Paint Me Red and Call Me Sassy Pants!

Friday! How I love thee! You are here!

Yesterday, when I arrived home, I had a box on my doorstep! My husband was like, "What did you order now?" I said, "not sure", since it could be 1 of 4 things! LOL So he decided to open the box, and squealed with delight as he pulled RED PANTS from the box! He was so excited! Because they were just what he always wanted! And then I crushed his dreams, because I told them they were for me! Wah wah wah... HA.

Later on when I had a spare moment, I played with the pants. I tried a plethora of shirts and shoes on with them and made many outfits! I was feeling snazzy in these pants. They are hip, colorful and fun!  Love.

Here is me wearing them today:

Look at that face! That is the face of pure excitement! LOL Or not. But they are fabulous! This isn't even my fave outfit I came up with to wear these with, but it will do.  :)And darn these shoes---these are basically sitting shoes. One should not spelunker around the office in shoes like this. Hand me my slippers!

If you are contemplating to get pants in a new bright, pretty hue for the upcoming Spring season, here are the hottest color palettes for 2012:

Clearly I am all set on my "Poppy" pieces. I think my next color I am aiming for will be "Canary"! I love yellow! It's so happy! I don't think you can have a bad day if you are wearing yellow. I am pretty sure that is a rule. Plus it looks great with a tan---If you don't have a tan yet, then I suggest the "Geranium", which is a Coral color pretty much! Hint: "Coral" is a universally flattering color! Meaning it looks GREAT on everyone!

I wonder what kind of day wearing red pants will bring for me?

Well kids--- I hope your day is great! And whatever color clothing you are wearing, I hope it makes for a great Friday for ya!

XO!

Outfit of the Day!

Hi friends!

I know I said I only get spruced up on Fridays, but today, I was feeling ambitious! Plus my new red blazer was calling my name while hanging in my closet! It was like "Michelle, I want to come out and play!" And so I obliged the cool piece of clothing, and plucked it from it's hanger, and put it on! And we were both happeh.

So this is one of the pieces I mentioned that you should make one of your Spring pieces of clothing goals! I am so happy I found this at H&M. I will wear the crap out of it. 

Here is little ol' me wearing this darling jacket:

What is on my lower half you ask? I will give you 2 guesses-- DING! That is right! My black leggings. HA! But don't you worry my little pretties, because my new red pants are en route as we speak! And I will be wearing the crap out of those as well. And when I get them, you will know! Oh yes. Oh yes!

Just wanted you to see the awesome red blazer in all of it's glory! Isn't it rad?

Well carry on with your day, my friends! I will be working on another video soon! On what? Not sure! But I have a list that I have going, so I will close my eyes, point, and pick one out:)

Kisses and Hugs, and AWESOME RED BLAZERS! wooooooooot

Top 5 Spring Pieces to Buy Right NOW!

Hi Everyone!

Today I wanted to discuss the top 5 Spring pieces to purchase right now, and how to incorporate them into your current Winter wardrobe!

It's always great when it's freezing cold outside, and you are shopping in your favorite store, and low and behold a rack full of Spring clothes, and bathing suits, are right there in front of you! You think to yourself, "Why the heck are these things out now?" and "Why does this store taunt me with these floral prints, breezy sundresses, and sleeveless tops when it is snowing out, and I am in a parka with chapped lips?" But I am here to say, that the early arrival of these items can be bought right now! And even worn right now! YES folks, there is a method to this madness!

P.S. It is already Spring in my head when I spot the first package of Cadbury Mini Eggs! MMMMMMMMMMM

Here are the top 5 Spring pieces you should add to your closet, and how you can add them to your current wardrobe right now:

1. Navy Blue or Red Blazer
This is essential to your Spring Wardrobe! I got mine in Red. But if you are not as adventurous as that, find it in Blue, or even a Nude color! You will be amazed at how many things you can pair a blazer with!



2. Strapless Dress-in a fun print!
You can wear this dress with your blazer, and leggings, and boots for right now! And then in the Spring you can wear it with a cool pump and your blazer! And then it flows right into summer with a cute sandal! If you don't want to bare your arms, there are plenty out there with sleeves!



3. Floral Printed Tank Top

This will be great paired with a blazer, or a cozy cardigan! You can wear it with jeans, leggings, or even those bright colored jeans. And of course is an essential piece for Summer too! You can get a lot of miles out of this! Buy it in whatever print, or floral print you'd like!

4. Flowy Charmeuse Blouse

Besides being super comfy and figure flattering, this is a great piece to have in your Spring collection! You can pair it with so many things! Leggings, pants, skirts, oh my! You can get it in black or white, or a fun bright color! I got one in black with fun white polka dots! 

 

5. Bright Colored Jeans/Pants

Consider these pants your new black leggings! You can find them in many bright colors right now-Royal blue, Red, Magenta, and Yellow!

Those are the top 5 Spring items to purchase right now. They will carry you through this season, and the next as the weather changes! I have found these items in a ton of different stores! Old Navy, H&M, Target, Marshalls/TJ Maxx, JC Penny and Kohls. I am sure you can find things similar to these in whatever stores you fancy!  Happy shopping!

Kiss, Hug and warmer weather approaching!

Outfit of the day!

This week I spent half of the week in my jammies, since my wee-lad was sick, so it was nice to get dolled up today for work, plus who doesn't like looking cute on Friday's? I figured I would share what I am wearing today!

The Piece's:

Black Blazer: bought at H&M many moons ago
Blue Shirt with studs, and the arms are actually open, but I covered it with the blazer for work appropriate-ness;)--This was bought from JCPenny, many moons ago-- by Arden B
Black Leggings--I have no recollection of where I purchased these from
Black "chain" booty shoes-I bought these from Kohl's a couple years ago, and they are by Simply Vera
Earrings: Long silver chains--these make me feel like a rock star! They touch my shoulders:)

The Look:

XO, and cute outfits on Fridays!

Now go to the next post to see my video's peeps!  ;)

What am I wearing?

Good morning, my sunshiney friends!

It's Friday!! (feel free NOT to sing that one annoying Friday song since it gets stuck in my head). On the weekday mornings I only get about 15-20 minutes to get ready! YIKES! So I have gotten pretty nifty at throwing together fun, cute things in a jiffy! Imagine watching a pit crew go to work on changing tires--it's similar to how our mornings go! Thank goodness for my awesome hubby and our team work at getting all 3 of us out the door---!

This morning, I was feeling like being in comfy, yet funky mode! Here is what I am wearing today:)

Yoga pants, long layering tanks--and one of my fave pieces, my leopard print cardigan with ginormous pockets! LOVE! Oh and my touch of funk=my floppy black knit hat, fun necklace (forgot to take my badge off lol) and my fake tortoise shell glasses:) FUN!

Well I hope you all are having a fabulous Friday morning so far!

Kiss, Hugs and LEOPARD print everything!

XO

Outfit of the Day!

Hello there!

Welcome to my first edition of "What is she wearing?" Actually I don't think that will be the name, but you get my drift. 

This is the dress! The one from H&M that I just bought for a mere $17.80! I love it so.

Today I am wearing it with thick black tights, my black pumps, a black and gold necklace, black bracelets and some black and gold earrings. (btw--it has a gold zipper down the back (not all the way), so that is why I went with the black/gold motif. And my red lips of course:)

Oh but the plans I have for it are many! And great! So many changes we can make to this dress! I can change it's look in the matter of seconds! I can pair it with a cool blazer; or boots, nude pumps, bright colored pumps! Fun colored tights or a scarf; or a jean jacket, or a cozy cardigan; or chunky belted sweater! Or who knows! Even in the spring/summer this could be worn. It is a thick, but not too thick, cotton stretchy dress-- it may look cute with some flat gladiator sandals and a fun large tote! The possibilities are endless! If i had no other dress to wear, but this-- I could turn it into something new every day of the week:) So needless to say, I am pretty exstatic about this treasure of a find. Run! Run now, to your nearest H&M and snag you one before the whole world discovers it's awesomeness!

Kiss, Hugs, AWESOME DRESSES, and Makeup  :)



It's going to feel like Christmas all over again!

Why is it going to feel like Christmas for me? Because I just checked tracking for my Sephora order--and it will be here tomorrow! SUPER YAY! I ordered the new Urban Decay Naked2 Palette! I have Naked1, (it's my makeup BFF) so I am thrilled for this one! Is there room in my life for 2 makeup BFF's? Of course there is!

= BFF's 4 EVAH

Tomorrow I am also going to be wearing a really cute outfit. I got an awesome dress from H&M that is so versatile, and only $17.80! (I will post pics of all the looks I can do with it).  I wish there was a pic of it on their site so I could give you a sneak preview, but there isn't. BOOO. So I will make sure to share it with you for sure.

Tomorrow is going to be grand already, I can feel it!

XO
