The Great Gatsby.

To say I'm excited about The Great Gatsby movie would be an understatement! I can't wait! I'm so excited I have butterflies! Haha. Not only is it a great book, but the fashion is going to kill it. It's going to be the best thing in movie fashion since Marie Antoinette, especially if these Vogue images represent it in any way (which obviously they do!). 

.....also my favorite actor in the whole world, Leonardo DiCaprio, is playing the mysterious Gatsby (YUM!), and I think the music is amazing and sets the mood perfectly (what I've heard so far!). I love the whole vibe of the movie I love it all, I really hope when I see the movie it meets my expectations!! 

These images by Vogue are breathtaking and ever so inspiring, my favorite dresses are the ones in image 1, 2, and 4. How stunning! Which are your favorite? 

Dogwood Trees and Houndstooth.

From the moment I saw this skirt on the runway I knew I had to get my hands on it someway somehow. I promised myself that if it wasn't outrageously priced (which I was sure it was going to be) it would be mine! And lucky me, it was a reasonable price! (Well in my eyes, Jacob would definitely disagree though, haha). Anyways, I'm obsessed with it, one of the best purchases I've ever made. And I've already worn it multiple times in multiple different ways. This mixing of floral and hounds-tooth is my favorite though!

Well we are about to watch the season finale of Duck Dynasty. I'm kinda in love with this show and Jase, Phil, and Si. 

 

Bonjour.

Jacob and I have had the past 3 days off together, and it has been awesome! We have done a lot of thrifting (and have found a lot of great stuff!), eating, and planting lots of flowers! Or back-porch is going to be full of flowers this year. We have a "palm tree" type plant, a fern (which already has a bird nest and eggs in it!), peonies (my favorite), some kind of small yellow flowers, and a tomato plant! And his mom made us 2 other hanging flower plants to hang up. It's going to be a beautiful garden/jungle on our porch. I love it!

I wore this outfit on a day we went thrifting and to Wal-Mart to buy some flowers. It was a little to hot to be wearing this, I didn't expect it to be so warm! So as soon as we got back to house I changed! I hate how in Arkansas you can never wear "spring" clothes it's just straight to shorts....or that's how it feels to me!

Sailor Stripes.

I've decided to write more about what is going on in mine and Jacob's life on the blog. But this week is floor-set so I have been getting up at 3:30 (ugh!) to be at work at 5:00 (meh!) and we haven't done much of anything when I get home (and Jacob isn't at work) but watch Game of Thrones (we are now obsessed).

We took these pictures last week while out thrifting (found the most amazing gold, sequin maxi skirt), the weather was beautiful but the wind made it chilly so I threw on my old trusty blazer which I thrifted about 5 years ago (still one of my best finds). And you can never go wrong with a nautical blouse and green pants right!?

Congratualtions 2LT Allen!

 

In January my husband, Jacob, left to go to accelerated OCS for two months. After completing rigorous training for those 2 months he came home to me and was pinned 2nd Lieutenant. I am so proud of him and everything he has accomplished. He has wanted this for so long and he didn't stop until he accomplished his dreams. He is such an amazing man and a great leader I can't wait to see what the future holds for him and for us.

I love you so much Jacob, you are my hero!!!

Sunday Jacob and I finally got a day all to ourselves. We slept in (well I did), and then we ate breakfast, then took a nap (haha), then we decided we were hungry so we got dressed and went and ate, took some pictures, and then did some shopping! Very relaxing and fun day with my love (and much needed!).

While shopping I bought Season 6 of Gossip Girl (sigh, I miss it so much!) and Jacob bought Season One of Game of Thrones. I'm now hooked on Game of Thrones and I can't wait to watch more tonight when Jacob gets off work!

Jacob was pinned 2LT on Saturday! I am so proud of him!! I will post pictures from that day sometime this week!!!
