monday muse – celebrity blogger style

The moment I met Heather,
(yes, THE Heather from The Secret is in the Sauce & Mindless Junque),
we immediately felt that we had been sisters separated at birth.
Actually, we felt that way before we even met,
but the moment we ran slow motion into each other arms in Vegas,
it was definitely solidified.

True love forever.

Not only is she effing adorable, but she has THE sweetest heart, and the cutest voice you may have ever heard in your whole daggon life.

She’s the complete package people.

And you guys are some lucky folks because she agreed to be your muse for this lovely Monday morning.

Listen up.
And love her.
She’s family after all.

I have to begin by saying how excited I am to be here!
When Summer asked me to guest post about fashion, I had to giggle a little though because after four kids and the recent budget smackdown in my house I certainly don’t feel fashionable.
Luckily, there is one fashion trend that works around my particular couture stumbling blocks.
I’m talking about the boyfriend trend.
Here we have a model wearing a sweet floral sundress.
What categorizes it into the “boyfriend” trend?
Her hat and an oversized jean jacket.

That’s all something we can easily do.
A cute pageboy hat is great on those unfortunate hair days.
And you’d be surprised with what you can find at Goodwill.
We could take that dress and pair it with a boyfriend blazer.

I wouldn’t suggest going to the Goodwill and buying a men’s suit coat here.
Stores like Forever21 are selling this look for a very reasonable price and you don’t want to look like you raided your dad’s closet.
The boyfriend blazer is slightly more fitted and still shows off our feminine curves (which is very important).
And don’t forget about the boyfriend sweater.

I love this look with a pair of jeans and ballet flats.
A scarf in a springy color or a chunky necklace would be perfect for spring.
Don’t shy away from this look for spring.
Have fun with it and be creative.
How often is it cool to wear oversized clothes?
Seize the day, ladies.
Seize the day.

    & UGHHH, Sum, I know. Listen to this: I don’t even like chocolate that much & woke up today thinking, “I want brownies! Lots and lots of brownies!” I tell you, it’s that red button complex. Someone says, “Whatever you do… DON’T touch the red button.” & what do we want to do more than anything in the world in that moment? TOUCH THE RED BUTTON! Just… step away from the sugar. Invest in some sugar substitute! You can do it! The licorice can wait for 19 more days! If you’re caving, call me and I’ll do my best to distract!
