Anchors Aweigh

Quick story. Awhile back I saw the dress in the J.Crew window. It was love at first sight. It was SO boaty! How could I not own it?!?! I ran inside to find it was $98. For a tunic dress. Ya. That's a bit pricey...

So I waited like a month. Price I paid this week? $23.79

WINNING!!!!

Purse & Shoes

I've been the worst blogger lately. I'm terrible. I apologize. But in some news I went to the Nordstrom triple points thing lasts week. And bought myself a prezzie. I've been so good at not buying anything lately. I gave in. But I just bought these two things, so I feel I did pretty good.

Originally I thought I'd have to take them back. I was terribly distressed. But then a lucky, splendid thing happened to me...

What splendid thing happened you ask?
Check back and see....

Shoes By BP. Shoes.

Best Dressed

I give you my best dressed pick for the Oscars:

Five Friday Faves-Winter Edition

Yes, its true I'm not a huge fan of snow/cold/winter. But since we finally had snow last week (And I realize how important snow is to UT for so many different reasons...) I present to you my Five Friday Faves, Winter Edition.

Fave Winter Accessory:

Scarves. All kinds! As long as they are soft. I always check a scarf for softness before purchase.

Fave Winter Spot:

Um yeah. Who wouldn't want to cuddle up on this porch with a hot chocolate and an even hotter boy? I feel like a deer could just wander up and take a snack from your hand.

Fave Cute Winter Thing:

I'm a big fan of the word "smitten".


Second Fave Cute Winter Thing:
Snowmans in love. So cute.

Fave Winter Pic:

Okay, to be honest I have no clue if this pic was even taken in winter, or of that's snow, but its to die for. Clearly my romantical side has started to come out.
(Don't worry my cynical, bitter, angry side will return soon I'm sure)

And a bonus, LOVE this song: Ingrid Michaelson -Men of Snow

Happy Snow Days Everybody. Enjoy it while it lasts.

A Minor Slip Up...

Okay, okay I had a minor slip up in my life plan and kinda went shopping. Just a little though! I've curbed my problem a lot, but sometimes I slip and buy a few things. Don't hate. I've been so good and these are beyond cute!
(This pics do not do my new pretties justice!)


Gibson Riding Jacket- I LOVE this blazer so much! It screams Kate Middleton, and it fits perfectly! Plus I got it at the rack so it was a steal! 60% off! I plan on wearing in with everything.

Soprano Dress- I have absolutely no idea where I will wear this dress, but I will save it for the perfect occasion, and wear it then. I love it. It fits like a dream. The only difference is I got it in a fantastic steel gray color.

No more shopping for me this month!

Oh The Weather Outside Is Weather

Well friends, it happened. We finally got snow! Now, as you know I hate snow. But, winter has felt a little awkward this year without it. It came and went slowly and will probably be all melted by 5:00 today, but it did happen.
Yesterday, Mayra and I went on a little freezing, snowy venture to the Gateway where we bought these awesome hats:

Mayra went a little more snowboard fashion (I picked it out) and I opted to go a little more woodland creature.
We also did about a 4 minute walk around temple square before they shut the lights out on us. Wah wah.

Remember how I've been searching for Eggplant colored jeans? You don't? Well I have been. So far I've only been able to find them at Nordstrom and they were $160. That's a lot for purple jeans. Well last night I finally found some! At...wait for it...Pac Sun. Random, I know. but they fit just as well if not better then the Nordstrom ones, and were way more reasonably priced! I also have to say the Pac Sun staff provided some of the best customer service I have experienced in a LONG time. Every person there was friendly and helpful. Even though it was late and I'm sure they'd had a long day. So big ups to Pac Sun!
*We also bought out hats there. Just in case you cared.

Five Friday Faves-Travel Edition

Now that I work in travel, I get to look at pics of all the fun places other people get to go. So here are a few places I am dying to go to:

Hollywood
I LOVE LA. I know I'm in the minority, but I do. I miss this place like crazy. The food, beaches, warm weather, fashion...and of course the celebs. Le sigh.

Paris.
I will go to Paris one day. I will see all the fashion houses & the Eiffel tower. I will eat pastries. I will kiss a dirty French boy. Done and done.

Cape Town, South Africa.
Since I read Cry The Beloved Country in high school I have wanted to visit South Africa. I will go on a safari and see a lion in the wild before I die.

New York.
Its been almost 12 years now since I've been to the Big Apple. I think its high time I make the trip again. (Seeing as I know like 20 people that live there you would think I'd take advantage of this...)

San Francisco
One of my greatest loves. I miss the fog and trolley cars so much, it physically hurts sometimes.

Happiness.

bubble baths
soft sweaters
mrazzy
james franco's huge smile
pedicures
gerber daises
people style watch
coconut
squirrels

Just wanted to share.

On To The Next

(Jen Candance and I on my last day)

My time at Nordstrom is dunzo. I gave it a really good go but after 6 months I gave my two weeks, and my last day was Saturday. Life is to short to be miserable at your job. I tried and tried and kept thinking it would get better, but it just didn't. There were parts I loved. (The customers, the friendships I made, talking fashion all day...) But unfortunately the negatives outweighed the positives. (The hours, the selfishness of certain co-workers, standing on your feet 8 hours a day...) Anywho I got a new job doing advertising and some office help. The pay is less, but happiness and time are things money can't buy. I've never felt a job defines you as a person. YOU define you as a person. And like I said, Life is to short to be miserable.

So, onto the next! Bigger and better things are still to come!

Fall Fashion Fun

Seeing as I'm trying really hard to get out of debt when it came to getting a few new items to update my wardrobe for fall I was extremely choosy. Here are my fave picks. I can't wait till I get to wear them!


Fereglicous Ryder Boots in Taupe. The boots originally came out last year in the "Fergie" brand, a more expensive line. They were around $200 and were made of leather so naturally, I didn't buy them. But this year the "Fergalicous" brand released them Not leather & much more affordable! Especially after I got them on sale!

I am obsessed with this cropped Bambi sweatshirt. I remember the first day I saw it I fell in love. To bad it cost $128!! For a sweatshirt! So sadly I put it back Well I waited and it went on sale! (plus my discount) I so love it.
I love a good stripy sweater and this one is so soft and comfy. And 100% cotton. Trust me. When buying shirts/sweaters cotton is the fabric to go with. Someday I'll explain why. Loves it. PS never Never NEVER under any circumstance buy rayon/acrylic. NEVER.
You've heard me mention Zella leggings before, but now just in time for fall they come in Brown! Yay! I can't wait to wear these bad boys.
I LOVE these. I have been searching for non leather tan girly combat boots since last year, And I finally found them. :)

Birthday

So as it turns out I went ahead and had a birthday. I turned 29. I am pleased to report that a had a splendid showing for my birthday lunch at The Dodo. Lunch was delish.



After Lunch Mayra and I got pedis the rolled over the RSL vs Vancouver game.
That was followed by a bit of bacon shakin' at Gracie's then even more bacon shakin' at a late night surprise dance party.

Thanks to all the sent Happy Birthday messages!!! XOXO

PS for those who noticed, yes< I did change outfits 3 times. Its not like I don't have plenty of clothes...

Obsessions

Hi.
I am OBSESSED with the dress from Rachel Roy's line for Macy's. This pic does not do it justice. It so cute. I'm so obsessed, I forked over the dough and bought it yesterday. Don't judge I needed a cute Birthday dress. Sometimes a girl deserves something nice!

I want pale pink jeans. I want! I want! I've seen them in every magazine, But it was this shot of Cameron Diaz that sold me. I have a khaki blazer I have a white burnout tee. I just need the damn pants. Thus far I cannot find a pair in SLC. The search continues...
These Stem v necks from Nordys are fantastic. So soft, and long in the back! They fit like a dream! Love Love LOVE!!


This oh so adorable $128 L.A.M.B. Bag hangs out on a display right next to my department at Nordys. And everyday it shouts: "Buy me Heidi! Buy me!" So far I've resisted. I don't know how much longer I can hold out.

Spring Things

5 things I'm totally obsessed with this spring. Get on board people. Get. On. Board.

Pippa Middleton.
This girl is amazing. She is completely hot, has fantastic hair and great style. I want Prince Harry to ditch Chelsea Davey and hook up with her so bad. I want her wardrobe. I'm telling you Pippa is the new Kate.

True Blood. But especially Ryan Kwanten on True Blood.
Homeboy is a fantastic actor. He steals the show almost ever episode. And the show is surprising good. Thanks to Netflix/Pinky I'm on board. I just finished season one last night, and I'm dying for season two to arrive! It really does hurt so good.
Chocolate Coconut Frappachino from Starbucks.
Chocolate plus coconut. I don't really need to go on. They had me at coconut.
Maroon Five+Adam Levine+No Clothes=Never Gonna Leave This Bed.
Adam Levine is beyond hot. If I wasn't already promised to James Franco, I'd being saving myself for Adam Levine. The video and song our awesome. Its my new ring tone.
Zella Leggings from Nordstrom.
This are the most fantastic leggings on the planet. My friend Alisha calls them "God's gift to woman." If I could figure out a way to incorporate them into every outfit everyday I would. They fit perfect. make your legs look great, and are beyond comfy.

Raw Couture Wrap Up

Because I am super lame and didn't take as many pics as I wish I would of from Raw Couture I stole some of my friends Alisa's. But hey. That is what friends are for.


This collection below won the 1st place award.

We had to wear this badges all day. Even though there was 0 security to stop us from doing anything.





This is my friend Emily's collection. it took 3rd place.

I always have to say something apparently.
LOVE this hat.
