BEST.DAY.EVER!

I am so excited right now. I came right home from Bella Ella Curvy to blog about this! I found the greatest thing today. CURVY COLORED SKINNY JEANS! I haven't been able to wear colored skinny jeans in a really long time because sure there are plenty of colored skinny jeans out there but they either are too small or they show every dent and all my cottage cheese. Even at my favorite place Bella Ella Curvy they have had some but every time I try them on they show every little dent on the back of my legs and my butt. Today I went in because it was buy one get one free leggings and I need some leggings that aren't black but I found something so much better! Skinny Jeans that fit, are flattering, and don't show my dents and cottage cheese. My husband will not be happy but they were on sale and they are a beautiful color. I wanted to by them in every color because they had burnt orange, mustard, and a bunch with polka-dots too! I haven't been this excited about an item of clothing in a long time.Oh then I got home to a cute cardigan I ordered a while ago and it is cute too! Good day!

See! Amazing right? Thank you Bella Ella Curvy! (Shirt from Target)

Sorry I apparently cant turn that way and take a picture but you had to see the backside.

Did I mention I got myself a new coat:) Target $40. Amazing deal and so many other cute ones. You have to have a cute coat for when you go to church or on dates.

Enjoy!

Casual Friday

I love casual Fridays. I love to either wear some sort of tee shirt and jeans or something school related so that I can show my school spirit! If you get a casual Friday like me then use it as a fun day to wear something different. If you don't work or don't get casual Friday use Saturday because sometimes it is just fun to wear one of your favorite old tee shirts or something. I wear concert tee shirts a lot because they are full of good memories! Casual Fridays are also good days to wear your way cute vans or toms, those go to comfortable shoes!

Today I just did a plain grey tee shirt and ignore how I look I went to the dentist and got some cavities filled so I don't feel to go so I didn't do much with myself this morning! Shirt from Target, Sweater from Norstrom, Jeans from Target, Toms from Norstrom.

Have a great weekend and Enjoy!

Wildlife Wednesdays

Apparently it's the cool thing to wear animal print on Wednesdays for wildlife Wednesdays if you are in junior high. Since I'm in junior high everyday I decided to join in. Even if you don't go to junior high you are welcome to do it too:)

There's my animal print shirt for ya. Shirt from H&M, cardigan from H&M, jeans from Target, and shoes from Burlington

Enjoy!

The Little Pink Box

Okay I am finally going to tell you about something I absolutely love! I always mean to talk about it but then I get busy or forget. Since I just got it in the mail a few minutes ago I thought I would share it with you while I am still all excited about it.

Have you ever heard of a Birchbox? If not I am going to tell you ALL about it. Birchbox is a little pink box you get in the mail every month! Its like getting a present every month even though I do pay for it. . . .I know it sounds weird but I will explain.. . .

I always know its gonna be a good day when I get this cute package in the mail!

Birchbox sends you a box of samples in the mail every month. You pay $10 a month and there is no contract so you can cancel whenever you want. I have been getting mine for at least 17 months but probably more and I don't plan on canceling anytime soon. The idea is that they want you to try the samples and then if you like something buy the full size version of it.

Everything about it is just so cute and I feel like it is definitely worth $10

When you sign up for Birchbox they have you fill out a profile that tells them what your hair, skin, and style is like. Each box is created unique to you. Because of my profile they know that I have crazy thick, course, curly hair so I get lots of fun hair products. They also know that I like perfume samples so I get one almost every month. It's great to get things you really want and will use.

It even comes boxed up all cute!

This is what I got today and I will definitely be using that shampoo and conditioner tonight! You can see I also got lip gloss, chapstick and perfume

How do you know what everything is and what to do with it? They tell you! They always send a card that explains what things are.

Of course there are times that I get things I know I wont use but I figure if I find one thing I like from each box then it is worth it to me. If there is stuff I wont use I give it away or I have a cute basket in my extra bathroom with stuff people can try or take when they use my bathroom (yes now you all want to come to my house right??). If you like trying new things then this is a great way to do it. There have been some amazing things in my box!

Here are some of my favorites. I couldn't get pictures of a lot of them because I used them all up and threw them away but here are a few to give you an idea.

This stuff is AMAZING! It is macadamia oil and it seems to do the same thing Moroccan oil does. It only takes a tiny amount so I have been using it for about 8 months and it is so good from my curly course hair.

More hair stuff that I love.

I use this chapstick and I don't know what I will do when it is gone. I guess I will actually have to by some because I don't know if I can live without it! I have had it for over a year though so it will probably be worth the prince when I have to buy it.

Okay this has to be the smartest thing ever. Why haven't I seen a mirror on all lip gloss? BEST. IDEA. EVER. Plus it is a nice tint and smells amazing.

My box of fun stuff I try out. On Saturdays or Sundays when I have extra time I pick something to try out.

A couple of other things I want to share about the boxes:

• Do you like expensive perfume but don't buy it because you are poor like me? Well with my Birchbox I get free samples of all the fancy stuff. I have about 10 different kinds that I switch between right now.
• If you aren't getting things you like you can change up your profile. After a year they also had me answer some questions about what I was liking and not liking about my box
• Have I mentioned how much I love Birchbox?:)

 Try it out and let me know what you think

Go to their website http://www.birchbox.com/ and check it out. They have great tutorials and ideas and they started a box for men too. . . Pretty sure my husband would never care about that but its a fun idea. . .

Enjoy!

Boots with the Fur. . .

At last its boot season! I have to say that summer is my favorite time of the year because I get to swim, wakeboard, and be in the sun. Most of all I don't have to work! Gotta love working in education! Although I do love summer it's not for the fashion. The BEST season for fashion is defiantly fall. There are so many fall fashions that I love but today it's just about the boots. 

I love boots! (not boots with fur but it made you curious right?) Since I'm in Utah there is snow and cold weather so I have to have a good pair of boots or two or three. . . You get the idea right? I used to always buy cheap boots because I can't afford to pay $100 or more for a pair of shoes. If you are like me that is a lot of money. It's tough to be a poor college student! Anyways. . . Last fall all of my cheap boots had holes or other problems and they weren't wearable. I was able to convince my husband that I would need some boots before it started to snow and he agreed that it would be better for me to buy a nice pair that would last so I headed to Nordstrom. I only had about $100 and in the shoe department at Nordstrom that's not much. Luckily there was a sale and I got some great boots for either $60 or $90 I can't remember. After I wore them I swore I would never go back to cheap boots. I couldn't believe the difference! Then later when it was near Christmas time my parents gave me some christmas money. Once again I headed to Nordstrom for another pair of boots. I found some Steven  Maddens for between $90 and $130. Again I learned nice quality boots are amazing! 

Wanna know the best part? I pulled them out to start wearing again and they still look and feel great on my feet. My cheap boots rarely lasted more then a season. 

Basically I am saying that if you struggle with boots like I did then save some money when you can and try some nice boots. You can also check Ross but I haven't been able to find good boots in my size yet. 

The other suggestion I have about boots is to get some simple ones that you can wear with everything. Usually I would say get the fun crazy ones but if you want nice ones to wear for a few years don't get crazy trendy boots like boots with the fur (See what I did there? Making good use of my title) because by the next year who knows what will be in style. 

Here are the boots I got last year that are still in great shape!

Sorry the pictures aren't great because I wasn't planning on posting about boots so this is just a picture I took for the outfit.
