Sweet, Sweet Sanford

TA-DA!!!!!!

 They have ARRIVED!!! And I must say... they are some of the most BEAUTIFUL boots I have ever seen!! I am so sosososo glad they worked out! Oooo and I am super stoked about the deal I got. Yes! Brown Boots, I have FINALLY found you! These are perfect for me because I can lace them up to fit the width of my calves. I didn't think I had big calves, but I went through many a boot before I found this baby. How do you little chickie's have such teeny calves? People don't carry you around, do they?  :0 )  Oh SANFORD! How I adore you! Ok, a little obsessed... sorry.

 This is my pup Baxter wee Bax! Well, just Baxter. But I call him everything from Bub to Beetle. Ohhhh he is just so cute! And also very cuddly... as illustrated here.

Beige blazer: Maurices

Blue blouse: Maurices

Brown boots: Sam Edelman

Alliteration: B is the best letter  :0 )

Jeggings: Maurices

Earrings: World Market

Ring: Purchased in Nice, France!

So when I was putting this outfit together, I grabbed this blue blouse because blue and brown are one of my favorite combos ever (yah, not that original, I know...) but I didn't remember that the sleeves were a bit poofy and long! So they stuck out from under my blazer. I was worried at first and thought "dangit, why didn't I grab a different blue shirt?" but I am kinda liking that look! What do you think??

On another note... over the course of this weekend a pipe burst in mine and Kate's apartment (in her bedroom... yeesh) and flooded her entire room in about three inches of water in 30 seconds! Ahhhhh. So yah that sucked. Then, when I went to my boyfriend's house this weekend, pipes connecting to the washer and dryer had burst as well and had flooded the entire laundry room... and when the laundry room had just about as much water as it could handle, it started draining into his basement. When he went down there with his irrigation boots he said he thought there was about two FEET of water! His stuff was floating everywhere.

Ugh. Dang cold temperatures!! New Mexico is not cut out for this! Hey weather, I would like it to get warmer now please... thanks.

Whooo!! Two days of posts in a row! Woot.

Here Goes

Hellooooo everyone!

I'm Brenna.



I'm 26, I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico with my friend Kate and my pup Baxter (oooh see the "B" repetitions??), and I have a passion for fashion. And rhyming. :0 )

Well, a version of "fashion." I really enjoy the putting outfits together, color combinations, exploring the depths of your closet to find things you had completely forgotten about and having them become your new favorite items. That sort of thing. The big feathers, asymmetricality, skin tight, see-throughness of the runway I must admit is a little intimidating to me. Although I do find inspiration from designer fashion, I find the more common, down-to-earth stylings of everyday women much more intriguing.

Which brings me to why I started this particular blog, or how I finally got up the courage to do so.
See, I really like fashion and outfits and all of that, but I am not a stick figure. Nope, I am a CURVY girl. Which sometimes I find can be to my advantage, but other times... not so much. And ohhh I know you see what's coming... as one of my New Year's resolutions... :0 ) ... I have vowed to get into shape, eat better, and yep... lose weight. I knowww it's cliche... but this year I have a feeling I WILL accomplish my goal.
And, I wanted to wait until I had reached my ideal weight before I began a fashion blog, but after much thought, as well as inspiration from fellow fashion bloggers, particularly Tieka of Selective Potential (thanks Tieka!), I decided what better time to start than NOW.

Yes, this is the first post. I JUST NOW created this blog and I know for a fact it will change. I will change. At least that is the hope.

So if you like fashion, if you like reading my ramblings, if you want to support yet another blogger in her efforts to join the fashion community, you are more than welcome to follow me on the journey.

Here goes!
