Christmas. I mean, after eighteen years, a girl sort of get's used to having snow for the Christmas season! Also, I don't know if I ever mentioned this to you guys but before I worked at the DMV I worked at a restaurant called Village Baker. Anyway, now that I'm working at Ferrari Color I almost always pick up the phone and start saying, "Thank you for calling Village Baker!" Talk about confusing! It's crazy how silly things like that can get so ingrained into our habits! Anyway, that's all I have to say for today. I know, I'm all sorts of boring. I guess my mind is just elsewhere. Also, this going to bed early thing isn't really working out for me. Now that I've made the conscious decision to listen to my body and go to sleep the moment it feels tired, I don't feel tired till midnight. Go figure.

I love the look of all black outfits in the Winter (or in Utah's case, FALL) especially with shiny riding boots! It's just one of those classic simple looks that are always super chic! I didn't want to be too plain, though, so I livened it up with some festive green plaid. Also, purple hair, you guys. I know I've said this a thousand and one times but I seriously wish my actual hair were purple! As it is, I'm too chicken-y to do it so I'll just stick with this cute wig! ;)

Much love!

Oldies





I saw the grossest thing at work the other day. I don't even know why I'm sharing it with you guys because it was seriously disgusting. But, eh, I've never been one to be discreet on here so here goes. I was just being a good little ol' worker mindin' my own business when in walks this customer with a limp. I noticed he had an arm behind his back so I thought there might have been something wrong with his arm too. BUT, as he walked away I got a glance at his backside and his limp was being caused by a very thorough butt scratching!!! So foul, right?! I bet you all hate me now for sharing that lovely little gem! In other news, my yoga subscription ends next Tuesday and I'm thoroughly depressed! Boo! Also, I love old people. I really, really do. If it were solely up to me and not a little bit creepy all my best friends would be old people. They're just so dang nice, and equally as deaf, clueless, and slow moving as I am. ;)

I love, love, love, mixing textures and one of my favorite ways of doing that is by mixing denim with plaid! It's understated yet fun! If you're wanting to experiment with mixing textures this is definitely a mix to start you off with! It's also fun to do it with the plaid over the denim. I had also been dying to do another post with this lovely tulle skirt because I haven't worn it nearly enough!

Much love!

Trend Alert: The Folded Over Tote






These photos are so funny to me because right as Shailynn and I were shooting them a group of teenage girls stopped on their way into the theater to stare at us. Now, that in and of itself isn't too funny, the funny part was that as they stood their staring they started whispering to each other, "Is that Kylie Jenner?"..."I think it is, look at her hair. It's the same color."..."Should we say something?" This was mainly amusing to me because Kylie is about a good 7 inches taller than me, 5 years younger (she's 17, can you believe it?!), and her hair is currently blue/green, not purple. Sad that I know all this? Probably. Buuuut, I did confess to you all that I'm a closet "Keeping up with the Kardashians" fan. "Don't judge me, Lizzy. Don't you dare judge me." Sorry, I just had to throw in that Pride & Prejudice quote because it fit so well, don't you dare judge me for my like of that silly reality TV show, you guys, don't you dare judge me. ;) There are so many things on my to do list, and so many "just-for-fun" things that I'd like to do this week. Mostly little social outings that would very likely involve making possibly important connections and yet alls I wants to do is procrastinate it all, stay at home, and watch The Mindy Project. I'm so bad. Mostly, I'm just suffering from mild cold symptoms and I would like to stay snuggled until I feel better.  Anyone want to take care of all my business for me so I can chill at home? Eh? Eh? Any takers? Didn't think so. ;)

I don't know about you guys, but I follow MadeWell's blog on Bloglovin' (it's really quite good and you should all follow it) and one of the trend's they predicted for this Fall season was the "Tote as a Clutch" trend. I decided to try it out and I'm totally digging it. I feel like it just has a way of making an outfit look instantly more chic and it's easy as pie all you have to do is take any old tote bag, I used my "baby-poop-smell" one, and fold it in half letting the shoulder straps hang loose. Bam. Insta glam. Insta updated trend. Also, plaid and booties. If they don't scream fall then I don't know what does. Also, happy first day of Fall!!! Yay!! It is O-ffically my favorite season of the year now! Which also means that four days ago I turned 22 and a HALF! Carazzy? Mmm, yes. Anyway, I'll link some totes I'm lovin' down below so you can all get yerselves one to try out the "tote-clutch" trend!

Much love!
