If You Mention It, They Will Come

So remember two posts ago when I asked for opinions regarding white jeans?  Well Miss Neira sent me an awesome link to some killer white jean/leggings she found (which I so appreciate and loved her pick), and my sister called me and said I could have HAVE her pair as she no longer wants them.  They're so cute though I could never allow myself to keep them for good, so I'm just going to borrow them... for a really long time. 

What I'm wearing:
Orange Shirt: Anthropoglogie - unfortunately the beautiful detail is hidden under the sweater
Grey Sweater: Zara
White Jeans: Stitch - borrowed from my sis for an extended period of time.
Necklace: Nordstrom
Shoes: Skechers Soho (if you think that's strange, I do too)

the necklace means "long life"
So, yes or no to these white jeans? I think they have more potential than this.  

Tonight after work TT and I met up with my older brother and his gf and the twins for dinner at an awesome local Japanese restaurant.  TT's brother works there and hooked us up with our own private set up away from all the crowded/loud tables.  Among everything else I ate we, I branched out and tried the Spider  Roll.  What's your favorite sushi roll? I'm ready to try new rolls, but I'm always hesitant to and instead stick with my favorite!

If you're ever in Utah, check this local favorite out! Oh, and I  made a small purchase today.  Can't wait to show you! Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!

Layer Town USA


 Layer 1
My wonderful dad gave me his four tickets to the Jazz game tonight, and what an awesome game to go to!  In case you're wondering they won by 1 point thanks to a buzzer beater!!  Great game.  On a more important note...
What I'm wearing:
1st Layer: G Star Raw black sweater
2nd Layer: G Star Raw black jacket
3rd Layer: Brown puff coat from Gap
------
Skinny Jeans: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: Flats, gifted from TT
Graphic T: Ben Sherman, London

Layer 2

Layer 3
Looking at these pictures, I feel a little cheesy for all the smiles, however it was a fun night!  This is also the first time I've worn my hair half up, and for some reason I really just don't like the way it falls on me.  I guess my options are all up or all down.

I love my two G Star pieces, and I wanted to incorporate them a little differently than pictured here.  Any suggestions?  I'm thinking maybe dark jeans/leggings and boots? I don't know.

Hope everyone had a wonderful day!  Thank you for dropping by!!

Black To School


There is nothing super stylish or up-to-date-with-current-fashion about this outfit.  It's just black.   Sometimes when I'm not really sure of what to wear it's really easy for me to grab black.  Why is that? 

I wanted to add a little color, and instead of choosing a big necklace, I chose the belt.  Maybe I could've done both.  The shoes I personally love.  They are BCBG, purchased about 6 months ago, and this is the 2nd time I've worn them! That's a direct correlation with the height of the shoes.

And also, I'd like to welcome home my little big twin brothers who have recently returned from their missions!  Daniel served in Taiwan and Stephen in Mexico City.  It's been two years since I've seen them! Welcome Home!

On an opposite note:  I want some white jeans.  You might think that's the worst idea ever, but I want some.  I don't have any, and so often I see them worn so fashionably!  Any suggestions where I might get some?


Hope everyone had a wonderfully fresh day!

Buttoned or Unbuttoned? That is the question.


I don't really know what to say here, other than this was a very comfortable outfit to wear to school.  As much as I love heels, I love comfort even more!  I have even considered getting some Privos to wear at work!  Between class and work today, TT and I grabbed a bite to eat at one of the local favorites in Salt Lake for Mexican food.  The only downfall to eating Mexican -- I always feel like I gained an instant 5lbs. I hate the bloat. That's honesty.

What do you think? Buttoned or unbuttoned?  This was a super-layered outfit, and normally I just wear that silk shirt on its own.  The cold weather has forced the layers out of me.  See that ginormous piece of fabric hanging over the post?  That's my purple coat from H&M.  I wish it was somehow reversible because I love the inside too!
What I'm wearing:
Silk printed shirt: Anthropologie
Cardigan: Anthropologie
Jeans: Seven For All Mankind (first time I've ever worn them with flats...it was tough)
Shoes: Nordstrom Rack - Christmas present from TT. Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised.

I buttoned and unbuttoned my sweater probably five times throughout the day, I couldn't decide which looked better (more flattering).  I think I decided to leave it unbuttoned.  Maybe I should save the shirt for a more dressy outfit?

Thanks for reading Fresh!

Taste the Rainbow


Yep, those are my bare, white, cold legs.  But if you were me, what color of tights could you have paired with the rest of this outfit?  Seriously though!  My only option was a dark red.  I need some colored tights!

TT got me this purse for Christmas!  I just love it.  I love the long strap on it.

The belt was a find! I just got it Saturday for $9.

What I'm wearing:
Coat: H&M
Skirt: Anthropologie
Shirt: Anthropologie
Shoes: Jessica Simpson
Belt: random find

Well, how would you have worn this better?  Would you wear tights? I honestly would have but I didn't have the slightest idea as to color.  I don't own nude tights, am I supposed to?

Where have all the bangs gone?

Congrats to Leproust Vintage for winning the giveaway of OPI "Sheer" Your Toys and Tweezerman Tweezers!  Thanks everyone for entering! 

That's right folks!  For those of you who have been hanging out in bang land like me, you can share in my joy that my bangs are now long enough to pin back!  Don't get me wrong, I actually like my bangs, but now I have options!  TT and I went out tonight, and ate at one of our favorite restaurants in Sugarhouse.


What I'm wearing:
Jeans: Joe's skinny jeans -
Shirt: stem - I love the fit
Vest: Stella McCartney for Adidas - I don't like puff vests (that much), but this vest I like
Gloves: gift from sister last Christmas, Urban Outfitters I believe
Boots: Sorel

What did I tell you, we love The North Face for all our "keeping really warm" needs!

I'd like to be able to dress this vest up a little more! Do you have any suggestions on what to pair it with?  How would you wear it?

Cabin Fever

I'm just going to come out and say it from the beginning. TT loves camo.  It used to bug me a little bit okay a lot a bit, that my husband wanted camo everything.  I thought it was ugly and red neck.  And why would we want to be red neck?  Somewhere along the lines (I'll admit) I've embraced the camo.  I think he looks good in it.  I don't know when this happened, and it kind of bugs me that I think it.  With that being said, you can hate the camo if you want.  You even have my permission.

Disclaimer: I'm not claiming to be stylish/ cute in these pictures, just very very warm!  If I'm cold, I'm not happy.  Anyway, today we went sledding and this is what I wore.  I realize it was only sledding, but still, I'm telling you what I wear for an activity like this.
Ear warmer: Lacoste
Hat & Scarf all in one: Puma (found this in Prague, love the Euro feel it has to it.)
Coat: North Face - My favorite coat-making company
Gloves: stolen from sister's closet in 8th grade, vintage?

 
Life is Beautiful...especially in Utah.

CAMO!!!!!!!! (side note-without his jacket on he really did blend into the woods)

Crew.  He saw something.  Probably a snowflake.
What keeps me warm underneath:
Shirt: made by FALKE
A German brand that makes incredibly warm athletic clothing
Pants (Underneath the ones shown): FALKE


I loved this little weekend getaway.  It was filled with food, sleeping, staying up late, wii playing, sledding, playing with Crew, sliding on an ice pond, and good conversation.  Hope everyone else had a fabulous weekend!!

What do you wear to stay warm?  What are your favorite pieces?  How do you look cute when you're all bundled up?  Tell me, teach me!
