Pinspired – Military Jacket Edition

Today I’m linking up with the ladies of Mix and Match Mama, Pinterest Told Me To, and The Larson Lingo.

I’ve seen military jackets on Pinterest for a while now. I’ve always thought they were super cute. Here are a few outfits that really inspired me. I still haven’t bought a military jacket yet, but I am really considering it!

How do you all like to wear your military jackets?

 

 

Here are some fun options I found.

What’s Up Wednesday with Mel and Shay

So a week or two ago I was reading Shay’s blog Mix and Match Family and she did What’s Up Wednesday which came from Mel at The Larson Lingo. I thought it would be fun to do it this week as well. I did a shorter version and left out a few questions. Check out their blogs for all the questions especially if you want to do one as well.

What I’m eating this week: I found this gelato brand at Whole Foods and I’m addicted. They have a lot of flavors and I particularly love their sea salt caramel and mint chocolate chip. And they make great snack containers after you wash them out. 🙂

What I’m reading: I’m currently in the middle of reading two books.

The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman I just started this one but I’m loving it already. It’s so interesting to hear about the different love languages and I’m excited to find out which one mine is as well as my boyfriends. Hopefully this book will help us understand each other more. All couples can use a little help.

The Kennedy Detail by Gerald Blaine I’ve waited years to read this book! I watched the documentary of the same name and then found out there was a book too. Gerald Blaine was on the Kennedy detail as a secret service agent and has a lot of great insider stories. I am amazed the memories he has and how they agents have held on to these memories for over 50 years.

What I’m reminiscing about: I love reading people’s bucket lists and I have a loose one. It is also ever-changing and I’m always adding it to and checking items off. Here is one of my favorite posts I’ve done about items I’ve checked off my bucket list.

What I’m looking forward to: This weekend Dave and I are heading to Seattle! We are going to be driving, we love a good road trip. (Here are a few of our other road trips Chicago to LA,  LA to San Fran, 2011 Road Trip) I’m really excited to see our family and friends in Eugene, and Seattle, and hopefully camp along the way.

What I’m loving: A few new blogs I found in the last few days:

What I’m watching: I probably watch too much tv. Shows I’m currently watching: the Bachelor, 2 broke girls, 19 Kids and Counting, Cougar Town, Marry Me, and the Mindy Project. 

What I’m listening to: Hi my name is Julie and I’m obsessed with Sam Smith. 🙂 It’s been out for months, but in case you missed it, you should listen to his version of Whitney Houston’s How Will I Know? It is so beautiful! I listen to it on repeat.

I’m also loving Say You Do by Dierks Bentley.

What am I wearing today: My business wear because I’m interviewing for a few jobs this week. Eek, fingers crossed!

What else is new: Tomorrow I’m bringing back Travel Thursday’s and sharing our camping adventures in Joshua Tree National Park.

What’s up with you?

Pinspired – Vest Edition

Today I’m linking up with Mix and Match Mama, Pinterest Told Me To, and The Larson Lingo to share outfit ideas from Pinterest. I’m currently obsessing over vests. Pink ones, green ones, striped ones. All of them! Here is some serious Pinterest vest outfit inspirations for you all! And can I just say that these ladies seriously know how to accessorize with Hunter boots, flats, clutches, and statement necklaces.

 

 

 

 

As if this post wasn’t long enough, I thought I’d add a few vest options, if you’re as inspired as I am and want to look at some to buy.

 

This pink puffer from Kohl’s is on sale for $24.99!

This pink one is from Nordstorm and is currently 50%, at $44.49 right now.

 

I found a red puffer vest at Macy’s for just under $30, at $28.99!

 

This navy vest is also from Macy’s but is a little pricer, coming in at $89.99.

 

This striped vest is the exact one from the picture above, with the girl in hot pink with the braid and gold watch. It’s $68. I kind of love this one!

 

 

 

Which ones are your favorites? I think I’d like a pink one or navy striped one or maybe both? 🙂

 

November Pin-spired!

 

Today I’m linking up with Mix and Match Mama, Pinterest Told Me To, and The Larson Lingo to get Pin-spired for November.

I love the look of white pants, for all seasons. With November in full effect, (where did this year go?!) it’s time to start dressing in fall wear. I found some great ideas of what to pair your summer white pants with: fall boots, chambray shirts, sweaters, scarves and blazers. Which look is your favorite?

Fall Boots

Blazer 

 

Sweater with or without Scarves 

 

 

Chambray Shirts
