For Your Enjoyment

October 23, 2012

In keeping with the randomness of Danielle's post from yesterday, I too will share a few random things I've recently enjoyed.

1.Love Does by Bob Goff.
Such a flipping incredible book. I could sit here and write 500 words about why I want you to read this book. Instead just take a chance on my recommendation and read it.
A few quotes from Bob himself.

“But the kind of love that God created and demonstrated is a costly one because it involves sacrifice and presence. It's a love that operates more like a sign language rather than being spoken outright."

“I used to want to fix people, but now I just want to be with them.”  


“We leak stuff we love.” 

2. PawPaw Cream
So I've been meaning to tell you about this stuff for awhile. A family friend that lives in Sydney (Australia) sends me this stuff on regular basis, because she's awesome. Thanks Linda!!
So this is my crack. I use it for so many things. It's like fancy, 100% natural Vaseline. I thought it was something  you could only get in Australia, but amazing news flash: you, yes you, can buy it on Amazon. It doesn't look fancy or anything, but some of the best things don't come in clever packaging. They speak for themselves.

3. Brandy Melville USA
I was introduced to this place when I was in Santa Monica back in March. All their stuff is between 15-50 bucks. If you're looking for the "thrown together, boho/I don't give a crap" look (which is my favorite most days) then check out their stuff. My sweet friend sent me one of their shirts for my birthday last week. (similar to this one). I've since worn it approx 6 times in one week. I can't stop. Now I'm currently wanting this one. If you like Urban, you'll enjoy their stuff.




4. Studio Oh Journals
I bought a new Studio Oh journal from Barnes and Noble. I'm pretty particular about journals because I'm left handed and well, things like desks, scissors, notebooks and yard blowers, aren't made for people like me. Finding a functional compromise to products designed for right-handed people is important. The one I bought does the trick.


5. Sweat Pants
I bought new sweat pants. Not from some unknown, super trendy, fun store, but yes from the old stand-by, Victoria Secret, actually it was from PINK. You may ask yourself, but Kendall, don't middle schoolers and high school girls wear that?
Yes, yes they do.
 Before you go on and judge me, I challenge you to try these on. ( I purchased the heather silver color)
I'll confess I had consumed a glass of wine at a friend's house before I decided to hit up a VS shopping spree, so my judgement could have been compromised. But seriously, these are SO SO comfortable. No, I won't wear these anywhere but around my house, but gosh, I love them.

Glam Up Your Grey T

October 16, 2012

Fact: there are 2 ways to spell grey. I'm going with the "grey" vs. "gray". So eat it. Just kidding.
It doesn't matter how you spell it, the fact is: everyone has a grey t-shirt. I know the one I love to wear is comfy, understated, perfect for lounging. Who's with me?

I remember when I bought my first "real" grey v-neck shirt, from Urban about 5 years ago. I found it on the guy's side. I don't like wearing fitted shirts, especially t-shirts, so sometimes you've got to shop in the dudes area, and I'm perfectly fine with that..

The whole idea of dressing up a grey T is perfect for people like me, who don't always feel like dressing "neat". So let's get out the grey t-shirts, and think outside the box. Here are a few options to help you along the way.

1. Grey T + Statement Necklace

2. Grey T +Structured Jacket





3. Grey T + Fun Skirt




4. Grey T + Heels

Let's branch out. Try wearing your grey T in a different way and see what you think. I'm seriously considering buying  this one. Sad, I just noticed it is sold out. That's okay I can wait. At least its not a guy's shirt. That's a bonus.

Masculine + Feminine

October 9, 2012

As a girl, I find it fun and a bit adventurous to try to mix masculine and feminine inspired pieces together. Fall is finally here, which mean I just scored some amazing new riding boots for my birthday, thanks mom, and I wanted to share them with you. At first I thought, these seem piarate-ish, but then I thought, "oh well, pirates ARE pretty fantastic so who cares?"
Here's my interpretation of pairing masculine with feminine + my new riding boots. 






Hat: Kate Landry, Vest: Vintage/My Mother's, Blouse: Forever 21, Jeans: Ymi   Boots: Steve Madden, Necklace: Stella and Dot




Pantalones

September 18, 2012




Silk Top: Old H&M similar here, Pants: New H&M, Shoes: Lucky, Clutch: vintage, Earrings: Bought in Santa Fe 2 years ago and I love them dearly, Bracelets: 2 were gifts + stella and dot, sunglasses: Urban

I Will Wait

September 11, 2012



Elloo friends. Happy Tuesday. Just thought I'd ask you a question today, nothing too fancy.
Before you click on the address bar and start heading to another blog or checking your email, just answer this question.
What are you waiting on? What are you wanting to happen or change?

I leaned something that I already knew this week. Does that ever happen to you?
Here it is...wait for it...okay now....
WAIT ON THE LORD.  Doesn't sound profound? But oh yes, it is indeed.

I listened to a Mumford and Sons song the other day (thanks XM radio), and boy I needed to hear it. Maybe in some sort of way you'll understand what I mean. It seems like the lyrics are very much intertwined with my prayers right now.
Just listen.



Click here for lyrics. I have to know the lyrics so I don't make up my own version.  My favorite part is this:

Raise my hands, Paint my spirit gold, And bow my head, Keep my heart slow


Why am I so reluctant to wait on God's timing?! His timing is perrrfect. He has my VERY BEST interests at heart. He knows what I need before I even ask. So crazy to wrap my head around.

Wait for the Lord. Be strong, take heart, and wait for the Lord. Psalms 27:14
And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what he was promised. Hebrews 6:15
I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. I wait for the Lord, more than watchman wait for the morning. Psalms 130:5-7
He has made everything beautiful in it's TIME. Ecclesiastes 3:11

So whatever you find yourself waiting on, I hope you know it will be worth it.
