This Month

Turns out that January will find me spending a lot of time in my sweats.

For a few reasons...

1) I should be in sweats at the gym at least 3 times a week (New Year Resolution)

2) After some over eating during the holidays my regular clothes may or may not fit so well

3) We are taking our yearly trip to spend the weekend in a lovely cabin in Bear Lake...reading,

games, polar bear challenge and yes, lots of time just lounging (in sweats!)

4) My house will be clean and organized by the time Valentine's Day comes...and who wants to clean in anything but sweats.

So, there you have it. 2011 might just be the year I let myself go... or just buy a lot of really cute sweats :)

Free Fashion

I am always surfing the web for fun new fashion and great deals (as previously posted)...

Well, here is a great place you can get the scoop on the latest fashion (which is great),

and also they have an almost weekly giveaway! (free stuff, even better!)

Right now head over to http://www.recessionistaparty.com/ and check out this beauty

It is a cardigan that I found at anthropologie for $70 that recessionista has for $34...

Awesome!

Dream

I have a confession.

While I really do love my job, I have a dream job-

(Everyone has those tho, right?)

I would say my dream job is more of an obsession...Let me explain.

When one has extra time and the baby is sleeping, what do they usually do? Popular answers may be: settle in with a good book, click on the tv to catch up on the latest show, call an old friend, do some much needed housework...whatever.

Here is where my little confession comes into play-- I get on my computer and (no, it's not facebook or blog stalk) I look at fashion.

I do. I spend hours upon hours looking at fashion icons, disecting their outfits, dreaming I could afford designer clothes, and because I can't, I then proceed to try to find clothes that can pass as knock-offs for such. It's bad.

So, that being said, my dream job would be to become a personal shopper.

Yup. Shop for other people who actually have money to wear the things I would love to.

Or even shop for people who do not share my passion...or even shop for people just to find awesome deals!

I know, I know. I love to shop til I drop, look at magazines, watch fashion shows on Bravo (Project Runway and the Rachel Zoe project...just off the top of my head), and dream up new outfits...and I probably don't look like it.

oh, well. Just because I said it was an obsession doesn't mean it is necessarily a successful one right? Did I mention that "Confessions of a Shopaholic" is one of my favorite books?

I know, I'm lame.

I also realize, that while my hobby may be completely superficial, it is fun.

I am not justifying it... I'm merely explaining. :)

I put my blue jeans on...

I put my old blue jeans on! (as said by hott Keith, Urban of course)

Everyone loves a wonderfully PERFECT pair of jeans, right?

I do! Just as much as the next girl, or probably more...

So--I went on over to my favorite site for great deals

http://www.therecessionistashop.com/

and found me a lovely pair of skinnys at an AMAZING price!

My friends Leisle Rose and Mckenzie Bowen started the company and have some great merchandise! I'll be having a RECESSIONISTA party sometime in the next few months...so keep checking back for info!
