Back To Life...

Back to reality.
Today's the last day of our NoDak vacation and it's a little bittersweet. It's going to be hard going back to work tomorrow but it's going to be nice to sleep in my own bed and best of all I get to see my pups!
Yesterday was a nice day for B and I we just bummed around, worked out, enjoyed the sun and a dinner with B's mom.
For the majority of my life I was, and still am, a sweatpants type of girl and didn't push the limit in my outfits on a daily basis. Like I wrote about yesterday blogs have helped me be more creative and spice up my daily outfits. So here is a before and after pic of what I wore yesterday.

new H&M shirt and my J Bella pants, also my comfy (believe it or not) Steven by Steve Madden shoes.

It's A Jorts Thing

I love reading blogs, it's my thing. When someone asks me what my hobbies are B always says blogs. I guess he's right. There are so many reasons to like so many different blogs but the main reason I love them so much is the inspiration. These women have such a talent and inspire me to do so much even if it's something as small as trying a new lipstick color or hair do!
Here I followed an easy DIY to make an old pair of Forever 21 jean shorts a little more funky for summer.
This was my outfit the day after the wedding, a comfy little number to be hungover and drive three hours. It was also the only day we were able to get out on the river with B's dad so I can't complain.

J Bella Styled

A few weeks ago I attended the What Women Want expo here in Utah at the South Towne expo center. It's a Friday and Saturday packed full of great activities and booths for women! I had a blast with a good friend, and best part was meeting the Founder of J Bella, Jamie. I found a link to the J Bella Web site through a blog I was reading (I read so many I don't remember which one!) but while looking around I found Jamie's Blog and started following her as well. J Bella is a "contemporary clothing boutique and online shopping" and because I get a little leery about purchasing pants online I was so excited to meet them in person!
I had been on the hunt for the perfect peach pants. I found some at Express, but they didn't fit my boot-ay. Luckily J Bella had some great peach pants there at the expo and I was able to try them on and found out they fit perfectly!! Also, I got a great little white (I can not, not buy something white) and some cute bangle bracelets! It seems all were on sale as I got a great deal and even got a nice t-shirt for B.


Luckily I had a fun little girls night a few weeks ago and the Spring weather dropped down a little so I was excited to pair my peach pants and light sweater together.


Don't forget to check out the J Bella store as well as Jamie's blog to follow her inspiration.
