because you're mine, I walk the line

People have special talents about them, which make them awesome in their own little way.  Come to find out, Cody, is the best at call in radio shows.  He calls, plays a game, & wins .. every single time.  It amazes me, since I have never won anything.  

This past week, he won tickets to a Johnny Cash cover band, Cash'd Out.  One, I love Johnny Cash & two, I love any reason to wear an all black outfit.  We had a great time at the concert, it was little weird because we were the youngest people there.  But we enjoyed the concert, even if it was a cover band playing my favorite hits by Johnny Cash.

clearance steals & deals | part 2

 

 

 

When I go shopping, I always look for clearance steals or a 50% sale throughout the store.  Now a days, all store's merchandise will end up on clearance or sale so why not save your money and spend it on another cute top on sale. 

Point of the post: this top is from Banana Republic, I found it on the sale rack at $18 and these high waisted black jeans are from Gap for $30, I also got these pants in a dark denim. 

*So after our vacation, I realized that I lost my camera charger.  These pictures are from my lovely iPhone.  Fingers crossed, a new camera charger or (possibly) a new camera will be in my hands sooner than later.

 From a reader's perspective, how does the iPhone pictures look?  Are they okay?  Are iPhone pictures acceptable for a blog?

In a week, Cody, myself, & one of his best friends will be heading on a road trip down the west coast! Our stops include: Seattle, Portland, Redwood National Forest, Napa Valley, & San Francisco.  I am so excited about completing a road trip because I have never actually been on a "real long road trip", the longest I have ever ridden in a car is like 5 hours.  So, this could be a struggle for me.

First Things First 
I will be the only girl on this awesome road trip, so my "primping time" will be around 30 minutes, tops.  To make my "primping time" easier for myself & for the guys, I plan on packing the essentials & basics.  I am challenging myself to pack all my essentials in a carry on suitcase, to re-wear outfits but with different ways, & to utilize my accessories in a fun way!

Pictured above are a few of the essentials that I plan on packing on our road trip.
1. Boyfriend Jeans - Oh YES, this is a definite yes.
2. Grey Tank/ T- Shirt - I plan on wearing these with yoga pants when we hike, & with a dark pair of skinny jeans for a night out on the town!
3. Leather Jacket - The perfect essential for any cold nights!

I am super pumped to keep everybody updated on our fun adventure, it begins soon & I will be posting pictures on Instagram, so don't forget to follow along!

a delayed post

When I have to work my 6 day stretch at work, I usually wear my Target attire (red & khaki) then my pjs, this outfit of choice, never fails.  Today, was my day off (HALLELUJAH) so no red & khaki for this kid!

I have been dying to wear my new jewels that I snagged from the Bauble Bar sale a couple of weeks ago!  The minute I got this necklace in the mail, I fell in love.  I love this company's jewelry, it has such good quality, low prices, & they are just PRETTY!

My Outfit

Necklace: Bauble Bar

Button Up Shirt: Gap 

Vest: J. Crew Factory

Shoes: Old Navy

my Wednesday wants

With my job, I get a day off every week & well my day off is the beautiful hump day; Wednesday.  I personally think it is the best day to have off from work.  

My morning usually consists of drinking my morning coffee, eating a big bowl of cereal, watching netflix, & snuggling with our puppy, Percy. All of these activities take place with me being in my pjs, I have no shame in saying this.

After my usual routine  is over, I do enjoy doing some online window shopping.  So take a look at what all I am loving on this cold day...
