In the Nude

May 13, 2013

Dress: Gifted, Heels: Kimichi Blue, Belt: Target, Necklace: Diament Designs

Other than all black from head to toe, I think this is the first monochromatic look I've ever tried to pull off. I like it. I wore this yesterday to celebrate Mother's day and really wanted to feel dressed up to hang out with my mom. I kept teasing Chris asking him if I was getting anything for mother's day (even though I'm not a real mom) from our cat Scar. Hey I lost sleep when he was a baby and had to bottle feed him every so many hours..that counts for something right? But for real, I hope every one enjoyed spending time with your mothers and family. I had a relaxing weekend as expected but now that it's Monday, my birthday week officially starts. I have to thank Chris for getting me into birthday weeks...everything my way all week, I'm going to be a happy girl.

Oh and that star tattoo, my niece's wanted to put one on me at breakfast so I just went along with it.
I may not be a mom yet, but I'm a good aunt.
Happy Monday!

The Golden E

May 10, 2013

Blouse: Thrifted American Eagle, Jeans, F21, Heels: Kimichi Blue, Necklace: Diament Designs

For the first time in awhile, I feel like I'm going to actually have a free weekend. No parties, no going out, no concerts, just mother's day...but that should be relaxing. Hopefully while relaxing I'll try to figure out what I'm going to do for my birthday. It's next week!!

I've been shopping a lot lately...everything but the jeans in this outfit are new to my closet, but I'd have to say that this necklace is my new favorite thing. I used to have a name plate that I wore all the time that happens to be lost at the moment. Thankfully this gold "E" makes me just as happy.

What item in your closet is currently making you happy?

Hope you all enjoy the weekend!

DIY//Sequin Bikini Top

May 9, 2013

Last year when working retail I fell in love with a bikini that was in our store. It was neon green with silver sequins...only one problem. Yup, the price for it was enough to shatter my hopes of ever buying it and I never did. I knew it would be simple enough to recreate and what do you know, it really is. If you follow me on instagram, you probably already know that I've working on getting fit and eating healthy. My mind is set to get myself into an itty bitty bikin without wearing a cover up. The next time I go to the beach I'll be wearing this one for sure.
