Happy Thursday! How has everyone's week been? I hope good! Yesterday my hubby worked his first 24 hour shift on the ambulance so I decided I needed to do something to keep myself occupied all day. I went to Home Depot and got several cans of spray paint to distress my kitchen table. I've been wanting a new table for a while because our kitchen table is just sort of blah. So I decided to distress it instead. I literally cannot tell you how happy I am with it! I will probably do a quick post on it with before and after photos soon on the blog for you all! I'm so happy it's Thursday. Tomorrow, my hubby is off, and we FINALLY get to spend more than an hour or two together. He was gone for five days straight and then came home and went right back to work. And so I really miss him and can't wait for some good QT. 

Now on to this outfit. Ya'll need to go get this dress or just click that little button up there and order it! It's only $20! And it's the perfect fall maxi dress. Forever 21 is seriously da bomb. And if you're feeling bold, the dress also comes in cream! I thought about getting that one too but I was planning to wear this to a wedding, and I still adhere to the no white to weddings rule. (By the way, the day I was gonna wear this to the wedding was literally 105 degrees. Needless to say, I did not wear it. :P) I paired it with this hat and necklace that are also Forever purchases and these perfect heels. Seriously probably my favorite heels I own. My feet are sensitive, and honestly I can't wear heels for more than a few hours. But THESE, I can literally wear all day. Love them so much. 

I hope you all have the best weekend! I'm off to Laguna today to do hair and makeup for a test shoot. Always a good day if you get to work with a view of the beach.

Well, I can't believe it! All of you helped me to reach 1K on my Instagram (if you're not following already you should be! @mox_ie). And all I can say is THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. This whole blogging thing was a dream of mine, and you all have helped it to become a reality! I seriously can't believe how much fun I have had with this the last few months! Not only has it been a fun creative outlet for me, I have also already made some wonderful friends! And I can only imagine how much better it will get in the months to come. A special thank you to my family and friends and the strangers who have followed along ever since the beginning of my journey. You have no idea what it means to me, and I sincerely thank you. So cheers to 1K and praying for 14K. :P Because I believe that dreams do come true!

I guess I should probably talk about my outfit real quick! These pants. Do yourself a favor and get a pair! So comfy and so flattering. I love them! I paired them with this graphic tee I found a while back at TJ Maxx and my new hat from Coco Rose Boutique. Loving burgundy right now. 

Hope you all have the best Thursday! Don't forget tomorrow night is girl's shopping night with Triple Thread and Aly of Living in Style OC! Hope to see you there!

God is GREATER

Kimono: Ross; similar here; Boots: Target,similar here; Belt: Thrifted; Bag: H and M, similar here

Can I just tell you how AMAZING this shirt is?! The symbols on the shirt stand for "God is greater than our ups and downs". I absolutely love it. It's an amazing reminder that no matter what happens in this life, God IS greater. I'm not usually one to wear "religious" t-shirts because they tend to be to blatant for me. Don't get me wrong, I will tell anyone who asks about relationship with God. I love this tee because it has an amazing message behind it but also just looks like a really awesome graphic tee. The Light Blonde has created a winner with this one! I paired it with this acid wash midi from Windsor and some boots and a kimono. I've been obsessed with adding a kimono to everything lately because I think it can complete an outfit perfectly!

Ben and I are currently in Utah visiting my brother and his wife and their three girls. We are having a blast! We went on this amazing hike yesterday to a waterfall and also to get ice cream at Farr's, this famous place out here. The girls are so fun and are constantly asking questions and they call us "Uncle Ben" and "Aunt Christine", and I love it. Hope you all have the best weekend!

Good morning, and happy Friday! Everyone always celebrates Fridays but I work a lot of Saturdays so when I see all these TGIF posts, I'm like hold up what about me? I need some TGIS love in this news feed. Tomorrow. :P Ha, but actually I don't reallllly care that much because I love my job!

Anywaysss. I got these pants and crop at Marshall's, and I love them both so much! I can't tell you how many compliments I got on these pants when I wore them out! Such a fun color and pattern! Also, if you don't already have one of these necklaces, you should. I literally wear it three times a week! It instantly glams up the most basic outfit. I'm probably going to have to expand my collection of such necklaces because I should probably stop wearing it so much. Hope you all have the best weekend, and I'll see you back next week!

xoxoxo,

Christine

Guyssssss! I'm seriously in love with my outfit in this post!!! I usually like what I'm wearing but I was especially excited about this outfit! I keep seeing pants like these everywhere and have been wanting some but wasn't quite sure about them. I brought them home and put them on, and my mind was instantly changed. I LOVEEE them! I paired them with this cute crop from H and M and my trusty hat from Target (best purchase!) I'm also loving this necklace I just got at H and M as well!

Today is a very good day. My hubby left last Friday for training, and I have been without him ALLL week. And tonight I'm driving to San Diego to see him for a few hours and hopefully get to stay the night for some snuggles! Cannot wait. And then just one more week of this!
