Pinterest Recreation

Happy November! Oh my goodness where has this year gone?! I hate that winter is finally here, but I'm excited for the upcoming holiday season :) 

I love finding outfits on Pinterest that I have all of the elements right in my closet to recreate it.  This was a mixture of 2 outfits I saw, but below was the inspiration.  (I added the belt from another picture I saw.)

Happy Halloween!!!

I get very into Halloween, I love dressing up and coming up with creative costumes.  This year, inspired by Pinterest I decided to be something scary instead of something cute.  Well, I still ended up going the cutesy route after the creepy makeup was done, but it was a far cry from my standard Halloween costume.  Then of course, I had to make Trey be something similar so we had a "couples costume".

What did you dress up as for Halloween this year? I'd love to see your costumes =)

Farewell Old Friend...

 Yesterday I said goodbye to my Eclipse =( It was a bittersweet day, it feels good to have her sold but I loved that car so much.  We've been through a lot together in the almost 7 years that I've had her.  Trips to Florida and Myrtle Beach, numerous drives to Cincinnati and Baltimore, we've even been stranded on the side of the highway together on a trip to Nashville that never happened due to a broken timing belt.  Anytime I was feeling down, all I had to do was hop in, put the top down and cruise around with some tunes and my thoughts till everything seemed right again.  

I feel like I'm closing out a chapter of my life, the Single, Party, Cruising around with the top down, blasting Britany Spears with my girlfriends Chapter, to open up my next Chapter: Wife and Mommy.  It's somewhat exciting to get to buy a new car, a somewhat larger car, one that will fit a car seat in the back, but I'm happy with the direction my life is going.  I'm a party girl at heart, so holding on to that car was something from my past that reminded me that I'm not old yet.  But at 28 years old, it's time to let go.  And maybe when my kids are grown, I'll get another convertible ;)

Neon Top-2 ways

I got this neon orange tank from Zara in NYC this summer.  I wore it once when the weather was still decent and thought that was the end of this tank till next summer.  Then, like any fashionista would, I found a way to remix it so I could wear it once the boots came out.

Late October + 77° = WHAT?!?!

It has been unseasonably warm this week here in Ohio and I am trying to take full advantage! Taking a few more breaks during the day to go sit outside with the smokers just so I can enjoy the sunshine, and of course finding a bar with a patio for Happy Hour ;) So I made it a point to take my outfit pictures outside today.  I love summer, but there is just something about those red and yellow leaves that make my heart happy.  I am jealous of Floridians most of the time, but on the right day, with those gorgeous leaves, it makes living in Ohio not so bad...

Don't forget to take a minute to follow my blog over here ------>

Splurge VS. Save

For this splurge vs. save piece, I went with these rhinestone bracelets that have 3 different price points.  Can you guess which is the most expensive? And which is the best deal?

The one to the far left is actually the most expensive, $68 from J. Crew.  The upper and lower ones are between $25-$30.  And the one in the middle to the far right is the least expensive {and possibly even my favorite!} for $6.80 at Forever 21.  I’m a huge fan of bracelet stacking, and I’d love the look of this paired with a rose gold watch.

Necklace Wall

I got somewhat creative the other day (Also I was just frustrated with running out of room for all my necklaces, along with them constantly being a tangled mess) and put some nails in my closet wall to hang some of my necklaces.  (My landlord is going to be pissed!)  I later saw the cutest necklace hanger on Pink Peonies blog, but maybe that will be my next project {to cover all the holes I put in the wall already}

After all the banging-I'm sure my neighbors were loving me! 

Finished Project =)

{Not sure why it looks somewhat crooked?! I used a level and everything!}

Maxi & Boots

I've never really thought of a maxi skirt as a fall piece, but why not? It covers your legs and paired with boots, it's a perfect little fall ensemble.  I'm getting really into using dresses to make different outfits lately, {i.e. using the bottom as a skirt, or the top as a shirt} So that is what I did here.  The striped top is actually a striped dress.  I'm loving this concept! Instantly turned my wardrobe of 100 dresses into 200 new pieces!

Crochet Vest

This is sort of a plain outfit, but the addition of the crochet vest gave it a bit of dimension.  It was all about being comfy today.
