It's time for fall ya'll

Fall, yes! The weather isn't cold enough yet, but I'm willing it to be autumn. My fam has always joked that I'm a librarian, where ever would they get that idea?

glasses: random ones from the shop
cardigan: gift from friend Jack
shirt: the Gap (in London!)
skirt: vintage from a thrift store here in Cedar
boots: BCBG from my sister :)

For the ambiance of the picture I buttoned my collar. If I'd thought harder I'd have worn my amber and wood chunky necklace and gold earrings.

Meanwhile look how thick my hair looks! CHOP CHOP!!!

Sexy Sunday: Breakfast at Tiffany's

I went to St. George yesterday and got super cute new shoes (and the COMPLETE Jeeves and Wooster!) so I had to put together a super cute outfit! This was more difficult than you would think bc my summer wardrobe is almost entirely brown neutral and I wore my only power neutral skirt last week and I'd worn my black cardigan yesterday and blah blah blah. Moral of the story is it worked out and I call this my Breakfast at Tiffany's look bc I'm wearing my Tiffany blue skirt and my hair's so so high and huge on my head. Also, ever since I got an angled brush cateyes are the easiest things ever (not that you can even tell in this picture bc my eyes are the squintiest)! I have half a mind to do a before and after Sunday make up post bc I love make up so much!

cardigan: Target
black leotard: some dance store in Provo from my ballet class
necklace and earrings: Forever 21 (necklace is from Santa Monica store)
skirt: made by me
shoes: Naturalizer from Dillards

Sexy Sunday: March edition

It's been awhile. All my Sundays are sexy, but frankly I'm not into taking posey pictures of myself and getting other people to take them makes me feel awkward and I'm so tall it's hard to fit me in a normal camera frame in a flattering manner. Even photographers at shoots I've done have had a hard time.

Anydoctorwho, here's what I looked like for church today. I went home after the first hour bc I'm sick, so if I look a little down in the mouth, that's why.


Gold earrings: Target
Blouse: Target
Belt: Forever 21
Skirt: made by me
Golden Fly Bracelet (so Egyptian!): Banana Republic
Shoes: Nine West

Those are my new shoes! Well, the blouse and earrings are too, and I've worn the earrings everyday since I got them, but those are my new Nine West leather pumps and I love them. I always think of Mae West when I see Nine West, so in my mind it's kind of slutty but alluring brand.

For those of you in the know, yes I am visiting my 'rents in Nebraska and yes, those are baby pictures of my older sisters behind me. My photo's just behind my torso, which is a shame bc I was the most beautiful baby ever, true story, my nurse said so.

My favorite stores.

It's a wonderful day when everything you wear comes from one of four places: The Gap, Eddie Bauer, Nordstrom or was made by yourself. I give you my Sunday outfit. I will admit, it is not Sexy. I'm out of contacts and was running late and it was stormy so end of the story was this outfit. I never want to wear flats to church again, but bottom line is every piece I wore (minus jewelry and the glasses) was from one of these places. I'd also accept Banana Republic as a suitable source for my favorite clothes.

scarf: The Gap
jacket: Eddie Bauer
skirt: made by me
sweater: The Gap
tights: The Gap
shoes: Nordstrom (size 41, yup, they're European)

Sexy Sundays

My sister and her roommates used to have designated Sexy Sundays on which they'd make sure they were super smokin' for church. I adopted this when I went to the fashion show that is BYU. Looking back I can't say I always had the greatest style, but I think I've really gotten into a pretty sexy groove. Every Sunday is Sexy Sunday for me, because a) it's the one day a week I actually make an effort because I work with all women and b) I love to do my hair and make up and doll myself up.

Here's my outfit I wore last week. Cardigan on sale at Target, skirt made by me for like $5, shoes from Payless and brooch and earrings are Martha's.

This is what I wore today. The dress is from Target which I altered to make long enough (project journal to come), cardi from Target, tights from Gap, shoes from Payless, earrings from Forever 21.

And my hair from this week was awesome as well. It naturally finger waves, be jealous.

And I have TONS of hair recently!!! I know it's long, but it's taken so long to get to this point that I always covet longer hair.

And does anyone else think that the blonde streak UNDER my hair hilarious?

outfit: 10/8/09

autumn demands plaid and riding boots.
Gap shirt, pants and Delia's riding boots.

outfit: 10/6/09

With the arrival of autumn comes the need for dark hose, impeccable coats and fun cardigans. Don't forget trendy accessories (my favorite bag that's Gap-a-licious^max and my lurvly pashmina), a classic denim skirt and bows in your hair.

Old Navy cardigan: Christmas present
Old Navy tshirt from like 5 years ago
hand me down denim skirt
charcoal tights (nice alternative to black)
black flats
Miss Sixty Coat: my baby!!
Gap bag from like 5 years ago
Pashmina from the Krishna temple in Spanish Fork

outfit 9/11/09

Target T- $5
Gap LONG trousers- $15
BYU Bookstore flats- $20
Forever 21 blue sharf (shawl/scarf)-$10

Besides my knock off pashmina (a shawl woven from the wool of feral Himalayan goats) this sharf is my favorite. I try to wear them in different ways. What do you think of this way? Mostly I tie it one way and it flops around until something like this happens.
