Awkward and Awesome Thursday

So today's post will be rather short.  Clearly I need to put myself in some more awkward situations for the sake of my blog and my loyal readers!  I'll work on it!

Awkward:

• Trying to cut limes with a dull knife and everyone freaking out that I was going to slice off my thumb.  It went a little something like this... 

• I wore my hair in it's natural state the other day (which is a mix of curls and waves) because I was too lazy to flat iron it.  I've never had so many compliments at work.  They called it my "sexy" hair.  When I wore it flat ironed, they all asked "What happened to your hair?"  Guess I have to give the people what they want. 

• Knowing virtually all of my Christmas gifts since I've been with my mom when she's bought them.  I don't care thought because this year I'm way more excited about the gifts I've picked out for my parents!  Giving is definitely better than receiving!

Awesome:

• Over the weekend my good friend and I went to the Avalanche and Red Wings game.  The Avalanche won, which was very exciting.  But the best part was that I started a "Red Wings suck" chant all by myself at the end of the game.  

• Realizing my scarf is the perfect accessory for Avalanche games.  When I bought it at Forever 21 it didn't even occur to me that it was Avalanche colors.  I'm clearly off my game. 

• On Friday I get to play dress up for a charity gala.  I never get to dress up so it will be so fun.  Now I just have to figure out what to wear!

• Leaving for St. Louis in 2 weeks.  It's been about 2 years since I've seen my extended family so I'm very excited to see them all, especially all of the new additions to the family.  I am however dreading the, "Are you dating anyone?  What are you doing with your life?" questions.  

• One of my tables leaving my $20 on an $85 check.  Thanks bunches kind sir! 

Fashion Friday-Ponchos

Sorry for the "Fashion Friday" hiatus!  But I'm back and my favorite trend of the moment is PONCHOS, especially ones with a tribal or navajo print.  You can dress them up or down depending on the occasion or the weather.  With the right accessories they are so chic, but so incredibly comfortable!

I bought this at Forever 21 and look forward to wearing it tomorrow in the cold weather!

The black pants and booties dress this up and make it so chic!

I love this print!

 This looks so cozy and comfortable, yet more put together than a hoodie and jeans.

The animal print boots bring this look to another level!

 Another poncho from Forever 21 but with more color and interest.

  Ponchos are definitely "in" right now, but it's a trend that you love or hate. 

What are your thoughts on ponchos?

Fashion Friday - Tribal Prints

I'm obsessed with tribal prints right now!  A few days ago, a friend and I were in Denver and decided to hit up Forever 21 since we don't have anything like that up here in the mountains.  When we first started looking around I told her, "tribal prints are in right now."  Well, we kept looking around and apparently that is the number 1 trend right now according to Forever 21.  I found a couple tops that I absolutely love!  Next on the list is a black maxi skirt to make the look really hippy chic!

This skirt is adorable! I would pair it with a simple top and let the print stand out.

This top would be great with a maxi skirt

This is one top I bought.  I would pair this with jeans.
