New blue suede skirt

I am so excited about this skirt! Look at how bright it is! With spring coming up I feel like this skirt is going to get a lot of use. Has anyone seen the sneak peak of the Madewell Spring Collection (when and if I can find the source I will link)? All the color has gotten me inspired and assured that I need more bright color in my life. And polka dots!!! I could DIE. 

By the way, see that face in the third photo? That's my "Rufio, you better cut it out!" face. He was barking at a passing jogger while we were snapping photos. Just let the man exercise on peace, dog!

90's inspired

Oh hey there blog. No, no, I haven't forgotten about you. Its been a busy week between work, being sick and trying to decide about going back to school. But I think I've decided! Nursing school it is! If only I would have decided this when I was doing my first bachelors degree. Oh well I guess. Now on to calls and emails and research. 

I wore this outfit yesterday for a brunch and photo shoot with my friend Gerry and her adorable baby Isabella! Oh dear, that little one is a cutie! I can't believe Isabella didn't make a peep the whole morning, even while her mama was snapping pictures of me! 

Now on to my outfit- between this dress and boots I feel like I should be watching My So Called Life or Daria. Now that I think of it I should've thrown on a flannel too. Womp womp. Next time I guess.

Birthday Boots

Remember those boots I was telling you about that the boy got my for my birthday? These are the ones! Ah, I'm in love with them!! And they are wicked comfy. They are now the perfect pair of boots for everything- running around town, wearing out to breakfast, wearing with a dress.

I'm so ready for the weekend. And I don't even have a good excuse, I had a short work week this week and I only went in to the office once last week. And- now that I think about it the next two weeks at work are going to be short too. HA! I win. To celebrate I'll be wearing my new comfy boots.

Elitch Gardens

Oh hey, guess what? This is my first real post of the new year. Want to know the mind bender about it all? These photos were taken last year. Whoa. 

These photos are from my last day in Colorado. We went to the old Elitch Gardens theatre. This is the spot of an old amusement park that I used to go to when I was really young and now its an amazing neighborhood with a cute little shopping area and houses. After seeing how the neighborhood turned out, I'm pretty sure this is the place I want to live if I move back to Denver (well that is if I don't live in Boulder). 

While in Denver, I picked up this faux leather jacket and I haven't taken it off yet. Plus I scored these cheetah print flats on sale at Target for less that 10 dollars. Woot woot! 

But off to write my new years resolutions. Yes, I'm still writing them but if you haven't noticed we're still checking out photos from 2011 so I'm giving myself a get out of jail pass for this one.

Happy New Year!

So which dress won the vote?! Dress 3! Thanks to a lovely friend, May, I chose the red and black theme. I'd have to say the outfit was a complete success though my favorite part is the red bow in my hair. Actually, the whole day was a success! It started off with some birthday shopping and lunch. I bought myself the Marc by Marc Jacobs watch I have been lusting over for a long time. After that I got to open up some presents from the boy. I got a pair of combat boots from Madewell a couple days ago as an early gift and then I got an owl cookie jar from Anthropologie and an owl pencil holder for my office. Shoes and owls! What more could a girl ask for?

We had a pretty low key New years and birthday celebration night. We went out to dinner and then had a few friends over at the house that I'm housesitting at. Lucky us, a party was going on a few blocks away so after we rang in the New Year we walked over to a crazier festivity. Although from the picture below of me and a friend, you would think we had enough crazy all by ourselves.
