She's a Pal and a Confidante

Hello everyone!! I hope your weekend is going well thus far. Mine's gone kind of good I guess. I mentioned a few posts ago that my wubby was sick, and it turns out that he was much more sick than we knew, and he has the flu... sad. So thats what my day has consisted of for the most part. Taking care of my husband, and nursing him back to health. Hopefully he gets better soon, I hate seeing him this way. In my 3 1/2 years of knowing him, I've never seen him so sick.

Anyways, as I type this at starbucks, this is actually my second time here today! I got all the way to starbucks and realized that I didn't have my camera or my usb chord to load my pictures! Silly me, so I took care of whatever I could, and just redigned to the fact that I had to come back. But thats okay! Because it's the time of year for the Treat reciept! yay! Although, I ordered the new blended Strawberry thing, and I really wish I had ordered a coffee drink, Oh well, good thing it was only two dollars, and not the regular price. The frozen strawberry lemonade thing from Mc Donalds is way better, and it's much cheaper. Whatever.

ANYWAYS!! This is what I decided to wear today. This little white dress doesn' actually belong to me.... it belongs to my dear friend Alyssa!! I dont remember why it had been hanging in my closet, but one funny thing is: it's from Campbells! This dress was there while I worked there, so she much have gone in while I was working, but I didn't know her then! We were meant to be friends, this much is true. Campbell's, in case you were wondering, is this great retail store that I worked at when I lived in Stockton years ago. Everything they have there is cute, and it was a very dangerous place to work and have a discount.

 I'm obviously working the head scarf again. When you're taking care of your sick husband the last thing you wanna do is get your hair all cute for no reason. I mean, I do get cute for my husband, but when he's literally sleeping all day... whats the point right? Today is a head scarf day.

 Isn't the back of this dress neat? You can really tell, but the white knit fabric is kind of shimmery! so if you unbelt it, and wear with heels, it can be kind of dressy!

 I thought I would repaint my nails. They were looking bad.

Well you guys! Thats about it for me today. I can't believe I forgot to give you guys a link to my best friend's shop Darby and Lola, there it is for you. ALSO, don't forget to check out her wedding in last month's The Knot!!! How exciting!! Anyways, I gots to get back to my wubby!! See you soon!!

Primary Election

Hi Everyone! Happy Friday to you all! The heat is definitely back. No more pleasant walks over to Starbucks, I have to drive, I’ll melt… even if the walk is only 7-10 minutes. Oh well. Anyways! Two days ago I mentioned that I was gonna have a play date with my dearest friend from childhood (this is her wedding, featured in the Knot!!). I can prove it, you can just look every picture of my kiddy birthday parties, she’s there (and I’min all of hers!). It was such a blast, there are only a few people on this earth that make me laugh as hard as my husband does, and Karli is one of them. You know those friends that you don’t see for a while but when you do, it’s like no time has passed? That’s me and Karli. We both managed to get out of our little Hometown, and we’re still great friends! She lives in the Santa Rosa area. Next visit, me and Nathan are gonna visit she and James (her husband). Yay for best friends.

Anyways! Our day consisted of shopping till we dropped. Roseville has really great shopping, but you know me. I can’t buy brand new, I really cant. Everyones got great sales going right now, but even then with the great prices, nothing satisfies like a great find at a secondhand place. Sorry, but not really.

Well, everyone this is what I decided to wear today. I feel like the primary colors of this skirt make it perfect for summer. I like how it’s kind of nautical, but not with anchors and stripes. It’s nice.

This little hair clip is from Karli’s etsy store Darby and Lola. I am not joking, she’s like the craftiest woman I know (in a good way. She literally crafts things). Her store is soooooo cute! Every single one of those “o’s” is sincere. It’s super high quality and well made. I just adore everything in her store. I really like this clip because it’s not so big that it overwhelms my little baby pony-tail.

 Isn't the belt of this skirt so fun? It's like a party in a belt!

Well everyone, that’s about it for me. Be sure to stop by Karli’s store before you get off your computers! Her stuff is not to be missedJ Enjoy your Friday everyone! See you soon!

They’re As Serious As Any Sovereign Nation About Preservation

Hello! I hope you guys are all having a great Wednesday thus far. Mine’s going pretty great to be honest. As I’m typing this I’m actually watching the commentary on the DVD of mine and Nathan’s latest obsession…which just happens to be the Sons of Anarchy!! Ha! I know, how incredibly random right? Nathan brought them home from his Dad’s house, and they just sat there in our DVD box forever. When I was sick watching the same DVDs over and over and over, I finally pulled out SOA, and ironically enough, I was hooked. I guess I secretly long for life on the edge… That my friends is the opposite of truth, I love my very far away from the edge life. Which then brings me to my next DVD review… ha.
We rented Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Roderick Rules. I loved it! It’s so sweet and funny, and for lack of better terms, family friendly. I think I’ll definitely be buying these movies for my children when they are old enough to care about movies, when I actually have kids. I like kid movies in general, they’re super funny without being vulgar. PS. Steve Zhan is the dad! How can you not love a movie when the dad is Steve Zhan!! He’s so believable! If my dad weren’t so amazingly awesome, I think I’d like the dad from this movie to be my dad.

ANYWAYS! This is what I decided to wear today. It kind of reminds of West Side Story for some reason, you know, I just wanna break out with “Tonight, Tonight”. I think it’s because of the shape and color of the top, mixed with the brightness and the shape of the skirt.

I mentioned this in my very first post ever, how awkward it can be to just go and take pictures of your self posing and trying to be cool. The reason I’m smiling so huge is because Nathan opened the window and scared me! So much for being really cool!!

These are my Disneyland sandals. That’s what I call them. They’re perfect for walking around all day. You can wear them with shorts and a Mickey mouse shirt (or this skirt, speaking of Disney) and then when you wanna go to dinner, you just put on a cute dress and the metallic gold makes them kinda dressy.

Well everyone, that’s about it for me today. My dearest friends from my childhood are coming to visit tomorrow! I seriously. Can. Not. Wait. It’s gonna be so great! Pictures to come for sure! See you soon!

I'm happy on the second tier

Good morning everyone! I hope you're doing well this lovely tuesday morning. It's been far too long since I've posted anything, and for that I truly apologize. Okay, so it's only been 4 days, but that feels long to me. But don't worry as far as outfits are concerned, you haven't missed much. Running around with children really calls for nothing but cutoff shorts and t-shirts, much to my dismay. I love planning and putting together outfits.

Anyways, this is what I decided to wear today. I love the shape and color of this little halter. I feel like the peplum just really makes it super sweet, along with the lace and embroidered straps. I'm not normally into halter tops, but I couldn't resist this one. Also, it's the return of my tan wool skirt. I haven't worn it in quite awhile. I'm glad to see it out again :)

 I was a little bit leary of the peplum with the a-line skirt, but It's definitely growing on me.

 Here's a little bit better picture my new top. theres actually quite a bit going on, which makes the plainness of the skirt good. Stripes, Floral, Lace, Peplum... oh my!!

Look at the beautious detail in this bow! Gosh, I can't wait to style this top a million other things.

Well everyone, thats about it for me today. My wubby has a bad cold!! So I have to be home to nurse him back to health. Poor guy. Nathan never gets sick, he's a really healthy person, so when he does fall under the weather, its really bad. So after this I'll be running to the store for some soup and cold meds (and Emergen-C for me! I don't wanna catch it!). I hope you all stay healthy, and enjoy the rest of your day! You'll know what I'll be up to! See you soon!I'm happy on the second tier

In summer, the song sings itself

Hi Everyone!! Happy Friday!! Hope your weeks has been good, mine's been pretty uneventful really. Just nanny-ing it up and hanging out with friends, you know, watching the Bachelorette!! I hate the show as much as I love it. I'm too far in now, I have to see how it goes down. Just to honest, I know how much everyone lovs, JP... but didn't he kind of come off as a psycho last week? I like Ames... but I know he has no chance.

Anyways!!  The weather has been so mild! I'm talking 70 degrees in July!! In the Valley? Thats just unheard of! It makes it picking out an outfit really easy. When it gets super hot all you wanna wear is a swimsuit, but when it's nice like this, you can wear whatever you want! It's so nice!

So This is what I decided to wear today. It pretty boring I guess. However, I really do enjoy the colors and the shapes of this outfit. There's no print! I know, I dont really know how to deal with solids... This top is really cropped, and when you're tall and have a long torso, cropped tops are super cropped, and since I'm really not emotionally prepared to do the whole bare midriff trend, I decided to wear my high waisted shorts. I think the shapes and pastels go well together.

 ALSO!! I'm dog sitting! This little baby is my friend's dog, Prissy! Isn't she so precious! Sh'e seriously the best behaved dog. They were going to Santa Cruz for a few days, so I offered my expert dog sitting services because I don't watch the kids on Thursdays and Fridays. So me and Prissy have basically become best friends.

 She has to wear her little hair in a pony because her bangs are so long! She can't see without it!

Here are a few more pics from the week for you to enjoy :)

Well, thats about for me today!! Hope the rest of your friday goes great and that you fully enjoy the weekend ahead! See you soon!

These People Are My Friends, and I CARE ABOUT THEM!!

Hi Everyone! I hope you are all having a great weekend, I know I definitely am. Yesterday was pretty much the greatest day of my life as I caught up with Stockton friends that I hadn’t really had really good hang out time with in a really long time. I was so busy chatting it up and talking about life that I didn’t take a single picture!! Don’t worry though, the Wilson Way flea market in Stockton is really nothing to take pictures of. However, I really should have taken pictrues of how cute my friends looked, my brother’s GF Mandi and her BFF Shelby are definitely the most fashionable 18 years ladies that I know personally for sure. Not to mention they are little theological geniuses. Oh well… such is life I suppose.

BUT I also reconnected with my best friend through high school and go around at college, Meg. She’s quite the scrap booking/invitation /greeting card maven. She’s got this crazy machine called a Cricket, and it cuts out all these crazy shapes, I don’t know what kind of sorcery it employs, but it’s pretty crazy. We hadn’t chatted or even seen each other since our best friend Karli’s wedding (who was featured in the Knot!!) last September! It was really healing time to reconnect. Something was missing from my life, and it was Meg (hahaha, how romantic! But I’m serious).

Anyways, while I was hanging out with my girlfriends all day, this is what I decided to wear. I followed Keiko Lynn’s tutorial of how wear and head scarf, and I think this will definitely be a look that I adopt as I continue to grow out my hair. It’s kind of rock-a-billy meets Prince at the 2006 super bowl half-time show. I invested in this scarf and hot pink one from the Goodwill for $2.25. I’ll have to look for more neutral ones so I can wear them with more outfits.

What a treat! Out of nowhere, Nathan decided he wanted to help me with my pictures! Hahaha. Look how regal he is in these. Some of them he decided to be my quest photographer for a few pictures since I forgot my tripod in Sacramento. Man… what the heck did I do before having a tripod?

This is my dads firewood pile… how mountainly is that right?! I feel like I look so rugged standing in front of it! Ha.

Well everyone, that’s about it for me today. Hopefully I’ll be working this week, ‘cause you know, I gotta make the dough! As Mr Krabs from Spongebob would say, “It’s money that makes your pants square.” Hope the rest of your weekend goes great!! See you soon!!
