It’s the Weekend

March 2, 2013 · By Rachel · 17 Comments

Let’s talk about life lately… it has been a couple weeks since I’ve done a weekend post.

Earlier this week I went and got a manicure… I loved my blue nails, but after doing our dishes, my nails started to chip. I got lazy and went to the mall and picked out this gorgeous orange color. Went well with the bracelet I was wearing that day! (my grandma gave me this bracelet, along with a lot of other jewelry. She said she just doesn’t wear it anymore and would rather have someone get use out of it… gosh I love her!)

Last week I wore stripes with plaid… something I’ve been seeing on a lot of bloggers, such as Shanna, AJ and Dora, lately and just LOVE! This easy-to-wear outfit was perfect for casual Friday!

It’s the Weekend

February 2, 2013 · By Rachel · 31 Comments

I wanted to start doing a weekend post just to wrap up the week and share some of the things I’ve been loving but haven’t shared elsewhere during the week, or at least expand on them more, and as a way to share some of the other things I love aside from clothes and shoes (even though today that is pretty much the focus). Probably will vary from week to week, but I promise I will try to make it fun!

Top Photos: Celebrating my 25th birthday last weekend! I wore a full sequin ensemble (see more here in an outfit post earlier this week) and went out for dinner at Aerzzo Ristorante in Edina (it was SO delicious)!

Bottom photos: What I’ve been wearing this week: Arm party with my new pave link chain bracelet (my friend got it for me and it is a complete knock off of the J.Crew one… I LOVE it). Right photo shows the bow necklace, bracelet and pave link chain bracelet, all gifts for my birthday! You can find me on Instagram here.

How cute is this coat from Forever21?! It is on sale for $25.99, originally $52.80. A cute, stylish way to stay warm for under $30? I would say that’s a steal!

Emmagram

December 14, 2012 · By Rachel · 18 Comments

It’s fair to say that I’m obsessed with my 7-month old mini Australian shepherd Emma and Instagram. Thus I present you with Emmagram.

You can follow along @rachelslookbook

Also… Emma just got home today from her spay surgery. It went very well, but I’m hoping for a speedy recovery! In the meantime, she’ll be wearing her lovely cone of shame.

Best of Insta

October 2, 2012 · By Rachel · 23 Comments

Just wanted to do a fun post sharing some of my photos on Instagram (some recent and some not so recent). I call them the best, well, because heart(s) don’t lie. Plus I see a trend: stripes, polka dots and puppies! Who doesn’t love those things?! I get it, I get it for sure. And the beautiful Aussie at the bottom left belongs to Megan from Two Birds. I met this stunner at the Minnesota Blogger Meet Up a couple weeks ago!
