I’m sorry I’ve been so “omgimengagedomgomg.” I just can’t help it. And I’m not actually sorry. I fell in love with this guy two and a half years ago, we went through our ups and downs, we moved in together, we got a dog, and now we’re onto the next journey together and it’s all so damn fun. It’s a pretty fantastic feeling to love someone so much and for them to love you back just as much.  He’s so great. I wish I could say I’ll stop talking about the engagement, but that would be a flat out lie. I’m definitely going to talk about wedding planning because that’s so effing exciting! Especially since we are planning to do a destination wedding so that takes away from some of the stress.

So I only have two outfits for you this week because I’ve been living in workout clothes, sweat pants, and a really messy bun. All I’ve been doing is working on my next cookbook. This weekend I’m turning in the 120 recipes I created for you then finishing up the front matter and all the little extra stuff that goes in it, to turn in in the next few weeks. This point in the book creation process is always exciting because it means I get to concentrate on other things. Like getting you guys more free recipes on my site. That’s something I really miss doing when I’m writing a cookbook. I started this blog years ago to share free recipes and that will never change, so that’s exactly what I intend to pick back up after this is turned in! I just miss the freedom of cooking for my blog when I feel like it and writing freely about whatever is on my mind. Like our engagement. Ugh, Juli stop. My b.

So let’s get to the point so I can finish up my book and get to cooking for you all!! I’m really into this ugly sweater that doesn’t seem ugly to me. I found it on the sales rack of H&M for $10. That store always overwhelms me but I found this little diamond because it screams look at me. It’s comfortable, it’s not too heavy, and did I say it’s comfortable? I want to wear it all the time. Along with these flats from Steve Madden. Flats are the new heel. Just FYI, I bought a 1/2 size bigger based on reviews and they fit perfect!

This outfit will always be special to me, not just because I FREAKING LOVE this top, but because it was the outfit I was wearing when my now fiancé proposed. I really, truly love crop tops. But winter got me down like WHOA because I can’t wear high waisted skirts and itty bitty crop tops. Well, I guess I can, it’s like almost 70 degrees here in Colorado. Do people still believe in global warming or are people just over that? It’s just never talked about anymore about it’s pretty much spring here. I’m not complaining. No sir. Keep the snow in the mountains, I have fashion friday pictures to take.

    On a recent trip to Denver (I’m from MD) I made a specific trip to Inspyre based on your recommendation. I scored an amazing “leather” jacket. Thanks!

    Congrats to you on your engagement! I too just got engaged and am planning a destination wedding. We found a place in Mexico where we can rent the whole resort. Las Palmas in Cabo. 18 rooms, sleeping accommodations for 50. Anywho – have fun planning and I love your ring!

      I just use a barrel curling iron for loose waves and straighten the ends!

    I love these posts! I am a very lazy dresser, so your posts provide a lot of fashion inspiration. Love the green button-back top. And congrats on your engagement! I just got married in June — enjoy the planning! 🙂
