Hair Magic with Jewel

Hi Friends :) Again, so sorry for the major lack of posting. Moving into the new apartment is going swell, almost got my closet set up (which is the most important part!) Picked out paint colors with Niky and Kasey and I can't wait to post photos after we get it done at the end of this month :) We have been getting ready for our vacation to Orlando, planning out all of our outfits! But one of our most important prep errands was getting our hair done. I took 6 inches off and Kasey had a touch up on her beautiful blonde. We discovered Jewel while in college (or rather she discovered us) and the rest has been history. She has done an amazing job with Kasey's golden locks. She gave me my first big girl hair cut (prior, I had just been going to beauty schools) and I trusted her with my virgin hair when I wanted to try my first color. If you are in the Seattle area and need a good stylist, please check Jewel out at the Redmond Town Center Regis Salon. She is so knowledgeable and friendly and FABULOUS.



AH! My hair was so crazy long. You know you need a haircut if you accidentally buckle it into the seatbelt.



My hair feels so fresh and light now! But my boyfriend told me he couldn't he even notice the difference! Lol, actually, nobody at work could tell either :)



Jewel and Kasey were really digging my school girl outfit today. And these shoes are comfy!



Hope your holiday errands are getting done without a hitch!

Cantaloupe

Revisiting my high school days and showing some spirit by wearing some orange and black. I love how hi-lo dresses look with boots! This pair is particularly interesting, it has a faux wooden wedge.



Kasey and I were having shenanigans in Forever 21 today and spotted this gorgeous mint jewel drop necklace! I thought it was a nice pop against my cantaloupe colored dress.



This dress has so much movement when I walk!



Only one more day to get through until the weekend! Going to LA again this weekend to see the boyfriend. Thank goodness for good deals on Virgin America!

First up today is this Calvin Klein coat I bought end of season last year at Nordstrom Rack for $30! This coat is amazing for wearing short sleeves in the winter time because it has these nifty built in sweater sleeves.



I was so cozy, I pretty much wore this around the office all day!



Paired this power blue peplum top with an a-line pleated pleather skirt. I've seen this shape on other blogs and decided to try! I think I'm a little top heavy for this look, but it was fun :)



Also, got these shoes at a deep discount (less than $10!) from Forever 21. Can't go wrong with a glitter stacked heel!



Happy Hump day, everyone! Can you believe that it's almost the weekend again already? HOORAY!

I've been super excited to try stripes with a lady like printed peplum.
My (current) favorite pair of heels makes this outfit for me!


So funny story! My Canon 40D decided to die on me so pictures will be taken
with Kasey's Nokia Lumia 920 (Windows phone FTW!) until it gets fixed!


I'm not a regular clutch user, but I loved the size of this one!


Girly girl is kind of my favorite aesthetic :)

Feeling pretty fancy in all black with gold and jade accents.


I'm really excited about these green tights.
Another outfit that Blair Waldord would be proud of I think :)


Super super loving this adorable alligator ring, it's my new fav.


This necklace reminds me of something Jasmine would wear!

Holiday season means jewel tones for everybody!


Yes, those are most definitely parrots :)




Cobalt blue ruffles on my feet? Yes please!


You can't tell, but I'm really hungry in this picture :P


Anyone else love wearing brighter than life jewel tones?

OMG, SHOES

I try to be reasonable with the amount of money I spend on clothing. But I definitely can't help myself when it comes to shoes! My style is a bit on the dressier side so my shoe collection is mainly comprised of sky high heels. But I'm not gonna lie- wearing 5-inchers every day can be really rough. I shied away from flats because I never found anything that could match my level of dressiness... until this season :)


I jumped on the burgundy bandwagon with these from Forever 21. It is exciting to see loafers take on such delicate lines.


These girly pointed flats are SO FIERCE with this conical hardware from Urban Outfitters. They come in five different colors!


I really adore the loafer shape. Picked up these classy navies from Nordstrom Rack for a steal!

Have you seen any other amazing flats this season?

Orange Frills

I am continuing my Gossip Girl trend for work and picked this pretty pink printed shift.


The centerpiece for this outfit are the shoes :)
