Bejeweled

I purchased this Apt. 9 (brand at Kohl's) dress via ebay.  I love the pattern, but the large purple jewels were a bid of a surprise! It's hard to see all of the details in those pics!  I wore the maxi dress, and sandals.  I also did a bit of an updo for my casual Friday look.  It's called the "braided roll-up" you can learn how to do it on "The Rose Record".

Fabulous Friday

Once again, it is time to play "Give it a Miss, Give it a Go or Give it to Me" where I'll post pics of celeb outfits and you can tell me whether you wouldn't wear it (give it a miss), like it and might wear it (give it a go) or love it and want it (give it to me).

Here is this week's contender...Rita Ora! All pics taken from Go Fug Yourself and you should check out that site too for some very witty stuff!

So, what do you think? x

Loud Paisley

I purchased this Inc. dress on ebay.  It was a chilly day so I wore black tights and Nine West pink pumps.  I also added a green cardigan.

James Arthur Vineyard

I also went with my grandparents to a fundraising event at James Arthur vineyard in Raymond, Nebraska which is Northwest of Lincoln.   I loved the Frontenec red wine they had.  I wore a Calvin Klein dress and Nine West nude pumps. 

Omaha Riverboat tour

My grandparents came up for Grandparent's day not long ago.  We had a great time learning more about Omaha on the River City Star steamboat tour.  My grandparents are 83 and 85! I think're looking pretty good!  It's starting to get a bit cooler here.  I wore J. Crew corduroy pants, an Ann Taylor creme top and Liz Claiborne NY striped sweater from Ebay.

You're No Bunny Til Some Bunny Loves You!

Happy Saturday! This is one of my new purchases...they are so cute and make my feet so warm and cozy :D I hope you are enjoying your weekend!

While most definitely a photoshop advert I still wanna know, what do you think? x

Peachy

Here is another day of styling my hair with the curling wand.  I love the peach colors of this top and skirt.  I wore this H&M knotted silk top and creme skirt with polka-dot and leaf pattern.  I also wore my brown flats from Scarpasa.  

June Cleaver

I felt a bit like June Cleaver in this outfit with my pearls.  I wore a sheer polka-dot top and patterned silk Merona skirt.  I purchased a new curling wand.  I love the curly look that is a bit more crisp than my curls with just some mousse.

A Famous Wedding Guest

So here's the post that was meant to go up Saturday. I scheduled the wrong date when I originally did it..oops! As promised, here's my celebrity meeting! My brother-in-law got married a few weeks ago and Nicky Byrne from Westlife is married to his new wife's cousin. Now, for those of you who haven't heard of them, Westlife is probably the biggest boyband to come out of Ireland. When we discovered he was there we naturally insisted on getting a snap with him. He was actually lovely and really friendly! Oh and that room key in my bust is MINE..no pockets made me improvise ha ha!

 Everyone was amazed by my hair...and that it was all my own! No extensions here!

 My make-up held up pretty well too!

So here's The Rose sung by Westlife. Enjoy! x

Mixed patterns for Tribute

I wore this outfit to the YWCA of Lincoln Tribute event.  I don't normally mix prints, but I thought the touch of polka dot worked with the Ralph Lauren houndstooth sweater jacket.  I wore Sofft black pumps to try and give my feet a break! 

The YWCA of Lincoln Tribute event was amazing.  Sally Gordon was quite a figure in Lincoln, and her family donated her hats, jewelry, clothing, and other items.  The YWCA EnPointe dancers performed quite a bit through the night.  They did such a great job!

Polka Dots galore

The other day I wore a few polka dot items together! I wore Nine West polka dots pumps, an INC silk halter blouse, brown Victoria's Secret pants, and white jacket.  It was such a cool foggy morning when I took these pictures, I thought I would leave the scenery in the picture! 

Butterfly Flutter

This top and the jeans are new purchases. I got a giftcard to Dorothy Perkins for my birthday from my mother-in-law. They have so much cute stuff in at the moment I was delighted! These jeans were a little pricey but my other black skinny jeans are looking a bit worse for wear so I thought I would splurge on a new pair!

Magic Spells...Oh Dear!

I've had this top since my hen party in Barcelona. I came across this shop, Stradivarius, and it was full of quirky, cute and reasonably priced lovely things! I purchased several things that I have come to really like for their uniqueness. Unfortunately, the label on all the clothes is just a simple treble clef so I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the shop for a really long time. Googling wasn't working for me either searching  'musical note clothing label Spain' but I finally clicked on my brain and replaced the musical note with treble clef and it was the first result! Yay I'm so happy I finally found the shop again! Now let's hope they still have some cool stuff :D

 Top: Stradivarius, Cardigan: Oasis, Jeans: Dorothy Perkins, Necklace: Gift

 Angela gave me this beautiful locket for my birthday this year! It's just the right amount of bling for me. So thanks hun...I love it!

The last days of white

Does anyone fall the "no white after labor day" rule anymore?  I'm not sure, but I wore this outfit just before labor day.  I wore white pants, blue and white polka dot Talbot's jacket, and green express top with a bow on it.  I added nude pumps to keep it light.  It was a bit dark in my living room this morning. 

Bootcut & Birds

Not much styling in this outfit I'm afraid! Still enjoying nice weather (so the jeans were a mistake..I was roasting in them!). I usually only wear this top with skinny jeans to balance out the bagginess of it but I think it actually looks okay with my bootcut jeans as well. Next week I'll be posting about my brother-in-law's wedding and meeting a celebrity!! :D

It's Gonna Be A Lovely Day

I started back to work on Tuesday. This isn't the outfit I wore (this is from Monday) but I forgot to post it then. It feels good to be back to work actually although I missed Rory terribly. I'm lucky I got so much maternity leave to spend with him. The weather here has been fantastic the last few days so I've been running around with Bill Withers' song 'Lovely Day' in my head. Hope your part of the world is just as sunny!

I'll leave you with this tune

Cropped pants

On casual Friday I wore a bow tie tee shirt, purple polka dot Merona cardigan, and blue Ralph Lauren copped pants.  I',m not normally a fan of cropped pants, but I think the blue color makes these fun. Yay for Friday!

black & brown

The other day I wore a black Alfani dress with a brown short sleeve jacket and brown and blue Premier jewelry necklace.  I thought my brown and black Cole Haan pumps brought things together.

Keeping Up with the Dowager Countess

So I don't know about you but I am in love with Downton Abbey! I am SO excited about Season 3 starting this month!! I heard the sad news that it won't air in the US until sometime in January of next year so I thought I would pass along this link from Rachel at Grasping for Objectivity's blog to show you how to 'hack in' to watch it with Europe (or at least the UK and ROI). Enjoy!
