Old Navy Haul

Turns out I can't take pictures of clothing to save my life so I decided to use the pictures off the website instead. OldNavy.com had some good sales going on in addition to free shipping and a coupon code for 15% OFF so all in all... I had to get a few things! 

Sequin Embellished Tee in Cast Iron $12.00

I'm slightly obsessed with sequins. And this color. So pretty! Not exactly spring-y but that's okay :)

Key-Hole Crochet-Trim Blouse in Crocodile Tear $9.00

I really like the color of this and the detailing along the neckline but it's super long on my and I can't decide how unflattering it is. This might be returned.

Hardware-Trim Blouse in Calla Lilly $8.50

I love the hardware along the sleeves, they are brass studs.

Twill 3/4 - Sleeve Blazer in Sandlot $37.00

I love the white and yellow pinstripe cuff on the sleeves. The material is pretty thin which means I will be able to wear this all summer!

Ruffle-Tier Jersey Cardigan in Into The Blue $9.00 

Omg, I love this cardigan! I didn't know how much I would like it just looking at it on the site but actually on I love it! It's such a pretty blue and I love the material and the ruffles!

Satin-Trim Rib-Knit Cardigan in Black Jack $8.00

I already had this cardigan in white and plum so I thought I might as well get it in black because I love the style and who doesn't need another black cardigan. I did realize it is a knit cardigan, my others aren't. It's must thicker than my others. It's also super long. I think once I wash it and it shrinks a little it will fit better.

Sequin Stripe Cardigan in Marshmallow $8.50

*Please Note*

This picture is not the color Marshmallow but Marshmallow isn't available anymore so I had to settle for this picture. The sequins are the same but the fabric is white.

That's all for now!

TAG: This or That

Hey Everyone! I hope you had a fabulous weekend! I spent mine hanging out at my parent's house. It was nice to get out of this little town I call home.

So here we go with this fun beauty TAG :)

MAKEUP

Blush or Bronzer: I love using them both but I think I use bronzer more.

Lip gloss or Lipstick: Lip gloss is what I use most often

Eyeliner or Mascara: This one is hard but I think I have to choose eyeliner, I think it makes the biggest impact on my entire look.

Foundation or Concealer: Definitely foundation. I have some acne and an uneven skin tone which is most easily fixed with foundation.

Neutral or Color eyeshadow: As much as I wish I could say I'm always trying new and bold colors on my eyes, I'm all about neutrals. I love a neutral smoky eye.

Pressed or Loose eyeshadow: Pressed. I own loose shadows, but I find pressed to be easier to work with.

Brushes or Sponges: Brushes! I love brushes! I do occasionally use sponges for packing on color and things like that but for the most part I use brushes for everything.

NAILS

Long or Short: I think short nails look more polished, practical, and better with all shades of polish but I will be forever jealous of girls who can grow long pretty nails.

Acrylic or Natural: I looove acrylic nails. But not crazy long or eccentric nails, just simple short/medium length, slightly squared off acrylic nails.

Brights or Darks: I love them both but would have to choose brights. I'm so safe with the rest of hair, makeup, and wardrobe that I feel like bright nail polish is my way to color outside the lines.

BODY

Perfume or Body Splash: Perfume! I love the bottles they come in, the pretty smells, how long lasting they are. I feel like they are my own little luxury because I try to be so frugal with everything else. When I am spritzing some on after I have gotten completely ready for the day I feel like one of those movie stars in the black and white movies. Cheesy, yes. The truth, yes!

Lotion or Body Butter: Body butter. I know lotion is more practical, but body butter is so luxurious and creamy and moisturizing.

Body Wash or Soap: Body wash. I'm not a bar of soap kind of girl. I like the bubbles and lather or body wash.

FASHION

Jeans or Sweatpants: Sweatpants all the way. They are comfortable, can be fashionable, and they are my own little safety blanket after a bad day or from "that time of the month." They make everything better :)

Long or Short sleeve: Neither. I prefer somewhere in between.

Dresses or Skirts: Dresses! They are so feminine and classic and there are so many different styles.

Stripes or Plaid: I have always loved plaid and I think I always will.

Flip Flops or Sandals: Sandals Sandals Sandals

Scarves or Hats: Scarves. I have a million of them and I love to wear each and every one of them.

Studs or Dangly earrings: I used to always prefer dangly earrings but lately I can't get enough of studs.

Necklaces or Bracelets: Necklaces for sure. I think they make an outfit.

Cowboy boots or Riding boots: Riding boots. I think cowboy boots are very cute but can so easily go wrong and look ridiculous. Riding boots are so classic. I think they look so cute over a pair of dark jeans, with a blazer and an ultra-feminine blouse.

Jacket or Hoodie: Jacket. My heart will always love jackets.

Heels or Flats: Heart says heels, feet say flats. I love to buy heels but they don't get worn much.

Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe: Forever 21 because they have the best accessories ever.

Saks 5th avenue or Nordstrom: Nordstrom I guess. Not that I really shop there either, but if I had to choose.

HAIR

Curly or Straight: I prefer right in between, Wavy!

Bun or Ponytail: Bun!

Bobby Pins or Butterfly clips: Bobby pins

Hair spray or Gel: Hair spray. Gel is too heavy.

Long or Short: Long!

Light or Dark: I have always had blonde hair and I love being a blonde.

Side-Swept or Full bangs: Full bangs bring back horror stories of my childhood, I prefer side-swept.

Up or down: I think I look prettier with my hair down but that's just my opinion, many people look gorgeous with their hair up.

(That's my brother and I at his wedding.)

RANDOM

Summer or Winter: Summer. I live in an area with snowy frigid winters, so hands down SUMMER!!

Fall or Spring: Although I do enjoy Fall, Spring is my absolute favorite. Sunny skies and a cool breeze and the end of winter, doesn't get better than that!

Chocolate or Vanilla: Chocolate always! Yummm.....

East or West coast: West, it's the only place I've ever lived and it's generally warmer. I don't like cold.

What are your answers to these questions? Which ones would you answer the same or differently?

I hope you enjoyed and I will talk to you soon!

My birthday festivities!

So in honor of graduating from teenage-hood (as my sister so lovely put it), I decided labor day weekend would actually be Me Weekend!! haha I'm not full of myself at all.

Friday (The Big Day)

I had to go to work but it worked out nicely because I was training a new guy and all I had to do was supervise him doing all my work. It doesn't get any better than that. We had a pot luck and birthday cake, not the most glamorous birthday lunch but I'm not complaining. I got off work at 3:30pm but my hubby had to work late so I had a few hours to just relax and pamper myself. The husband got home around 7:00pm and he took me on a picnic up the canyon. We ate on a blanket in the grass near the river and we were the only ones around. It was such a pretty evening. I got to open birthday presents and my hubby got me a new purse and 3 new perfumes. Then he took me to the Drive-In and we saw Charlie St. Cloud. (Which wasn't too bad.) Then off to sleep we went.

Perfume!! Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, and Guess

Saturday

We went up to my parents for the rest of the weekend. I dropped my husband off at his parents and met my brother for lunch. He took me to this awesome panini shop called Jaxies. I can't wait to go there again because the food was awesome and the people that work there are so friendly! After eating we went to Walgreens and Rite Aid and I did birthday shopping. We picked up the hubby and ended up going to trade in my Chevy Cobalt for a Chevy Malibu. After our spontaneous trip to the car dealership, we went to my parents for dinner, cake, ice cream, and more presents! I got some pretty clothes from my mom and dad, a Candies brand lotion and body spray set from my sister, and a really cute pig stuffed animal from my aunt. (I have this thing for pigs, I love them!) Later that night we went over to my Aunt and Uncle's and hung out with some of extended family.

Sunday

Church in the new dress I got for my birthday. Then we spent the afternoon at my Hubby's parents before going back to my Aunt and Uncle's for a big family dinner. I had so much fun hanging out with my family and seeing my cute little cousins who came all the way from Arkansas. After dinner we went back to my parent's and my hubby, cousin, her husband, and I played card games and hung out.

Monday

I went out and about with the husband and we stopped for lunch at this delicious BBQ place. Then it was off to dinner with his family. And finally back to our own little home and the real world.

It was nice to have a relaxed weekend full of family, fun, and food I didn't have to cook! This past Saturday I got a birthday present in the mail from my siblings who live in other states. They all pitched in and got me a brand new Coastal Scents 88 shimmer eyeshadow palette!!! I posted back in July about how mine broke before I ever got to use it and "a little birdy" *;)* told them how bummed I was so they got me a new one!

That sums up my birthday weekend. I had so much fun and I love all the gifts my family got me. Now I'm twenty and I have a whole new decade to look forward to.
