Instalife Lately

Okay, so I lost count with my "According to Instagram" and was too lazy to backtrack to see what "version" I'm on.  So I think I'll just be naming my insta posts whatever instantly pops into my head.  Heh!

I had the most awesome day off Thursday and this past weekend.  We went to Tucson(not Tuscon) to have my car looked at, but nothing was wrong with it and decided to enjoy the rest of the day!  We went to this amazing mexican restaurant called El Guero Canelo's, it is tooo delish, seriously, it is life changing.  You can check out their story here! 

Dress Obsessed

Dress: Anthro (Scalloped Stripes Dress), Belt: Anthro (Similar), Shoes: Anthro

Wow, wow, wow!!  So far this week is AH-mazing!  I wore this today and got so many compliments on it and can I just say how glad I am I bought it?  I got it at a great deal and how can you say no to that?  It is so comfy and perfect for a summer day and look at how cute the sleeves are!  I bought this to wear at my brother's wedding next weekend and just when I thought I had my dress, BAM! Another one comes into my grasps, but more on that later ;)

While checking out these pictures, I can't help but think my face looks different...maybe it's because my hair is actually down?  I've been putting it up, especially at work, but I do start out with it down...promise!  Time for a haircut?  I've been wanting long hair again lately, so I'm in between wanting to cut it and letting it grow!

By the way this was a fun day!  I had the day off and got to spend it with Chris and his family.  The weather here is started to get warm again, so that means, no more fall layers or sweaters, bummer!  I do however, loooove the sun, so you won't see me complaining!  Also, how many times do you think I can insert a comma into this blog post?  I've counted 10 so far.

Just Can't Get Enough...

Shirt: Thrifted
Skirt: Goodwill
Belt: Anthro
Shoes: Payless

Day two of a gorgeous day and me being retro with my outfitting!  Ha!  This morning I ripped up a pair of Chris's old pj pants and made this cute little bandana ;)  Then I made pancakes, eggs and coffee...what a great morning!  By the way, if I could sing in a band dressed like this for a living, I'd be the happiest...hmm...  I blame this huge creative juice flowing through me lately, whatever it is, it has me wanting to do EVERYTHING!   In college and after, I was really into photography, I took classes etc and learned basics, like how to develop my own film, actually work my camera on manual and all in between.  I really really miss those days and I really wanna get my hands on a great DSLR....I've also been craving a broccoli/spinach quiche lately, grr...so much to do and so little time!

Things I Love Thursday: My Little Black Dress

Dress: Anthro
Sweater: Thrifted
Belt: Anthro
Shoes: Charlotte Russe

You know that little black dress you have that you love and throw on for a day when you just don't know what else to wear?  This is mine!  It is also the exact dress I wore when Chris's sister got married back in October.  I remember seeing it, there it was, love at first site and after I tried it on, it was like Cinderella putting the perfect slipper back on her foot.  Ahh...those magical moments.  I love my little black dress!!

My friend Loralei Bailey took these photos during our quick lunch break at work!  Thanks girl!

Things I Love Thursday: Organization

 

This time around I am loving....Organization!! I've actually been meaning to show off some of my "organization skills" for a couple weeks now.  Everything I use was either thrifted or was bought at some point and nothing is above four dollars!  I love being organized because it is easier to find what I am looking for and keeps any space from looking messy.  Tip for organizing not just in your bathroom but anywhere in your house:  place things that you randomly put down in a jar or plastic bin to keep it tidy.  If you're naturally placing something somewhere, put it in something and it'll be easier to organize!

Things I Love Thursday...Part 1

I had to make a part one to my Things I Love Thursdays!!  I just figured out how to post from my phone!  How nifty huh?  So I decided to post what I am eating for lunch!  A rice and bean burrito with cabbage, lettuce, pico, and sour cream!  Sooo yummy!!
