Mock Necks and Layered Necklaces

Good afternoon ladies and gents! I don't know what it is but today seems like the perfect day to be PRODUCTIVE. Yeah, I mentioned before that I have been off my game in the efficiency aspect as of late and it has been a rough road getting back into it. With a bit of self pep talks and some stepping outside of my new found, lazy comfort zone, I have been able to light my fire again! Thank goodness. 

  

Anyway, I've decided to feature, not only my store, but also one of my favorite new trends; the Mock neck. They have not been very "hip" in recent years but I have been seeing them EVERYwhere. Whether it's Vogue, Cosmo or even just on the street, everyone seems to be picking up on this modest neck line. Needless to say, I am definitely on the band wagon;)

My mock neck tank, sateen skinnies and layered neckalce are all from good ol' Free People. Gotta love that discount (pretty sure I work for trade). The floor length kimono WAS from Lola Bella Boutique and the black booties can be found at Asos. 

< SamANTHEM > Chromatics - "Cherry"

TGIF!!!! The weekend is here and I'll be honest... I'm still recovering over the passing of Halloween. Seriously, best. holiday. EVER. As much as I'm mourning Halloween's memory, I am SO excited for the upcoming events! Thanksgiving and Christmas? Are you kidding? Yeah, I'm kind of excited, I guess.  The only drawback with the coming of the holidays is catching unwanted germs. I'm sad to say I had my first taste of it this week and I'm still a bit chapped about it. I NEVER get sick and even when I am, I find a way to continue on with my daily routine but this time I was knocked out pretty good. So take your vitamins loves!
Today's pick was introduced to me by a friend a couple of months ago and I've been stoked on it ever since. Cherry by Chromatics gives off more a retro feel than we're used to these days but that is why I dig it. I'm sure many of you were like me and had heard the sample featured in ScHoolboy Q's Man of the Year. Don't get me wrong, I was wayyy big on that song for quite some time and I still am! But hearing Chromatic's version of it was definitely a treat to my young ears.

Have a GLORIOUS weekend:) Get out and enjoy this gorgeous planet we call home.

< SamANTHEM > Wild Nothing - Chinatown

I know I said SamANTHEM was to be posted on Fridays but hey, why not post one on a beautiful, crisp November Monday? When I say crisp, I mean it. Fall is in full swing here in SLC and I'm diggin the sweater weather. Walking around Downtown Salt Lake and seeing everyone in their usual hustle and bustle has a better light to it when the leaves on the trees are an array of warm tones and we're all bundled in our thick scarves and heavy knits. Here I am talking about the weathaaaaa. I guess you could say I'm an admirer of the simple things in life.
Today's SamANTHEM is Chinatown by Wild Nothing. I recently stumbled upon this band this week and I'm so stoked that I did. I have been listening to them on repeat and, me being my loser self, listened to them ALL night on Saturday night. Who needs a social life when you've got headphones and a killer new artist to indulge in, am I right? This is probably why I'm predicted to never marry and live a life with a multitude of felines and endless amounts of coffee. Good tunes, cats and caffeine? Sounds like a stellar life to ME!
Enjoy KittyCats.

PS Happy November
