I'm in love with Rachel Bilson's style. Who would have thought to pair floral, red, & leopard!?  I found this picture in a magazine many moons ago.  I ripped it out and placed in my extremely unorganized inspiration pile.  I was determined to make this outfit happen!  Next...red pencil skirt.

I hope everyone has a LOVELY weekend!

I have a serious crush on these cropped pants! Gap calls the color Vermilion. Their a cross between red and orange.  I have to admit, I didn't put as much effort in my debut of these pants as I wanted. Monday's aren't always my best days.  I'll try something a bit edgier next time you see these.    

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! 

Week 3

Worn Friday night.

My new job has been the hot topic on my blog lately. I can't help it!  This is week 3 and it's going wonderfully.  I am crazy busy and love every single second of it. I'm surrounded by such amazing positive people here. I feel like I'm in a whole new world!  I've been trying to get in the swing of my new work schedule trying to balance it with my personal life. Man, it's harder the older you get!  I feel like I never have enough time in my day.  I'll figure it all out soon enough. Thanks homies for putting up with me being so distant.  I'll be back around soon, promise.

No, I didn't rock the red pants to work. I will though! Just give me time.  I wore this number to my besties' little girls first b-day party.   Can you tell me a better way to debut a pair of red pants? I didn't think so. 

Don't give up on me yet! I promise to have regular posts soon.  I am just trying to get in the swing of things at work. Exciting news though! My first event is in Vegas in March! We are planning an awards party in-conjunction-with Global Shop.  GlobalShop is the world’s largest annual event for retail design and shopper marketing. Pretty exciting stuff!

Another festive outfit! This is one of my favorite winters skirts. It goes with just about anything and it sparkles! What woman doesn't love something that sparkles? I have to admit, all of this holiday eating is making my clothes a bit snug.  It's not even Chrstmas yet! I thought holiday food was calorie free!?!

Finally! I can talk about my news!!

I recently accepted a new Event Planning position outside of Kroger.  This is such a big step for me and my career.  The company provides industry trade publications such as books, magazines, and websites.  They host a big event for each trade magazine that I will be responsible for. The magazines focus on retail design, graphic design, and boutique hotel design. Right up my alley!  I get to work closely with the publishers and the marketing department to develop these events from scratch.  I start January 9th.   I feel like the position was tailored just for me!  I can't say just yet, but I'm thinking this could be my dream job :)

Better Late Than Never!

I know I know, I'm behind on my posts. Stop yelling.  Better late than never, right?  This was my Wednesday outfit.  I had just enough time to snap pictures before fixing a feast for my favorite men in the world...Dad, my brother (Adam), and Drew. I made some killer sketty and parmesan garlic bread. Yummo. I swear all my stress and bad days are forgotten when hanging with those guys.

I picked this bag up a long time ago at a thrift store. I'm in love with it but I hardly ever carry it.  I'm a, however,  a very loyal bag/purse carrier. I get a new one and fill it with all my necessities and nonsense and end up carrying it until  it becomes a never ending garbage pit.  I have so many to choose from, not sure why I do that.   It's amazing what a simple clutch or bag can do for an outfit.  I've decided  to start incorporating different ones  into my outfits each day.  What's the point of having them if I'm not going to use them? Right?
