Happy Friday, cuties! It's been a bit quiet on the blog lately, but for good reason! Something very exciting is coming to the blog soon, and I can't wait to share with you all. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you SO much for the support, and I hope you have a lovely weekend! I'm excited to get a haircut, bang trim, and balayage (my first time!), and go to a friend's Housewarming party on Saturday evening. I've already got the perfect outfit planned :)</div>

Not me! I've been sick with the flu for the last five days, and finally I was well enough to go back to work. Instead of hitting the snooze button like I was planning on doing, I decided to get up a bit earlier and eat breakfast, wash my face (I need to get better at this!), throw on a headband, put on some light makeup, and wear something comfy but also somewhat cute. I'm glad I did because let me tell you, I felt so much better and got a decent amount of work done. It felt nice to finally join the world again. Black suede skinny <a href="http://www.shopcuffs.com/collections/womens" target="_blank">pants</a>, a white long sleeved Henley, and an over-sized camel cardigan with the cutout detail is the comfiest combo for the morning after!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I was sick, Zoey took good care of me (i.e. he slept on my body while I was sleeping), and I was able to re-watch Friends from the very beginning. There are so many episodes I missed the first time around so I'm looking forward to watching the entire series in sequential order. I'm obsessive-compulsive like that! And yes, I'm well aware that there are <b>plenty </b>of new TV shows to watch... but I just can't help myself!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so looking forward to the 3-day weekend!! Just two more days to go... Thanks for visiting today!</div>

<i>Let's talk about my idea of the essentials today!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Little black cotton dress (this one I love with the cutout shoulders and the loose shape, from ASOS a few seasons ago)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Camel and tan over-sized cardigan (from ASOS a few seasons ago, worn <a href="http://everydayelevated.blogspot.com/2016/02/cozy-for-hot-cocoa.html" target="_blank">here</a> as well)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Floppy burgundy hat (this one is a Jessica Simpson one from Marshalls)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Brown booties</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can mix and match these essentials in so many ways and each piece is pretty much season-less. Perfect for the gal on a budget! What are some of your essentials?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Monday and I hope you have a fabulous week! I was sick all weekend and still a bit sick - hoping for better days soon!</div>

<i>Coffee shops + hot cocoa + rainy days = Blogging Bliss</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At least I thought so on this particular day (and yes, it did rain some in Sacramento). These are my first real (not from Target) <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/sperry-walker-fog-waterproofrain-boot-women/4110052?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=Charcoal&resultback=700">rain boots</a> ever!! They are pretty darn cute, especially with the thigh high socks. I got so many compliments on my distressed sweater dress (from Arden B a few seasons ago), as I was working away and sipping on hocho (learned that term from Gilmore Girls - favorite show!) at the coffee shop near my apartment. And don't get me started on my striped cardigan - it's so soft and cozy, I've worn it so many times this winter, as you will see in future posts ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't you just love spending solo time at the coffee shop?! So relaxing, indulgent (with the fancy hot cocoa), and you get to eavesdrop on people's first date conversations! So much better than hanging out at the bars! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you a hot cocoa person? Tell me, do you like the little marshmallows or the big ones - these are important details! As always, thanks for visiting and I hope you have a fantastic weekend!</div>

<i>YAY for my favorite month of the year! Happy February, lovelies!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
February is without a doubt, (one of) favorite month of the year! It is short, filled with holidays, and takes me back to elementary school days of valentine cards, Hershey kisses, and the yummiest Lifesaver <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/131378514104323466/">lollipops</a> of all time... which sadly I think has become obsolete (If you know of where I can get these lollipops, let me know!). During February, I especially love to wear all things girly, be extra kind to others, pamper myself, and spoil the puppy guy with lots of hugs and kisses. He loves it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I adore the heart print on this Express dress (sadly it's not available anymore.. I got it on sale a few months ago)! It is super adorable, flattering on slim figures, and the back is just a tad bit revealing. You can wear it for many different occasions throughout the month, whether it be a casual day with friends, date night with your special man friend, or just any old day! I kept the look casual with black <a href="http://www.shoegalleryonline.com/shoes/city-classified-heat-lace-up-ballet-flat-1070766">lace up flats</a>, a dainty white purse, black cardigan, and the cutest bow headband (which was actually just wrapping on a present). Pretty and girly - just how I like it!<br />
<br />
Thank you for visiting today! And for this entire month, I encourage each one of you to be <b>especially</b> kind to yourself! I know I will ;)</div>

<i>Gotta love a little floral dress!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The "skirt" I'm wearing is actually a dress, and even though it is best suited for the spring and summer seasons, I made it work in the winter. Don't you love when that happens!? Other pieces I love are a gray cashmere V-neck sweater, black lace-up booties, simple gold jewelry, and a burgundy hat - all pieces that can be worn in so many different ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
My friend from college decided to celebrate his birthday in San Francisco, and I'm so happy I was able to join in on the birthday festivities! After dinner at The Stinking Rose, we went to the Marriott Marquis, two places I had never been to before. It was a marvelous evening catching up with old friends and making new ones. 2016 is off to a wonderful start so far! How's your 2016 treating you?</div>

<i>A slouchy beanie is a must-have in the winter, wouldn't you agree?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently wore this sweet beanie and <a href="http://www.express.com/clothing/women/black-high-waisted-atoline-sailor-mini-skirt/pro/7676703C/cat2190033">skirt</a> combo to <a href="http://sacwinterfest.org/">Winterfest</a> in Sacramento, and I had a fabulous time. I found the beanie at <a href="mailto:bonsabol@aol.com">Bonnie' Handknits</a>, a vendor at the <a href="http://www.exploremidtown.org/best-of-midtown/midtown-farmers-market/">Midtown Farmer's Market</a>, It has definitely become my favorite beanie of all time - perfect for those toasty winter days! The floral silk top and taupe booties complete the outfit, and it is quickly becoming another favorite!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Winterfest is a beer and wine social, as well as a food truck social. There were so many </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
food trucks that night, and the best part was there wasn't a wait to get to the food. The proceeds from the event go to support a fantastic cause in the Sacramento area, which makes the event all the more worthwhile. If you live in Northern California, I would highly recommend checking it out next year! I hope you are all having a fabulous January so far, and thank you for visiting! </div>

<i>What better way to keep myself accountable to my personal goals then putting it on the Internet?!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Personal Goals (in no particular order)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>- </b>Read one <b>book</b> a month (starting a book club will surely help!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Participate in at least 3 run for a good cause <b>races</b> (<a href="http://www.letsrocrun.org/">ROC 5K</a>, <a href="http://www.runtofeedthehungry.com/">Run to Feed the Hungry</a>, etc.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Attend at least 1 different/interesting event each month</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Say YES to EVERYTHING* (swing dance lessons, pottery class, spontaneous road trip, photo shoot, game night, dates with people who aren't my usual type, rock climbing, the list is endless - I want to experience it all and get out of my comfort zone)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Smile and <b>say hello</b> to nice strangers in my everyday life</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Become <b>more informed</b> and up to date on current events (This one is big - I'm still searching for a good site/app that meets my needs. If you have suggestions, let me know!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*within reason ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So there we go, some of my major personal goals this year! It'll be fun for me to check back and see how I'm doing! <b>What are some of your major goals this year!? </b>Let's keep each other accountable! :)</div>

<i>Bring it out, bring it out! Bring out the romper...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead of letting one of my favorite rompers* collect dust in my (tiny) closet, I decided to bring it out in January. To make it winter appropriate, I just added tights, a long cardigan, and booties. So cute and perfect for rompin' around all day and night. I wore this romper to run errands in the daytime and then took it out on the town later that evening. Win win!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been raining non-stop in Sacramento! I love, love the rain but my little drama king dog does not! I'm definitely making the most of these rainy, dark days, and letting my mind wander aimlessly. What's been on your mind these days - do share! I hope you are all having a relaxing Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday weekend! </div>

Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend! I went to see a 90's cover band with some friends last night, and had the most fun time! Before that, we were watching this hilarious <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYetZzlVOLI&feature=share">video</a>. Can you believe I had not heard of this song prior to last night? Yes, I have been living under a rock these past couple of years.... Time to find a new home ;)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Or this lovely lace <a href="http://www.shopcuffs.com/collections/womens/products/dark-teal-lace-cocktail-dress">dress</a> for that matter, worn <a href="http://everydayelevated.blogspot.com/2015/12/three-holiday-party-outfits-classy-cozy.html">here</a> as well. During Christmas week last year, <a href="http://www.joshochner.com/">Josh</a>, a new friend of mine, invited me to do a Christmas Lights photo shoot in front of the State Capitol. Of course I said yes! An opportunity to have photos taken by someone other than me? And an opportunity to wear a beautiful dress? Oh heck yes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was a bit awkward in front of the camera, but Josh made me feel really comfortable. I had a fabulous time, and I really like how the pictures came out. I'm so grateful for fun opportunities like this. Thank you, Josh!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a super busy week so I'll keep this short. I hope your 2016 is off to a great start! (Is it?! I would love to know!)</div>

<i>My little blog turns one today!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started my blog exactly one year ago today, not really expecting it to go anywhere, but here I am, celebrating its One Year Anniversary. It doesn't seem too long ago when I quit my job, became unemployed (since then, I've found another job) and wrote my <a href="http://everydayelevated.blogspot.com/2015/01/1-dress-5-ways-challenge.html" target="_blank">first post</a> on styling a dress five different ways. Even though I haven't been as consistent as I would like with posting, I'm pretty proud of myself for sticking with it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My main goal in creating this blog was to document my life and encourage myself (and others!) to live in the moment and <i>enjoy the little things </i>that we sometimes overlook in our day to day lives.<i> </i>It is definitely a challenge at times, when we have so much on our to-do list and we are racing around to check off items on our list. I constantly have to remind myself to slow down, and having this blog certainly helps!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My other goal in creating this blog was to maintain and inspire positivity in everyday life, despite challenges, obstacles, setbacks, and disappointments. I want to thank each one of you for visiting my blog, leaving comments, connecting on social media, and responding to emails. It really does make me happy and grateful knowing that I always have this little blog to come to when life gets rough.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>Ringing in the New Year with this lovely dress is sure to kick off 2016 in a sensational way!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On New Years Eve, I wore this beautiful/classy/sexy/sweet dress to a friend's intimate New Years Eve gathering. I was not planning on purchasing a new dress for NYE, but when I saw this dress at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HeartClothingBoutique/?fref=ts" target="_blank">Heart Clothing Boutique</a>, I just <b>had </b>to have it. It is unlike anything I own in my closet, and the price was right, so I took it home with me. I haven't regretted it since...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To complete my NYE ensemble, I wore a new pair of yellow earrings from this cute little etsy <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AmeyaaJewelry?ref=l2-shop-info-name" target="_blank">shop</a>. I added a girlie ponytail, some yellow glitter to my eyes, a gold belt, heels and voila!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now back to my dress! This is the type of dress that I would wear to dance all night to at a fabulous NYE party, such as the Grand New Year Eve's Party at <a href="http://www.fairmont.com/san-diego/" target="_blank">Fairmont Grand Del Mar in San Diego</a>. The long open sleeves add a bit of elegance, while the black sheer eyelet overlay adds some sweetness. Then there's the somewhat open back that adds just a smidge of sexy. All in all, the <i>perfect </i>New Years Eve dress! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you all have a fabulous New Year, and I am excited to continue on this journey with you throughout the year. Thank you for reading and for all the sweet comments that some of you leave me, it really brings a smile to my face. I started this blog in January 2015, and I'm so glad that I've stuck with it. So a big THANK YOU again! Here's to a <b>fantastic</b> 2016!</div>

<i>Don't you just absolutely love dressing for holiday parties?</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I attended three holiday parties this past weekend, and had a total blast at each one. For the first party, a Classy North Pole Party, I reached for my new teal lace dress. The dress is drop dead gorgeous! The lace details, the neckline, the somewhat full skirt - it was definitely love at first sight! I paired the lovely dress with a nude purse and added a pop of red with the heels. I loved the color contrast especially because it was Christmas themed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second party was a more casual White Elephant get-together so I chose to cozy up with an adorable fair aisle sweater, gray beanie, navy scalloped skirt (which is actually a dress!), and casual booties. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The third party was a White Elephant Christmas Dinner party, so I opted to go somewhat dressed-up with a fitted white dress, red heels, and adorable beanie. I love combining sexy with sweet, or shall I say naughty with nice! Ho Ho Ho - Merry Christmas, everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you all have a Happy Holiday season with loved ones! </div>

<i>I am loving how soft and versatile these black pants are!</i></div>

I have a confession to make. These are my first black "legging" pants ever! I always steered clear of them in the past because I thought I was too slim to pull off black pants. But I was shopping at <a href="http://www.shopcuffs.com/" target="_blank">Cuffs in Midtown Sacramento</a> recently, and these crushed suede pants caught my eye (and delighted my fingers - they were so incredibly soft). I love how they have a bit of stretch in them so they can mold to your shape, but mostly I love how effortless and versatile it is. The styling options are endless!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On another note, I finally took the plunge and purchased my fist-ever DSLR camera. I took the above photos with the new camera on a tripod, and I'm so excited to learn more about my new camera! If you have any tips for a beginner, please share below. The photos aren't the best yet, but hey they can only get better.... Here's to hoping! I hope you all have a fabulous pre-Christmas week!</div>

<i>Am I the only one that rolls out of bed every morning and spends zero time getting ready?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems like every blogger out there has the most luxurious mornings, which I definitely envy. But realistically, I love sleep too much to get out of bed any earlier than I have to. However, for this past week, I decided to wake up earlier each morning, and spend some time eating breakfast, picking out a cute outfit, and putting on makeup. In other words, behaving like a semi-normal young lady! I must say that it was A LOT easier to do than expected. Each morning, I felt more relaxed and throughout the day, I just felt more confident and livelier. I'm going to try and continue this through the entire month - wish me luck!<br />
<br />
It also helps when you have an adorable printed dress to wake up to - wouldn't you agree? I love the details on this dress, the vintage-y look of it. I'm excited to dress it up in the future!</div>

This is a delicious, simple, and filling weeknight meal to warm you right up! My co-worker gave me this recipe, and since then, I've made it a few times. There's nothing like a bowl of homemade soup, candles burning, and a Sex and The City marathon to spice up your weeknight! </div>

Are there any soups you love to make in the wintertime? Bonus if it's easy to do! Hope you're having a warm and cozy December so far!</div>

Lately, I've been wearing this simple, everyday fall makeup look, and the best part is it takes less than 10 minutes to achieve. It's a great, put-together look to wear to your 9 to 5, but also works well for casual weekend dates.<br />
<br />
To get this look, I start with the Dr. Brandt primer to even out my face. I apply a small amount since I don't put foundation over it. To wake myself up, I use <a href="http://www.origins.com/product/15348/11641/skincare/treat/eye-care/GinZing/Refreshing-Eye-Cream-to-Brighten-and-Depuff" target="_blank">Origins</a> GinZing eye cream, which feels nice and indulgent on cold winter mornings! I groom my eyebrows with benefit's <a href="https://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/gimme-brow" target="_blank">gimme brow</a> in medium/dark. To add a bit of definition to my eyes, I dab Maybelline's Color Tattoo in creamy beige to my eyelids and blend up to the crease. I curl my lashes, and apply a swipe of the <a href="http://www.clinique.com/product/1606/36482/Makeup/Mascara/Chubby-Lash-Fattening-Mascara" target="_blank">Clinique</a> chubby lash mascara in bodacious black honey, which is a beautiful deep burgundy color (a new fave!). To complete the eyes, I apply Maybelline's lash discovery mascara to my lower lashes.<br />
<br />
For my cheeks, I use ColourPop's Super Shock Cheek in <a href="https://colourpop.com/product/sheets/" target="_blank">Between the Sheets</a>, and add some of ColourPop's highlighter in <a href="https://colourpop.com/product/wisp-2/" target="_blank">Wisp</a>. To finish the look, I use ColorPop's lippie stix in <a href="https://colourpop.com/product/grunge/" target="_blank">grunge</a>, which is a super flattering deep brown-mauve shade.<br />
<br />
This makeup look is so beautiful for the fall time, and another bonus is you don't need any brushes to get the look. It is perfect to add to your on-the-go collection, which is a must for cold and busy fall/winter days!<br />
<br />
What are some of your favorite fall makeup finds?

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope you are all having a nice week so far. I've been pretty busy at work, and working on side projects in the evenings. I wore this outfit to work and a networking event the other day, and had a marvelous time. It also didn't hurt that several people complimented me on my outfit, which made me feel more inspired to dress up on a daily basis. During the cold months, I don't put too much effort on my appearance, and as a result, I find myself feeling a bit "blah" during the days. It's so amazing what fashion and a little bit of makeup can do to our moods - you feel instantly uplifted.</div>

Burgundy is such a beautiful color and one of my cold weather favorites. I've worn this hat several times, and I absolutely love it. I have also worn this fair aisle sweater a few times, and never get tired of it! It has definitely been a staple in my closet, along with my little black skirt, also seen <a href="http://everydayelevated.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-little-black-skirt.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

I am getting excited for the holidays coming up, and all the holiday parties I've been invited to. I love a good excuse to put on a fancy dress! I will be sharing some timeless holiday looks in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back soon! Thanks for visiting!</div>

Black sailor skirt - Express (<a href="http://www.express.com/clothing/women/black-high-waisted-atoline-sailor-mini-skirt/pro/7676703/cat1910070" target="_blank">here</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sweater - Mink Pink</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Denim jacket - Paris Blues</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brown booties - from Crossroads Trading Co.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Black tights - Target</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tan bow purse - from boutique in Sacramento</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heart necklace - Freestyle </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Like the little black dress, every girl needs a little black skirt in her closet. I purchased mine from Express recently, and wore it out to karaoke for Kasey's birthday. Since the skirt is a bit high waisted, I paired it with a short sweater, threw on some tights, and added my favorite brown booties. I also added one of my favorite accessories, a vintage heart necklace, and a denim jacket to complete the ensemble. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Also like the LBD, the LBS is very versatile! To me, it's an essential item for fall and winter, and I am excited to work it into many outfit ideas in the upcoming months. It is the perfect length and can be worn to work, to a party, or worn with a simple gray t-shirt for a casual look. I don't usually shop at the mall very often, but I just couldn't resist this skirt. I have a feeling I'm going to be getting a ton of use from this piece, so to me, it is worth the heftier price tag.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Do you shop at the mall often? What are some of your favorite stores? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you're enjoying the colder months!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
White dress - Ark and Co (from asos.com)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Long overdue, but these pictures were taken in Santa Fe back in mid-September. My work sent me to Santa Fe for a work event, and I was able to explore the city for an afternoon and a few evenings. It was my first time in Santa Fe, or in New Mexico for that matter, and I had a wonderful time exploring downtown Santa Fe. I really, really wanted to check out the ruins, but just did not have any time! Sigh, the downside of work travels...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Santa Fe is a city with the most spectacular clouds, rich history, artisans, and beautiful and distinguishable architecture. While there, I was able to see the oldest church structure in the US, Palace of the Governor, Cathedral Basilica, purchase some awesome jewelry from local artisans, and visit the Loretto Chapel and see the mysterious staircase. To explore the city, I wore one of my favorite white, delicate dress, and simple black sandals. The dress complemented the history of the city quite well, and I was stopped several times by strangers complimenting me on my dress. Gotta love kind strangers with great taste in women's fashion ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After leaving Santa Fe, I've been feeling like I want to travel more. Thankfully, I have a fabulous friend who is wonderful companion, and together, we will be embarking on some crazy adventures in the near future! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Life has been pretty busy lately, and with the new fall season upon us, I've been feeling a bit unsettled and very restless. There are many new changes coming soon, and I'm pretty darn excited. See you next time!</div>

Looking at my outfit photos from this week makes me realize I definitely need to change it up a bit! I've always been a girly girl and tend to gravitate towards skirts and dresses roughly 95% of the time. But, I guess that's just me, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I will attempt to dedicate a post to strictly pants. Let's see how creative I can get...<br />
<br />
As I'm writing this post, Zoey puppy is frantically running around the apartment with his new monkey toy, trying to get me to play with him. He is one needy puppy! I'm hoping for a fun-filled weekends with lots of quality Zoey time. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06223661253357921928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900010838537393710.post-66796736615096316172015-07-11T14:05:00.001-07:002015-07-11T14:05:21.641-07:00Workweek Wear: What I Wore This Week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's that time of the week again - workweek wear! My favorite type of post to do! (And by favorite, I mean easiest to do) :)<br />
<br />
The first dress, as you know, is my absolutely favorite dress because it's so effortless and can be worn in so many different ways. You can see it worn <a href="http://everydayelevated.blogspot.com/2015/03/my-favorite-go-to-outfit.html" target="_blank">here</a> for a more casual vibe.<br />
<br />
The third dress (from Target) was actually a dress I dedicated my <a href="http://everydayelevated.blogspot.com/2015/01/1-dress-5-ways-challenge.html" target="_blank">first blog post</a> to. I hope you enjoy!<br />
<br />
This week has been crazy busy, in the best way possible, and I'm excited to spend the weekend hanging out with my family (brother's birthday party and hiking). I hope everyone is having a great weekend and a fun-filled July!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06223661253357921928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900010838537393710.post-62574203285023108472015-07-05T10:00:00.000-07:002015-07-05T21:09:23.667-07:00Red, White and Blue (sorta)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Dress - mimi chica (from a friend)</div>

I love this printed red dress with the adorable triangle cut out detail along the waistline! Recently, I was over at a friend's house, and she was kind enough to go through her closet and give me some old dresses that she no longer wanted/no longer fit. I was so happy when she pulled out the red number pictured above! I love that it it has a clean shape, and the print is adorable. The best part about the dress is definitely the cut-out detailing, it provides just the right amount of skin. I felt so lovely in this dress, and I am looking forward to wearing it out on date nights. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So I celebrated Pre 4th of July by going to a Rivercats game with a bunch of friends. I wanted to be somewhat patriotic in my attire, so I paired my red/white dress with turquoise wedges, and a white bracelet! (And yes, I thought the turquoise represented the "red, white and blue" part just fine! Although, my friend and I had a debate about turquoise, and whether it leaned more towards green or blue. I said blue! Trust me, I'm a textiles major) Ha ha! Although the Rivercats lost very badly, it was still a fun time. Especially when there were fireworks afterwards. I can't wait to see them again tonight! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope you all had a happy and safe Fourth of July! Thank you to those who have served, I am so beyond grateful for your service, and I'm so glad and fortunate that I live in this country! See you next time!</div>

As promised in my last post ... pictures from Father's Day in Lake Tahoe last weekend. My family (and brother's boyfriend) went to Tahoe for the day, and it was a great time. It was so nice to get out of Sacramento, oh so nice! We took a dip in the lake, and it was so refreshing (next time, I'll remember to bring some rafts though). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I wore a new neon bikini from Triangl, which I absolutely love. It runs a bit small, so I would recommend getting one size up. To cover up, a printed maxi dress did the trick. I love summertime dressing - so simple and effortless. What are some of your must-have pieces for the summer? I'd love to know!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I hope you all have a happy and safe 4th of July weekend! Anything fun planned? </div>
