Thirsty Thursday: Fashion Edition

 
I have been busy getting some things together, so today I just wanted to stop by the blog to share some awesome fashion inspiration. I am in LOVE with great chic style. I still think that this year(well starting next year) is my good year. "26 is going to change me"! I was looking through pinterest today and I was overwhelmed with excitement! Fashion is really my passion. You all should definitely go check out my pinterest HERE
 
I have a bunch of great pins and likes but here are just a few that I love. Enjoy!

On the Rush

 
Once upon a time before I had kids I was 30 mins early for everything. Even if I took my time getting myself together I still managed to always get to my destination early. Then I had my oldest son.......my time then dropped to 15 mins early. Which is good especially for your first child! Right! Then 3 years later my second son comes along now I am always 30 mins late almost everywhere I have to be!! Ugh! Of course for appointments I plan the night before to do everything for that certain day. But what the heck happened!!! I cant seem to get my life on a time schedule after my second kid. Its like he came and turned my life around. Now people know me as the late chick. If they only knew that's definitely not who I am. I have always prided myself on being early. Since my oldest son was born I became a world champion in the fastest shower taker LOL so that definitely helps. I think I have come up on a "Rush Time Method".
 
Here are a few tips that I have found helpful to make a rush day move just a little bit faster. Again these tips work for me and may not work for everyone.

1. Do the things that take the longest first. For me my kids take me the longest to get ready so I make sure that they are done eating and drinking then I put on their clothes and shoes.
2. Occupy your kid(s) with television until you are ready. Television is always a great thing when they are watching the right thing! (That's my motto on kids watching television)
3. Time for you to get yourself ready! Take the fastest shower you can! Like I said I'm a World Champ.
4. Something hanging in your closet is your best option because 9 out of 10 you don't need to iron it.
5. It takes me forever to straighten my hair so updos are my best friend on these days. Don't be afraid it looks messy because its in now :)

DIY Time

 
I was looking around on Instagram like I always do......you know how people are addicted to Pinterest well I'm addicted to Instagram LOL!!! I love looking at stylish pictures. Anyway I ran across this great blog called Small Fry up there and I clicked on the link to the blog. It seems to be based on kids stuff like kids DIY, kids fashion, etc and I just loved it. I saw they had a DIY for a cardboard airplane and I knew my son would love that. I had the materials so I started to make it last night. On the blog they used a brand new box and since I know my son....(the way my son set up LOL in my Kevin Hart voice) he will destroy stuff quick so I didn't want to spend any money on this project. I went up the Marine Corps Exchange, its kind of like the Navy Exchange (for people that aren't familiar) and got an old box. Yes it was a bit worn out but my son didn't care. 
 
Well its done for now. We still have to do a little bit of touching up on some areas that are loose but for the most part it turned out way better than I expected considering the box was so worn out.
 
 
We may decorate it tonight! My son loves it though! He woke up this morning and ate his breakfast inside of it LOL!!!! Here is the link to the original post on Small Fry Blog HERE

Born to be Wild

Born to be Wild

 
Hi Fashionistas! I have been really wanting to start the whole mixing patterns and colors for myself so I decided to go to Polyvore. I love that site because it helps to bring an outfit together that's in your mind. This look above says "Me" in so many ways but believe it or not I have never worn two prints at once. Its so easy for me to put a client in something like this......but like I said on my birthday post 26 is going to change me! I want to start a "26 Things Before 27" list! I hope you can inspired from my look.

Thought It Was A Rainy Day in Cali


Not sure if a lot of you know but it rarely rains in Southern California and I'm starting to think any part of California for that matter! So I woke up this morning to check my Weather Channel app to see if there was still a chance of rain that I heard about earlier this week. And the chances moved up from 30% to 70%. Great right!!! Well that's what I thought......until I have been up for hours waiting for it and still no sign of rain!
 
Since I don't work right now my mornings are a little more relaxed so I started online window shopping. Yes I love to window shop but its also a list of things I look for when I go out to try on. Its a very helpful way for me and documenting it on my blog is a plus!
 
Here are my "What I Want Wednesday" items. I  am crazy.....did I mention crazy over Forever 21. If you look through my posts you will notice a lot from there. At one point in my life I worked a few blocks away from one and I probably went there every single day before or after work. So now you know a little secret about my shopping craziness!
 
Can I just look this cool! Isn't she so comfy chic!

 
Love denim!
 
This legging and shoe combo is a must for me! I'm not sure how my feet would look in this shoe because of the color but I am so willing to try.
 
She is wearing the same leggings and shoes from the pic above but I just had to show how they styled this look. Awesome!
 
Another secret about me is that I had a tumor removed from my back when I was in high school. Of course it left a huge scar. I honestly cant remember wearing anything with an open back since that time. But I am wanting to over come that! 
 
I love this combo! This sweater is beautiful!
 
For some reason I couldn't find these shoes for sell on the site but when I saw them in the banner I said HOT!!
 
Hope you enjoy my picks!

Busy Bre!!


 
Ok so recently I got laid off from my "wonderful" job! I'm not happy but honestly I wasn't all that upset either. I keep telling people that I really feel this was a sign and God is working on me.
 
Since Monday I have been trying to keep myself as busy as possible. I have been doing some much needed house cleaning, hanging out with my two little boys, and of course paying bills and dealing with the separation paperwork from my old job. And on top of it all I have been finally going to the GYM!!!! My brother-in-law is here so I have a workout buddy! Having a buddy definitely motivates you to actually get up and go. This week coming up I will start a certification course for Project Management, hopefully it lands me a job.
 
Today and possibly this weekend I will be working on cleaning my office space....Yikes! I cant believe I even let a space in my house get this out of hand. I really have to do some serious work. Here is a quick pic.......Don't Judge Me!!!
 
 
It seems like it had become my "throw it in that room" type of room. I will have a new looking room by Monday! I plan on working on all of my business and networking ventures too. Just trying keep busy!
