what I wore: dealing with models

top: J.Crew, skirt: walmart, belt: thrifted, shoes: ross, earrings: the limited, bracelets: Tiffany’s, juicy couture, Arizona humane society. So this weekend Brand and I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Arizona Humane Society’s 15th Annual Fashion with Compassion. We each had different duties, and we definitely had a good time. Brand’s main job was to walk the sweetest 5 month old lab around and introduce him to possible adopters. My job was to work with the models. For the record I want this post to be politically correct and I don’t want to step… Read More

my week in pictures: just being grateful

Ahh! Seriously, a whole week gone by and I’ve only blogged once? Obviously there is something wrong with this picture. Guys, I’ve had one pretty stinky week.

Okay, so we made it through this week of us both having school and work,… Read More

how to import who you follow on GFC to Bloglovin’

Ever since we found out that GFC and Google Reader were going away come July, Bloglovin’ became the next best thing. I’m kind of disappointed though, I like having this all in one place. I don’t want to have to go to another source to read blog posts. Plus, I’m not used to the whole Bloglovin’ layout and I’m not sure how the whole thing really works. I’m sure I’ll figure it out though. Enough griping. If you have any tips I’d sure love the help. (: In order to follow your favorite blogs… Read More

my week in pictures

I’ve noticed that when I’m not in school my life pretty much consists of nothing, and work -well and a little bit of volunteering. What am I going to do this summer when school is out?? This week was my spring break, but unfortunately since we are down to one car I didn’t really get to do anything. It was kind of stinky and the days went by really fast, but I did get some things done. Hopefully this weekend we will be able to buy a new car, I’m not sure how we are… Read More
