CUT OUTS ON CUT OUTS

IM ALL ABOUT CUT OUTS... CUT OUTS IN SWEATERS, DRESSES, PANTS, SHOES - YOU NAME IT! THIS SWEATER IS SUPER FUN BECAUSE ITS A REALLY OPEN KNIT WEAVE, WITH A TIGHTER WEAVE IN A BANDEAU ACROSS YOUR LADY PARTS! PERFECT FOR JUST WEARING A BRA UNDERNEATH. I ALSO REALLY GRAVITATE TOWARD HEATHER GRAY LIKE IN THIS SWEATER. AND THESE LEGGINGS ARE THE BEST! I THINK THEY ADD A LITTLE BIT OF EDGE AND SEXY TO ANY OUTFIT BECAUSE OF THE MESH CUT OUTS. THEY ARE MORE OR LESS NOTICEABLE IN DIFFERENT LIGHTING WHICH I THINK IS FUN. :)

UN-FUR-GETTABLE

OH MY GOSH, THIS TITLE IS SO SILLY, I HAD TO USE IT! LOL ;) ALRIGHT, SO I AM LATE TO JUMP ON THE FUR BANDWAGON BECAUSE I FELT LIKE FUR COATS WERE SO LARGE AND IN CHARGE, AS WELL AS A LITTLE BIT OLD GRANDMA-ESQUE IF NOT DONE RIGHT. BUT IM NOT TOO PROUD TO SAY THAT I WAS IGNORANT ON THE TOPIC BECAUSE NOW THAT I'VE DIPPED MY TOES, I NOW GET IT! I STARTED WITH THIS FAUX FUR VEST SINCE IT WAS WITHIN MY COMFORT ZONE, AND HAVE ALREADY MADE ANOTHER FAUX FUR PURCHASE, WHICH WILL BE COMING TO THE BLOG SOON!

RED RED WINE

IM NOT SURE WHY I GRAVITATE SO MUCH TOWARD DARK COLORS BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED HERE. THE GOLD ZIPPERS ON THIS JACKET REMINDED ME OF THE OH-SO-POPULAR COATED SKINNIES I WORE ON THIS POST. OH AND FYI, KOO DE KER WAS FINALLY ABLE TO RESTOCK THE SKINNIES BUT THE WAITING LIST IS SUPER LONG SO GET THEM QUICK!

THESE RED WINE LIQUID LEGGINGS JUST HAPPEN TO BE IN THE "IT" COLOR FOR FALL/WINTER AND ME LIKEY! DEFINITELY CHECK OUT WWW.STYLELATELY.COM IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY. THEY CARRY SO MANY CUTE ITEMS AT SUCH A GREAT PRICE! :)

MUSIC MONDAY // MACKLEMORE

I CANNOT GO ANOTHER MUSIC MONDAY WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT THE AMAZING BEN HAGGERTY, KNOWN BY HIS STAGE NAME, MACKLEMORE. EVERY SONG OF HIS THAT HITS THE RADIO, ENDS UP ON REPEAT. "CANT HOLD US" HAS SUCH AN AWESOME BEAT AND IS THE ULTIMATE SONG TO BLAST. I'M ACTUALLY A CLOSET RAPPER SO THIS SONG IS A SUPER FUN ONE TO SING HAHA! :)

"WE CAME HERE TO LIVE LIFE LIKE NOBODY WAS WATCHING"

BUT MUSIC IS NOT JUST ABOUT A MELODY TO ME. LYRICS MEAN EVERYTHING AND HE STARTED WRITING HIS OWN AT JUST 14 YEARS OLD. I HAD SERIOUS CHILLS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD "SAME LOVE". HIS LYRICS SPOKE TO ME ON SUCH A DEEP LEVEL. THE WAY HE EXPRESSED HIS THOUGHTS FELT SO CONGRUENT WITH MY OWN. I AM SO INTRIGUED AND DRAWN TO AN INTELLECTUAL MIND SO ITS NO SHOCKER THAT I LOVE MACKLEMORE, AS WELL AS HIS CHOICE OF WORDS IN HIS SONGS.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, I'M A FAN!  AND I WANT TO BE FRIENDS...JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE. ;)

LET THE NIGHT COME, BEFORE THE FIGHTS WON

SOME MIGHT RUN AGAINST THE TEST

BUT THOSE THAT TRIUMPH, EMBRACE THE FIGHT CAUSE

THEIR FEARS THEN PROVE THAT COURAGE EXISTS

CHANEL

I HAVE SO MANY OF THESE DESIGNER INSPIRED TEES AND HEY, I SAY THE MORE THE MERRIER! THIS TEE IS THE SNUGGEST OF ALL THE ONES I OWN BUT I USUALLY BUY A SIZE TOO BIG SO THEY ARE LONGER AND LOOSER. THAT WAY I CAN WEAR THEM WITH LEGGINGS OR KNOTTED ON THE SIDE. I'M ALSO A BIG FAN OF CAMO PRINT BUT ONLY WHEN ITS MUTED DOWN A BIT. I DON'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE I'M WEARING A COW PRINT, IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN. :) XX

NAVAJO

MY HUBBY AND I WANDERED INTO ALEX AND ANI AT THEIR GRAND OPENING LAST APRIL AT CITY CREEK AND WE BOTH LEFT WITH A BUNCH OF THEIR BRACELETS. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS COMPANY. THE METAL THEY USE IS INFUSED WITH POSITIVE ENERGY (WHATEVER THAT MEANS, BUT I LOVE IT OBVIOUSLY!) I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE RUSSIAN GOLD AND RUSSIAN SILVER THEY USE SO IT LOOKS ANTIQUE. ALL THE EMPLOYEES ARE SO WONDERFUL AND SWEET, NOT TO MENTION THEIR ARMS ARE STACKED WITH THESE BRACELETS THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO BUY EVERYTHING IN THE GLASS CASES SO YOU CAN REPLICATE IT! ALSO, THESE NAVAJO LEGGINGS ARE A FAVORITE OF MINE FROM LAST YEAR AND I'M SO HAPPY THEY STILL HAVE THEM AVAILABLE ON THEIR WEBSITE! THEY ARE SO FUN BECAUSE EACH LEG LOOKS DIFFERENT. ENJOY ;)

MUSIC MONDAY // BRANDON & LEAH

I JUST LOVE THE WHOLE VIBE ABOUT THIS COUPLE. ASIDE FROM BEING APART OF THE JENNER/KARDASHIAN FAMILY, THEY ARE A REAL LIFE COUPLE THAT'S SUPER IN LOVE. THEY ARE SUCH POSITIVE PEOPLE AND ARE TRUE LOW KEY CALIFORNIA BEACH BUMS. THEY RECENTLY RELEASED THEIR LATEST ALBUM, "CRONIES"  INDEPENDENTLY WITH JUST FIVE TRACKS. THEIR MUSIC RANGES FROM UPBEAT AND PLAYFUL TO SULTRY AND SOULFUL. WHILE LEAH'S VOICE AND STAGE PRESENCE IS QUITE SEXY, SHE'S ALSO VERY SWEET AND CHARMING. GIRL CRUSH ALERT!!! 

ENJOY :)
