770

So 

maybe I'm a little obsessed with J.Crew. 

The colors!

the undone hair!

the classiness!  

What's not to love?

but today

i think i found something

that may occupy A LOT of my weekend time

Enjoy. 

770/Behind the Line

Pretty

I've always considered myself more of a tom-boy 

and less of a girly-girl. 

But boy do all these pretty things just make me want to surround myself with 

ruffles, lace and beautiful flowers.

Funny how things change when you get older. 

Check out more of what I'm talking about here. 

Our Weekend In Food

Saturday morning was the best. 

Steven and I have had to work all day for the past few Saturdays

but not this weekend

this weekend we slept in late

and to celebrate our not having to work this weekend

as well as Steven's completion of his first week of classes

yay!

We decided to cook delicious things all weekend long! 

 Yum!

Pancakes with cinnamon peach syrup

(and not the "just add water kind" of pancakes) 

Saturday night dinner we almost didn't get a picture of

it went so fast

Baked chicken with pasta, stewed tomatoes instead of regular marinara, and fresh parm cheese. 

oh and dont forget the garlic bread and fresh green beans

(my husband really knows how to make the best pasta dishes ever!) 

We then watched reruns of our favorite tv show, Psych,

and husband and i rosted some mallows over an open flame....or our stove top. 

with the lights off to add to the glowing "fire" effect of the element. 

:) 

Sunday morning I rediscovered my FAVORITE breakfast/treat

Tillamook vanilla bean yogurt over fresh sliced strawberries. 

You seriously have to try it. 

The Tillamook yogurt is what makes it so special from just regular yogurt and fruit. 

Try it! 

Sunday evening after church we went on a L-O-N-G walk

almost 2 hours. 

but it was such a beautiful day!

We ended up at the duck pond and steven fed them his cheese its that he had brought to munch on. 

they were to busy doing tai chi though to eat much of anything. 

Well there you have it. 

What yummy things did you guys cook up this weekend?

Attention! Attention!

It has come to my attention that I am the worst at keeping a blog.
period.
Hopefully though, I will be able to change that.
I have been thinking a lot about why i want to keep a blog
and one the main reasons right now is to help me document and work on
my personal style.
(even though i've only posted a few outfits thus far)

Right now i'm in a serious rut.
Style wise.
I wear the same black slacks to work
every day!
Dont worry. I wash them regularly
But still.
I miss color.
and Texture


Having a sense of style has always been important to me.
And lately i have had a really hard time doing much of anything besides
dark dark dark
black
white
dark.


I'm so boring you guys!


So this is it!
The final straw!

I'm throwing safe out the window.
I'm going to try new things
rework my closet
and become the fashionable 20something year old I want to be.
(at least way more fashionable then where i'm sitting right now)

So thanks for being here
and helping me know what works
and what only worked in my head
:)


Wish me luck.
I'm going to need it.

Sunny Day...

Sunshine & All day with Husband?

Sunday was the Best!! 

(Sweater: Old Navy, Dress worn as Skirt: Nordstrom Rack, Belt: Thrifted, Shoes:DSW) 

Also, 

Check out my amazingly talented and gorgeous sister-in-law's blog

AFancyDay

She had the brilliant idea to make over others using things from their own closets! 

neat right?

And I was luck enough to be her test subject. 

She dressed me up so fancy and even convinced me to wear a few crazy shades of lipstick.

It was so fun! 

Check it out why don't cha. 

Today

Husband asked me out on a date for lunch.

We walked all around downtown.

I wanted to stop and take a few pictures at this window.

I thought it was neat.

Husband wanted to join in the fun too.

I told him he could do whatever he wanted.

So he made a moose face

What a fun date downtown.

Halloween

Well I know it's been a while since I last posted.

but here is what we did for the halloween festivities.

Steven and I made our own costumes this year.

Can you guess what Steven was?

That's right.

A love boat!

Can you guess what I was?

Who said chicken?

Yay for you!

You're right!

Chicken!!
