Gladiators

 First off, thank you to all who participated in our first giveaway! Congrats to our winner and we hope you have an amazing date with yo man ;) 

So we had a MAJOR melt down this weekend…  
Norman Reedus has cancelled! I repeat:

NORMAN FREAKIN REEDUS HAS CANCELLED SLC COMICON.


 For those of you who are scratching your head right now, he is the very delicious Daryl on The Walking Dead television series. It is the only reason we were planning on attending with the other characters being a bonus. It seriously was going to be amazing watching Jamie losing her cool while drooling as he stood in front of her. . Seriously. People may not know anything about her but they all seem to know of her love for NR. And that's it ha ha...They better make it up to us by replacing him with Justin Timberlake. There really is no other option. 
-sad face emoji, sad face emoji, no kissy face emoji for Jamie
In the meantime.. Maybe THIS will ease the pain.

Anyway..
They came! They are more glorious that I could of imagined! I just want to run down the street and yell something crazy looking barbaric! No seriously you guys… I L-O-V-E them. Meaning my Gladiators of course! I ended up going with these faux leather cut out gladiators by Breckelles. At $27 shipped I am 100% happy with this purchase. Remember THESE boots I posted about on our first Favsie Friday? They are by Breckelles so I TOTALLY trusted that even at this low price they would be fantastic quality. I was right! YES! 






Aren't they amazing? And they aren't uncomfortable either! I've been thinking about how to style them without wearing short skirts or shorts. They are darling when paired with those but that is not an option for me. I'm not sure how these would look with Bermuda shorts :/ ... I'll get back to you on that. So for now I figured bohemian style skirts and dresses, high-low dresses, and..... skinnies. Yes, skinnies. I stumbled up this by accident and it totally worked. It might not with every style of gladiators but it definitely did with these!  


There ya have it babes! Conclusion is, I'm in love. I'm going to find ways to rock these all summer and maybe even buy another color! 




P.S. I'm SO happy with them, I got in an abandoned grocery cart and laughed about it... Seriously you guys I wanted to take this cart home. Someone spray painted it half gold and when I saw it we had instant chemistry. Instant. So I jumped in and captured the moment so I could always remember how happy I was about my new shoes and and a gold grocery cart. 
The End :)

Should I go to Battle? Or Not?

Spring is S L O W L Y arriving here in Utah. Mother Nature needs to stop being such a tease. With warm weather on the horizon and a much needed trip to Vegas (The Hubs and I are going to the ACM's! BIG post on that later) I am thinking about my wardrobe. This time last year I was pregnant so my closet is going to need a pick me up. On a budget of course.

Ok Here's the Sitch… I am LOVEing Gladiator sandals! But I don't know what ones I love the most. So I need your help. And if everything goes right, you will love them by the end of this post too!


One day I saw my bestie Kourtney Kardashian wearing these fabulous shoes. Then I wanted them. 
The end.
JK
But Seriously. So I went to my other bestie Amazon.com to see what I could find. All I wanted was a simple pair of Russel Crowe shoes. Then all these options popped up.

* I have a love/hate relationship with options. I can't make a decision to save my life. Just ask the Hubby… I'm not sure he even bothers to ask where I want to eat anymore…*



See?!! OPTIONS! 
-So we have the basic studded 
-All different colors of the rainbow
-Patterns 
-Cut Outs
-Fringe
-Laces
-Heels
-Flats
-Textures
-Real/Faux Leather


And they range from about $20 and up. Obviously I am not KK so I will be searching the deals.

Ahhhh… Whats a girl to do? Ask her friends! What ones are you favesies? What color?
Or do you hate this trend? I love it. I am getting some. And that is that. :) I'll post on IG when mine arrive!
