Down On the Farm

Our weather has been a little crazy the past few days (nice one minute, then raining, or snowing the next!), so between that, and our busy schedules, it’s been a little hard to coordinate for blog photos this week. So yesterday after work, J and I decided to meet at a beautiful historic farm pretty close to our house.  And even though it was freezing cold while we were shooting, I loved the location and can’t wait to shoot more photos there-even if we did get chased down by some whopping big snow geese!

And do you know what else I am loving? The simplicity of today’s outfit.  Black and white is all the rage this season, and I love it paired back to simple chambray, nude pumps, and a bold lip.  Another one of those looks that is so easy to put together, but makes you looked you really put some effort in!

Panama

I love a good hat.  And while I have been really into fedora’s the last couple of years, I think that this year, the Panama hat might just be my new favorite.  But since I am a firm believer that a gal can never have too many hats in her wardrobe, there will be plenty of room for both in mine this season. Not only are hats an ideal statement piece, but they are the perfect secret weapon for combating those less than stellar hair days…

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend.  The weather here has been so amazing (it was 67 on Sunday!!) that I officially have spring fever.  And even though I hope to sneak in a few more days on the slopes, I say bring on the warm weather!

Happy Monday!

Happy Friday, dolls!  Thought I would leave you today with a few things that I am hoping to add to my Spring wardrobe.  And the best part?  Everything is under $100 (except the tote).  I don’t know about you all, but I think my spring fever has officially set in!

Vest Friend

This vest has been my best friend lately and on constant rotation in my closet.  Not only is it the ideal outfit completer, but vests are the perfect transitional piece for this time of year.  And how about these Michael Kors shoes?  I am OBSESSED!  Not only are they super cute, but they just might be the comfiest pair of shoes in my closet right now…

Mixology

It’s no secret that I love camo.  And leopard.  And stripes.  And distressed denim.  Oh, and of course yellow.  So why not mix them all together?  Obviously!!  Mixing all of your favorite things into one outfit isn’t just for little kids anymore-it’s called fashion!!!

Mustard

In my book, navy and mustard is a pretty tried and true color combination-no matter the season, no matter the trend.  And I am loving the playful look of pairing a more formal top and jacket with ripped up, light wash jeans, and nude pumps.  It’s unexpected, yet somehow still classic…

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  Thank you so much for stopping by!

Neon Mono

I love a good monochromatic combination.  And while my instinct is usually to use neutrals for monochromatic looks, this necklace/sweater combo has convinced me that it works really well with with color (especially neon!) too!!

Hope you are all having a great week so far!  I am in Wyoming on a work trip braving the severe cold.  Kind of a shock to the system after 10 days in Nicaragua and spring-like temps in the SLC!  Brrrrrrrr….

ModCloth and All Dolled Up

Mod Cloth Evening of Extravagance Dress
 
I am so excited to be teaming up with ModCloth today as a part of their Polyvore outfit challenge!  If you are familiar with ModCloth, then you will know why I was so thrilled when they contacted me.  And if you aren’t familiar with this fantastic online retailer, then run (don’t walk!) to their website.  NOW!  Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
And with that, today I am bringing you my first challenge.  And that was to style the beautiful Evening of Extravagance Dress.  And I have to say, with Valentine’s day just around the corner, I couldn’t help but be inspired to pair it back to red and leopard.  Awfully fitting, don’t you think?
You can shop my look through the links above, or create your own at ModCloth!
Happy Thursday Dolls!
 

In-vest-ed

There was a period in time that I wore this denim vest so much that I had to make a conscious effort not to wear it so often. And I did such a good job of avoiding it that it ended up buried in the back of my closet and forgotten about for a period of time. And so today, I couldn’t be happier to welcome it back to the rotation!  To me, there is just something about a vest (whether it be denim, down, leather, fur, etc.), that just adds that extra pop to any outfit.   It’s just tough to beat those pieces in your wardrobe that make you look like you put in a little extra effort when you really actually didn’t…

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend.  I was lucky enough that one of my very best friends came to the SLC to visit me.  And let me tell you, we had the most amazing time.  From shopping, to manicures, to eyelash extensions,  to fun dinners out on the town, and even a little Sundance Film Festival action, it will be a weekend that I will always fondly remember.  Sometimes there just isn’t anything better than girl time.

And if you don’t already, be sure to follow along Instagram to catch all of my fashion (and real life) adventures!

Happy Monday!
