let's play catch up

Okay my littles... I know I said I was going to start blogging more... & I really mean it... but of course, have another excuse of being busy..
So here are some catch up outfit's throughout the week or so that I happened to capture on my iPhone... 
:)
First of all- I want to blog about this web-site I found-- actually my friend (kinda sister) found it...
http://www.heavenlynaturalbeauty.com/
that is the web site to purchase... she got her minerals, I think they were like $4.95 each and she loved the colors- I found this eye shadow picture on there and love it.

Gorgeous, right? 

So check this site out if your looking for some cheaper minerals... I will let you all know if I end up ordering from this site..

Okay so first outfit-

This skirt I got from a boutique in Durango and LOVED it... I had to have it :) I think it was $60-

Shirt- WHO THE HECK KNOWS... I've had this forever, I want to say it is like 3-4 years old, from Urban Outfitters....

Boot- Shoe dazzle

Leggings- TJ Maxx

Scarf- Gift about 4- 5 years ago as well...

(some things I love & just hold on to)

**if your wondering why I have cut my face off, it is because I hadn't done my make-up yet **

This next one, I just wanted to show off a pretty scarf I have... I got this from my hubby.

Just noticed you can see the tag.... uhhh tacckkkyyy. Oh well :)






and this..... haha.. makes me laugh. I got these pants in Durango, about 3-4 years ago again... They are true religion, and i went through a phase where i thought true religion was like THE PANT to have... so i got some, & were only able to wear them for about a year- & of course... have held onto them because I paid somewhat of a good amount of money for them..... Every year I get them out, hang them up... & hope I can fit into them..... when they didn't even go over my thighs..
until this last weekend..


they FIT

I paired them with my boots from shoe dazzle (my go to boots lately) and just a tank from express underneath a black loose shirt :)

I just want to wear these jeans everyday now, just cause I can fit into them ;)


the pockets are almost my favorite.










Another awesome find.
I saw these online the other day- they are toms

I would like them all, PLEASE :D




** Update on the dukan diet- I am down 16 lbs now :) & I have 10 more to go!!! I may go even a bit more, just because I am not completely satisified with my results yet, but we will see when I get there... ** I have cheated one time, I had 4 fries one day... and I also had...2 cookies one night... OOPS** I just need to keep telling myself once I loose all my weight, then I can go into the next PHASE.... BOOOOYAAHHH!!!

Soon enough.

Enjoy.

focus: goodwill shirt :)

Well Hello there, my little lovies out there :) I haven't done a post in awhile--However, I will get back into the swing of posting, & hopefully we can all share some great ideas... Sounds good to me, ehh?
   This post is to focus on one thing, well maybe a few other things.. BUT....
#1 the shirt I found last weekend... at.... Good Will... So stoked... 2.99 folks! :)
I paired it with a black belt.

..... & I am also super stoked because I got these jeans on my honeymoon & normally I AM NOT splurger on clothes... hence the goodwill shirt :) hehe but I HAD TO have these sevens.... they were also like $15 off too!! SCORE!!




and since I gained so much weight on my honeymoon, & after.. I haven't been able to wear them.... this morning when I put them on... they just slid on like butter...
haha

(& no, that green..... idk what to even call it, the green lush above my head is not MY hair, or something fun I decided to put in my hair.. haha it is a plant in the shop)... ALSO, first person in the salon this morning, means I take take pictures of myself in the mirror..
- So my shoes (not pictured here) are from Shodazzle-- Necklace & Earrings from a bridal boutique here in town called SILK- pants from MACY'S in san jose & shirt from Good Will in Farmington :)

Not sure why I am doing weirdo pose, I was trying to get a good picture of the pockets on my pants.. 

Up close & personal with the necklace that I LOVE :)

and my MAC lipstick that matches my necklace








 Enjoy!
Happy Friday.

whirl wind

It has been a whirlwind around here lately.. I was in Houston, TX all last week for work, and now I am here... back in New Mex : ) If you would like to read my lovely plane ride(s) stories.. please see my other blog
http://www.bristynicole.blogspot.com/
Hoping to have it posted by tomorrow! :)

AS much as I would love to say I took pictures of my outifts there, I didn't :( BOO!! I did get some nice shopping in though, I brought home a little something for Joshy & The Girlies.. <3 They all enjoyed their stuff...

So let's get to business.. here we are.. with an OOTD for WEDNESDAY!!

Wild Wednesdayyy

So normally at night, before I go to bed, or when I get out of the shower.. I pick out, and lay out my outfit that I will be wearing the next day... This is a MUST for a mother of 2 little rascals in the mornings, because you never know what they might pull.. or how much time you have to pick out your outfit of the day :) Well last night, my lovely husband gave me a massage- a full body massage... and put me FAST asleep... I WAS OUT!!!...and atlas forgot to pick out my outfit for today.......BLAHHH...
                           my massage was amazing, if you wanted to know.. complete with de-stress lotion from bath & body... mmmmmmm good!!


So here we are, today, with my literally thrown together outfit...

I realize my necklace, and buttons on my sweater do not match... and frankly don't kinda belong together... but whateva... I'll make it work :)

another thing that was thrown together this morning, was my hair...
i just showered last night, and my dry shampoo finally got here last night, so of course i jumped at the first chance i got to use it..
so... i brushed my hair, sprayed my dry shampoo in, brushed it again, did a fast braid on the side and i was good to go..
5 minutes, tops!

Well there you have it for today..
I am been slightly depressed lately when getting dressed in the mornings, I have gained 8 pounds since getting back from my wedding, and bought some cute stuff there, and what do ya know? I can't fit into it now... so back to the gym I go...
   I went last night, and it was amazing, can't wait to get my sweat on tonight!!

I went to durango yesterday for a dr appointment and went shopping with my mom after... :) thank you mom, by the way!! <3 I love all my goodies!! We went to one of my FAVORITE stores there...... Silk Sparrow!!! It is the cutest boutique ever, and is usually always having a sell!! I got 2 cute dresses, which I will do a post about later..

These shoes were $10!!!.... Yep, only $10.... SO CUTE and they are acutally REALLYYYYYYYY comfy, NO JOKE!!!.. They are like a nude color and will totally go with everything!!

and these rockers right here were $15... and they are so comfy as well..... also will go with alot!!

I am super stoked for both of these comfy shoes, I know I will get a ton of wear out of them, & I can't wait to show you what I pair them with.. I normally don't buy shoes in stores, since I am a member of shoedazzle.com I just order online, but when they are on sale, and THAT cute... it's a MUST!!

and then there are these, which were a tad more expensive.. $99..

I have literally been on the search for an awesome rain boot for SO long... & I found them... they may not be for you, nor your taste, but I am going to rock the socks out of these...yep I will be wearing these with a dress and leggings... maybe some shorts and long tunic tee.... i am so stoked to try these with an awesome outfit, and put them to work... Rain Rain, please come!! :)

That's all I have time for today.

Adios! Hello Weekend!!
