Fashion Inspiration: Autumn Begins

With yesterday being the first official day of Autumn, I wanted to create 3 looks that are perfect for the season and different occasions! I create these looks based on what I like and what I would wear if these looks were in my wardrobe. I love being inspired by different seasons and Autumn is probably my favorite. The colors, textures, fabrics, styles, and so much more! Although it doesn't really feel like Autumn in SoFla, there was a cool breeze this morning that made me happy!

Swanky Sunday: Summer Garden Party

A Sunday afternoon, high 70's, ice cold sweet tea, delicious finger food. Can you just imagine it? The southern belles gathering to talk about the week gone by and the week ahead. Sometimes I feel that I was born in the wrong era. Maybe not. I don't know. I just want to have brunch on a Sunday, in fancy dresses with my friends. Is that too much to ask for? I think not!

Friday Favorites - Nature Is A Beautiful Thing

Favorite Summer Sunglasses: Ray Bans in Every Color

Favorite Outdoor Wedding Reception: Beautifully Natural 

How gorgeous is this outdoor wedding reception? I would be the happiest bride in the entire world if this were my reception. I'm going to have to put this on my idea list! I dream of having an outdoor wedding with the reception happening just as the sun starts to go down. So much beauty on a glorious day. Found on Pinterest, here. 

Favorite Tattoo: Fearless 

I don't plan on ever getting a tattoo. I'm not against them, I think they're pretty cool. But because of how sensitive my skin is, I'm pretty certain that it would just end badly. Anyways, if I were a normal person with skin that didn't react to every little thing, this would be my tattoo of choice. I love the concept of being fearless. When you've gone through struggles in your life, you have to learn to be fearless and overcome all obstacles. One word, so many emotions. Found on Pinterest, here. 

Favorite Procrastination Laugh: Banana? 

I literally laughed out loud when I read this. There are days when this describes me perfectly. You'll find me sitting at my desk, looking blankly at my day planner, just so zoned out. I could walk around my house for hours trying to figure out what to do, even though I have a planner for that exact reason. I don't know, some times we need to zone out to refocus our minds. Found here on Pinterest.

Favorite Dream Home Backyard: Nature Escape 

If this were my backyard, I would never leave. It seems so luxurious. We could roast marshmallows, read books, have a nice drink, or just sit around and chat. This scenery would even look beautiful when it rained. There is truly so much beauty in nature. Found on Pinterest, here.

Swanky Sunday - Better Get An Umbrella

Can we just take a moment to talk about the weather that's been happening in South Florida? For real though, almost every day we've been having ridiculous thunderstorms. Also, I can't believe that we've already had our first named storm in the 2014 hurricane season! Side note: I'm pretty excited that there was a storm in the Pacific named Cristina. Different spelling, but I've always wanted to have the same name as a storm. Weird, I know. Anyways, I've put together my favorite rainy day essentials to help you survive the crazy Florida weather...

My Week In Pictures - 6/22 to 6/28

All of my new hand sanitizers have a new home. I love the fact that the nail polish holder that Briam built me is so versatile. Holding my hand sanitizers, nail polishes, hand lotions, nail stickers, makeup brushes and sponges, and so much more! But honestly, I will never be lacking hand sanitizer. 

Shameless selfie. Mucho boobies. Okay bye. 

When I got sick last week and was picking up my meds from CVS, I decided to get a Sudoku book to keep me occupied. As I write this post today (Saturday) I'm on puzzle 132 - Medium. I love playing Sudoku! I like to tell myself that it's keeping my mind sharp so I don't lose my smarts before I go to grad school! I feel bad though, Briam's been asking to do a puzzle and I never let him. I'm so mean. 

So PINK launched their new padded bralette this week and I am in so much love! It's the support and sassiness of a push-up bra, but the cuteness and comfort of a bralette. Such a great combo! For those low back or low side tanks and tees, this bra is awesome. I wore mine with this "Anything But Cardio" shirt to work the other day. Check 'em out!! 

Thursday night I didn't sleep. Like not at all. Not even for a minute. I don't know what was going on with me! I tried everything. I just ended up watching The Big Bang Theory and Futurama until 4:30am and then listened to Briam snore until 6:00am when his alarm when off for work. I was so exhausted but just couldn't sleep! I ended up taking a 3 hour nap yesterday (Friday) but I'm still so freaking tired. 

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday morning at 9:15am, which wasn't the best considering the lack of sleep but oh well. I did happen to see the craziest accident on my way though! A woman who was TEXTING while driving plowed into 2 cars! Hit one, cut the wheel and hit another! DON'T TEXT AND DRIVE. IT CAN WAIT. But anyways, after seeing the doctor, I went to see Briam and work and saw this little guy hanging out. Briam calls him BooBoo. He always watches Briam work and never bothers him, just likes to hang out. 

And then last night I was subjected to crazy driving and small child shenanigans. Briam, myself, and a few friends went down to a local race track and watched 2 of our friends race their cars. But while Mike and Weston (the drivers) were racing, James decided to be the assistant and help them on the track, leaving Briam and I with his 5 year old daughter. Now it's not that I don't like children, but I'm not personally good with them. I ended up entertaining her by letting her scream "Ready, Set, Go" at all of the cars. She was really sweet, but I'll pick my cat over a child any day. Sorry guys. 

How was you week? Any crazy things happen?
