style icons {darling, creative Bree}

Bree is one of the most creative girls I know.
Her blog is so inspiring to me.
You see, Bree sews beyond belief. {jealous!}
I never wanted to be good at sewing, until I started reading her darling blog.
Not only is she a rockstar at sewing...
She is a wonderful wife to Bryce (who grew up just right around the corner from me)...
She is an amazing decorater....
And she is a sweet sweet person.
I am honored to have her as a friend.
I am featuring her today, because she is so fashionable and beautiful...AND because she creates what she wears! How inspiring!

Without further ado, here is Bree!

Q. I feel like sewing is a lost art. What are some of the benefits of sewing your own clothes?

Good question! There is so much satisfaction that comes when you are able to create something on your own. You can apply that to sewing, decorating, photography, art…you name it! It’s also nice to be able to make something the way you want it. Think about it, a designer will make a piece in what… 4 or 5 sizes? Well how many different body types are there? Millions! When YOU make it, you fit it to you and only you! I love that.


Q. You have some seriously awesome sewing skills, who taught you to sew, and how long did it take for you to master your skills?

My mom put me and my sister in sewing lessons when I was about 10. My cousins also took, so once a week we would all carpool into Mesa and sew away! At the end of the year there was a big fashion show and we had the opportunity to model what we made. I am so grateful my mom saw the need for that skill in our lives. You’re right, sewing has become a lost art, and if it weren’t for her I don’t think I would have realized the importance of it. All through high school I’d do little sewing projects, like putting straps on a prom dress, or altering shirts. I also worked at a bridal shop and learned to do custom beading on dresses. But until recently, I lost much of what I learned. My husband got me a sewing machine this last Christmas, so I’ve been able to start practicing again. I had to re-learn a lot of what I was taught. But I totally enjoy it!


Q. When I am looking for inspiration, I hop on fashion blogs. Where do you get your ideas for your super cute skirts?

I found a darling blog, and that is actually what inspired me to start sewing again. The gal taught classes at Domestic Bliss in Mesa, and I was so bummed I couldn’t attend any of them because we’re living in San Diego for the summer. She’d post pictures of what they were making and I thought “I can do that!” So a few of the patterns came from me being a copy-cat! As I started, I’d have ideas come to my head, and that’s when I really started to create my own designs.


Q. I have heard that a lot of ladies love Walmart's fabric section; however, I am a JoAnn's fan. What is your favorite fabric store?

I’m a Wal-Mart lover because of the prices! The $2 fabric…my fav! Most Wal-Marts have stopped carrying fabric though. JoAnn’s is great because of the massive selection! Here in San Diego there is a store right up the street from me that I have grown to love too. SAS down in Mesa is amazing if you find what you are looking for. You really have to dig though and sometimes you luck out. I got tons of lace there for way cheap. (Lace is my all time favorite fabric!) I guess it comes down to price for me. I hate spending a lot of money on fabric so the place with the best deals is my favorite place!


Q. How would you describe your personal style?

Oh gosh. That changes every day. I love feeling classy and feminine. Heels are my best friend, because I’m short and they’re beautiful! I love lace, chiffon, and ruffles, but I also love me some funk! I think it’s important to say that a person’s style is more than just the clothes they wear. It’s the way they carry themselves and the actions they choose to make. I’ve yet to meet a “classy” woman who has the mouth of a sailor, and little respect for herself and the people around her. You know what I mean?


Q. Who is your style icon?

I get inspiration from my next door neighbor, or sister, or best friend. The everyday women in our lives. The world’s idea of fashion has been turned over to top designers, celebrities, and runway models. Personally, I think Hollywood’s fashion is absurd. Nobody wears that kind of stuff to the grocery store!


Q. Where are your favorite places to shop?

I love little boutiques. It’s there you can find a gem that few people have! Unfortunately most boutiques are a bit pricey, that’s when I turn to FOREVER 21. Honestly, whoever opened that store is brilliant. Good prices and numerous styles to choose from! I also love a good consignment store. One of my favorite places to find designer jeans is Namebrand Exchange. I’ve found a few pair of True Religions for both me and my hubs there for under $50. Which, compared to $200-$300 is a total steal.


Q. When given the choice between designer jeans, or designer shoes, which would you choose?

Oh jeans for sure. I’m totally a shoe girl, but I love cheap shoes! 1. You are able to buy more when they are inexpensive, and B. They get worn out quickly. I hate spending money on shoes and then after wearing them once, notice a scratch mark on them. I justify spending a little more money on jeans because they last forever!


Q. I dream of owning a chanel handbag someday, do you have anything on your "dream list"?
You know, I’ve never thought about it. I’m so cheap (in case you haven’t noticed form every other answer!) I’m the kind of person that thinks “Ok I can either have 1 Betsy Johnson bag, or 5 cheap bags!” It’s all about quantity not quality. Twisted, I know!


Thank you, Bree for letting me feature you!
I am positive you have inspired many!
xoxo to you!
So, everyone...which is your favorite skirt?

things i think are lamespice.

I have always been a leader.

Never a follower.

If I don't like something, I'm not going to pretend I like it, just because everyone else does.

I was thinking about this today as I was eating the PB&J that Ted so graciously made for me.

I thought...."Lauren...dude. I need to write out a list of stuff that bugs me."

And so I did.

And my list will be very controversial...because I am willing to bet more than 75% of you ♥ this stuff.

That is why I entitled this list:

"Lauren's list of crap that she hates but the rest of the world LOVES."

1. "Wicked"....is wicked NOT awesome.

Yes. I have heard the soundtrack. And no, I didn't like it. I was actually quite annoyed with it. So, the music stinks...and frankly, I never liked "The Wizard of Oz" as it is, so I really couldn't care less about the story. What I am sayin' is...Gammage, can you book Les Miserables instead?

BTW...I think that white chick is telling the green chick a dirty joke....just sayin'...

kthanxbye!

2. Pedicures....are a scam.
The first time I experienced a pedicure, was the day before I got married, and it was so ridiculous. People pay 25 bones for that?! I can think of a plethora of things I would much rather do with 25 bones...such as jabbing out my eyes. I will pass next time an offer to go have my feet massaged by a random old man, and then jabbed with a pumice stone in yucky soap water, comes along.

3. Cooler Ranch Doritos

Ever since the great barfing of 2003, I will never be able to stomach them things again.

BTW...nothing is worse than C-Ranch-ito breath.

yes...that was aimed at you, ted.

4. Cucumber freakin melon.

Dude. Why does everyone like this scent? It sickens me. Who wants to smell like a melon? Have you ever smelt cantaloupe? It smells like a fart. True story. Go cut open a cantaloupe and try to tell me it DOESN'T smell like a fart. 10 bucks right thuuurr.

"Yes...please buy our new scent, cucumbers and farts!"

5. Cherry Limemades.

Don't like 'em.

Don't see the big hype.

Nothing to see here...

6. Bead Head hair products.

If I want my hair to feel greasy or look like bed head...I just won't bother washing my hair or even brushing it. The few times I have used these products my hair looks dull.

Want to try a great product? Get Kenra...it will rock your world.

Srsly.

7. Reality Shows.
I don't get it.
I don't see what is awesome about...
American Idol
The Bachelor
{however...The Bachelorette is awesome!}
So You think You Can Dance
{tell them girls to get some clothes on!}

8. Six Flags Lamespice Mountain!

Worst.amusement.park.ever.

Ted just did 4 "Hail Mary's" for the blasphemy I just proclaimed....but it's true.

Magic Mountain is lame-to-the-spice.

Someone throw me a bone....

But really, how is that fun?

That is all...

:)

This is a tag. Everyone do a post on things they think are lamespice and link back here!

Ready...Set...GO!

it is died...but i'm not. coolspice.

Once again, big thank you to all that participated in my debate! I loved reading every one's answers! As for my opinion...

 

Mine and Ted's situation is a little bit different than the average "spouse + friends merge". You see, we dated throughout high school, so naturally we had the same friends. when we got married there was no awkward, "well, Ted, this is my friend...can we hang out with him, and can you try to have things in common?". Ted and I have always been a team. We always have hung together. So, if I text our guy friend to plan something, it's ok...because Ted usually ASKS me to text him. Or if we see a guy friend at the store, I can totally hug him, because Ted hugs them too. Pretty much what I am saying is, Ted and I are chill. Would I ever hang out with a guy friend, alone? No way. It's important to keep a friendly distant. Time alone with a male should be reserved for The Tedward. Also, I would never confide in a guy friend. Once you establish that sort of relationship, you are flirting with dangerous situation. Of course, all marriages are different, this is just how I feel :)  Something I heard once was,  if your spouse lets you know they feel uncomfortable with the relationship you have with a friend, and you ignore their feelings and continue the relationship, it shows the spouse that you value the friendship more than the marriage. Just food for thought :)

 

 

---------------------

 

 

I bet a lot of you have been wondering why the comments from Busy Bee Lauren have been lacking...

 

Well it's because my compy died. After 3 years of life...it kicked the bucket. Along with all of the pictures that I have taken since I have been married. Bummer to the spice, yo!

 

So we bought this:

and I am in love with it.

but it isn't set up yet.

so comments from me will be coming shortly :)

 

 

In the mean time,

Is there anything you would like to know about me?

I am asking all of you to pick a topic for me to post about.

I will make a list and I will eventually try to post about each one of the topics you suggest!

It will be super fun...

So, what do you want me to post about?

Ready...Set....Go!

 

a healthy debate {friends when married}

 

This week's topic is about friends of the opposite sex...when you are married.

Some girls have no problem hanging out with their guy friends.

Some girls think their only guy friends should be within their own family.

Some girls think it's ok to text guys that aren't their husbands.

Some girls think they should only text their husband.

 

 

Growing up, I always related to guys better than girls.

I think it had something to do with girls being really vicious and mean.

{ugh...the teenage memories}

I tended to hang out with guys more than girls.

They were so chill, and if they had a problem, they would tell you straight up.

None of the "behind the back whispering" and crap.

However, the guys I hung out with, were also Ted's friends.

We all hung out together.

 

 

Before I share my opinion, I want to hear your thoughts...

Once you are married, do you think it is ok to still be in contact with your guy friends?

Is it ok to chat on Facebook?

Is it ok to text one another?

Is it ok to chat on the phone?

At what line would you consider it not ok?

Would you be ok with your husband texting or hanging with a girl?

 

Spill it :)

thrifting and a winner!

Prayers work, ya'll.
Let me give an example...

So the other night I literally thought I was dying.
I had this horrible stabbing pain in my right abdomen...
So what did The Tedward do?
He hopped onto WebMD, what else?
Duh.
So after a careful investigation we decided it HAD to be appendicitis.
Now, at this point, I was freaking out because we don't have the money to go to the hospital.
Let alone, the money to have an un-useful organ taken out.
Do we risk paying for a hospital visit when it could be nothing?
We didn't know what to do...
So we prayed.
And prayed again.
And then prayed some more.
Finally I said, "Heavenly Father....if my stomach hurts just a titch more than it does now, then that will be you telling me we have to go to the hospital."
And sure enough, it never got any worse.
However, my stomach still hurt.
Here is me the next morning, with a tummy ache...
Awful, right?
Turns out it was gas.
Awesome.
So what I am saying is...Heavenly Father answers prayers.
He let me know that I shouldn't go spend a ton of money at the hospital, when I all I had was gas.
Here is the picture I posted on twitter on Saturday, to let people know I was still alive...

Anyway, just thought I would share that little gem of spiritual upliftness...

-----------------------

So, it's safe to say I loooooooove a good thrift store.
It's also safe to say I loooooooove clothes.
Ask Ted.
The laundry is never ending, and let's face it...The Tedward does my laundry.
Anywho, this past week I have found a bounty of awesomeness at the "Lauren thrift store".
The "Lauren thrift store" is code for, "I will never tell you the location of the one I shop at".
Now that we have got that out of the way....


1. Designer black, lace dress for.....5 dollars!
dress: 5 dollars
necklace: gift for my wedding by....Lanae! {thanks girl..it's my favorite}
shrug: handmade, by the mama face...she is bomb.

Detail of the hem...
I love that the lace hangs a little bit longer than the lining.

2. Mini dress + sweater + leggings :)
I teamed this sleeveless, mini dress with a sweater and leggings to make it Lauren-wearable :)
Dress: thrifted for 3 dollars {Forever 21}
Sweater: thrifted for 4 dollars {JUICY COUTURE!}
Belt: thrifted for 1 dollar {Rampage}

Sweater detail...
There was a stain on the sweater, so I went to JoAnn's Fabrics and picked out a lightweight fabric in a similar shade and I hand-sewed a rosette onto the sweater. Loooove it :)
If there is a stain or a rip in a thrift store piece, always think of a way you can fix it!
{especially when the sweater is Juicy Couture!}

3. Cute Cute Cute top.
I found this top for 2 dollars from Necessary Objects.
The sleeves were just a teeny bit to short, so I paired it with, yet again..the shrug :)
BTW...the skirt I am wearing is from the thrift store too. It was 6 dollars, by J-Crew.

4. This was Ted's favorite...
Top: thrifted for 2 dollars, by Banana Republic
Skirt: thrifted for 6 dollars by The Limited
Belt: Marshall's, 4 dollars

5. I love me some houndstooth!
So I pretty much an in love with houndstooth.
I dream of owning a houndstooth sofa, one day.
Anyway, when I saw this dress...I knew I had to have it.
There were horrible shoulder pads in it, and a horrible belt...but I took care of that!

Dress: thrifted for 2 dollars, vintage.
Belt: thrifted for fifty cents, {rampage}
You KNOW I had to pair it with my favorite yellow belt.

Dear The Tedward,

Are you my mom? Because your ridiculously lame and witty joke the other night at dinner was equal parts nerdy ted, and a nancy face lame joke.

The joke's dorkiness was so stunning, I took a picture of your dinner, so I could share it on my blog :)

Ted ordered spaghetti...
When he noticed a lone piece of Penne in the pasta, he said...
"Hey look! It's an imPASTA!"
*buh dum bum*

Dear Pocket Edward,

You should always choose a chicken as your mode of transportation. Not only is it eco-friendly...it's all kinds of brilliant.

PS...that robot dance is foxy.

case and point

------------------------

Dear my-brother-ty-who-is-my-bff,

Next time you decide breaking your leg in two places is cool...remember that it's not. In the mean time, I will still visit you in all of your crippledness...and I will still bring your lemon-cream slushes from Sonic...even if that means I will risk being attacked and murdered at that ghettospice Sonic. And...I will even fall asleep on your sofa again, while watching "Rear Window".

Yes. I am the best sister. feel better...kthanxbye!

--------------------

Dear Zac Efron,

You're my favorite. That is all.

-------------------------

Dear Mama Face-who-goes-by-Nancy Face-on-the-blogs,

This right here is why you are the funniest and bestest mom in the world. I will fight anyone who thinks their mom beats you at the title of "the coolest". Peace Out {Kip style!}

------------------------

Dear Self,

Make phyllo-wrapped salmon with brie, baked sweet potatoes, and strawberry-bacon-spinach salad again. I think Ted likes you best when you do.

Dear Blog readers,

I don't know what has gotten into me, but I am about to embarrass myself. I love me some Chicago, and I am pretty sure the entire world loves them some Chicago. They are epic. They are even more epic at 5:12 PM after a hard day of work. I would know. I propped up my camera on the dash, and recorded the following moment of bliss for all of you:

style icons {pretty connie}

Before I start on my "style icon" feature, I want to share my opinion on bikini wearing :)
At a young age I made the conscious decision to follow the modesty guidelines exactly how they are written out in the "For the Strength of Youth"...and to follow them throughout my life.
I feel that if the Prophet stresses the importance of modest dress, then it must be pretty important to dress modestly.
Do I think people that don't dress modestly will be struck down? Heck no.
Do I think less of people that wear bikini's? Heck no.
Would I ever wear a bikini? No way, Jose.
That's just a decision I have made.
Something Jayden said in the comments really touched me...
She said, "Standards should be raised, but never lowered."
Sheer brilliance.
All in all, I thank my mom for instilling the standard of modest dress in my mind at such a young age. It made dressing modestly NEVER a hard decision :)



----------------------------------------



I have a friend.
Her name is Connie.
She is so beautiful.
And super talented.
She has the most beautiful brown hair I have ever seen.
Connie makes me wish I were a brunette.
Connie also has impeccable taste in fashion.
She is always put together.
She is always so so cute.
And she is a young mom to the cutest little boy name Brody.
Connie does not do "frumpy housewife".
She is pretty much the hottest mom I have ever seen.
My goal is to be as cute and fit as she is when I have a baby.
Connie is one of the sweetest girls I know, and I am so glad we are friends.
Without further ado....here is my style icon, Connie!

Q. You are so in shape, what type of exercise do you do? And how do you find the time?

A. I have to give my mom credit because she has always taught me to exercise every day; even if the only time you have is to go at 4 in the morning. It’s harder now to find my perfect ideal time to work out but there’s always a way. I workout when Brody is napping or just some time when Tony is home. My favorite exercise is running; even though it’s not always fun. It’s the fastest way, I’ve found, to get someone in shape. But that’s not ALL you have to do. I lift weights for my arms and midsection, do abs of steel, and pilates. Pilates is great for flexibility, not necessarily working out your heart. Exercise is only a part of being in shape {although I honestly think I have more to do before I reach my ideal weight} but what you EAT really matters. I watch portion sizes and focus on eating veggies and drinking LOTS of water every day. Really, motherhood has been the best workout for me. And if there is one thing that helped me lose the most weight after I had a baby, it was nursing! I would recommend nursing to any mom because it’s great for the baby and great for you!

Q. I know a lot of young mom's have a hard time shopping for clothes when they have a baby with them. Do you take Brody along with you, or do you reserve shopping for "you time"?

A. Shopping with a baby does present challenges; just the other day I had to cut my trip to the mall short because his diaper exploded and I forgot an extra pair of clothes. But I ALWAYS take him with me; I have to because Tony works and goes to school. Now that he can walk he likes to be out of the stroller but I can keep him happy with a sippy cup and snacks long enough that I can still focus on shopping. The worst part is trying on clothes because I debate forever on what to get- so I usually have to let him out otherwise he’ll scream his head off. And then when I do, he’ll always try to escape under the door. I LOVE when dressing rooms are totally enclosed, it’s such a luxury!

Q. Where are your favorite places to shop?

A. Definitely Charlotte Russe, Buckle, and Forever 21 are my favorites; and I rely on Downeast Basics to make ‘em all modest.

Q. My celebrity style icon is Blair Waldorf, who is yours?

A. I don’t watch much TV so I don’t pay that much attention to celebrities… I look to everyone around me for inspiration! But I would love to have Amanda Bynes’ wardrobe from “What I Like About You”.

Q. Would you consider yourself a person who follows trends, or sticks with classics?

A. I’m probably somewhere in the middle. I don’t follow ALL the trends because there are a lot of trends these days that I don’t think I could pull off {like a fedora} or trends that I don’t want to follow {like lamanite shoes up to my knees}. I really just wear what I think is cute!!

Q. I look up to so many girls for fashion inspiration, along with surfing fashion blogs. Where do you get your fashion inspiration?

A. From everyone around me! I also try my clothes on in a thousand different ways and try to create fun outfits.

Q. Who is your favorite Old Hollywood actress?

A. Besides the obvious Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor, I love crazy Lucille Ball! I would watch “I Love Lucy” or movies like “Fancy Pants” and die laughing. She’s really is so classy- while being herself and bringing laughter to people. How awesome is she!? When I was younger I loved Shirley Temple Black. She’s adorable- and she has curly hair, like me!

Q. Out of all of your clothes, what are some of your favorite pieces?

A. I wear a Downeast Basics cami every day- I like the lace ones. They are perfect for making clothes more modest. I love a good top or print dress… besides that I would say my bangles and blingy necklaces. I can’t get enough jewelry!

Q. Given the choice between a great pair of jeans and a great pair of shoes, what would you spend more on? And if so, what brand…

A. Definitely jeans. I love the jeans you can find at Buckle ! Brands like MEK, Big Star, Miss Me… so cute. Although they are pricey, jeans last for years, so it’s worth it. As for shoes, I LOVE shoes! But you can find them pretty cheap anywhere you go. Of course, leather made shoes are way more comfortable than made-made materials, but you don’t have to spend a fortune at a department store, you can go to DSW or Ross or somewhere relatively cheap that sells them.

Connie has been nice enough to donate a bracelet as a giveaway prize on this post! All you have to do is comment and say which outfit you like best on Connie!
You have until Friday at 9:00 PM AZ time to enter!

Isn't the bracelet darling?!

Connie, Thank you so much for letting me feature you! You inspire me in so many ways, and I am confident you have inspired many many others!
xoxo!

a healthy debate {bikinis on vacation}

I once had a church leader tell me that it was ok to wear bikinis when you were with your husband somewhere, but never at any other time.

When hearing that, the only thing I could think of was...

Does modesty take a vacation?

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we are given modesty guidelines. We are guided not to wear any sort of bare midriff. I don't have a problem with people that wear bare midriffs...heck, I even think that bathing suit is darling...but, knowing our guidelines, should we bend the rules because we are vacation?

What do you think?

i love them

I have been wanting take pictures of my best friend and her baby Navy, for a while now...
So on Saturday, we got together and took some fun shots!
It was so much fun!
I even recruited Ted to be my helper, and it was so wonderful having him with us.
He would hold all the props and hold Navy when we were shooting pictures of Lindsay and Dano.
Here most of the pictures, the rest can be viewed on my photo blog in the next couple days, along with the photos I took of Mauri, last weekend! :)

Which one is your favorite?

peefection

Have you ever had a peefection?

Otherwise known as..."Urinary Tract Infection"?

No? Mayhap I should school you in the ways of the peefection.

 

So, I am sitting on the sofa, watching me some good old "Gossip Girl" when I am like, "Zing! I have to pee something fierce!"...so I make a hop-skip-and-a-jump on over to the bano, all the while, unzipping my pants, as to achieve a speedy pee recovery. I had never experienced such an urge to pee before, in such a short time. It was at this moment, that I decided to ask forgiveness for always making fun of the old ladies in the Depends commercials: "I had the urge to urinate, and then I realized I already had pee on the floor". Umm...hi. I never believed that, until my recent travesty.

 

Anyhow, so I am sitting there, waiting for the explosion of pee to come, because surely it had to be an explosion...duh.

 

And nothing came...

 

And the painful urge remained.

 

I thought my body was playing a trick on me. I actually heard my brain laughing at me. It was humiliating, and awful.

 

And then...acid started to trickle out and I was like, "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa?" And then I started to sing "Jump! Shout! Let it all out! This is something I could live without! C'mon! I'm talking to pee, C'mon!" My friends. It was the worst experience of my life. I am pretty sure Ted was scared for his life when he heard me yelling, "Get out pee! Come out fast! Aaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhhhh! What the crap!?!"

 

And then the tears came.

 

And Ted was like, "Why are you crying over pee?"

 

And I am like, "Have you ever peed fire? Because I don't think you have. All I know is this is you and your 'special hugs' fault."

 

So Ted leaves me.

 

It's true. Except he came back...with something in a grocery bag. But I was too busy to care, because I was laying on my death bed...writing out my will. I bet you want to know who I am leaving my Pocket Edward to, huh? Well...not you.

 

Anyway, so he hands me a cup and instructs me to drink. Being a good wife, I drink. My friends....Ted had offered me poison! I yell, "What is this?! Are you feeding me my fire pee to drink!?"

 

"No. It's cranberry juice."

 

 

The End.

 

PS...cranberry juice gets rid of peefections...apparently.
