Alabama Losing, Broken Down Cars, and Mustaches...

Yesterday was a pretty eventful.. First, Alabama lost. To Texas A&M.. who else didn't see that one coming?! I was at work so I only had the ESPN text messages to rely on. Second, Zach and his band played a show at the 7 venue in Douglasville. He plays bass for a band called Heartcakeparty. I missed them playing, once again because I was at work. (The show and the game were happening at the same time) There were several good bands there, so I met up with him at the show after I got off.

The most eventful part of my day happened when we left the show. We stopped at chic fil a to eat, and then once we started to head home my car just decided it wanted to stop working. I mean died right in the middle of the road. We ended up having to be pushed by a police car to a parking lot. Anddd dad, along with a tow truck had to come get us. So, I'm carless for a little while :( 

Oh, I almost forgot to mention Zach's killer mustache from last night! It is too awesome not to share!

Lucky for me, it was gone today :)

So this is what my carless self wore to church today. The building is always freezing, so I had to dress warm even though it wasn't too terribly cold outside today.

A Little Brown and Black Never Hurts..

Hello ladies! and gentlemen... I guess it was rude of me to assume no guys are reading this. Zach I'm sure you read this EVERYDAY. :) Actually, in all honesty.. I don't even think he payed attention to what was on here the one time I've made him look at it. At least he acted interested.

 The past few days have been super busy in the salon, and I just realized today that it's only TWO WEEKS until Thanksgiving! Where did this year go?!

Thursday I wanted to try and go a little girly, and mix it up with brown and black. (You know you don't get to wear many colors when adding brown is "Mixing it up" haha)

Today I kept it simple. I was also pretty excited because my black pants were finally black again! I wear them so often they were more like dark grey instead of black.. but I attempted to dye them back this week. They weren't completely black, but they are no longer grey! So I'm going to call this one a success!

Casual Wednesday -- Catch up edition

I have to apologize, it has been a week since I have shared anything with you. I wish I could say I have been busy.. but sadly, I have just been sick. Zach has also been sick, and then we had Silas, and he was sick. Which of course is way more important that what I happened to have on. (Which by the way was jeans and a pull over.. SO not cute) Soooo with a week full of all of us being sick.. I only have three outfits to share with you. 

First, This is what I wore on Halloween. -- Please notice that my hair actually made it up into a baby ponytail! YAY!

I also had to share my brother and my friend Emily's costumes. Aren't they hilarious! Steven looks exactly like my dad did in highschool with that wig on.(and yes, he has on my necklace from the outfit above)

See!!

So, I have a surprise for you before I post Monday and Tuesdays work outfits.

Are you ready?....

I GOT EXTENSIONS!! I'm so excited about having long hair I can't even stand it! I love love love it!! Anywho.. This is what I wore on Monday. I love this skirt, and this was the first time I have been able to wear it. It was a thrift store find that didn't quite fit. But it fits now :) And just in time for Alabama to win over LSU!! Which by the way, was entirely too close of a game and we should NEVER do it again. Seriously was so anxious the whole second half I thought I was going to be without fingernails by the end of it. However, a win is a win.. so I will take it!

Now we have Tuesdays outfit. I know I have worn this sweater in a post already.. but you couldn't really see it in the pictures, and I wore it belted with a shirt underneath.. and this time I left it open. I get cold really easily at work, especially when I'm not doing a blow dry. So this was a good way to stay warm without being too bundled up.

Casual Wednesday- Lazy edition

It's Casual Wednesday!!!!! Also known as Halloween!!

I can't wait to hand out candy later, but as for now I am sitting on the couch wearing a fleece pull over, catching you all up on my style choices the past few days, and catching myself up on some Grey's Anatomy. 

So, since I don't have anything special on right now I will fill you in with my work outfit from yesterday.. be on the look out for a possible THIRD post today to showcase what I will be wearing later!

Yesterday, I was shooting for casual, edgy, and comfortable. I wore a black leather jacket, black and white striped shirt, red scarf, and a black maxi skirt, with pointed toe Steve Madden Flats. 

Jacket: Tj Maxx Shirt: H&M Scarf: Target Skirt: Express Shoes: Steve Madden

I had a wonderful day, full of clients. Including a much needed catch up session with my soul mate, and maid of honor, Shea. I really love my job.

I finished out a long day with not one, but two cups of Sleepy Time tea. My absolute FAVORITE! Seriously, if you haven't tried it, you should. 

Also, My aunt posted this picture of my grandfather on Facebook. Wasn't he so handsome! I am so glad this clean cut, classy look is coming back into style. SO much better than seeing guys walking around with their pants at their ankles. 

Weekend wardrobe- Halloween Edition!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN LOVES! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day, full of crazy costumes and candy. Since today is my off day from work I didn't get to dress up.. not that I'm complaining about sitting here in a fleece pull over and yoga pants.. it's too cold for all that mess.

However, I did go to a Halloween party on Saturday.. So you get to see a costume after all :)

I was a pin up girl.. who was mistaken quite a bit for a pirate. I don't have any pictures with other costumes from the night, but I am sure there will be plenty to steal off Facebook soon. 

Sunday was a day of recovery, and a date night with my wonderful soon to be husband. We have been going to a restaurant in Mentone, Alabama for quite a while now, and the chef has recently moved to a new restaurant. So we decided to give that restaurant a try. If you are ever near Mentone I HIGHLY recommend going to J. Spencer's. It was phenomenal. There really aren't even words. We started off with steamed bread and a field green salad. The salad came with home made blueberry balsamic dressing that was to die for, and the bread had a spread made of whipped butter and blueberry and grape preserves. I could have eaten it by the spoonful.  For our main dish Zach had Chicken Parmesan over angle hair pasta, with butternut squash with cinnamon and almonds. I had Salmon Wellington, which is salmon wrapped and baked in a puff pastry, covered in a cream sauce. With steamed broccoli with the same cream sauce. Seriously, to die for. 

Sorry for the rant.. It was really that good. Anywho, this is what I wore.

 Vest- Zara Kids (here) Shirt- Tj Maxx Belt- Target (here) Skinnies- H&M Boots- Tj Maxx

I was channeling my inner Rachel Zoe with my fur vest. From Zara KIDS. Yes, it is a kids vest. Isn't it insane! I paired with with a black shirt, a nude belt from target, dark skinnies, and my aztec cowboy boots from Tj's.

I Love Me Some Aztec..

The past few days have been busyyy. So busy in fact I totally forgot to take pictures of what I wore yesterday. Well, actually that is kind of untrue. I forgot to take pictures because I woke up late and didn't have time.. then I had my hair colored after work so I can't take them with wet hair.... and then Zach and I went to a show and got back in after 11 so I was tired.. and you cant' take pictures when you're tired and ugly. Maybe I just need to stop making excuses. 

All of that being said. I wore a black and white slouchy sweater from express. Which I also wore in the picture below. With black leggings, and knee high biker boots from Charlotte Rousse. Super comfy. Especially since I haven't been sleeping well, so anything remotely uncomfortable sounds TERRIBLE. 

Gah this picture makes me realize just how much my hair has grown! Because honestly, it feels like it hasn't grown a bit. If I ever start talking about cutting my hair off again someone please knock some sense into me. Worst idea ever. 

Speaking of hair. I have brand new, bright, vibrant, color!!

So, today I wore a black and white chunky sweater, belted at the waist with my grandmother's red skinny belt. I belted to give the sweater shape, but mainly to keep it out of the water in the shampoo bowl. It never fails, anything baggy gets soaked at some point. I wore my hot topic black skinnies, which I absolutely love, and my black Forever 21 combat boots.

I Couldn't Resist...

I just received this cardigan in the mail today, but I couldn't resist wearing it right away. I have seriously been awaiting its arrival since I completed my order. The colorful Aztec pattern is perfect for fall. I'll bet you'll never guess where it came from.. yep, you guessed it. Hope's. If you can't tell by now I am completely obsessed with this store. I haven't been inside a mall or a Tj Maxx to shop for myself since I found it. 

I paired my cardigan with a deep purple shirt, dark skinnies, and nude pumps. Also from Hope's. I belted the cardigan to give it a little shape. It also looks phenomenal not belted.

I also have to share my favorite mug with you! I'm currently drinking Harney & Sons Pomegranate Oolong. Yummm.

 Oh & Btw; In case any of you didn't know. There is a new Tinkerbell movie coming out soon. I'm so excited I can't stand it!

Leather and Lace

I don't typically wear skirts to work, I feel a little self conscious in them. I'm always afraid I'm going to move the wrong way, or go to grab product and reveal parts that clients do not want to see... Or better yet, that I don't want them to see. But, every now and then I have to break out this little gem, a black lace skirt. I love love love it. I know you cant see the detail very well in the picture, so I took one closer.

Also, I took pictures in my bathroom today to see if the black showed up better on color. Let me know what you think.

I paired the lace skirt with my leather biker boots, a striped long sleeve shirt, my go to black blazer, and gold chains. A little edgy, a little girly.

 I also had to share my lipstick today, I couldn't help it!

Have a good day lovelies! Xo Britt

Cooler Weather and NEW INITIALS!!

Post number TWO today!!!

This morning it was a bit chilly, so I decided to break out the sweaters. I had pretty much forgotten about all the awesome sweaters I bought last season. Needless to say, I am looking forward to more fall weather. Get ready for lots of stripes and scarves. I have lots and lots of them! Oh, and I also own 4 pairs of these pants for work. So you will be seeing a lot of them as well!

The most important part of my outfit today is my bangle with my NEW MONOGRAM!! Sure it's still 6 months until they are my official initials.. but who cares. Loveeeeee it!! Available here.

So Many Outfits, So Little Time....

Sooo I have to apologize for disappearing for a few days. I have been a very busy girl lately, and have discovered posting from my phone doesn't work. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.. I don't know. BUT on the bright side, I have been taking pictures of what I have been wearing.

So Saturday at work, I wasn't the biggest fan of what I had on so I'll keep that one hidden. I am, however, a huge fan of my after work clothes. Mom and I went to visit my brother at work and this lovely ensemble is what I wore.

Jacket: Tj Maxx  Skinnies: Target  Flats: Tj Maxx  Scarf: JcPenney

I can't get enough leather in my life this fall. I have multiple leather jackets, so I'm sure you are all going to get sick of seeing them. Sorry I'm not sorry :) This one is my favorite because it is super casual and has the jersey hood connected. Bulky layering averted! I've also been seeing a lot of Blake Lively pictures (here) with her Burberry scarf so it was a must that I recreated the look!

Sunday I went to a Hair Show in Birmingham with some of my coworkers. I totally forgot to take a full body picture.. but you can at least get an idea..

Denim Shirt: American Eagle  Infinity Scarf: Forever 21

I know this doesn't show you much of my look.. but I wore my denim shirt paired with my wonderful leather leggings, and a coral knit infinity scarf. Not to mention my grey vans. Comfy but cute. I wanted to look casually cute since I was going to be walking around for hours on end. The show went well, a little cheesy for my taste, but still fun. It was definitely a great bonding experience for those of us who went. 

Visit later for my work attire today! 

later lovesss, xo Britt.
