Potential Librarian

It was so gross today in Utah. One day it's 70 degrees and now it's in the 30s. I definitely won't be missing this weather when we're in LA! We're so excited...even for the moving part. This was our first apartment since we've been married so it'll be fun to see how our new one will feel.

Salt Lake...the Windy City?

Today was soooo windy. It felt like a tornado was coming. After living in Rexburg, Idaho for three years, I've become quite annoyed with big gusty winds.. But I sucked it up and had my lover boy take my pics because it was good lighting today.

Sneak Peek

Today Cindee and I went around downtown doing a mini photoshoot. Then we topped it off with some Indian food...yum! It was fun...except for the unwanted attention we received from a few creepers!! No, we do not want a kiss and, no, we will not go to the bar with you!

Memory Grove

Here is the second dress I received from William Riera. This is the Athena dress. I fell in love with this dress when I first put it on. I didn't like it at first because of the two buttons on the left side of the collar but it fits so well and so comfortably that it doesn't even matter! Plus, you get extra tummy coverage. I wore this around the house all day just because I feel like I'm wearing pajamas....but in dress-form.

William Riera Dress Giveaway (CLOSED)

William [Riera] began sketching clothing designs when he was only twelve years old in Caracas, Venezuela. He used to take his sketches to the family seamstress, who would sew his ideas. ... Although fashion design was his first love, after high school, William began studying Business Administration at Caracas College. ... [He] worked as an office boy at a company that manufactured clothing. With designs always sketching themselves in his mind, he showed some ideas to an employee at the company, who loved his designs. After the company had bought several of his designs, William realized that he needed to change majors. {text}

Now he designs modest, classic, and affordable dresses right here in Utah. You won't be seeing any cheezy cutesy dresses that you see in other Utah-based clothing companies - you'll be able to wear his dresses to church or out on a date and feel feminine and beautiful and never overdone. The fit of the dresses are also impeccable and flattering on any womanly figure.

Why I love San Diego

...because of views like this! I'm not mad here - I am just squinting from the bright warm sun that is apparently foreign in Utah. We are headed to LA tomorrow to check out USC for a second (...for me, and an hour for him) and then we're on the road again. In the meantime, check out another interview at myla rose!

Salking

As a wife of an architecture student, we had to go to the Salk Institute. I wasn't as enthused about it as he was but at least he felt enlightened! ..and then he let me shop at Pacific Beach! But that's what marriage is about, isn't it? Compromise?? hahaha ;)

Middle of Nowhere

Finally made it to SD! That was a long 13 hour drive... We were so tired and ready to get out of the car!! So don't mind my tired face. Okay, I have to go. My nephew wants me to play Sega with him...and he is tickling my feet!

Quickly Now

This is what I wore tonight to the SLC blogger meet-up. It was a blast! I loved meeting everyone in real life and getting to know them - one of the best things about blogging in my opinion. Watch Meg's blog for pics and an update.

In My Bag

I was tagged by Rachael to do a post about what's in my bag. I love these kinds of posts! It's always interesting to see what people are carrying around in their bags. These are the items I carry around regularly.

Accidentally Green

If you couldn't tell already, I am not Irish. Today's green was by accident! I was running late today so I hurriedly threw on what I wore last night while out with a friend (with the exception of the pearl necklaces). At least, no one pinched me today....or last night.

William Riera and Renee

William Riera sent me this gorgeous Renee dress (and two others) to review. This is my absolute favorite from his site. I love the pleated details in the sleeves and at the waist. And the fabric is nice and stretchy!

I actually had the pleasure of meeting William a few weeks ago. He offered to custom fit all three dresses for me!!!! They now fit like a dream. I am not a fan of empire waist dresses because they make me feel like I'm pregnant but his dresses make me feel like a goddess with the subtle shirring and the jersey knit fabric. Just be careful of the sizing - I am almost always a size small but when I tried it on, it was too big for me so I wear an extra small in his dresses.

They are also sponsoring a giveaway on my blog in a couple weeks so be on the look out for that! They will be giving away a dress of the reader's choice and size!! But in the mean time you can check out their page and use the code CLOTHEDMUCH at check-out for 15% off if you need it now!

Yesterday Was Friday

This is what I wore on Friday. I didn't have time to post it until now. It's been a busy but great day for me spiritually. I prepared my Relief Society lesson and was on such a spiritual high that I needed to go to the temple. And I'm so glad I did - it just made me realize more and more how true the gospel is. It makes me so happy and I just want to shout it from the mountains!

Wishlist

There are a few things I would have liked to change about this outfit today. I wish I had a cropped moto jacket. I wish I had a poofier skirt. I wish my denim shirt didn't show so much boobage - I'll have to redo that later. I'm not bitter - I just have a few new things to shop for now ;).

Sweet Androgyny

I've always been a fan of masculine clothes. I think it's sexy when a woman can don a man's clothes and be able to pull it off a la The Sartorialist. I did not wear any men's clothing today so I guess this isn't sexy. I know it's great to balance the masculine pieces with feminine but I didn't want to overdo it with a big necklace or something. Sometimes simplicity is best.

Bubblegum Legs

For my second pair of tights I received from We Love Colors, I chose the light pink ones. It's funny - the colors they show online are a lot lighter than in person! But I still love 'em. I got quite a few stares today. I don't think Utahns are ready for colored tights yet.

The Color Green

How do you like my new green tights?!? I got the microfiber/nylon tights and they are nice and thick - perfect for the winter. I am so fascinated and intimidated by its bright greenness. You guys know I'm a lover of neutrals so I had a hard time figuring out how to wear them. But then I realized the best way to wear color is with neutrals! So BAM. If you guys are looking for bright colored tights, look no further - We Love Colors delivers.

Black Out

This isn't too exciting but it was one of those mornings where I wanted to stay in bed all day! So, of course, black was the safest option. What do you wear on your off-days??

Skirt and Repeat

Thanks to LyddieGal, I was able to hem my skirt properly when I got home! It still has some rippling in it but it looks better than before. The length is now a little above my knees, which is what I usually prefer...
