WIWW: Getting ready for Thanksgiving!

It's been a crazy week. {And I'm happy that the craziness is almost over.} I have to work a couple hours this morning and then I'm off to spend 5 days with my family for Thanksgiving. It will be a much needed break. I can't wait to see my parents, my Grandma, my brothers and sis in law. To play our traditional holiday games, play in the snow, swim in the beautiful indoor pool and just enjoy each others company.

Yesterday I was finishing our last minute errands and this is what I wore:

Sweater and blouse: Target. Pants: Ross. Boots: Torrid. Watch: Michael Kors. Washer Necklace: Made by me using supplies sent to me from my awesome Package Pal.

I am so excited for Thanksgiving. And to be going to a secluded ski resort so I can't even think about Black Friday shopping.

What are your plans for Thanksgiving? Do you do the whole Black Friday thing?

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

WIWW: Wendover Edition

This past weekend it was one of my besties birthday. She always goes all out for her Birthday. And this year, especially since it was her Dirty Thirty, was no exception. We all loaded the Party Bus and headed to Wendover, NV.

Blazer, Pants & Boots: Ross, Blouse & Bracelet: Target, Necklace: Lucky via Macy's, Watch: Fossil

I have never been on the Party Bus before and it was quite the experience. Our group made up for 75% of the people onboard so that was awesome. And there was a proposal! {No one we knew} But a lady proposed to her boyfriend on our way out to Wendover. Epic.

We only spent a couple hours there. The group all kinda went their separate ways once we got there, but Whitney and I stuck together. We hit up the buffet, yelled out numbers for {other} people to bet on at the roulette tables, danced a bit, lost $2 on the penny slots and people watched. I'm sure we were the biggest party animals there. Ha. But it was a great time.

Thanks for being born Nicole, so we have a reason to celebrate like this every October. I love you like crazy. Happy Dirty Thirty! {You still pass for 21!}

WIWW: Rooftop Edition

Friday was the last show in the Rooftop Concert Series. They always make for a splendid evening, and not ready to give them up until next summer we decided it only right to make a date night out of it. After dropping the kids off with my awesome in laws we headed out.

The weather was crisp and perfect. {I love fall}. The skies were clear and the venue is amazing. It was a night of outdoor music, deliish food from Black Sheep Cafe and hanging with my bestie.

Dress: Gap, Sweater: Torrid, Leggings & Earrings: Nordstrom, Boots: Ross, Necklace: Target

 We topped the evening off with a trip to Target. It was a great night: Date night with my Scotty, Concert, Autumn weather, yummy food and Target. Doesn't get much better than that.

WIWW: Book Club Edition

I know this is a day late. But yesterday was crazy busy. Shopping, cleaning, baking, Activity Days and then Book Club. I didn't have time to post, but I'm actually posting What I Wore on WEDNESDAY this week. Not just what I wore sometime during the week and posting on Wednesday. So it totally counts.

You all know how I love my book club. It's pretty much the coolest book club around. (We call it a book club cause it makes us sound smart.) Ha. No we really do read and chat about the book (even if it's only for 5 minutes some months.--It really depends on the book). But telling our husbands that we 'Have Book Club tonight" sounds better than "I need my fix of girl chat, gossip and calories."

Anyways, my lovely friend Dari hosted this month and it was a blast. She is always a great host. We always have dinner at Book Club and one of our favorite things to do is a Salad Bar and all bring a bunch of different toppings. We did that again this month and it was delicious. I also picked up some donuts from Beyond Glaze and they made a yummy dessert. This past month we read Cinder by Marisa Meyer.

After dinner/vent session/gossip/girl chat/book talk we did some crafting. We all made some glitter pumpkins. We chatted for too long to by the time we started the craft it was pitch black. So for blindly crafting I think they turned out pretty rad. (Thanks Dari for setting it up and buying all the supplies!)

Some of my BCB's. 

Dari chose The Fault in Our Stars by John Green for our next book.

Do you have a book club? Read anything good lately? I am hosting next month which means I get to pick the book next month so I need some suggestions.

WIWW: SOA Edition v2

I took pictures of a number of outfits this week, but as I sit here and scroll through them this is my favorite. Not sure if it's the outfit that is my favorite or because of the fact that it involves date night and Sons of Anarchy, but none the less it's the one I'm choosing to post this week.

Last night we again went to Brewvies for SOA on the big screen. (this is going to be a weekly thing for the next couple months) As usual it was a blast and I'm already dying for the next episode. Couldn't think of a better way to spend my Tuesday nights. Night out with my amazing husband + awesome friends + Jax Teller on the big screen + good food + sneak attack pictures of the bikers coming to watch the show in their cuts = perfection.

{pants and top: Old Navy, yellow tank: Whimsy, boots: Ross, Necklace: Target, earrings: Made by Jewls}

WIWW: SOA Edition

If you know me, then you know I am obsessed with Sons of Anarchy. Last night was the season premiere and I was like a little kid waiting for Christmas the past week. There's a local movie theater (Brewvies) here that plays each episode live for free on the big screen. So you know my hubs and our friends are all over it.

We had a blast and can't wait until next week. It's going to be Scott and I's weekly date night for the next couple months.

What I wore:
Pants: Old Navy. Shirt: Gap. Shoes: TOMS. Earrings and Necklace: Made By Jewls. 

WIWW: Anniversary Edition

Last Thursday was our Anniversary {4 years!}. We went up to Park City for a couple days to celebrate. We love Park City. It was such a relaxing 2 days. We window shopped, ate too much, went to the movies, went to the Farmer's Market, went swimming, relaxed in the hot tub, walked up and down Main Street, perused the books at  Dolly's Bookstore and Atticus for far too long. Went to World Market and made our "If only..." list, and just bought a treats instead. It was a great time. I have to say I picked a pretty great guy. I love that man!

Shirt: Forever 21 c/o my sweet friend Whitney, Pants: Old Navy, Boots: Steve Madden via Nordstrom, Necklace and sunglasses: Forever 21, Watch: Michael Kors, Bag: Wilsons Leather

I never mix black and brown. I'm weird about that. But this shirt was pulling in both colors so I paired it with black jeans and brown boots. Not sure I love it, but it worked for the day. Next time though I might just stick with black boots. 

Stuffing ourselves at Doolan's. Fried Pickles, Scotty got the Bison Burger and I went with Stu's Smelly burger. All delicious. 

Love Dollys! And have you ever tried Red Banjo? Delicious. But you have to try it WITH the Lemon! And some of our finds at World Market.

Some of our finds at the Farmer's Market. All delicious, but the thing we loved best was the salt and pepper corn we bought and cooked on the grill. 

Thanks Scott for a fabulous time. And a wonderful 4 years. xoxo

WIWW: Girls Night Out Edition

I loved this outfit. It was super comfy but still sporty and cute. I love the pockets in the dress and I have loved these boots. You can tell by how worn they are :)

Dress: Gap, Mesh leggings: Nordstrom, Boots: Ross, Earrings: Cavalcade (painted by me), Bracelets: Forever 21 & Target, Watch: Michael Kors

It was my good friend Dari's Birthday so a few of us girls got together to celebrate. Delicious food. Yummy treats. And girl chat and gossiping. And celebrating Dari! It was a splendid night. Happy Birthday again Dari!

The birthday girl Dari and Jeanette

Brittney and I

When I first bought these boots I thought they might be too masculine. But I have fallen in love. Especially when paired with a dress. What do you think?

WIWW: Church Edition

I know I know. It's technically Thursday, but I only missed the cut off by an hour, and only because I stayed at the gym longer than I was planning tonight. But I really don't have to explain myself to you. After all this is MY blog and I'll do what I want.

Anyways...This is what I wore to church on Sunday. I'm not sure about the higher waisted skirt and the tucking in of my shirts. But I'm trying to be more ambitious.

Skirt: Old Navy, Shirt: H&M, Shoes: Target, Earrings: Gifted, Bracelets: Target & Darling Ephemera, Toe Ring: Forever 21

My cute kids like to interrupt my WIWW photo sessions.

This skirt is super comfy but in my opinion its not very flattering. And I don't think the horizontal stripes helped. Oh and there was another lady at church in the exact same skirt. Twinners. Ugh. I hate when that happens.

What do you think? Thumbs up or thumbs down? 

What I Wore Wednesday

Here in Utah we celebrate the 24th of July, otherwise known as Pioneer Day. It's kind of a big deal. We all went to Escalante this year, down in southern Utah. I'm from Escalante but we moved when I was only 3. But we always went back for the 24th. This little town does it BIG! I still have family there and my Grandparents have a gorgeous house and a beautiful (huge!) piece of property. I have taken my husband there many times, but he's never experienced the 24th there. Until this past weekend. And let me tell you it was a BLAST! On Saturday we went to the parade, then to the scout lunch, over to the carnival (of which we had a craft booth) then on to the rodeo that night followed by a massive firework show. So I knew I needed a comfy outfit for the day. We were camping, but I still wanted to look cute since I was going to be seeing tons of family and friends. Here's what I came up with:

Shirt & glasses: H&M, Skirt: Luxe Couture, Shoes: Torrid (old) Necklace: Macy's, Watch: Fossil, Bracelets: Target, Hair: Dirty c/o camping.

The four of us waiting for the parade to start. 

Nichole and I behind out craft booth. Right before a massive downpour. 

Had so much fun with Nichole and Zuileka on this trip! Thanks girls!

*Our camera got a scratch on the lens during the trip, so please excuse the 'ghosts' you may see in the photos. 

I can't wait to post the rest of the pictures from our trip. It was such a great time and I can't wait till next year. I'm pretty sure all three families have agreed to make this trip a new tradition. 

What do you think of my outfit? I personally am obsessed with my new red & white striped skirt. It is super comfy and cute too!

WIWW: Who Wear's Short Shorts?

Not me! Honestly I hate wearing shorts. I hate wearing long shorts let alone short shorts! I haven't worn shorts (other than working out) since before I was pregnant with Jaxon. That's over 3 years ago people! I seriously hate my knees. I have fat knees and I feel much more comfortable in pants, dresses, skirts and capri's. But on Monday I decided to cut a pair of my jeans off and try it out again.

Shorts: Dickies (originally pants). Shirt: Old Navy. Stripped tank & Shoes: Target. Necklace: Francesca's. Watch: Michael Kors. Bracelets: Cotton On & Fossil. Earrings: Forever 21

We spent the day at the pool and were meeting some friends for dinner. I was rushing to shower and get ready. It was still over 100 degrees out so the jeans became shorts and the hair was left wet, natural and wavy. (Despite having no time, it was way to hot for blow drying and straightening.)

Still have major issues with my knees and my body overall, but I'm working on it.

What do you think of the outfit? Personally it's all a little too preppy for 'me' but hey I tried something new.

WIWW: Girls Night Out Edition

Top: Cotton On. Jeans: Old Navy. Shoes: Target. Necklace: Forever 21. Watch: Michael Kors. Bracelets: Cotton On & Fossil.

Friday night a few of my girlfriends and I went out. It was a marvelous night consisting of: CPK. Chanda's hilarious stories over dinner. Never being able to look at 'cash' the same way. Our waiter sucking at taking our order. 3/4 of our orders wrong. $0.00 bill for myself. Magic Mike. An entire theater of anxious girls and gays. Cheering, clapping and some crazy lady next to us with a ridiculous amount of LOUD comments. The guy in front of us standing up to address the theater and telling everyone to clap if they thought that the crazy lady should shut up. The theater erupting in cheers and said lady finally shutting her trap. And dancing with my ladies (and gays) after the movie. It was a wonderful night! 

Dari, Me & Meagan. Ready to get our dance on!

So Cotton On may or may not be my new favorite store. Have you been there? Have you seen Magic Mike?
