Off the bottom

Sooo I may have been a bit dramatic on twitter yesterday (as the bf pointed out) about how much hair I was losing. No, I do not have a pixi cut today but I did get 4 inches cut off and it felt and looked like a TON! Obviously when it's your own 4 inches, it seems like a much bigger deal but I am loving the shorter 'do. Much more healthy and light. With a peanut head like mine, I think less is more!

THANK YOU!

This post is a just an honest big fat THANK YOU! I haven’t been in the blogging world long but have loved every minute of it thus far and in many ways because of you all. I started this as a creative outlet to share my love of shopping and clothes (deep I know J) and the many well wishes and notes of admiration have been amazing. I just wanted to take this post to say thank you to those of you who have tweeted, text, etc. a simple “love what you are doing, keep it up”. Those who have offered up suggestions or asked for advice, you don’t know how great it can make a girl feel! Soo thank you, thank you . . . as Oscar Wilde said “The smallest act of kindess is worth more than the grandest intention."

Styled Her Way: Spring Colors

Remember that fun little lavender jean look I put together for Denim Saloon? Check them out here to see how two other Omaha bloggers styled theirs. I love that we all came up with such different looks to match our personalities. These jeans are perfect for spring! Get in and get yourself a pair or two!

Let the fun begin . .

Between this summer and fall, I have TEN weddings! It is going to be a crazy couple of months full of LOVE. But before we can get these women married off, there is much celebrating to be had. This weekend marked the start of the craziness as we took my friend Jamie out on the town in Kansas City. We began with some spa services, a hotel gathering and out to Power and Light for some dancing and drinks. As my Dad says, I think we broke the fun barrier!

My friends are pretty and FUN!

I hope you all had a very fun and festive weekend!

Blogger Style

Jenny Galley of Denim Saloon in Dudee asked three Omaha bloggers to take part in a "blogger challenge" (if you will). We were asked to take the store's lavender Joe's jeans and style them to make it our own look. I tried a few looks and ended up deciding on this, which fit my style perfectly! I paired the lavendar jeans with a flowing detailed shirt (from the store) and added my own fringe Forever21 leather vest and jewelry. I love that this outfit could be dressed up or down. Add boots or flats and wear it to lunch with friends or add a bright lipstick, remove the vest and add a detailed necklace for datenight. I am so excited to see what the other ladies involved come up with. Until then oogle my outfit and get in to see Jenny for all of your jean needs and then some!

Actual text conversation between a friend and I  . . .

F: Felted  gray wool skirt that hits about the knee. Cute with black tights, ankle boots and a simple black top?
B: Yes! Or add a bright colored top to break it up!
F: What color would you do?
B: Love coral right now! Yellow?! What color are the ankle boots?
F: IDK I don't have any yet! :)
B: Haha what is this for?
F: I just have the cute skirt but no idea how to wear it!

Going Green

St. Patty's day is right around the corner and I, like many of my fellow Irishmen (for the day), will be celebrating in "green" style. This year I will be in Kansas City for a bachelorette party so the outfit choice this time around is a pretty big deal. I still haven't decided if I want to go with an all green get up with a neutral shoe or pick a neutral outfit and pair it with a fun green necklace.
