Outfit Post: Farewell 2013

I cannot believe 2013 has come to an end. It seriously feels like it was just last NYE...where does the time go?! Tonight I am spending time with my family and going to eat and having a bon fire. I couldn't think of a better way to ring in the new year. I also couldn't help but wear these pants...I mean...they scream NYE :) I hope all of you have a wonderful New Years I am so thankful for each and every one of you.

Outfit Post: Lace Lady

When I saw this top at Junky Trunk the other day, I could not leave without taking it home with me. I absolutely love the "Free People" vibe plus those sleeves are to die for. I wore this {and I'm still wearing it now} to breakfast at The Camelback Inn with Jeff's family today. I absolutely love that place. It's become a tradition to go there around the holidays and I cannot complain. Breakfast is my favorite type of food!

I'm in love with this little Kotah Bear necklace. They have the most amazing quality Native American jewelry. And anyone who know's me knows that I am obsessed with any type of Native American/turquoise jewelry. LOVE! Check out their site {here}.

Outfit Post: Statement Piece

I about died when I received this gorgeous statement necklace {among other gorgeous pieces} from the ever-so-talented Raptor Jewelry. She is beyond amazing, just like this necklace. I decided to go casual on everything else to make it stand out even more. I love the colors in this look.

Outfit Post: Chestnuts Roasting...

Today was filled with working all day and trying to catch up on sleep with a little cat nap. I am so incredibly tired from starting my new job/graduation etc this week! Graduation was so amazing yesterday! I can officially say I am an ASU grad and alumni. WHAT?! So crazy. {photos of that are coming tomorrow} Here is what I am wearing today.

I have been super into experimenting with light lately on my camera and tonight was no exception. I taught my mom how to take photos tonight and I think they turned out great! Such an awesome job for her first try, practically professional! :) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Outfit Post: Always Sparkle

One of the biggest challenges {I think} of having a blog, business or anything that you personally create is having it in the public eye. It sounds quite odd for me to say that because why else would you have a blog or business?! Of course you want to market your company, but putting your whole heart and soul into something then basically letting it out into the world is scary! People will look at it. People will judge it. Heck people will be mean and everyone will have an opinion! Two things I promised myself when I started blogging was to always stay true to myself and have fun! Having a blog is my outlet to be creative and I am so passionate about it. That is what is so amazing about blogs, small businesses, entrepreneurs etc. Everyone is unique and creative in his or her own way. Anyways, basically this whole thought occurred to me when I received this inspiring tee from Lola & Darla Designs. Always Sparkle. No matter what anyone has to say or think never let anyone dull your shine, be yourself + ALWAYS SPARKLE.

There is just something lovely about lace, flannel/plaid + leather. I love the combination of all three! I wore this outfit when I was out running errands today. How gorgeous is this Charming Damsel headband. I love the flecks of sliver in it! So perfect for the holidays :)
