Moustaches, Allergies & Christmas Trees & (30 for 30 Day 19)

I think I'm allergic to my vest. Which is weird cause its faux. But everytime I wear it I need an extra Allegra (but I love it, so whatever. I'll just dope up.) Anywho, December is here, which means the hubs and I headed out to get our first married Christmas Tree. We bought a fake one last year, because our allergies are so bad, but the house just didn't smell like Christams so we decided to get a real one anyway. And just take more Allegra. (Are you sensing a theme here? Yes, I am allergic to EVERYTHING.) I looked for a farm in our area to no avail, so off to Home Depot we went. Geoff was so excited about how good all the lovely little trees smelled. I even took a picture of him smelling them. So dorky. And then we celebrated our haul with Mexican food and margaritas. Not a bad little holiday date night of I do say so myself.

So here is what I wore for the Christmas tree hunt. Luckily we found a giant tree for me to pose in front of earlier in the day. (So the post has a theme-Pretty clever, huh? Ok. Maybe not.) This outfit came together by grabbing several things I haven't worn in my remix in a while, piling them on, and hoping I don't look dumb. I actually like how it came out- especially the world's longest socks bunched up over skinny jeans. Only 11 more looks to go...

And last but not least...No more Moustache!! YAY! Movember is over and the hubs' face has returned to its normal (creepy-moustache-free) state. He raised $578 & his team raised $1474 for men's cancer charities. Thank you to all who donated & for all the guys that dontaed their upper lips for a month. I am so proud of my baby!

Currently Craving: Ikat (+ 30 4 30 Days 16 & 17)

There are some patterns, colors & pieces I always seem to come back to. My yummy J. Crew boots I've had for 10 years and had resoled 3 times. Sky-high nude pumps. Multiple incarnations of the little red dress. I always seem to have a version of these things on hand. I'm adding another pattern to this "timeless" list: Ikat print. Its the perfect balance of geometric and bohemian, and is seasonless. And I love any pattern that I can use both in my wardrobe and in my home with beautiful effect. Here are some gorgeous ikat treats I am craving... (MUST HAVE that Anthropologie dress.)

Ikat Gorgeousness by OliveandBleu 

And we are coming down the home stretch on our little 30 for 30 adventure! I'll be honest, I was feeling a little less than pumped about finishing, but just in the nick of time, the lovely Miss Kendi posted a pep talk and I am back on board and ready to be creative. Look out looks 18-30, you're gonna be awe. some.) Here are my looks for numero 16 & 17...(and a cute shot of the hubs' outfit of the day- please ignore the moustache- thank goodness Movember is almost over.)

Turkey Trot (30 for 30 Days 14 & 15)

Happy Thanksgiving lovelies! Yep, I've fallen behind on the 30 for 30, but I am planning on catching up over the holiday (in my defense, I am sick- yes, still, ugh-and have been hanging around in sweatpants and my husband's old band t-shirts. I wouldn't inflict that on you.) But sick or not, I am going to finish this thing! So here's my day 14 outfit along with what I am wearing today (day 15) to celebrate Thanksgiving (wish I had included stretchy pants in the remix options, dang.) I am thankful for all you who visit my blog- thank you for sharing your lives with me. And I'm so thankful for my family, and being home, and my hubs. And for Dayquil. Now off to spend my 1st Thanksgiving as a married lady.

Catching Up (30 for 30 Days 11 & 12)

Happy weekend lovely readers! So, I'm a bad blogger and didn't post my outfit Friday, but I spent most of the day cleaning in yoga pants, so you didn't really miss anything. We had such a fun weekend with my sweet friend Laine and her hubs Dustin- we had Mexican food and margaritas Friday night, saw Lucero and Social Distortion last night at the House of Blues and then had brunch with some friends this afternoon. I'm totally pooped & so happy to be spending the rest of the weekend lounging around the house.

Here is what I wore Saturday night to the concert-my new fave skinny cargos, comfy flats and a printed blouse. Apparently I didn't get Rockabilly dress code memo that everyone else there did.

(How cute is Laine? And the Hubs isn't too shabby either-although, I'm ready for Movember to be over so he can get rid of that moustache. Its gonna look AWESOME in family photos on Thanksgiving...)

And here is what I threw on for brunch today. I have to say- its not so inspired. I'll try harder tomorrow. Scouts honor. (Its a good thing I wore that scarf though- I dumped a Coke all over my friend Julie's car and had to use it to mop up the spill. Its hard being uncoordinated sometimes.)

Some roots and a bow (30 for 30 Day 10)

Hi guys! Happy Thursday! Today is my Friday cause I have tomorrow off. Thank goodness, cause I am sick again. Dang. At least its not strep throat this time- just a little cold. But, being the good little remixer I am, I slapped on some Vicks, downed some Dayquil and put on my Day 10 Outfit. I call this one "Whatever" cause it was pretty much everything that was hung together, and the red belt was on top of the pile. I rolled my jeans a la' J. Crew catalog and I was out the door. We're a third of the way there folks- here's where it starts to get tough.

Oh, aren't my roots pretty? I tried to cover part of them with a big ol' girly bow...
