My 30 Items

Wow, last week was a complete wash! I didn't get one, single picture! By the time I got home from work and school it was about 9 pm each night. I am going to hit rewind and start again tomorrow. So I guess for me, it will technically be 5 weeks! Yikes!

I spent the whole weekend doing laundry, ironing, and "officially" picking out my 30 items. They are all sorted and folder in a laundry basket. It makes me kind of sad that I can fit my entire wardrobe for the next month in ONE laundry basket! Or maybe I'm just crazy, but I'm having major anxiety over just 30 pieces! Ha ha! My poor clothes are going to feel so lonely and neglected!

Ok, without further ado, here are my 30 picks! (Sorry about the bad picture quality, that is what I get for taking pictures at night.)

Depending on the weather, I might switch out a pair of shoes for another pair of pants. I am a little hesitant about my choices because the weather is so crazy here in Utah, I am sure we'll have snow before my 30 days are up, so I will most definitely be wearing dresses and skirts in the snow! Oh boy!

Items that don't count, accessories, jewelry, belts, tights, leggings (snow), and undershirts (tank tops).

Good luck to everyone on this journey and I can't wait to get inspiration from other remixers!

The Deets!

Wow, I gotta say, this Monday is starting off an eerily good foot. Not only was I on time to work, I was 15 minutes early! Its also the first day of the month, and it starts on a Monday. My OCD is very happy today.

Also, today marks the first day of my 30 for 30! I'll be back later with a list of all of my picks, and my first outfit photo.

For more details read from Kendi here. She is not starting until next Monday so you have a whole week to get on board!!!

Do it! Your wallet and closet will both thank you!

Gilt Love

Dolce and Gabbana on Gilt today, I'm drooling.

30 for 30 - A la Kendi Everyday!

I've been following Kendi's blog for quite some time now, and it sounds like she's getting ready for her 3rd Remix! I've sat in the bleachers for the last two rounds, but I'm finally ready to make the plunge!

If you don't know what 30 for 30 is, check out Kendi's summer edition here.

Basically, you pick out 30 articles of clothing including shoes, and remix those same items for 30 days. Kendi, throws in no shopping, and for the sake of my back account I'm doing the same!

The shoes are a killer for me, so I'm not quite sure yet, if I am going to modify the rules for my own game and say just clothing. I own a gazillion pairs of shoes and I'm not sure if I can limit myself to 3-4 pairs! We'll see, I'm still on the fence, and I have until November 1st to decide!

So, who wants to join in on the fun with me?!?!

The day before your long weekend...

Drags....
and drags...
and draaaaaags...

Honestly, I have so much work to do that I shouldn't be complaining, but I am just not feeling motivated. Work has been very stressful lately, and school is even more overwhelming than usual. So what do I do in retaliation? Let myself fall even more behind!

Fall Revival

You know its Fall when the leaves start changing color...(we heart it)

The new Fall fashions start coming out...

(J Crew)

The Pumpkin Spice Lattes make a comeback...

You start making your Fall wardrobe purchases ; )

And berets are your comfy, go to, hair accesory.

Welcome back Fall, I'm so glad you're here.

She & Him

There is nothing like new music to brighten your day, and there is nothing like She & Him on a bright, warm, sun-shiny day.

Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward have done it again! Volume Two released on March 23, 2010 and after listening for a week, I can't put it down.

Check it out!

Addicted to clothes

All items I've been coveting lately:

Faith 21 - Forever 21Anthropologie
Modcloth

On a down day...

Nothing makes me happier, faster, than The Beatles. As an avid Beatles fan, I love learning new things about my 4 favorite Brittish men, in particular George.

Today I learned that George and Olivia got married on Septmeber 2nd. The same day as Jake and I. Coincidence? I think not!

Valentine's Day!

So excited for this weekend to get here! Jake and I are going on a short weekend getaway to The Alaskan Inn, where we will be staying in our own personal cabin! We plan on going out to dinner and then cozying up next to the fireplace and watch some movies. I hope it snows : )
Saturday night, we might go down to Salt Lake City and go to the SLC 2010 Tattoo Convetion, we need some new art for our walls and there are always great artists there.


This year, I gave Jake his present a little early and it was more of a couples present anyway:
Tattoo'd couple dolls! I originally saw these on Danielle's blog at Sometimes Sweet , but the dolls are from SpitfireGirl. They are modeled after real tattoo'd men and women and they are BIG! I love these dolls, they are a great buy!

Anyone have any fun plans for Valentine's?
