There’s a Party in my Pastels & You’re Invited…

May 16, 2013

RATE

G B O

How does that phrase usually go? There’s a party in my… socks? Pants?! Honey Bunches of Oats? Well, either way – the important message here is that YOU’RE INVITED! You’re invited to laugh in my general direction in a mocking manner since none of this makes sense and I sound like a big blithering idiot. Um, is it the weekend yet? Mmmmmmmk. Forward and onward.

The truth is pastels make me weak in the knees. I saw this pastel yellow blazer at H&M and had to take it home with me. Mostly cuz I heart the pastels. I heart them good. Like, if pastels were a boy, his name would be Chase Willardson and I’d convince him that his life would be a miserable, boring-as-death mess without me in it, and then I’d marry the crap out of him. Yep – that’s would I’d do with Pastels (the boy… who would actually be Chase, my husband. Is this making sense?). 1-2-3 I’m gonna stop talking now.

Oh one more thing: Don’t forget to enter the Giveaway for a $200 spring fashion shopping spree! Ends soooooon!

White Denim : Two Ways.

May 14, 2013

G B O

This post is sponsored by Old Navy. Check out Old Navy’s latest fashion lineup in store or online at oldnavy.com.

What do we love most about white denim?

Oh just that the possibilities with these babies are endless. Endless I tell you! And that they’re perfect for SUMMER! Today I’m showing you two ways that you can rock your white denim.

Don’t have a pair yet? Allow me to recommend these beauts from Old Navy. My legs feel less like they’re wrapped up in straight-jackets and more like they’ve been lovingly hugged by a pair of sexy pajama pants – the kind that aren’t mad that I have curves. Translation: they’re comfy! And flattering! Cuz let’s be serious – ya gotta be careful with white denim. Things could go wrong. What’s the winning strategy? Finding a pair that are figure flattering but not so uncomfortable that you want to kill yourself. Turns out these babies offer the perfect amount of give while still fitting like a hot pair of skinnies should. Oh and don’t worry – this summer staple is ON SALE right now at Old Navy. Woot!

In outfit #1, I paired my Old Navy white denim with a chambray shirt, a black blazer, and a sassy pair of silver pointy-toe heels. In outfit #2, I couldn’t resist that sexy combo of taupe and white.

Soooooo, the question is, which ensemble do YOU prefer?

GBO?

What to Get Yo’ Mama for Mother’s Day

May 8, 2013

G B O

Does anyone else have trouble deciding what to get their mommies for Mother’s Day? It’s a predicament for me every year of my life. And now, with Mommy Day fast approaching, we’re reaching desperation stage. Allow me to throw you a bone here: if you’re doing any last minute shopping (or racking of the brain as to what to get her!), this Sperry-Top Sider watch is perfection and would make a fabulous Mother’s Day gift. It’s fun, a great mix of casual and classy, and perfect for Spring/Summer. I’m in love! Too bad I’ll be giving it away to my mama, eh? Might just have to pick one up for myself as well!

The Sperry-Top Sider watch I’m wearing is from their Hayden Collection and is available online at Macy’s, Dillard’s, and Sperry Top-Sider. You can get it there!

What are you getting your moms for Mother’s Day?

Good luck with your shopping!

Tulle Skirt…

May 1, 2013

Yay or Nay?

RATE

G B O

Guys – do we believe in tulle skirts? Are we fully converted to these things? I gotta be honest – I’ve been on the fence a little. Ok, a lot. BUT, then the wonderful people over at Very Jane send me this little number, and the fact that I put it on and instantly felt like a regular TinkerBell mixed with Ballerina mixed with Fairy Princess definitely started to win me over. You can’t be mad about that, right? Right. And I gotta say – I’m loving all the different things you can do with this thang. It’s a fun item to have in the closet when you’re wanting to wear something a little more ‘outside the box’ and adventurous. Which leads to the oh so ever important question:

GBO?

What say ye? Would YOU wear this trend? Are you a believer?

Gingham, anyone?

April 24, 2013

G B O

Guys, this is turning out to be one of those weeks where I am just getting owned. Like if me and the Week were in a boxing match, he’d be Mike Tyson and I’d be the dude with half an ear (Woof. Poor Evander). Room a total mess? Check. Barely keeping my head above water at work? Check. Haven’t exercised once this week yet? Check check. Sigh – it’s in these times that I find myself wishing that I was best friends with a robot (why can’t I find one of those?) who could do things vicariously for me and I’d still get the benefits. OR that it would become socially acceptable to be unshowered and bra-less and wear my pajamas everywhere I go. At the rate we’re going now, I’ll be jumping on the latter mentioned option in no time – socially acceptable or not.

Oh, you were wondering when I was going to stop mitching and boning? You were wondering when Complaining Constance was going to go get a life? Yeah, me too. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed.

In other news, my baby brother-in-law is heading off for TWO-YEARS to serve a mission for our church. He’ll be living in Argentina, spreading the good word. Truthfully that’s another thing making this week feel funky. We will miss that little guy. BUT, there’s nowhere else we’d have him be – turns out it’s a REAL good cause he’s going to be pursuing. Huzzah!

Peplum Power!

April 18, 2013

RATE

G B O

I love me some Peplum. Especially when it’s done in a bright, springy, adorable color. I found this Peplum tank at Forever 21 and COULD.NOT.RESIST. I’m also never opposed when you’re able to find matching nail polish AND lipstick. Julep sent me this fabulous bubblegum pink polish and featured the whole thing as their Look of the Week last week. Gooooooood times! So now I want to know from all of YOU…

GBO?

Mmmmyeah – turns out those mentally-challenged poses below were the best way I could think of to show off Julep’s fabulous nail polish color (try not to judge me). BUT, is that color not adorbs? Right guys? Am I right? Bueller? Bueller? Surriously though, if you haven’t tried Julep’s polish yet, you’re missing out. It’s my absolute fave.

No one hates a good t-shirt. I’m personally a major fan because of how much you can do with these thangs! Dress them up, dress them down, wear them with a skirt, wear them with skinny jeans – you get the picture. Bottom line: Wear it like you own the joint!

I chose this Pink Floyd number because, well, it’s Pink Floyd (my sissy loved this band so I grew up listening to them), AND it’s a tee you can do a lot with. I chose to dress it up a bit with a structured blazer, some black painted skinnies, and some strappy heels. Now the question is…

GBO?

Oh and don’t worry – all of Old Navy’s best tees are ON SALE right now for up to 50% off! Woot Woot! Go getchya some.

Blazer: BCBG | Tee: c/o Old Navy {love this one, this one, this one, & this one} | Black Painted Skinnies: Forever 21 | Heels: Steve Madden {similar} {obsessed with these ones} {and these ones!}| Cross Body Bag: Forever 21 {similar} {coveting this one BAD}| Watch: Nordstrom | Renegade Cluster Bracelet: c/o Stella & Dot | Other Bracelets: Forever 21

Pencil Skirt, Polka Dots, and Mint

April 11, 2013

RATE

G B O

So, clearly…

I love mint.
I love polka dots.
I love pencil skirts.

Yep. I feel like I wear these items alllll the time. Like HERE, HERE, and HERE (and a million other places on this here blog).
But hey – if you know you love it, stick with it, right?

In other news, husband gets back tonight from a long-as-death business trip. Long-as-death being 4 days… which felt like 15. WOOF! I loathe business trips, particularly when HE is the one going on them and I am the one being left behind (sniff*). And this is the part where you say to the computer screen ‘Oh wah wah Shannon. Four days ain’t nothin! How bout’ you pull up your lady britches and stop being such a baby, mmmmk?’

However, in his absence I DID manage to go to Cross-Fit three times (did I tell you I was doing that? More about that tomorrow for Fitness Friday) and get my nails shellac-attacked! WOOT! I suppose some good can come even from the terrible injustice of being abandoned for the good part of a week while husband goes cavorting with a bunch of ‘business folk’ (womp- womp).

Btw, last day to enter the Albion Fit Giveaway! Don’t miss the chance to win some cutie-patootie workout clothing. Ay-O!

Aaaaaaaaand sometimes that happens.

HOT. Right?

Oh, by the way… I’m featured as a Julep Look of the Week right meow. Check it out and then buy allllllll their nail polish, cuz it will blow your mind. No. Seriously. More pics/details to come on the outfit I’m wearing. Woot!

Have a ‘Thankful to have the Husband Home’ Thursday!

Thanks for read-ink.
