San Francisco - (1 of 3)

 What I'm Wearing: Jacket-Anthropologie, Blouse-J.Crew, Pants-H&M, Boots- Charles David, Backpack - Vera Bradley

TT was so happy to be in San Fran during for a clutch baseball series.  The Giants are headed to the World Series, and he couldn't be happier.  It was so much fun to be in the city where all of the celebrations were happening, people were yelling, cars were honking, and the celebrations went through the night.  So fun!

We had fabulous meals, unbelievable shopping, walking, snacking, watching baseball, playing golf at Harding Park Course, meeting some of my Dad's friends, trolley riding, sight seeing, getting wet from the rain, celebrating the Giants win to put them into the World Series, A T & T Park, Union Square, Chancellor Hotel, The Bridge, and more details later.  

Lots more pics, thank you mom and dad for a wonderful trip! We had so much fun! And thank you to TT's parents for so kindly watching Crew and taking such great care of him, and for getting him new toys!  We have the best parents!

Spring Break

What I'm Wearing:

striped shirt: J.Crew (seen here)

skinny jeans: J Brand (seen here)

brogues: Steven by Steve Madden

Jacket: Prana (seen here)

 

I'm back! Why I thought I would get the chance to plan outfits and  take pictures of them during Spring Break is so silly.  It didn't even happen once.  But I did get the chance to actually inventory my closet and see what else needs to be ousted in our spring cleaning effort.  As you can see the deck is also on our list of things to take spring clean/care of. TT started sanding it down this last week, and we're getting ready to stain it sometime soon.  I am having visions of this beautiful deck that is perfect for hosting BBQs and summer parties...    Anyway, it was so nice to be school-less this past week.  We even got the chance to get away for a few nights up to Park City and Midway, a great break!  

My favorite lunch date!

 What I'm Wearing:

Shirt and Grey sweater/shirt: Gap (also worn here)

Jeans: Joe's skinnies (also worn here)

Shoes: Merona, Target

Coat: Prana *I'm in love*

Every week my dad and I meet for a quick lunch hour filled with good food and even better conversation.  I love catching up with him, and love sharing a delicious Italian Muffelata and Cacciatore from this fabulous Italian Cafe.  I love it!  This jacket is new and by prana.  Prana has amazing athletic clothing, and this jacket is superb for the weather in Salt Lake right now.  It's light, and comfortable, and super cute!  TT had a ward ball game tonight. Man those get intense and are so much fun to watch.  I met up with an old friend I've known since first grade for sushi tonight at Tsunami.  I love catching up with old friends and leaving feeling like you've been best friends your whole lives.  Hope everyone had a great Thursday. 

AWESOME giveaway here tomorrow!

Sneakers!

I love sneakers.  All types of sneakers.  And the best thing about a casual Friday night?  I can wear my grungiest of sneaks and it's acceptable.  This isn't what I wore to work today, but is definitely what I wore on our Friday night around town.  Perfect for running all of our little errands, and ending the night at a newish frozen yogurt joint where we stayed until they closed and asked us to leave.  Good times.

What I'm wearing:

Sweater: Anthropologie (also worn here)

Shirt: striped and one of my all time favorites, Anthropologie

Jeans: 7 for all Mankind (also worn here)

Shoes: sneaks!

Also, met up with Elaine after work for a bit.  Did some wonderful window shopping/ mostly talking about something we're getting SUPER excited about.  And, she brought this special sewing project to my attention, which I'll be working on later this afternoon.  Thanks for the heads up Elaine!  You should check out her latest giveaway too.  Going fabric shopping with my mom this afternoon.  This beautiful babe turns one in like a week.  I need to get her a present, and want it to be her favorite present, so I'm the cool aunt.  Ya know?  Any suggestions on what to get a one year old? Thanks for reading!

Shoe Smart

These are the shoe I originally picked out for my wedding dress.  I wore them for my engagements, and my feet nearly broke off.  So I ended up wearing different ones on the actual day.  They're beautiful.

They don't look that high here, but I promise they are ginormous.  

TT on his way to the gym.  Wondering why I'm using a tripod instead of him.  

Now's he just wants to be in the picture.

I was smart enough to change my shoes before I even left the house.  Hope you had a fantastic Thursday!

Over the Shoulder

My purple thoughts: I'm not a usually drawn to purple or to shirts like this, but I didn't pick it out!  It was a gift, and I LOVE it!  It's another top by Nikita, loving my pieces from that brand.  It was just what I needed to wear today too.  It was a long day of school, work, and tests, so as always it was nice to be comfortable.  I want more tops like this! I would love this same top in black.  Do you have any suggestions on another way I could wear this top? Perhaps to dress it up a bit?

A lovely wide, and comfortable scarf by DownEast. 

What I'm wearing:

T: Shade

Top: Nikita, gifted :)

Jeans: Seven for all Mankind, Roxanne Skinnies

Shoes: Skechers SOHO

Confession: last week I went mall walking with my mom and last night I went to water aerobics at my gym and....LOVED IT.  It kicked my butt.  It actually kicked my arms.  Its fun because I TT's mom goes pretty frequently and so does my friend from work.  It's basically a party in the water.  Anybody else do it?

The Weekend In a Skinny

Friday night:  TT and I went out for sushi, and by sushi I mean I went out for sushi and he got chicken.  But nonetheless, it was so so so good.  Mikado is probably one of my favorite, like top three restaurants of choice.   When my sushi came out, the waiter looked at it, and said, "Oh, umm you didn't order the On Death roll did you?" Definitely not.  Just the normal veggie tempura, and playboy roll.  He says, "Oh, okay well this roll to the right is on us."  Excuse me, the "On Death" roll is on you guys?  Thanks.  TT ended up trying it first, I mean we may as well try it, and he said it wasn't bad. That was a lie.  We didn't finish that roll...not even close.  Saturday we woke up earlyish took Crew running, and spring cleaned.  I felt like Danny Tanner from Full House because I was enjoying it a little too much.  But we're clean now!  We even took down the Christmas lights.  We met my parents and brother and gf for dinner at Market Street.  Another delicious meal. 

Yep.  I wore these pants both Friday and Saturday night.  They're just so comfortable.  I love them more and more every day. 

Random question: Is anyone doing or done P90X?  Just curious, I love workout videos, and I keep hearing P90 P90 P90 - is it good? Is it worth the money?  If it's worth it, I may just want to try it!

My Valentine Loves

My Valentine Loves: My husband, my family, and even Crew.  (and maybe my skinnys) 

Last night was we went out for Thai food at one of my favorites, Sawadee. I wanted to be comfortable since we were going to be eating, then shopping, and a movie.  This definitely was the outfit for me.  It was so comfortable.  It didn't require any sucking in after dinner (I'm just being honest).  Can I just say yellow curry and pad thai are some of my favorite foods?  We saw Valentine's Day in a crowded theater and enjoyed it. We're really not harsh movie critics.  What did you do this weekend? Have a movie recommendation for us? We're always up for watching new and old movies, and I need some suggestions!

What I'm Wearing:

Coat: Hurley, a gift from Disneyland (also worn here)

Shirt: Old Navy Denim

Belt: F21, new and only $3.50

Jeans: J. Brand (also worn here)

Shoes: Jessica Simpson (also worn here)
Purse: gifted from TT (also worn here)

 President's Day tomorrow! Yes! No school!  I can't even tell you how happy this makes me.  Now I can catch up on some homework cleaning laundry shopping.

Those Navy Blues

Yay for my skinnies! I love that I want to wear them every day!But, I'm going to be honest, I don't think they make me look so "skinny" here.  Edit: I'm not complaining, but seriously.  Well I cut almost 9 inches off my hair yesterday and I think I may cut more.   What do you think would look better - keeping the style the way it is (slightly layered) and or should I go back and thin it out on the bottom for more of an A-line? Seriously, please give me your advice.  I need to start faithfully working out.  I have always been so dedicated, until I got married and had school and work and blogging (yes it takes time!).  I REALLY need to fit in a time for working out.  I love to do WORKOUT VIDEOS.I also love love love to run, but since it still gets dark early it's not an option for me.  I don't like running in the dark, something about it creeps me out.  The last time I went at night, I ran so freakin' fast because I kept scaring myself.

What I'm Wearing:

Jacket: Anthropologie (also worn here)

T: Shade

Skinnys: J. Brand (also worn here)

Shoes: really worn leather ballet flats that aren't really comfortable

So should I shape it into an A-line? Should I thin out the ends? Should I cut more off?  I don't know, but I do know I'm not perfectly happy with it now.  Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it!

The Jazz Kitchen

So our first night at Disney we ate at this fabulous restaurant called the Jazz Kitchen.  It serves incredible Southern food inside a beautiful Southern-Like mansion.  We ate so many good dishes, and my favorite may have been the dish called "dirty rice".  Yum! Ever had it? It was so fun reading what all of you guys love about Disneyland, and what makes you happy! Thanks for sharing!  We truly had such a great time, and it was so wonderful to be with the family on a quick trip.  TT hadn't been to Disneyland since he was four years old, and the best part was possibly seeing him soak up the Disney spirit.  Cheesy? Not at all, it's real!

What I'm wearing:

Plaid Top: Macy's New York (also worn here)

Belt: from TT's collection of belts I've recently discovered and will wear

Pants: J. Brand (also worn here)

Shoes: gifted from TT (also worn here) *I promise I have more shoes than these, I'm just really loving these*

Purse: gifted from TT (also worn here)

TT and Me enjoying the weather  translation: shamelessly people watching

We walked so much I feared that my feet were going to fall off.  For those who love and cherish the rides at Disney like I do, thank you for letting me in on what you love about Disney!  Sometimes it's hard coming back from a trip and jumping back into your everyday school and work and taking care of business (everyday!!) agreed? I hope everyone has a great week!

Give me the skinny on them jeans

Feeling better today!  The nose dripping and eye watering has successfully moved over to the right eye/nostril.  Maybe tomorrow it will just move out all together?  I'm so excited... Disneyland tomorrow.  What ride to do first? More importantly, what food to eat first?  Mine may just have to be a giant pickle, and Indiana Jones, or Peter Pan, or Space Mountain, forget it I can't decide.   My mom has this awesome book called "How to Live Like A Lady" and it has the perfect packing list for a "Quick Weekend Getaway" which is exactly what this trip is.  Finally, some direction on how to pack!  Usually I can't decide and end up taking a ginorm bag for two nights and I hardly use anything in it! 

What I'm wearing:

Blouse: Anthropologie (also worn here)

Sweater: Zara (also worn here)

Skinnys: J Brand YAY!!!

Shoes: gifted from TT (also worn here)

I can already tell I'm going to wear and wear and wear these pants to their death.  I am in love with them.  They are the perfect mix between denim and leggings.  Which for me is more denim.  What's your favorite thing to do at Disneyland? Or do you hate Disneyland (is that even an option??) I want to know!
