Thursday Latelies

I decided to link up with Bex from Bex a Style Diary and her series "Thursday Latelies." It's just a way to sort of appreciate what's good in your life, whether it is food, friends, family, a certain product that rocks, or whatever it may be.  This was my first time recording myself and doing a video though, so please bear with me.  Happy Thursday!

Organic Outfit

{Shirt: Old Navy, Skirt: Ross, Sandals: Ross}

This outfit came about organically, which doesn't happen very often for me.  Normally I try to pre-plan what I'm going to wear, but today I just knew I wanted to wear this skirt and the rest randomly happened.  I bought this skirt awhile ago at Ross, and while it is a little big on me, I liked it.  I really want to learn how to take it in, or go to a tailor, but for now I choose to pull it in with a high waisted belt.  

Outfit Crush

{The Sartorialist}

It's somewhat crazy to me how this one outfit has convinced me that I need a solid color maxi skirt.  This outfit is one of those that most likely feels like you're in your pajamas, but you're dressed and looking great!  Those types of outfits are my favorite, something comfortable but also put together.

Fancy Shower Curtain

Since my cat has managed to ruin my current shower curtain, I would love to replace it with another, more pretty shower curtain.  This Anthropologie curtain was pinned on Pinterest and I couldn't help but be immediately drawn to it.  It even seems like a shower curtain that you could replicate fairly easily!  I'll have to put my crafty pants on soon and think of how to make one.

Wishlist: Silk Button-Up

{Nordstrom}

I don't think that I'm alone when I say that Equipment blouses are so pretty!  It feels like I've been seeing them on all of the blogs that I follow, and I wish that I could add one to my closet but it's a shame that they're so expensive.  All of the shirts above are my favorite from Equipment, but I think that the black and white one is my favorite because it's so classic looking!

Fleur De Sel Caramels

I'm planning on making these caramels for a family get together I'm going to, but I've never made anything requiring a candy thermometer before.  Any tips or tricks from you would be appreciated? Is it okay to use a meat thermometer (clean of course) instead?

Outfit Crush

{Button-Up: Old Navy, Shorts: Forever 21, Belt: H&M, Heels: Nine West}

You didn't think that I had forgotten about all of my Outfit Crushes did you?  Well I'm happy to say that it's back and today I even added my own take on the "crush."  Luckily I was able to wear it during the 30 or so minutes of sunshine we've had this week before changing into warmer and more waterproof clothes.
