Oh how i love J.Crew

I LOVE J. Crew & J. Crew Factory. Okay now that we understand that, I had to have this skirt. First off, its modest. How often do I find cute modest skirts?! Okay well living in Utah makes it a little bit easier I'll be honest...but I found this baby at J. Crew Factory (the outlet version of J.Crew). Anyway they had this length in a pretty coral color and two other adorable prints as well. I showed some will power though and walked away with only this one. I wish this was around for my wedding though cause we all know how I feel about mint... It's perfect for church, date night or fancy occasions like weddings. It fit like a gem too! I put it on and felt like I weighed nothing-which is one of the best feelings might I add. So in love. The black sling backs are actually from homecoming my junior year! I haven't worn them since though because then I wore them to a church dance and a boy told me I was gonna pop all the balloons and I never wore them again...until I grew up and realized I would never put any balloons in danger because I am not a clown so I am never around balloons anyway. Plus they are way cuter than I remember them being...but back to the outfit...I wish I could remember where this top is from too, but I cant. Some little boutique or something? I had to wear a tank under it too because obv its see through. I am so in love with this color combo guys! Such an easy skirt to transition from Winter to Spring depending on what you pair it with.

Skirt: J.Crew Factory Necklace: J. Crew Factory sold in multiple colors-it comes & goes Top: old but similar here - i actually like this top better than mine! Black Sling backs: Nine West old similar here or here Earrings: Icing! They have them in gold or silver and I get asked a 100 times a day where they are from. I wear them every single day, they are my go to earrings. They are so sparkly and eye catching and they are like $8-$11 so a steal. 

Let me apologize for these pictures haha, uh well you see I couldn't get over the fence in this outfit...so it was pretty funny and Lyle kept making jokes and then had to pull me through and thankfully there are no pictures of this but anyway....lets hope for higher quality pictures next time...

P.S right now J. Crew Factory has 40%-60% off EVERYTHING in stores or online. If its out of your budget but you love their stuff subscribe to their email list and you get tons of great coupons!! Lyle teases me about the hundreds of store emails I get but I don't pay full price for anything! So it pays off. Also if you are a teacher you get a discount if you show your I.D. I don't know if its at the Factory as well because well I'm not a teacher...but I think it may be. Also randomly the stores have amazing deals so if you can hold off sometimes they have like 20% off the whole store. Don't let the prices deter you, theres ways around them and the stuff is so cute!

What havent you missed...

So much has happened lately...hence me slacking in the blogging department. Things such as:

a wedding

I am so excited to marry lyle for so many reasons but one of them is that not only do i get two new brothers but a beautiful new sister too! I love Arri and we get along really well, she is so fun so im pretty flippin happy about it. She looked absolutely stunning and i am so happy for her and Bryce and their new life together. Staying out in Utah an extra week was definitely worth it- i loved getting to celebrate with them on their special day. Congrats you two!

Birthdays

Not only did i turn 22 but a couple days later Cassady turned 3!! She got lots of fun presents including this dolphin stuffed animal since she recently developed a love for dolphins...My present to Cass was a pair of pink shoes just like she asked for. I had been wanting to do these for her for a long time and i felt like she would finally appreciate these this year since she is a girl after my own heart. She loves all things bling and girly and she just loved these shoes i made her. She tried to sneak a few peeks while i was making them and when i finally gave them to her i caught her kicking her heels together and staring at her feet all night I should start selling these- they were so much fun to make and i already have another request.

Mothers day

I woke up this year and made mom breakfast for her day. We then went to church and spent the rest of the day hanging out and celebrating mom. I got mom some vera bradley flip flops she picked out too. I am so grateful for my mom and all that she does for me. She is so supportive and helpful and i know how lucky i am to have a mom who is so involved in my life and lets me know that i can do anything i set my mind too. With all the wedding planner i am sure to need her help and i know she will be the biggest help. I love you mom!

i ran into this guy

on campus and then at the gym! It was one of those moments where youre like whatttt. i know him! If you dont watch youtube youre like uh who? well if i didnt have a boyfriend and a boyfriends roomie who love youtubes i wouldnt have the joy of watching how freaking funny this guy is. His channel is so random and funny and i kinda had a ahh moment.

i lounged at the pool

The week before the wedding i stayed at Glenwood with some friends. I wasnt working and i was done school so i pretty much just layed out every day... not that i am complaining! If i could get a career in being a professional sun worshipper i would. I had so much fun relaxing and hanging out with Heather.

i picked my wedding colors!!

when i was 5....hahaha but i picked them with intent to actually use them this time. I'm starting to lean more towards just mint and grey with accents of glitter on things since my dress screams bling and the cake i picked does too but i;m still seeing if i can use both colors as accents for now.. I love mint and yellow is my favorite and i'm picturing grey tuxes. Wedding planning is pretty easy.
i saw an old friend!

i LOVE this girl. A-duch and i have been friends since middle school when i met her. We played lacrosse, soccer & basketball together. She is so much fun and stopped in to say hi to the fam. The whole family adores al so shes always welcome. What a great surprise it was!! love you allison <3
