Sorry for not posting a Fashion Friday last week- we were too busy having fun. We went out to the Colorado River again this past weekend and the house we were staying at didn’t have internet. With the exception of that very minor downfall, our weekend was a blast.

My mom always says that if we come home from camping bruised, sore and exhausted, then it was a good trip. If that’s the case, then this trip was awesome. We took out all the water toys and had a ton of fun on the wake-board, jet-skis, sea-doo’s and tubes. The highlight of the trip was definitely the mud fight the last day- by the end we were all coated in tar-like smelly river mud- a perfect ending 🙂

I hope you enjoy my Fashion Friday picks for this week!

Beige Palace Print Skirt

I love the colors in this skirt- it’s such a pretty print.

Manifest Boot in Berry

So cool.

Party Sweater

I’ve been on a bit of a sweater kick recently.
Mosaic Top

This is so pretty.
Ruffle Yoke Tie Waist Dress

This is just a gorgeous color.

Estela Faux Leather Jacket

I love this.

Looking Golden Necklace

Sands of Time Embroidered Blouse

I really like the delicate stitching.

Martha

This website has a ton of really cool prescription frames- and they’re only $99 a pair. I really like this pair- they almost make me want to start wearing my glasses again.

Rhinos are Chubby Unicorns Tee

I think I laughed a bit too hard at this shirt. And that was before I noticed that the rhino was on a treadmill. Speaking of things that I laughed way too hard at, this Big Mama post (and the two related posts that she links to), is absolutely hilarious. I don’t think I’ve ever  laughed that hard at my computer screen. I would have felt sort of dumb if I wasn’t so distracted by the fact that my stomach hurt from laughing so hard.

So. On a completely unrelated note, this edition of Fashion Friday is very solid. And I’m not referring to the quality of the content, because I don’t feel qualified to speak to that. Today I decided to choose only solid colors for my Fashion Friday picks, which is very unusual for me considering that I’m normally attracted to lots of prints.

Just in case you haven’t clicked away out of sheer boredom and quite possibly annoyance at my ramblings, here are some things that I found this week and loved.

Green Three Quarter Length Dress

This is such a pretty color, and I like how simple it is.

Lush Peplum Tee

Is this adorable or what? I love it.

No Fuss Overall Dress

This is the top contender in my jumper search. I really like the fabric of this one, but I’m not sure how short it would end up being. For once in my life, I may be relieved to find that since I’m not 5’9 like the model above, something actually fits how I’d like it to 😉

Nautical X

Gorgeous. I really like all the jewelry from this little company- it’s all so simple, unique and beautiful! A bit pricey for me, but so pretty.

My mom’s first comment on this picture was “give that gal some lotion!”- haha, yes!

Green Long Sleeve Double Pocket Blouse

Is it just me, or does this look like the perfect alternative to wearing pajamas outside of the house? So cute and comfy.

Sash Samba Belt

This looks like it has all the makings of a perfect belt.

Melange Athletic Racerback Tank

You just can’t beat Forever 21’s prices on workout stuff- I have a couple pieces from them that I love and wear to bootcamp constantly. I really like the color of this tank and it’s so cute.

Lingerie Style Top

Oh. This is so beautiful.

Golden State Shoreline Earrings

These are really pretty and unique.

I’d been thinking about dying my hair for the last few weeks, and last Saturday I got up the nerve to actually do it! I’m now a red-head! My hair is a dark reddish purple- I love it. In the sun, the color looks much brighter- I feel a bit like the Little Mermaid- haha. Keep an eye out for a picture 🙂

Even though dying my hair at home was a little freaky until I saw the finished product, I’m so happy that I did it- it ended up being not nearly as expensive as going to a salon to have it done. All in all, the supplies ended up costing me about $30, and I have enough left-over dye to touch up the roots at least two times in the future.

Now for some of my favorite fashion-related finds this week! (How was that for the worst segue ever? ha!)

Sadie Hooded Tie-Waist Cardigan

I love this so much. The color is beautiful and I love the hood and the longer length.

Georgina River Lace-Up Boots

So cool- the color is really interesting.

Pearson Blouse

Of course, I love this color. And the longer back is cool.

Romantic Floral Lace Dress

This is so unusual and pretty.

Isobel Earrings

Absolutely gorgeous.

Puppy Graphic Sweater

I know I just highlighted a similar sweater last week, but this was just too adorable to pass up.

Montage Bib Necklace

Such a beautiful color.

Black Criss Cross Denim Dress

I’ve decided that I want to buy a jumper- I’m hoping that it will be my next dress purchase. The Clothes Horse is my favorite fashion blog and Rebecca, the writer, (above) is the one who got me thinking about dying my hair. Even though I decided not to go teal like her, I still absolutely love her hair.

Faux Stone Cuff

So pretty and delicate.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Jordan

I love summer. And even though I’m totally bummed that school has started, I am ready for it to get cooler. Because of that, here’s a post full of adorable cozy sweaters.

Perfect Solitude Marled Sweater

This sweater is such a pretty color and the cut seems unusual.

Art Nouveau Printed Dress

This is so cute- I love the print.

Apt. 9 Animal Sweater

Oh my gosh- so adorable.

Tahiti Jeweled Fan Studs

Aren’t these unusual and pretty?

Femme Embroidered Blouse

I love this so much. The color, the fabric, the length of the sleeves, the detailing on the front…I love it all.

Sydney Sunset Buttoned Down Dress

Autumn in Helsinki Long Cardigan

This whole outfit is amazing, but I especially love the long knit cardigan.

Good Sport Lace Pullover

This looks so comfy.

Darling Leaves Ring

I really like this- it’s so pretty and delicate.

Razzle Dazzle Elbow Patch Cardigan

My mom has a cardigan very similar to this that she actually found in the men’s section at Target on the clearance rack. I’m so excited to borrow it and get a “new” sweater 🙂

So. I’m feeling a little bit whiny right now, and I’m going to tell you why. If you don’t feel like reading about someone’s pathetic excuses for complaining- skip this section. Okay, here goes:

• I’m feeling a little emotionally delicate right now because of Travis’ leaving.
• My mouth hurts. When you bring up a concern to your orthodontist and he tells you that the problem will be fixed before you leave the office- you know you’re in trouble.
• I’m tired and sore. I went back to bootcamp this week. I’m so glad to be back, but man oh man, am I sore. And it’s hard to get up so early.
• School fully started. ’nuff said.

So onto my Fashion Friday picks. In honor of my whiny-ness, I chose all wine colored clothes- one of my all-time favorite colors to wear. It’s so beautiful.

In fact, not too long ago we bought a wine colored t-shirt to “share”- haha. Obviously “sharing” is just an excuse to buy another shirt that neither of us really need.My mom just got some really beautiful aqua earrings that go perfectly with anything this color.

Montana Dress

Yes, I realize that this dress is almost $200. But it’s so pretty and the detailing is amazing.
