Clown Shoes


So, here's my reasoning for the slowness of getting this post up. We actually took photos of this outfit twice. I didn't like any of the first photos, the lighting was just bad and I found most of them unusable so we took more photos tonight after work. I'm happy to say these ones turned out much better!


I titled this post "clown shoes" because my Hubby often laughs at my wild taste in shoes, calling them "clown shoes". These are by far the craziest shoes I own (so far) but he surprisingly wasn't too opposed to these (possibly because I got them for free with my frequent shopper punch card). I love the funky shape of the heel and the mustard makes them stand out even more! I chose these over red, beige, or black because the other colors were too subtle for the shape and, well, it's about time I own a pair of yellow shoes!




(THIS ^ is my "I'm ecstatic with my love for these shoes!" pose)


This skirt is so gorgeous, right? I love the vintage floral look. I knew it had to be mine immediately. It's just so...ME. Oh, and they're kind of hard to see, but these earrings are my favorite steal! I usually don't wear anything by studs, but I couldn't resist these beauties for $2!!





P.S. I'm feeling SUPER lucky today! I won two giveaways and have a couple gift cards to spend! Yay!!

Twinkle Toes



Happy Friday! This week has flown by!! I can't complain though. No big plans this weekend, but it's nice to just relax and enjoy life. We got the fun out of the way last night seeing Iron & Wine live! He is just INCREDIBLE live and I enjoyed every song! Salt Lake City Art Council hosts a concert series in the Summer every year and it's only $5 to get in. They usually have some pretty great bands playing too! Last year we got to see Bright Eyes and I think we'll head back next Thursday to see M. Ward (the HIM in She & Him) Too bad Zooey won't be with him...I think I'd DIE!



Anyway, let me introduce you to my new favorite pair of shoes! And my newest dress. I snagged these babies at Ross! They're Steve Madden, which I love and I've been wanting to try the slipper shoe, so why not one with some sparkle!? They're also incredibly comfortable which is why they've been a fast favorite. I don't think I've taken them off the last couple days since I bought them!
The dress is from Target. I saw it last week and when I came back to buy it there was literally one left in my size! Only like 3 left altogether. Green + Lace = Happy Jessi!




Me and the Hubby are headed off for date night at the movies now. We're going to see Rock Of Ages at the local $3 theater. Hope it's not TOO cheesy! Ha. If so, only $3 wasted, right?

Inspiration Monday: Red Lips & Lace


Here I am typing up this post during the last few minutes of Monday. Haha. I always was a procrastinator..
But there was no way I was passing on this week's Inspiration Monday over at Two Birds! When I first saw this photo of Jessica Biel I knew I was in. She looks smokin' and the outfit is totally something I'd wear. And besides, red lips and bangs are totally my thing!



I had a few ideas for replicating Jessica's style but this pale pink lacey dress is what I ended up going with. The lace is my favorite part of her look!
I have nothing glittery/sparkly as far as tops go anyway, so I left that to my shoes! You might remember them from this post.



Well, that's my short post for the day! Be sure to check out what other girls did with the inspiration photo here.

Umbrella Romance


So... I've now procrastinated this post for nearly a week. So shameful. Oh well, it's up now, right?! I've been busy cramming fun into the last of Summer! This week we've seen a couple movies, shopped, visited a local craft fair, and stayed up late playing games and catching up with family.


We have some fun plans coming up too, a couple concerts to see, and a day spent at the water park. I'm trying to soak up all the sun I can before Summer turns to Fall (which I love) and Fall turns to Winter (which I dread). Anybody else getting anxiety about Winter being just around the corner?



So this dress...oh this dress!! When I first beheld its beauty while browsing online it was love at first sight! The color, the lace, the dotted tulle...sigh.. It's just so perfectly romantic. I HAD to have it. They were out of my size so I took a risk and ordered the next size up. It was WAY too big so I waited patiently for a restock and much to my surprise and excitement it was quickly restocked a week later! I didn't hesitate to exchange it immediately.


(so ya, don't ask what I'm doing in the above right pic. Cuz I don't know....just being awkward....)



Oh and the shoes are new too, it is me after all! I couldn't resist these pale pink and cream oxfords. I can never resist a great pair of oxfords....or pink.....
The umbrella is my beloved souvenir from Disneyland! We went last Summer and I loved the ruffled edges and hand painted flowers. They customize it with your name too.



Well, enjoy your Sunday, lovelies!
 I'll most likely be posting again tomorrow for Inspiration Monday. It's a GOOD one!

Inspiration Monday & A Car Show


Hi again, lovely people! I had so much fun participating in Inspiration Monday at Two Birds last week, that I decided to join in the fun again this week! The inspiration photo is the above one of Katie Holmes and this is what I came up with:

?
I don't own a chambray dress..or anything close to it. In fact, the only thing chambray I own is this top, so I went with it!



Going to local car shows is a favorite summer activity for the Hubs and I. They have a HUGE car show in our city every August and it just happened to be today! I actually didn't know it was going on until a couple hours prior so I'm really glad we were able to go! My hubby is a MAJOR car junkie :)


I was pretty much obsessed with this pale pink '58 Oldsmobile. It's just so perfect and darling.



Hope everyone had at least a tolerable Monday. Ha. I was definitely dragging today (as you can probably tell by whatever odd face I'm making in the above pic). Hope I wake up more refreshed tomorrow!

Chambray Top - H&M
Belt - Vintage

Inspiration Monday: Hot Red


So this Monday I'm finally playing along over at Two Birds! Wahoo, a post two days in a row! Every week Megan and Nora choose a new photo as inspiration and each Monday they do a link-up party and see what everyone comes up with! I've just been lurking until now but I decided it's time a join in. This week's inspiration was the above photo of Ashlee Simpson.


I think her shorts are technically orange, but since I own no orange pants, nor leather pants for that matter.. I decided to go with my red hot paper bag style pants! It came together pretty effortless and chic, which is what I love about Ashlee's ensemble.
