Feeling . . . .

Feeling like I should share some of my favorite Fall outfits from this year.

Feeling that my scarf addiction is yet again proven, as I didn't even realize until I added the pictures that all but one outfit has a scarf.

Feeling incredibly grateful for the blogging community.  For the support and encouragement to continue to share what is on my heart.

Feeling happy to have watched two Christmas movies this weekend.  Next on my list is Four Christmases.

Feeling a little too sad that I finished all the seasons of One Tree Hill.   I've now completed Felicity, 90210, Gossip Girl, and Pretty Little Liars.  Is there a teen drama left that I need to see?  Please tell me what I'm missing!


Feeling happy to introduce these ladies to you:

First is Kristine from Heart Shaped Sweat

Kristine in an adorable mom to two boys, an army wife, working mom, and somehow manages to work out and stay healthy!  One of Kristine's goals for her blog is to help you stay motivated and encouraged to make healthy lifestyle choices, like why you shouldn't be afraid of the gym, or reasons why you shouldn't make excuses!  Kristine is one motivating, sweet and impressive lady you should meet!

Next is the company Datevitation.

I am really excited to share this company with you, because not only do that have great products but also a really neat story behind the start of their business.  The company was founded by this man who realized how much his soon to be wife loved his thoughtful cards.  Check out their adorable proposal here! 
Datevitation is the web's first online platform to create a custom love coupon book.  Unlike other pre-packaged coupon books out there, you get to pick the dates and can customize the text.  Then they will print it out and ship it to you in a ready-to-go gift box.  This would make a perfect stocking stuffer!

You can use the code "lauren" for $5 off your order.  Check out their site here


Next is Sarah from Total Basset Case.

I loved Sarah's blog as soon as I started reading it, because not only is she adorable, but she also has a really cute dog named Floyd who is beyond talented.  So talented he can brush his own teeth, bring her and her husband beer, and is the self appointed neighborhood watch dog.   She also shares about date nights with her husband, DIY projects and delicious recipes.  



Last up is Jen from Team Bowen.

Photobucket

I love the meaning behind Jen's blog, as her husband told her before they got married that as soon as they become a family they would be a team.  Jen is a mom to an adorable little girl with another baby on the way.  And I must say she is one cute pregnant lady!   Jen blogs about her family adventures, as well as different projects and recipes she makes.


And I'm pretty sure you would be happy too if you checked out these fabulous ladies!

Fall Repeats

This outfit consists of my favorite recent fall loves: 
colored denim, wedges, leather jacket and a scarf. 


I made this scarf last year and am excited to wear it often this Fall and Winter.
This isn't like one of those projects I've made in the past that claim to be 30 minutes, but really take me over two hours.
This project is honestly an under 30 minute deal.
So easy that I'm reposting the directions from an earlier post. 


Buy a piece of jersey/knit fabric.You need a fabric that is nice and stretchy.  (I bought two yards.)
Lay your fabric out on your floor and fold it in half so that shorter ends match up.
The outside of your fabric should be facing in. (although with some knit fabric is doesn't make a difference)



Pin it in place. (This is important since knit fabric is very stretchy.)
Sew the ends together.
Flip it inside out (or outside in technically?)

That is it!

I've also made one in yellow and I'm sure I'll make another one soon. I'm on the lookout for a floral print!


Happy Wednesday!

Colored Denim Obsession


jeans: target  boots: dsw (similar)  tee: old navy   necklace: groopdealz

It appears as though I have a new obsession for colored denim jeans. 
I want to wear them all the time. 

A few observations about my ability to style colored jeans: 

1. These outfits together are bordering on bright color overload.  


 2. I like to buy things in primary colors.

3. I wear my grey Target wedges all the time. 
(At least I'm getting my $9 worth.) 


4. It appears that I only wear stripes and polka dots with my colored jeans. 

5. It makes me want to wear some more "subtle" tops with them. 


                                      Like this white sweater          or             this grey one: 



Now what colored denim do I need next?
