I'm linking up today with Lauren from Stylelixir to show you what I wore!
I had a little shindig I went to this weekend and this is the outfit I came up with.
My current living situation has minimized my closet to 1/4 of what it really is. That's why I have to get creative and try new things and new combinations.
I didn't have my trusty hubby (aka my personal photographer) with me so I took some selfies with my iPhone.
Please excuse my background and messy bedroom.
A little office chic, a little street fun...
I'm in love with my new iPhone case too.
Jacket - H&M | White Long Sleeve - Ross | Jeans - Guess | Boots - Material Girl | Watch - Michael Kors | Necklace - Gifted
Oh yeah..I also got to hold this gorgeous baby.
Apparently, everyone was telling me this was my best accessory...hmmmmm
My lovely amiga Allie from A Day in a Joyful Life is having a 500 GFC reader Giveaway!!!!
A few of us got together to give one lucky reader a
$100 gift card to the store of her {or his} choice!
Here are the details:
There will be one winner who will be given a $100 gift card to the store of their choice. The giveaway will be live from 8 am ET through next Sunday, January 27th. The winner will be announced on Monday {the winner's entry will be verified!}.
We all agreed that we aren't necessarily fans of giveaways that require us to follow a bunch of people you have no interest in following, so none of the entries are mandatory. I do encourage you to check out these blogs and follow along where you want to, and hopefully we can all find new blogs to read and people to connect with throughout the week! Good luck!
Wow...has it really been almost a week since my last post? Well I've actually been working on this little beauty for a while now ;) And I'm so happy I found some wonderful new blogs to share it with. The lovely Nat at 23seventeen nominated me for a Liebster award a few weeks ago!
I have done this little puppy before [Liebster Award Time], but this time, it's Natalie's rules!
THE RULES:
- Each person tagged must post 11 things about themselves.
- They must also answer the 11 questions the tagger has set for them.
- They must then choose 11 bloggers to tag & award with the Liebster award (nominees must have less than 200 followers). These lucky bloggers must be told in a comment on their blog.
- They must create 11 more questions to ask bloggers they have decided to tag.
11 THINGS ABOUT ME:
1. In mid-December, I signed up to run my first half-marathon in January. Scratch that off my bucket list!
2. My favorite coffee drink is Starbuck's Tall Cafe Mocha, non-fat, no whip, 2 pumps. ooooh, and the infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte.
3. I married my high school sweetheart 11 years after we became "official" boyfriend and girlfriend.
4. My brother and sister have green eyes. Me, on the other hand, I have dark brown eyes.
5. I did a little road tripping to watch a certain come back boyband [NKOTB] on tour from 2009-2011.
6. I really want to travel to Turkey, Greece, and France.
7. I own way too many boots, scarves, and coats for a Miami girl. 8. I've been sleeping on an air mattress for the last month.
9. The first time I got drunk I was 16 with my friend in Mexico.
10. I wanted to be a singer when I was little. Now I'm just a superstar in the shower and in my car.
11. I was in a movie [here]! I actually made it on screen for about 15 seconds! (ok maybe less, ha!)
QUESTIONS (from Natalie):
1. What is the meaning behind your blog name?
My friends called me Andiepants and I love to travel...although I don't do much of it as I'd like to. I wanted a place to put up my photographs from my travels for others to see.
2. Why do you blog?
Now I blog to tell others about me. To vent. To journal my life and my dreams. To laugh at my shennanigans. oh..and to post my photos!
3. What is your favorite song of all time?
That's hard to say. I can change favorite songs all the time. But I guess "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is definitely one of all time faves. The one currently on repeat is Taylor Swift's: I Knew You Were Trouble"!
4. Which hair style do you wish you could pull off. (provide link if ya wanna)
Bangs! I really want the straight bangs hairstyle! Unfortunately my hair is wavy and a little greasy and so is my face. So things get stuck on my face in a non-pretty way.
5. What is your next book you are planning to read? What is it about?
I've been stuck on the Hunger Games since the summer. I already watched the movie, but I figured I get started...or finished before the other movies come out!
6. I will ____________ (fill in the blank)
I will finish the half-marathon in less than 2hours and 30minutes! I think I can. What do you think?
7. What is your favorite app on your phone?
I'd have to say Instagram and My Fitness Pal. However, I think MapMyRun has been my friend lately as well... :)
8. What is that ONE thing you can't live without?
My iPhone. I'd probably be ok with someone stealing my wallet more than my iPhone! Oh wait, that did happen!
9. What is your favorite outfit?
I'm a jeans, shirt, and boots kinda gal. Although a bikini on the beach with a pina colada is an awesome outfit too ;)
10. Chocolate or Vanilla.
Oooh! I can't decide. Can I have both?
11. Tell us the first thing that pops up in your head...
I should be doing work instead of working on my blog! lol...need more time in my life!
1. What was the last movie you watched in the movie theater?
2. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?
3. What did you want to be when you were little?
4. Do you have a bucket list? How many things have you crossed off so far?
5. What is one style you wish you'd never worn? or lived through?
6. What does your closet look like? Take a pic!
7. Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
8. What is the craziest thing you have ever done? Or that you remember doing?
9. Do you remember the name of your first crush? What was it?
10. What was the last concert you attended?
11. What is the one thing you wish you did more of?
And that's it for now!!
I hope you enjoy my questions and getting to know me a little more ;)
Well, it was in boxes...most of it still is. However, I have found a little nook where I can feel comfy and at ease. While I was putting my life away in boxes...I received the BEST BOX EVER!!!
I was partnered up with Angela from Please Mommy, No More Daddies... who is the coolest mom and photographer! I just love the way she documents her life and her family!
Angela...I have a thing (or two, or three) to learn from your photography skilllllzzzz!
It was Angela's Coffee Mug goodies that gave me something to smile REALLY big about!
She made me feel special since she was able to capture different things that I love and blog about in her box of goodies! Some of which, I probably would've picked up to send to her myself! (camera and coffee stuff of course!)
Check out the FUN contents in my swap box!
She knew perfectly well that Candyland is my favorite game AND she even made my heart pitter patter with all the wine and coffee key chains and stuff!
and the Garbage Pail Kids cards.....outstanding my dear Angie!
I loved getting my little fun E.L.F. polish combo pack and what and talking mustache? That's the freaking shit!
By the way...the chocolate and the mallow bites are almost all gone! There's only so much candy you can avoid in between stressful moves!
Angela...THANK YOU... and I know I'm super late, but I know that your box of goodies is finally on its way!!
Make sure you are following Natalie at The Spunky Poser who hosted this awesome swap!
I just joined a blog hop for this week at BlogLoveTherapy! It is a community for bloggers to share their ideas, network, get inspired, and meet new bloggers!
