The Look For Less (Must Haves)

Jean #1 are Old Navy for $34.50 (The Weekend-er)
Jean #2 are Lucky Brand for $129.00 (The Boyfriend)

I actually bought The Weekend-er from Old Navy about 2 weeks ago for $19. They happened to be running a special on them so Mom and i snatched them up! I am not a fan of Old Navy's jeans normally but since this fit is naturally imperfect it was a great compromise, not to mention how comfortable they are!


Boot #1 is a Frye boot called the "Cameron" for $348.00
Boot #2 is from Rack Room Shoes for $44.99.

Now... I know boot #2 is not real leather nor will it feel as wonderful as the Frye but for the price this is definitely a great look-a-like.


Enjoy!

Garth Brooks

So recently i have been adding items to my collection of goodies for my room makeover. That has been really fun. I normally splurge on clothes and clothes only, but finding stuff for my room to make it more comfortable and chic is quite satisfying.
Last Sunday night i was having one of those "for absolutely no reason" meltdowns trying to get ready for church. I had "nothing to wear." (I have everything imaginable but just not that night.) I pulled out my MacBook and opened up iTunes to a random playlist while i got ready.

This is how i get dressed.

And if you saw me Sunday night, No- I did not listen to Garth Brooks. Yes, i did wear cowboy boots but if you know me well, you know that i am quite the boot-a-holic. My song for the night? Icky Thump by The White Stripes.

whoa. thats a big truck.

This weekend i help Ryan and his brother Chase move into their new birmingham apartment. Up until now they have lived in a shabby 1 bdrm apt. (chase actually slept in the dining room.) Now they live in a very nice 2 bdrm luxury apt. (which i am almost  jealous of.) The move was fun. Somehow it's always more fun helping a friend move than having friends help move you. Maybe its because there is no stress because YOUR things arent getting broken or YOUR pots and pans wont fit in the small cabinet space. Anywho- i am tired from it all. The place looks great though and i cant wait for their LSU game parties to begin - i could really use an excuse to make chips and salsa...

i saw life turned into a tv show...

after just looking at pictures from the past 4 years i-for the first time- can actually just sit and smile at all of them.

i've had a great 20 years so far. 

i am so blessed to have been allowed to go through what i did.

if i can help at least one person it would have all been worth it.

meltdown. meltdown. GEAUX TIGERS!

So for whatever reason my money and bills havent been adding up. (i wonder why you shoppaholic.)

This is my first money mishap. (no its not.)

Well its my first real one. 

... and i panicked.

Thanks to mom and my good buddy Ryan i have not only my sanity back but a budget plan.

i'm not thrilled about not getting to (get mani's and pedi's, or a new dress or a needed pair of boots for the winter) spend extra money... but ill make it.

On a lighter note- 

my ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND kings of leon IS PLAYING IN NASHVILLE october 16th. 

and i am going. 

That, my friends, is better than anything in this world. (besides new boots, cocktail dresses, and getting to afford a mani and pedi at the same time.)

anywho... the countdown has started.

Speaking of cowntdowns, LSUUUUU will be kicking off in about 3 weeks. Which im happy about because i am a huge fan. (i am a fan, but im a bigger fan of finding excuses to have parties.) 

ohh chips and dip.

ohh purple and gold.

how i love thee.
