OOTD- Field Game!

This outfit is from last week I was having a crazy week so I never got a chance to post it.  Today I am *busy* watching a few episodes of Monk from my DVR they had a marathon (yay!) over the weekend and I seriously LOVE that show!  I know my life is so busy ;)  Here is what I wore to Bean museum last week...
Cardigan Field Game: similar ON SALE here
Tank Buds and Bunches: similar here
Jeans J Brand: Jeggings
Boots Bowtied Beauties
Necklace Pessinus Garden: similar here



*my Old Navy swimsuit cover came and it's a little too long... I guess that's what I get for trying to make a sundress a swimsuit cover!  I may hit up Old Navy this weekend and exchange it!

Swim Drama...

With the cruise coming up, I am on the hunt for a bathing suit.  I have such a love/hate relationship with swimsuit shopping (mostly hate) but when I find a suit I love it's a great feeling!!  So I am asking all you ladies do you have any brands you love?  Suits you have tried on and love?  I found a few I like it and want to ask you opinion!

Cute I love the dots, but not the best picture.


I really like the idea of this but am not sure how it would look on.


The little ruffle is so cute, but is it too...
"you are not 15 lady, Coldwater Creek is over there!"?


I like this and how classic it is, it also has great reviews now: is it too matronly? be honest!

OOTD- Simply dressed!

Have you ever had one of those mornings where everything you were planning on wearing was a bust?  That is what happened to me yesterday, I had planned to wear my teacup dress but it just looked wrong on me.  So I was frantically going through my closet trying to find something while my hubby was loading the kids up to leave.  I finally just threw this on because it was simple and all items were readily available in my closet.  Also, I had my other two swim suits come... this one was huge, I think vanity sizing is getting out of control because I was a pretty solid medium until recently and apparently I am now a small (note: I have not lost weight)   This one really accentuates curves and gives you the hour glass figure, problem is I am a curvy girl and it seems to accentuate all my curves in a bad way.  Too bad because I really loved the idea of 50's style swimming suit.  Here is what I wore yesterday...
Top Anthro: similar here
Black tank: similar here
Shoes Linea Paolo: similar here
Tights DKNY: similar here



I am excited for tonight when I can sit and watch The Bachelor and watch for the sale news to come it!!!

JOTD- Army green but not mean!

Yesterday was super busy my sister and I had a fun girls day out that included lunch and a stop at the Provo Temple.  I was dressed up in my Wightwick Manor dress and can I just say "I love that dress!"  We had Thai food and then I ate entire batch of these cookies they are soooooo good!  Ummmmm those 'holiday' pounds are never coming off are they?  Off to run errands today and sporting my new favorite jacket!  Here is my jacket of the day (since the outfit is a total repeat!)
Jacket Anthro: VERY similar here

Cute ruffles!

I tried on this suit and am on the fence, I think for that price I had better LOVE it and look like a million bucks, since that is almost how much it cost!



And finally can I tell you I never tire of taking pictures like this with my laptop!  My kids and I do it for hours and can't stop laughing!
Frightening right?!

Ha ha this cracks me up, alien head!!!
Have a wonderful weekend ladies!!!

OOTD- Blue and Cords!

I just returned from a weekend of FUN!!  Every year the ladies that live around here go away for a weekend to a retreat.  We stayed up all night and played like we were in college.  Today is my babies birthday and the kids don't have school so they want to go do something fun, so we are off to 'do something fun'!  Here is what I wore to church yesterday...
Tights Anthro: Trellis Tights
Belt Anthro: similar here
Shoes Anthro: similar here
Necklace Anthro: Poms and Trinkets

I have been on a swimming suit kick lately and ordered this and this from Anthro and this set from the Crewlade!  I will NOT do a review on them for you with pictures but I will let you know which one(s) I keep or don't keep!


Happy Birthday to this little angel who is now 2 you bring me more happiness than I ever thought possible!!!  I love you VJ!

OOTD- Tagged!

I am going swimming (again I know!)  We are on a tour of all the Utah County pools and are trying a new one each time!  I will be wearing my swimsuit and SPF today!

Here I am at the pool on monday in my Hapari swimsuit I have two suits (and maybe another in the mail) and LOVE them! 

Tagged by Debbie:

1. What are your favorite song lyrics and why?
Non-secular, for sure American Pie this song brings back my childhood (it's my Dad's favorite) It talks of so many musicians and is beautifully written!


2. If you could be a character from a book for a day, who would you pick?
I think I would pick Alice from Twilight, I just adore her in the books and since those are my favorite books to read I would love to actually live in them for a day!

3. What color best represents your personality?
I think green, I can be bright and cheery and also dark and lifeless sometimes depending on the day!

4. If you could have dinner with anyone (dead, alive, famous or not) who would you choose?
I would choose Dieter F Uchtdorf I met him once and was fascinated by him.  He is such a good man filled with love, light and truth.  His life is amazing and he is truly an exemplary man.

5. Are you a dog person or a cat person?
Dog all the way!!  I have a mini-doxie named Cocoa!

6. What’s the best vacation you’ve ever been on?
This is hard I have traveled alot!  I would say probably one of the cruises I have been on with my whole family.  I LOVE my family and enjoy spending time with them so much.  On each cruise we laugh, stay up late, eat our hearts out and just make memories!

7. If you could change into an animal whenever you wanted to, what would you be? (I’m thinking like some of the characters in Harry Potter that are an Animagus and can magically change into their animal form).
I am not much for animals excepts dogs, I think maybe a bird so that I could feel what it was like to fly.

8. If you could have one talent that you don’t currently have, what would it be?
Initially I thought better at music because I am sort of jack of all trades master of none.  But I think I would choose to be less critical of myself and others because I think that is a talent and something I struggle with.  I judge myself so harshly and sometimes am prone to doing that to others.  Most people probably don't think that is a real talent but I do, I think to love others more easily is one of the best talents you can have.
 
And I was also tagged by Lori:
 
1. If money were no object, what is the one thing you would buy right now?
A home without question!
2. What is the last book you read or are reading right now?
Broken things to mend and may I say one of the best books I have ever read!

3. If you could choose any time period to live in, what would you choose?
Right now!  I am happy right here!

4. What is your favorite clothing item in closet right now?
I think my Rising Vapors dress, I just feel pretty and comfortable in it!

5. If you had the chance to meet anyone you wanted, dead or alive, who would that be?
I think Corrie Ten Boom I love her inspirational book 'The hiding place' and was moved by her courage through such difficult times.

6. If you had to describe yourself in one word, what word would that be?
Evolving

7. What is the funniest movie you've ever seen?
A Mighty Wind!

8. Do you consider the cup half empty or half full?
Half full

I am suppose to tag eight people but think everyone I would tag has already done this.  Sorry, I also never participate in chain letters if that makes anyone feel better!

Baby Beluga...

In the deep blue sea...  Every year around this time I get the itch to go swimming suit shopping!  There are few things that are more painful such as; giving birth, breaking a bone, running a marathon you get the idea!  Last year I found a few websites that had MODEST and cute swimming suits.  I picked up two from Hapari that I love!  Fortunately I have finished losing the baby weight from #3 and they are a little BIG!  So I am on the hunt again!  Here are a few websites I have been perusing for the perfect suit!  Hapari, Shade swimwear, Lime Ricki, DownEast Basics and modbe.  I will be honest I have tried on suits from all the companies listed above and like Hapari the best, but I have friends that have worn them from all those brands and LOVE them!  So I think it really depends on your body type!

This is me in one Hapari suit (I know brave because I was 10 pounds heavier in that shot!)  I also have the giraffe sport tankini which is my favorite!
