Happy Halloween... Linky!

This is totally one of my favorite holiday's!!! My kids are out Trick-or-Treating (we do it on Saturday night in Utah, because that's how we roll!) I am just passing out candy to all the little cuties that come to my door.  Here is my costume...

Here I am in all my GLORY!

I am pretty sure I am going to break out like crazy after this!

"A Very Merry Un-Birthday to you!"

Tea Party!

The White Rabbit, Queen of Hearts, Alice, White Queen and The Mad Hatter!

I still love him even with that scary mask!

Link up your Halloween fun below, it can be your costume, something Halloween inspired or whatever!!  It only takes a second!!!  I will be back Monday with my church inspired Halloween OOTD and continue the linky!

Plums make me happy!!

Today my kids are out of school... we are headed here it's a Halloween MUST if you live in Utah!  Whenever I hit the make-up counter I always pick out the same shades, gold tones for my eyes and plums for my lips.  Although I ventured out and got a new color I also picked up a new plum lipstick!  Here is my new plum color...

New Lipstick: Fluid

New Lip-liner: Plum

Lip Gloss: Up in Smoke

In honor of Halloween... the frightening close-up!!!

Don't forget to check back this weekend and link up your blog with your Halloween inspired outfit/costume!!  Here is a sneak peek into my Halloween inspired church outfit... here and here!

OOTD- My new favorite!

Thank you for all you boot help, I should get these in the next day or two!  I am sooooo in love with these cords and this top, I can honestly say it's one of my new *favorite* outfits!!  I am off to pick up a few more things before Halloween (like more candy since I ate half of it!)  Since the weather has turned cold this week I am enjoying layering and bundling up before I leave home.  I am also headed to my daughter's class to help with the Halloween party!!!  Here is what I am wearing today...

Top Anthro: Bianka blouse

Pants Antrho: Pilcro cords

Boots Antrho: Bowtied Beauties

Necklace Anthro: similar here

Oh *no-buy* you are killing me!!! I am dying to get so many things... but mostly these!

Which boots?

Last night we had so much fun playing fear factor, it was a riot!  Lately I have had a bee in my bonnet, I MUST get some black flat boots!  I found some (and ordered them) at Anthro but am having second thoughts.  So, I need your help... which boots do you like better?

#1

#2

I know I want flats (because I know I will wear them a lot!)  I just am not sure the black in #2 is black enough.  Should I just order both and then decide???  Should price play much of a role here?

               

OOTD- Polk-a-dots and yellow!

Today I am BUSY, I am having my family over to play Halloween inspired fear-factor!  I am so excited to watch the kids totally freak out with the crickets and spiders.  I HATE that stuff so my hubby will be manning all insect inspired challenges!  Here is what I am wearing today...

Cardi Target: Merona

Tank Boden: similar here

Jeans True Religion: Skinny Lonestar

Shoes Sam Edelman: Charleen

Necklace Tiffany: Key

OOTD- Falling for fall!

This outfit was was purchased for my little brother's wedding, the colors were brown, orange and plum.  I busted it out for church yesterday since we are in full fall weather here in Utah!  It is suppose to snow this week (wince!)  I hate trick-or-treating in the snow (who is kidding who, I make my hubby take the kids!)  This week I am back on the self imposed *no-buy* and for the record will only get this if it hits sale tomorrow.  I will make myself pass on everything else (I have to I ordered these on Saturday!)  Here is what I wore to church yesterday...

I am going to do a blog linky this weekend for Halloween inspired outfits/costumes (it can be your kids too), so make sure and take a picture and stop back by and link your blog up!!!

New Color... New Woman!

A few of my favorite things are... clean sheets on my bed, hot cocoa by a warm fire when it's snowing, the smell of autumn in the air, spring flowers popping up in the snow, new shoes, watching my kids sleep and NEW LIPSTICK!!!  After a really hard day on Saturday when my son broke my candle and the dog pooped in the house... ahhhhhh!  I was ready to pull my hair out when we headed to Nordy's and I picked up two new lipstick colors!  I wanted a beautiful red that was not too dark and was bright and cheery!  I LOVED the color soooo much I felt like a new woman!  I am off to volunteer at my daughter's school (with the book fair) so no OOTD it is just tooo early!!

My new lipstick: Viva Glam IV

My new lip-liner: Half-Red 

Lip gloss: Betty

I am kinda freaked out by this picture, but you can really see the color!

BTW: This dress was a TOTAL bust for me, it's so beautiful IRL but the orange color of it, looked something awful on me!!  I also picked up another lipstick color I will show you next week!

OOTD- Going (dark) green!

Today is parent teacher conferences and I am excited to go and hear how my daughter is doing in school (I already know she is doing well, because I talk to her teacher every time I volunteer in her class!)  I am also off to a field trip for my son's preschool... pumpkin patch fun is sure to ensue!!  I found this shirt and fell in LOVE with it!  I also finally broke down and picked up these and they make their debut today!   Here is what I am wearing...

Top Anthro: Floral Frappe

Pants Anthro: Pilcro cohort cords 

Boots Anthro:  Bowtied Beauties

Belt Anthro: Looping Lanes

Necklace F21: similar here

Does anybody know if I can find these without paying shipping that is more than the product?  My pants need a little help staying down in these boots!

I really don't want to talk about this (because you will be disappointed) but I also picked up the Sugar-coated  dress.  Tisk Tisk!  I pretty much just wiped my butt with my *no-buy* hu!?

OOTD- Sailor stripes!

Once I saw Sweet tea picked up this cute top at H&M I knew I *needed* it!!  I adore stripes right now and cannot believe how comfy it is, I also love the little buttons they have as accents!  I am off to have some "Mommy-time" and go shopping this morning (with only one kid in tow!)  I *tried* hard to resist getting anything from the sale but failed... yes, I ordered this (blast you shipping charges!) I did decide that since this took so long to hit sale I am over it already!!!

Because of my *no buy* status I passed on this and this, I realized I don't *need* them (yes I am proud of myself!)

Lastly if you live in California please check this out.... one of my dear friend's niece is missing and any prayers and help would be appreciated!

OOTD- Beige stripes.

This week I am trying to wear some of my new stuff I picked up on vacation!  Yesterday I wore this dress, and I finally got to bust these cute boots out!  I am on an unofficial *no-buy* because I went a little crazy on vacation... but there are a few things like this and this at Anthro that if they hit sale I will HAVE to get!  Here is what I wore to church yesterday...

I got these cute tights while working at Nordy's in 2002, I still think they are cute!!!

I should also say (for the record) that if this makes second cuts it will be mine!!!

Table pasta!

Confession: my kitchen table is SOOOOO ugly!!! I have been looking around for a new drop leaf table to replace my old (and hideous) one.  But some days I get really ambitious and think... a 're-mo' project would be fun!  So what do you think?  New table or remodel?  While I am on the 'kitchen subject' I have been pining over getting one of these little beauties...

 My sister and I spent some time shopping for one and I think I have finally found the one I *need*!  I can already taste all the homemade goodness it will make (and my jeans getting tighter!)  I will let you know more once it's arrived and I have made a presentable product!!!

Alright, I am off to hit up Target and pick up "How to Train your Dragon" a family movie party is in order for tonight!! 

OOTD- Sucker for Tucker!

My kids are on Fall break and we are off to Cornbellys today!  I put this on and then decided to change into something a little more realistic for running through a corn maze.  Oh well, maybe this weekend I can bust this guy out again!  Fall is in full force here in Utah and I am enjoying every moment of it!  Caramel apple cider is totally on the menu today as well as a little squash soup for dinner!  I will probably be MIA tomorrow because there is no school again!!! 

Top Tucker for Target: Signature Dress  with a little pink!

Boots Miz Mooz: Solis

Belt Anthro: Looping Lanes
