Holy Smokes-I Met David Archuleta!

Yes, you read the blog title right! Emily, Sarah, and I met THE David Archuleta today at the Deseret Book signing in Orem-just a few words, he is the most adorable, sweetest, gold-hearted boy EVER. 

AAAHHH!! Oh my word, oh my word, breathe...That adorable boy let me take my picture with him, which was quite fortunate because three girls later in line, they would no longer take pictures. I asked him if I could take a picture with him and he replied, "sure, of course!". When Emily went to stand by him to take a picture, he gently grabbed her shoulder and told her that she could get in closer, and Sarah asked to shake his hand in which he did (she plans on marrying him someday). He signed our CD and addressed it to Sarah, Erica and Liz (my Mom)-David Archuleta. After we met him we just stood with our jaws hanging open about two feet away from him staring like creepy stalker fans as he signed autographs...we couldn't force ourselves to leave for a good half hour afterwards because he was just such a pleasure to stare at. :) And yes, we had to get a picture by the Escalade he rode in. How awesome was today?! Pretty dang awesome.

Daily Outfit-Nerd Glasses and Red Socks

skirt: thrifted, shirt: h&m, cardigan: thrifted, tights:thrifted, boots: thrifted, socks and tights: thrifted, belt: thrifted, nerd glasses: walmart

You know, the more I look at these pictures, the sooner I come to realize that I have...how do you put it...a large forehead? Yikes...Anyways, I wear these boots a lot, and I mean more than I probably should...but aren't they awesome? I don't buy accessories or clothes at Wal Mart because I am usually too busy in their book or movie section...but on my way to the cash register one day I scored these glasses! Sure I get a few, *cough*, several weird looks when I wear them, but if i didn't love them, who would?

Craft Night- Cozy Christmas Garland

I'm pretty sure that I promised that I would post pictures of the garland I put together during craft night a couple of ages back...so, without further adieu...I present the Cozy Christmas Garland!

 

My Aunt Lisa bought the darling paper houses for me on sale at JoAnn's. They are meant to be wallpaper stick-ons, but I had to use them for something else. I got the glue, rick-rack and glitter out and went to town. For the snow effect on the rooftops of the house I simply drew a line of glue and then dipped in glitter. With a little red rick-rack added it gave the house a more holiday feel. I created the banners with regular patterned cardstock. All you need to do is cut out a thin rectangle and then cut a small triangle shape at the bottom. Line the sides and tips of the banner with glue and dip in glitter. I sewed the pom-poms onto the banner with fishing wire and then placed a pinwheel over the top. To create the actual garland, I adhered the pieces to a piece of ribbon, and there you have it, a cozy Christmas garland!

Andy Grammer In Concert!

I get a text the other day from my dear dear friend Becca. The conversation goes somewhat like this:

Becca: Hey! Wanna go to Andy Grammer's concert with me on the 16th?

Me: I would love to! Who is the heck is he?

Becca: You know, the guy that sings, "gotta keep your head up oohh ya, gotta let your hair down ooohh yaa"

Me:OOHHH!!! I love that song! Yes, yes, please, please I want to go!!

So I drove up to Murray, met Becca at the Deathstar, I mean the new gigantic hospital in Murray (that smart girl was just getting done with her clinicals), had some dinner and then we headed for the Venue in Salt Lake. 

How was I kept in the dark about this man?! He is HOT! Not to mention his songs are adorable, positive, upbeat, and are about things worth singing about. Could you just wrap him up for Christmas and give him to me? Please?

 

 

The concert was an absolute blast! The Venue doesn't have assigned seating, so you basically just mosh pit it. Becca and I were literally 5 feet away from him and yelled his name until our throats were sore. Can't wait to buy his CD and play his songs over and over and over...

Daily Outfit: Magenta and Houndstooth

 

sweater:thrifted, skirt: thrifted, hat: forever21, tights: thrifted, brooch: planted earth, shoes: poetic license

The clouds outside seemed a little on the gray side today, so, I thought to myself, why not brighten it up with a nice, bright, magenta sweater! I found the skirt just the other day at the thrift store and have been practically dying to pair it with a cute vintage sweater. I have had my eye on that ridiculously cute Sarah Coventry brooch since I started working at Planted Earth. On Saturday, I finally made it mine. Happiness. I've been searching high and low for decently priced Poetic License heels. When I found these on Anthropologie's website, I passed out. Not only because they are incredible, but they are also incredibly PRICEY. Thank you eBay! And to my little sister Sarah, seriously, I hope you are enrolled in photography, you have an eye for it!

Treasure Tuesday!

Drum roll please. I am about to introduce to you the most incredible, keel over, amazing sweater you will ever see...

 

Can you say, HOLY SMOKES WHAT AN INCREDIBLE FIND? This little beauty was discovered late one Saturday evening at my place of employment, Planted Earth.Seriously, if you haven't stopped by the adorable little Victorian house on St. Street, now is the time to do so. I found this sweater upstairs in the clothing section, and boy did I whip it off the hanger! Penny, the store owner, (I don't know how she does it, but she KNOWS the history behind each item in her store...amazing) told me that I won't find anything like this. This sweater was made in Hong Kong with each bead carefully hand-sewn on. It's almost to amazing to wear!

Movie Monday-The Three Musketeers

So my sister Sarah and I have basically been waiting since, oh I don't know, forever for the movie, "The Three Musketeers" to come out. And why do you ask?

I mean, it should be obvious...

Yes, the movie was great, perfect for families, thrilling chases, epic battles, gushy love stories, you know, the perfect ingredients for an awesome movie. But, I mean, come on...we all know that you're going to go see it for him. That's right, the tall dark and handsome hunk that not only captured the silver screen, but my heart...aaawww...

This movie is mine the moment it's released on DVD. And thanks Sarah for screaming declarations of love for D'Artagnan with me at the theater. :)
