Colorblock & Colored Jeans

You might be sick of this trend by now, but I'm still loving it.  And until I can get my hands on some red jeans, these not-denim-blue-but-royal-blue jeans will have to do.

Leapfrog

I tried not to get blown over or spike myself on a yellow cement pillar during an impromptu game of leapfrog.

Does this Pink Leather Cuff look familiar?  Michelle Money wore a turquoise version on the Women Tell All episode (seen here). The great people at Art on a Wire sent me my very own as a thank you for blogging about it.  I chose pink.

Now to the leapfrog game.  Lulu won.

 But to be fair.  I did get up a little further, but those photos were not attractive. Lulu makes it look effortless.

Happy Friday!

Hippie Chic With New Bedding

My navy blue guest bedroom is coming along! With the completion of the walls, I finally got to put to use the bedding I'd already gotten awhile ago!  So little by little this room is coming along and I'll show you little sneak peaks along the way until the grand finale!

It's all pretty  plain still, as there is nothing else in there yet.  Just a pretty made bed and a little new bench I found at a reclaimed furniture store (Liberty Bell) in Kansas City.  But I love the pop of orange so much!  It'll be fun to start putting the rest of the room together.

My Bedding: West Elm Pin Tucked Duvet & 2 Shams, Orange Sheets, Pillow Cases and Bolster by Isaac Mizrahi via QVC; Orange blanket from Home Goods & Orange Wood Flowers in Clear Vase from Etsy

My Hippie Girl Outfit: Turquoise Necklace by J.Crew via Ebay (last seen here); White Blouse from Forever 21 years ago; Jeans  from Gap & Heels from Target

Day 23 {nothing special}

Nothing special today... feeling lazy, tired of these old rags that I've just about worn out and can't find any of my cool accessories to make these clothes better in this house of mine that is STILL under remodeling craziness (aka, an absolute mess).  I'll have some home progress pics soon...

 {Gap houndstooth button down shirt + Urban Outfitters bow-tie hoodie + Gap skinny jeans + lace up heels}

I'm wearing a couple pieces of jewelry I did manage to find... My bird earrings are some of my favorites from one of my favorite Etsy shops, and gold bracelet from Loft.  Hope tomorrow I feel a little better about my outfit!

No that is not our new floor I'm standing on... paper is down to protect the new floor as painting is still in progress...

Day 20 {Denim on Denim}

Back to this denim tunic - I might wear this thing so much in this 30 day remix challenge that I might never wear it again after!  But here I am again, on Day 20 wearing this uber comfy denim tunic top.  I rolled up my sleeves, layered over my stripe J.Crew top and wore with more denim to try and make it look different.

{Pirate boot wannabes, and a little bun too} 

I wore all my best denim to work because I had a fancy night out for a work "thing".  We first went to Manifesto for drinks.  Same place I was just at on Day 13.  Ya, I'm hooked now.  So anyways, back to the speakeasy-style bar below a fancy restaurant, I got my new favorite drink.  So good.  A rum drink called Winter in Buena Aires. 

We then went up to that fancy restaurant for dinner.  The Rieger Hotel Grill & Exchange had something for everyone - mainly a meat joint, they even had a vegetarian option for me and it was amazing.

Yum Yum!

Day 12 {Hoot-hoot, Hoot-hoot}

Do purple and orange go ok together?  I kinda like it.  But I like weird color mixtures.  I was inspired by my multi-colored owl necklace (via Forever 21 this summer, similar) and layered on my not-worn-yet Loft tiered tank tunic over my orange (coral?) J.crew turtleneck (last worn on day 1).  Pulled on my skinny jeans and called it a day.  This outfit is super comfy.

Day 10 {Unzipped}

It's super duper cold here.  I think it's cold everywhere.  I put on my warmest of the 30 pieces - my J.Crew zipper neck sweater.  I wore it on the first day of this challenge over a bright turtleneck with the zippered neck a little more zippered.  Today I unzipped it all the way - to change the look up a bit - and wore over a green tee with jeans.

Not super thrilled with this outfit - it was a lazy day of just staying warm and comfy.  I'll try to do better. :)

Day 5 {Sequins for Day into Night}

Maybe a bold pick for only 30 items, but I was able to wear my sequin top by day and night!  Under a cardi, it wasn't overpowering with sparkles and the jeans played it down a bit.

 

Sequins, turquoise bling, olive green cardi and orange shoes!  Seems like a lot going on...

And I was using my little turquoise wristlet that you recently saw in my purse.

Day 2 {Fair Isle Warmth}

Well, it's the coldest day of the year {um, one of many to come, I'm sure}, so I picked my fair isle sweater that I scored on the clearance rack at Target a month ago.  Paired this with a stripe tee, over jeans and my slouchy grey boots and called it an outfit.

Nothing to crazy, but defiantly like this sweater and think I can have some fun with it!  My Keurig is also lending a hand to keep my warm {and awake}.

{See clothing details here}

And here are some snowy pictures for you:

 

Brrrrrr....Hope everyone is staying warm!

My NYE Outfit - Casual with a hint of bling

Since I'm doing the more low key things this year, I'm actually not planning to wear a dress! I can't believe it!  Here's what I plan to wear...

Loft sequin top with a velvet black blazer, my Gap skinny jeans and black booties.

Tonight the weather is suppose to get pretty bad (even though yesterday was 68 degrees), so who knows, I might be in snow boots! :)  We'll see.  I hope you all have a great and safe evening. Talk to you in 2011.

From Day to Night Outfit with Lace

Lace, sequins, metallic, patterns, jewels... oh my.  It's all the rage right now and I love it all!  But I do limit how many trends I weave into each of my outfits.  This one I played with jewels, around my neck and on my pockets for day and then added a lace skirt for night.  My day to night outfit:

Outfit of the Day: Layering Up with Target

Lately I've been limiting my layering to just two.  That's not too hard, so I thought I'd aim for a third and then some...and all with Target, of course.  Here is my outfit, layer by layer:

Jacket (similar), hoodie, silky tank (different color), scarf and flats (similar) from Target;  

Jeans from Gap, hat from H&M

True story on the jacket - I found it on the sale rack and got an additional 20% off, so it was super cheap.  Obviously being from Target and less than $20, it's purely pleather.  Who doesn't love some pleather?  You don't have to worry about rain or snow ruining it, getting it scratched up, etc...  

Well, the hubs wasn't amused by my new jacket and score of a deal.  Possibly because the last thing I need is a new jacket?  Or in his words, "how much plastic ware do you need?" Ahhh, well I don't know that answer to that, yet. :)
