Pop of color

Even though it is becoming very cold and dark up here, it's still fall and I refuse to fall into the all black boring clothes! I am determined to still find a way to add a beautiful pop of color. So pairing my new clearance steals with this orange sweater just makes it me feel brighter!

Sweater - Old Navy

Blouse - American Eagle

Jeans - Old Navy

Boots - I've had them a long time I can't even remember where I got them!

Old Navy steal

During my weekly trip to Old Navy I didn't really have anything in particular I was looking for. That's when I stumbled upon two pairs on skinny jeans, a dark denim wash and a white denim. At $9.99 and $16.99 I just couldn't pass them up! These are such staple jeans, you can pair them with a big slouchy sweater and boots or dress them up with pumps and some layered top with a nice statement necklace!

Rose Gold Obsession

I officially have a new obsession, and it's just in time for my birthday! Why I have never realized how amazing rose gold is I don't know, but it is amazing! I found this Michael Kors watch first and totally fell in love, so I had to find the perfect pieces to go with it!

Makeup Board

I’ve had a lot of people asking me how I made my magnetic make up board, so here is a supply list and a step by step of what I did!

Supplies

• A  backless picture frame 18 x 12 ( I got mine from Michaels on clearance )
• A thin piece of steel 18 x 12 (I got mine from Lowes, they had it precut in the Mill Work dept)
• Circular magnets (I also got those at Michaels)
• Black spray paint (I used satin finish from Michaels)
• Hot glue gun
• Make up
• Aluminum can or cup to hold brushes (anything will work)

Step by step

• Step 1 – Spray paint the piece of steel (let dry)
• Step 2 – I placed my piece of steel in the frame and used my hot glue gun to make a very thick coat all around the piece of steel to hold in into place against the frame
• Step 3 – Hot glue magnets to the back of all your make up and any cups or trays you want to hold brushes

And thats it! 3 easy steps that in total, with dry time of the spray paint only took about an hour!

Bubble Necklace

Well I've had my eye on the J. Crew bubble necklace for quite some time now, but I just couldn't make up my mind on which color I wanted so I kept putting it off. Well I finally made up my mind and ordered it! I am so excited, I am very anxious for it to come! I have already been scouring my closet for outfits to compliment this statement piece! 

Welcome

Have you ever walked into your closet and felt like you had nothing to wear? Of course you have, I think everyone feels like that probably on a daily basis if you're anything like me! I would walk into my closet and stand there for a solid 5 minutes looking at the tons of clothes hanging in my closet. Until one day I realized, this is crazy, I have a million things to wear its just that I don't necessarily always see how to put items of clothing together to make a cute outfit! So I decided I was going to take control of my closet. 

My first step was research, to find the perfect organizational system that fit my closet! I broke out one of my favorite books, Style by Lauren Conrad. (If you do not own this book, BUY IT, it is totally worth the money) I went right to her chapter on organizing your closet and did exactly as she said! Step 1 Take everything out of your closet. Step 2 set up set up 3 different piles, Keep, Donate, Throw away. For step 3 I might suggest enlisting a friend or two, because before you put anything in a certain pile, TRY IT ON! If it doesn't fit or you don't like the way it looks there is no sense in keeping it! While doing this in my closet I realized I needed some baskets for scarves and belts, I also brought in a small two self book case to put shoes on to maximize space and functionality of my closet! Once you finish all three steps and you have all your cloths separated you can begin to refill your closet. I personally like to fold my denim and pants and keep them on the shelves above all my tops. As for my tops I hang them, I also try to keep dresses together, tanks together, short sleeve, then long sleeve, then sweaters. (I used to separate by color but I decided to try something different and it seems to be working so far) 

Once my closet was cleaned out and reorganized I already felt like I had more control over my closet. So with my new found confidence of a organized closet I began to pick out my outfit for the day. The Mr. and I were going bowling, so it was casual, and it was also a little chilly out.
