April 2013 – Wild One Forever

Blue Blouse and Mustard Jeans

Fashion Jewelry Shoes Uncategorized What I Wore

April 30, 2013

I love bright colored denim. I went a little crazy last year and bought tons of colors. I think these mustard colored ones were probably one of the best ones that I purchased. They’re from J.Crew and they have just the right amount of stretch to them.

Also, I am obsessed with these little elephant baubles I got too! I can’t get enough of them right now. I love elephants! They are so cute!

Thirdly I am so excited that I can start wearing my spring clothes. It’s finally warm! You can tell by the snow in the corners of these pictures that I went ahead and bought my spring clothes early. I always do that. I buy my spring clothes early and my fall clothes early and I get so excited to wear them. Now I finally can!

Blouse – Anthropologie; Jeans – J.Crew (similar here); Shoes – Kate Spade; Watch – Michael Kors (similar here); Bracelet – Julie Vos for Baublebar; Ring – Julie Vos for Baublebar, Hammered Bands (from Soel Boutique, similar here).

Dark Places

I’m hooked on Gillian Flynn…so she better start writing some more books.

Libby testified against her brother to put him away for life when she was 7 for the murders of her mother and her two sisters; the murders that came to be known as “The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas.” Now 25 years later, The Kill Club, a society that is obsessed with famous crimes and murders, has convinced Libby that maybe her brother wasn’t after all the murderer that night. At first she hatches a plan that she will re-visit key players from the time period for the club, for a fee in return, but she soon becomes entangled in their stories and isn’t so sure that her testimony of that night was correct.

I could not put this book down. Gillian Flynn is a really dark writer, but she totally sucks you in. I love her. Read this and her other books. You can see my little reviews on Gone Girl and Sharp Objects by clicking their links.

ACM’s 2013

Awards Show Celeb Fashion Moments Fashion Music Uncategorized

April 28, 2013

I love country music…but you definitely get some characters from country music, so I like to see what people wear to country music awards.

Carrie Underwood: I think I’m liking this the more and more I look at it, but a lot of people put her on the worst dressed. I think it fits her personality and it’s spring, so why not?

Beth Behrs: I really like the dress and the color on her, but I’m not loving the shoes she picked. She should have just gone with a simple tan shoe.

Kelly Clarkson: not my fav, but not horrible.

Kaley Cuoco: I think the dress is ok, but I’m not a fan of the hair. It would have worked better at the MTV awards.

Ashley Monroe: I think she looks cute. Don’t LOVE the fringe, but overall it’s pretty good.

Sheryl Crow: I like this because it’s different and it fits her really well. I give her props for going away from the norm.

Faith Hill: It works because she is at a country awards show, but otherwise I don’t think I would like it at all.

Miranda Lambert: Her face is beautiful. I think she looks great. A little bit top heavy in this dress, but she looks fantastic.

WORSTS

Shania Twain: Did she go back in time to the 90s? Or was she channeling Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman without the dress? This is terrible…

Beth Chapman: The color is bad. I hate this pale pink color for most things in general, but I think this color makes her look bigger than she is. I’m not sure why in the world she thinks her boobs look good in this. Also..is she going to a pageant?

Tobi Lee: I have no idea who this is, but I posted it because this is horrible. At least her shoes match her dress, but I don’t have a lot to say about this…

RaeLynn: This might be worse…

BESTS

Jewel: I don’t think I’ve seen her look this good in a long time. I love this color on her and her hair is perfect.

The Band Perry: Her hair is done! (the boys’ is getting better) I love her dress though. Very clean with a little edge.

Jana Kramer: I think she is gorgeous. Her and Taylor (below) are kind of twins, but I like the gold jeweled dresses. It makes her body look amazing.

Taylor Swift: I love her whole ‘Egyptian’ look…the bangs, the eyeliner, and the dress…reminds me of a modern Cleopatra and I’m diggin’ it.

April 27, 2013

J.Crew is one of my favorite places to shop. I can’t seem to get enough of it lately! I literally find something I want every single time I open an email or walk by the store. I think I’m going to have to ban myself, because it’s really becoming a problem. Well…let’s be honest, it was always a problem, but I need to control it.

BUT…I let myself go a little crazy, because this week their entire store is 25% off (30% for cardmembers)!!! You guys better take advantage of this before it is over, which is on Sunday (4/28)…so you have two more days! Use code: SPRINGBEST and get yourself a new spring wardrobe…because you deserve it 🙂 (oh, and if you have a J.Crew card, use code: CARDSTYLE, and get 30%)

Anyway, they always have their signature ‘preppy’ style, but right now they have a really cute tribal/travel/world type style going on that I’m loving so I thought I would share some of my favorite pieces with you from this trend.

This is a pretty big trend right now everywhere, but here are a couple other stores that have great discounts going on right now featuring this trend.

It’s finally sunny! Yay! Not totally warm yet, but in honor of the sun I thought I would do a little post on sun hats, because they just make me happy. Who doesn’t want to go sit on the beach in the perfect suit and a fabulous hat? I feel like they are functional, while adding just the little bit of glamour that you need in your life.
