It's been 2 weeks and 1 day since the start of the new year. I have to say, I've made some good progress on the resolutions. I had a relatively stylish week at school (I wore heels 4 out of 5 days... for a gal on her feet for the greater part of 7 hours, that's an accomplishment!) and I actually accessorized. (Its AMAZING what you find in your closet when you plan your outfits the day before,

One of my New Year's resolutions was to get dressed and feel stylish again. I've been "getting back on the horse" this past week (ah, the last week of a 3 week break...) and I decided one of the easiest, cheapest ways to add a little zing to my wardrobe was to try a new manicure. Let's face it... nail polish is relatively cheap, and its temporary. I was inspired by this article

I went to the gas station today, and noticed the woman in front of me pumping gas. She was wearing natty sweats and an oversized sweatshirt... her hair was filthy oily. I couldn't help but wonder- when did we as a society stop caring so little about the image we present to the world? Please, don't think of me as someone who doesn't ever have "sloppy days." I do. When I'm at home. I try to clean

I've run out of inspiration after my first day back at work after a 3 week vacation (ahhhhhh...) so I thought I'd do one of these :)     A. Age:  26- almost 27 (in April) B. Bed size: Double. WAAAYYY too small with a dog who takes his half out of the middle and a fiance` that takes his half out of what's left over from the dog. C. Chore you hate: Vacuuming. I think because it's so loud!

There's just something about Rachel McAdams. She's beautiful, spunky, down to earth, and has a fantastic sense of style on the red carpet. (Don't believe me? Check out the stunners featured in this Glamour.com article) While I'm not that impressed with the interview done by the Glamour writer in the February issue, I was in love with the photo shoot they did- so sweet!

I love French Bulldogs, especially mine. His name is Kermit, and he makes my heart sing. He's only 7 months old, and he brings tons and tons of joy to my fiance` and myself- and our family. For your viewing pleasure: Frenchie videos ;) [None of these are my Kermit- we haven't filmed him yet!] I'm crazy about Frenchies!!!! They are the happiest little dogs, and whenever I see one, I just

I'm fortunate to suffer from acne as I enter my late twenties. (Yay! Great genes!) I finally got so sick of it (and my skin was getting some serious scarring), my dermatologist decided it would be acceptable to go on Accutane. Needless to say, my skin looks about 50 gazillion times better than it did before I started this regimen, and my skin care routine? Well, instead of 15 minutes, it takes

I got these pants from gap.com during their 25% off sales and clearance this past Monday. (They ended up being $13. What a steal!) The problem is... I am not sure how to wear them. I've never had a pair of pants like this before, in this material. Any ideas??? They are super forgiving and extremely comfortable... Its just the top half I'm struggling with! TGIF

I found a trend I'm dying to try in the January 2012 issue of Marie Claire: embellished collar oxford shirts. I found a fabulous one at ASOS but its on sale and not available in my size- alas! Have you seen anything like this in a reasonable price point? The Marie Claire issue featured shirts that were in the $300+ range... I just can't justify it! Happy Monday!!!!

I always feel ancient (at the ripe old age of 26!) when I step into Forever 21. Am I too old to shop there? Whens the "cut off," so to speak? Furthermore... has anyone else noticed hemlines getting shorter and shorter at F21? Or is that just me growing into an old hag? I felt especially creepy the other day when I stepped into Abercrombie & Fitch. I was the oldest woman there buying clothes for

My mom always swears that gift cards are a "cop out," and in some ways, I agree. But as someone who people swear is notoriously difficult to shop for, its nice to be able to get something I LOVE versus something that really doesn't do it for me. ("O, geesh, Mom- these boots are just... darling!") I received 3 gift cards this year- one from Macy's, one from Forever 21, and one from Land's End. I

Like many people, I find myself looking forward to the new year with a fresh outlook and a renewed sense of hope. It hasn't been a very happy year... there were some good things that happened, but I will definitely say that this year has been filled with some long valleys. A few resolutions... despite the setbacks, I know I can achieve them: 1) Finally lose those last 15 niggling pounds. I'm

"There's something about the outside of a horse that's good for the inside of a man." I read this quote years ago, and it resonated with me. Its so true... horses, at least for me, make me feel lighter, braver, happier, more alive. One horse, especially, did this for me. Her name was Tareana, and she was, quite literally, the first love of my life. I got her when I was 13 years old- I remember

I went to San Francisco on Saturday to celebrate my dear friend's birthday. It was so fabulous spending time with girls I love to laugh with. However, I have never laughed so hard in my life as I did last night. The bars were crowded on Polk Street last night, and I kept on getting shoulder checked by other women. Repeatedly. Finally, my friend Kali had ENOUGH of watching these rude girls and

Whoever says wedding planning is "fun" is "crazy." There is nothing fun about this... unless you can take time off of work and actually LIVE to plan this event. Of course, the meaning is beautiful. I can't wait to celebrate the day that marks the start of our new family together. However, the wedding industry is downright exorbitant. I mean, really! When someone hears the word wedding, they mark

Have you ever had someone break into your home?  I just did, today, at 11.30AM. Some drug addict posing as a newspaper salesman discovered I wasn't home, and decided it would be a great idea to go through my jewelry box AND my underwear drawer (which should explain the title of this post). Thankfully, my neighbors caught the son of a bitch (excuse the language, but that's the edited version) and

Lazy Saturdays sans the fiance` don't inspire me to get dressed up, but today, I had a wedding errand. I hate looking sloppy when I meet vendors, so I put a tiny bit of effort into looking (semi) polished today.  Isn't my new big backyard fab?! What I'm wearing:Payless Scarf, Steve Madden Aviators, Merona Microrib Tank, Secondhand H&M skirt (first time I've busted it out!), and ancient Steve

Things I Appreciate: A good book I've loved this book since the first time I read it. I've read it at least 15 times since then. I glean something new from Scout every time I crack it open. A beautiful paint color for a roomColor makes a space. This one changes with the light and goes with so many other colors. Better than ecru!!! A beautiful gown*Sigh* A creative spiritI am inspired by my aunt.

I'm not broke, but I will be. My fiance` and I are paying for our wedding. We just bought a house. Life is crazy. Something's gotta give, and I'm giving up expensive beauty products (for the most part...) until life is a little more stable. I've found some new faves- and if you have any you think I should try, please share!!! I'm a Proactiv user. Results were really good for the first few

I wish I could snap my fingers and it would be June. The wedding would be paid for, I'd be dressed in an AMAZING Amy Kuschel dress (haven't heard of her? You've got to visit her site!!!!) and I'd be getting ready for a honeymoon in Europe. If only it was that easy... Nevertheless, I have got to say that despite the headaches, there are some parts of the process I enjoy. First of all, check out

No photos (again.) No real content (again.) I did, however, want to reassure the blogosphere that I am indeed alive, although maybe not so fashionably. But with the end of the school year comes a kind of... not peace, but a slower pace, so I can finally focus on taking care of myself completely. Also, I kind of like the way I look a WHOLE lot more now. (25 missing pounds can do that for you :)

I've lost 25 pounds. I did it for myself. Now I want to continue to lead a healthy, fit life and help others. That's why I'm training with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training.

Spring is always crazy- CRAZY!- for agriculture teachers, and as I consider myself to be an ag. teacher, I haven't had much of a spring. A few tidbits of good news, however: I got a new camera for my birthday! And I'm 26! Yay! As far as pictures are concerned, I'm still a bit chipmunk-y from my wisdom teeth extraction last Wednesday (read: day after my birthday.) I have a wonderful fiance` who

I bought myself a new pair of jeans, as a present for my weight loss victory (click HERE if you want to read the post on my other blog.) I paid full price for these babies, but I don't feel any regret. As a matter of fact, I haven't felt this good about a clothing purchase in a long, long time. YAY, me! And here they are: $155 later, and my ass looks ah-mazing. (Side note:I'm particularly

Sorry for the hiatus. Sometimes, life takes over. Literally. My life has been (still is) utterly crazy- but I'm attempting to start doing stuff that makes me happy again, so I'm going to take a stab at this whole blogging thing.. One reason life took over- I felt fat. Disgusting. Icky. I had gained so much weight... so I started Weight Watchers, started exercising (again), and have lost 17lbs.

My friend Kali describes me as thrifty. At first I thought she was insane. I love to shop and spend money. But then I realized this girl may be on to something. Lindsay's Thrifty Shopping Rules: 1. When online shopping (which is my favorite method, FYI), check for coupon codes; www.retailmenot.com is a personal favorite.  2. Try to *Never* buy something unless its on promotion. 3. Use

Confession. My desktop computer is ancient. Really. 2004 was the last time my computer was considered new. Fact. I am too cheap to get a new one. Miracle? My USB port, after several weeks of being a total jerk, decided to work. Hmm. Here's what I wore today to sit and watch football for 7 hours in. (Thanks, boyfriend.) I hate football.But I love my boyfriend, so I suffered through it

I've been looking SUPER cute the last few days (if I do say so myself!) But by the time I get home, I'm so focused on being home that I forget to take a picture. It doesn't really matter anyway- my stupid computer doesn't recognize anything inserted into the USB ports. Time to get a new one, I suppose. Have a fabulous Thursday!!!!!

After a blast of shopping on the first paycheck, I've definitely slowed down and I'm working the stuff that I have with a few new accessories. (Gotta love F21...) But I just had to splurge!!!! Remember the fabulous striped blazer from Anthro that I just was about drooling over, but couldn't afford? (Check it out on the wonderful Chloe heeerrreee) Well, I found one from Spiegel.com for $39.

Again... apologies, apologies. I so appreciate those of you that follow me! I'm so sporadic lately. Its funny how a job (which sucks up your whole life 'til there's nothin' left...) will do that to you. A memorable outfit from Back to School Night: F21 jacket, Hanes tank, Express pants And I'm waffling- should I wear this tomorrow? Or are the margaritas taking over my common sense?????????

Its been too long. I'm so sorry. Since July 16, my world has been utterly topsy turvy. I've moved, started a new job, and had a death in the family. So, I'm sorry. Life took the front seat and everything else- the fun stuff- had to move back. Yesterday, I got my first paycheck. AWESOME! HORRAY! Welcome to grown-up-hood! And I bought myself a few presents- from Forever 21 and a darling boutique

I'm never sure how to paint my fingernails. Okay, that's a lie, I KNOW how to paint them, I just don't know what color to paint them. Should I match them to my toes? (I'm huge on having my toes painted- brights, darks, lights, I do it all...) Is it too matchy matchy if I do? Should toes and fingernails be in the same color family, at least? I guess I'm asking- what's the rule for painting your

I hate moving. I hate moving a lot. It stresses me out. And in the midst of moving/packing/sorting through my life, I'm having to drive over to my new town (2.5 hours!) for training at least 1-2 a week. Ah-nnoying. However, I did get to cut loose a little bit this weekend. My boyfriend's company participates in a conference in Monterey, and I got to tag along to dinners and after dinner drinks.

The next few weeks are going to be hectic (I'm moving for the 6th flipping time this year! and starting a new job in less than 20 days), but in the midst of chaos, I found something beautiful in the town I'm moving from.  Thanks to my parent's Garmin Nuvi (which is 4 years old, but new to me!), I took a new route to my new home town. And this is what I saw... before my camera died, I took a few

Sorry I've been absent for a few days- I was house hunting in my new town (and trying to figure out what to wear in 100F + weather). I hope you had a fabulous weekend- I'll be posting a little bit this week! :) Have a wonderful Sunday evening!

I know that its not even August yet. I know. But considering that I'm moving from an area with an average high of 75F to one with an average high of 95F, can you blame a girl for wishing it was October? I love sweaters- I wear them constantly in the fall and winter. But I hate when they pill. I haven't been able to find a product that takes care of business, if you know what I mean. I was

I got this quiz from another blogger, Kaelah, from Little Chief Honeybee. Her blog is great, and I though this quiz was really interesting. Click HERE if you want to take it! And if you know me, you might think this is prettyyyyy accurate... but maybe I'm biased! :) Happy Thursday!

1. You may have a plan. You may work really hard for that plan to work. The universe is still going to say "Eff you!" And all you can do is cope, and make lemonade (with a splash of vodka!) and smile. Because its going to be okay. 2. Honesty is the best policy, even though it may sting at first. 3. The Federal Government is going to take away too much of my paycheck. I'm all for a 10% flat tax

I hate feeling so "brand" uniform, but I did it today. Shame on me! But I really like all of these pieces, and I like all of them together, so... Wearing: Express Tank Top, Cardigan, Jeans... Vintage necklace from Balboa Jewelry (I got it my freshman year of college!), and BCBGeneration Shoes I bought for the ill-fated "dream job" interview.

French Bulldogs!  And my heart goes out to those dogs who need forever homes.  I love French Bulldog Rescue Network- they do such great work for these funny little dogs. They take in the long shots, the neglected, or the dogs who were loved but their families can't give them what they need anymore. This month, an Etsy shop is donating 10% of all proceeds to the French Bulldog Rescue Network.

Because its a small world, and I don't want to step on toes, I'm avoiding blasting this all over my Facebook- but I can do it here: I GOT A JOB!  I AM GAINFULLY EMPLOYED!  HALLELIUAH! So I'm pretty stinking excited. I felt so giddy, I had to buy myself a little treat :), because now, I can actually afford it!!!!!! Finally, FINALLY, my day has come!

I hate spending money on things right now, especially things I can't get "for cheap." But tonight, I had to bite the bullet and buy new bras. I went up a cup size and dropped a band size about 4 months or so ago, and now I've dropped a cup size and maintained my band size. (I'm now a 34D... eek!) (Way to go, workout schedule!) I tried on the Body by Victoria push up, and loved it. I also like

I'm literally never up this early. Goooooodddd morning, Sunshine! I was looking through my old posts, and I have to laugh at myself. I am SUCH a compulsive shopper. Whenever I'm feeling stressed, I just crumble and all of my good intentions vanish into thin air. Like when I'm fighting with Jensen or I'm panicked about getting a job. I just flip and start buying clothes in a (what I have to

Remember the havoc I wreaked on my favorite pair of jeans? I posted about them in late May. I got them on Friday, and I pretty much cried tears of joy. You almost (ALMOST) can't tell that they have been given major rehabilitation. And you definitely can't tell when I am wearing them. YAY!  You know that song, "Reunited and It Feels So Good?" Yeah, that's me. I practically skipped out of UPS

I did it. I took the plunge. I bought something on Etsy! I've been browsing for months, hemming and hawing and being non-committal, putting things in my shopping cart and then taking them out and then putting them back in and then taking them out... well, you get the picture. So even though I probably shouldn't have, I had to- I got this darling skirt from Ananya and I cannot wait to get in in

And I'm such a sucker, I always take a peek and end up getting a little something. And I was just complaining about being thrifty!!!

Sometimes, I wonder, why do I blog about clothes? Yes, I enjoy them, very, very much! But sometimes, like right about NOW, I torture myself with stuff that I simply can't allow myself to purchase....

I'm sorry for the absolute lack of posts lately. I'm in a battle with the down and out blues, and some days, I think they are going to take over and win. Its been a challenging two weeks.  I have learned that loyalty AND honesty means nothing to many people, and, that sometimes, hard work just doesn't pay off the way it should. I'm not saying that the qualities of loyalty, honesty, and a good

I'm sorry to say that I didn't take outfit pictures this week- I forgot my camera after all that. (But damn, I looked good! :) However, besides looking good, things didn't work out so well.

I'm serious, I can't wait to pick one that's just right- she promised me a long time ago that this would happen. So, I've taken the privilege of sussin' out the sitch- although the wedding is probably a year off! :) Yes, please.

I'll be gone this week because I'll be at a professional's conference in San Luis Obispo... so no daily blog posts. But when I get back, I'll post pictures of my outfits and see how well they worked- or didn't. Have a wonderful week... Tuesday is a big day for me, so keep your fingers crossed!

Its awfully hard finding something to wear to a job interview. Especially when every salesperson assures you that it looks fabulous. Nevertheless, I think I found some good stuff that will work not just for this interview, but for the career that will hopefully come out of said interview! :) I went to Ann Taylor Loft- and there is some great stuff on sale there!

Sorry, I'm going to go off on a negative spin for the next few minutes, because it seems like I take 1 step forward and about 15 back. Have you ever sat and wondered, why the $%&^ did I work so hard, because it has gotten me NO WHERE? I mean it- I worked my ass off in college.

Tracy, you are going to be so proud.  I have been so cheap lately! :) I bought those awesome colored jeans you featured on your blog- one pair didn't work, but a "watermelon" pair did. (I'm still hunting for teal... I think I may end up having too many bright colored jeans!!!!) Both pairs were for $20- yes, $20!  And on Monday, I headed over to my favorite resale shop in Monterey and found a

I think we all have something we're a little lazy about... maybe its doing the dishes. Maybe its responding to emails/facebook posts. Maybe its making the bed. For me, I'm freaking lazy about my hair. I mean, seriously, I'll pluck my eyebrows every day, I'll shave my legs every night, I ALWAYS wash my face (and its a go on the above mentioned items.)

Sometimes you reach a point with something where you're like, "What's the point?"  I've definitely reached that point with this blog.  I don't have tons of readers, I don't get many comments, and I probably don't dress as well as the millions of other fashion bloggers on this planet.  I'm not as cool as them- okay, that's a given. I'm also 10 lbs overweight and broke.  So why am I doing this?

Chin UP! I'm telling myself its going to be A-OKAY! For a few reasons: A) I'm humiliated by this... but I had to go to the Unemployment Office and request unemployment insurance. I just don't know when this is gonna end... B) Jobs are (very thankfully) posting which I am (very motivated and) applying for. C) Its summer time! Its time for more beach days!

I bought these crops from Julie of Orchid Grey- a steal at $12 (including shipping!) Love them, love them, love them!  I thought I was too afraid/lame/boring to wear colored denim, but its so fresh and on-trend right now, I just can't help myself. I now want a turquoise or teal pair (for not a lot of dough) so I'm keeping my eyes peeled. Jeans: Delia*s from Shop Orchid Grey's Closet. Scarf:

I'm not an expert at much, but I do consider myself an expert in this category. I have a THING for shoes. And when I say thing, I mean "I could wear new shoes every day and put them in their matching plastic storage boxes and then wear them maybe once more" and be completely satisfied. In fact, in a perfect world (one in which Jensen brings me blackberries from work every day and I can lounge

I wore the romper today. But I didn't photograph it, because my hair was acting all whack. (That's what happens when you are 2 weeks overdue, I guess. Flipping short hair. I want my long hair back, ASAP!) Have a wonderful Memorial Day! I'm now officially unemployed, so you know what I'm going to do on Tuesday? I'm going to the beach.  YESSSS!

Last May (almost a year ago to the day), I was walking to work in San Luis Obispo, minding my own business. I was minding my own business so well that I managed to trip over a train track. Okay, I didn't just TRIP- I ate it. I tore my knee up badly- so much so that I still have quite the scar- and walked around like a football player after a rough Friday game for several days.

And what do I do when I have drama? Well, one of two things. I either eat so much I feel like someone put an air pump into my stomach, or I shop. What did I do tonight? I went online shopping, naturally, as I have already eaten like a glutton for the greater part of 3 hours today. Super awesome, right? Way to go, Boyfriend. Way. to. go.

My thirst for shoes is never ending, but the reality of my limited paycheck is ever present. So, what do I do after I see a fabulous pair of shoes at Macy's? I'm on the freaking hunt. Online at stevemadden.com, macys.com, dillards.com, and endless.com, these shoes go for $99. That's not super expensive (I mean, compared to the Miu Miu pumps I'm dying for [see below- and they are no longer

(Inspired by Boston playing on the radio) "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, its more than a feeling..." ANYWAY. I'm going to try this out... I've got lots of clothing (and shoes and purses and jewelry), which leads to two quandaries: a. I don't wear everything I have b. I don't have room for everything I own I think I should probably try and sell some of the stuff

I'm starting to P.A.N.I.C. Its the beginning of May. June 2, school is OUT for summer, and I am OUT of a job. Subbing has been great (okay, sometimes great) while it lasted, but part of the problem with serving as a substitute teacher (along with the abuse that comes with the job...) is that it is "seasonal." Panic is setting in because NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING is being posted for employment

Oh, yes, I did! Is it regrettable? Of that I'm not sure. I need you to weigh in. I'm slightly embarrased, honestly, by this purchase. But I'm a big fan of easy dressing, and if this doesn't scream "I WAS REALLY LAZY THIS MORNING BUT WANTED TO LOOK LIKE I ACTUALLY CARED!", I don't know what does. Plus, I can't wear crap like this forever. So I might as well have some fun, right? Pink by VS

Its been a busy few weeks- with planning for classes, proctoring state mandated tests (its not as easy as it sounds, I promise), breaking up gang fights IN my classroom, and breaking up fights OUTSIDE of my classroom, I'm just not as energetic as I should be at the end of the day. Then I have these crazy busy weekends, which are super fun and recharge one battery (the fun battery), but don't

What an idiotic move. To "celebrate" my birthday, I decided I'd get in one last day of skiing. Oh, the weather was GORGEOUS! I was skiing in a tee shirt... so nice. Until I literally fell and ate snow and then started pounding said snow and screaming in pain. At one point, I was up, and then, almost instantaneously, I was down. And it hurt, hurt, hurt. I think I sprained my knee; fortunately,

Well... mostly just toes. I'm peculiar about some things. Like gross, chipped toenail polish. I mean, really- it takes 2.5 minutes to get it off. (And its easy to multi-task and do other things while you are fixing said chipped polish. M'kay?) Along with my irritation at chipped toe nail polish, I'm not very patient- I hate waiting for polish to dry, and I always move before the varnish dries

It's almost my birthday- the Big 25. Wow-za! 25 is such a milestone for some, but I don't think its going to be that way for me. I mean, I set these deadlines for myself at 18. These included: marriage, career, house, new car. This is the reality for me at 25: not married (but dating someone fabulous!), trying to get a job so I can start my career, renting, and driving the same car (with 163k

A whole lot, when my goal (since last December) has been to return to my high school graduation weight. (5'6", 135lbs.) I'm only 5.5 away- which is the closest I've been in a loooonnnngggg time- but I'm still not satisfied. Why? I'm not really sure. I thought that when I got this close to my magic number, I'd feel better about myself. Granted, I've dropped about 2 sizes since January so that,

I love Style Network, but I don't get it at home. Thankfully, my boyfriend does. Because I don't get Style Network, I've missed out on the new round of shows, and I have been missing a doozie- Jerseylicious! OMG... people actually dress like that? OMG... people actually tease their hair THAT big? I recommend watching it tonight at 10, simply for comedic value.

I wish I could have gone wine tasting this weekend, but its not really nice to share your germs with friends. So I am going to skip wine tasting in Paso Robles today (which is AWESOME, by the way- affordable, not to pretentious, and tasty!)

But I can't. Well, first of all, I really should be WORKING right now- but its much more fun to blog. I'm a very bad teacher. Oops. And, I'm sicky, sicky, sicky. :o/ I guess I'll just stay up late tonight... because with the weather this beautiful, I definitely DON'T want to work, just play play, play. (Although I can't do much of that, either...) Today was a wonderful day, really. Despite

Which leads me to my pet peeve- shoes that have received
