Metallic Mondays

Fashion•Outfits

So yesterday was a weird day. I got up a little later than normal after traveling to and from Madison this weekend to visit my sister, and wasn’t exactly looking forward to a day at work, but who is on a Monday? Anyway, I showed up to an almost completely empty parking lot. Uh ohhhh… I immediately thought back to Friday where my company’s power was out for a couple hours due to the storms the night before. Well I guess another round of bad storms hit the Minneapolis area on Friday night and the power had been out...

Fun & Free

Outfits

This past weekend, I had the amazing opportunity to work with my boyfriend’s best friend, who is the owner and photographer at Xquisite Photography. He asked if I would like to do a shoot with him at some point to update his portfolio and of course agreed to help (and hello the opportunity to have some awesome photos for the blog, yes please)!  It was such a fun shoot, his fiance and my boyfriend were around to help and we all just had a great time.  He is am amazing photographer and great director. He helped me feel relaxed...

Nothing Special

Outfits

Yesterday morning was literally one of those mornings where I had 5 minutes to choose an outfit (15 minutes to get ready in total, whoops). The easiest route for me is a dress + blazer/cardigan and just match all my accessories. It seems so boring and blah, but sometimes it just works when you are trying to get ready fast. I chose my sequin black cardigan over my plain one though, just to add a little something more to the ensemble. It is still nothing special, but it happens. On the upside, the SUN WAS SHINING yesterday and got...

Florals + Bows

Outfits

Two of my very favorite, very girly things/patterns to wear, florals and bows take over a large section of my closet. Also, who doesn’t love a little bit of florals when we are approaching spring. I like to pretend it makes it come sooner. On the upside, we did have a heat wave yesterday being above 32 degrees. Man did it feel good! Hope you are having a great week, Happy Hump Day!

Flawless Fall Fashion

Fashion

I wanted to share a couple of my favorite fall trends for 2011, which sadly is coming to an end in Minnesota, but can still work well for winter time. Plaid trends are something I love to wear during the fall season into winter, and this year it is a MUST for your wardrobe. With major fashion trends, I try to take looks off the runway and edit them to fit my everyday life. I usually do this by taking small parts and incorporating them with my personal style. I would just do one piece, whether a skirt, button-up, jacket...
