f XXI style

Forever 21 isn't just for 21 year olds anymore! It used to be just a place we went as teenagers because they had trendy things and we couldn't afford anything else. But it has revamped its image and it's stock my friends. I am no representative for the 21 but I am just loving their summer styles. We have a huge store here in Chandler and when I walk through I see some really nice and adorable pieces. I thought I would share some of my favorites for some summer style ideas...and because Sassy Pose doesn't have a large clothing selection but does have some great summer sandals and accessories to go with these looks! The S-pose Summer Python Sandals would look so perfect with that Floral top(c.) and dark skinny jeans! All these pieces are adorable and affordable.

Bach-ette 2

My take on bachelorette night 2:

It got pretty intense.

Obviously the wanna-be McDreamy (Craig M) was the psycho focus for the week that the producers of the show wanted to make us hate. And hate him we did. There is nothing I hate more than a cocky guy. Craig was the cockiest guy and a big bully just looking for someone to put down to build himself up. The funny thing is that he never seemed to mind that he wasn't getting any time with Ali! I was wanting to see them together the whole time to see how he would hide his psycho-ness and cockiness. When they finally had one on one time he was all nervous and tongue tied and slurred every word that came out of his mouth so nothing he said even made sense. Nice and smooth wanna-be McDreamy. Loved it.

Next hot topic of the night- weatherman. Ok weatherman that looks like you're 12- focus more on your relationship with Ali and less about other people and how they are not right for her. It bugs when people don't work on their relationship and they just want to get someone else out of there. Just like how the other Craig is obsessed with Justin getting kicked out. Bug.

So three favorites right now:

Jesse: He is my absolute favorite and I want him to win the whole thing!

Roberto: Seems a little too perfect and smooth. I'm predicting that he will be the one that has had a girlfriend all along. Something feels just a tad off about him.

Frank: So chill and fun and Ali obviously loves him already. Definitely one of the top predictions. But I still want Jesse to win...

On another note- Is Ali actually positive, bubbly, and giggly all the time. She seems like a sweet girl that has fun no matter what she is doing. But is that just for the couple of hours a week that she is on dates and camera or is it really all the time? Just wondering...

Autumn Dame

I recently found the most adorable clothing on etsy.com. It is called Autumn Dame and I fell in love with the original and creative pieces. Here are some of my favorites:

The same designer also has a jewelry line called Marie Elizabeth Couture and you can find that stuff at marielizabethcouture.blogspot.com.
I love everything and want it all! There is a giveaway going on the 'We Chirp' blog for a chance to win an autumn dame piece!

Cookie Salad Delight!

On the quest for the perfect summer side dish? Want to shake up your fruit salad recipe? Asked to bring something to a BBQ? Look no further because I have found the winner! Cookie Salad! Fruit and chocolate cookies...such an unexpected combo...but trust me...it just works. I made this delish dish for dinner tonight and it was so quick and simple and really hit the spot. I don't know about you but anything with fruit and chocolate is goin in my recipe book. There are different recipes for Cookie Salad but this is said to be the best...

1 pkg. Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix

1 Cup Buttermilk

12 Ounces Cool Whip

1/2 pkg. Fudge Stripe Cookies

1 can Mandarin Oranges

1 can Pineapple

1 or 2 Bananas sliced

1 carton Strawberries

Add any seasonal fresh fruit you want!

Cut up your fruit and put in fridge to chill or set aside...

Mix together pudding mix and buttermilk in large bowl. Then fold in cool whip...

Add all fruit to mixture and mix so all fruit is coated evenly...

Break up fudge stripe cookies into chunks and add to mixture. Mix until everything is coated with mixture...

Chill in fridge until desired temp! Do a lil taste test with your fingers... & Enjoy!

Pop of color!

I know what my next crafty/decor project is going to be! I saw this lovely little decorative wall piece on the 'Make it or love it' blog and decided right then and there that I need it. I love finding decorative piece how-to's instead of just cute products for sale because then you can customize it to match any room in your house! How adorable is this craft? I love how it looks semi-fancy but young and fresh at the same time.

I would be making this for my wall today but I haven't invested in a sewing machine yet. So once I have access to one I will summon my creative juices and create a magical piece. Stay tuned! To see the tutorial just click HERE.

The Bachelorette is Back

Ohhhhh holy night! The bachelorette is back! This is one of my most loved reality shows because it's like one person's whole life of dating rolled into one entertaining show. I mean...all the weirdos you seem to have to go through to get to someone you really can fall in love with...it doesn't get much more real than that. And it's interesting to see how one person I might classify as "weirdo" is the exact person that appeals to someone else. There has to be someone for everyone right? So even though I prefer The Bachelor to The Bachelorette, I tuned in for the first night of the new season and started making my predictions.

I don't know if this is just me but it seemed like there were way more long haired and sweaty guys than usual. And don't even get me started on the guy with the creepy muted voice that talks really fast. You can tell that he is going to be a total psycho. My favorites so far are the wrestler, the guy who made her the heart necklace with his sister, and the sexy spanish guy who got the first impression rose. I don't commit to names until the end of the second episode where I make my real predictions for the whole season.

Overall I am happy with who she sent home...I mean Shooter, really, did you think you had a chance with that awful inappropriate story? The only two I would have added to the bus ride home at this point were the voice guy (he is going to haunt my dreams) and the wanna-be McDreamy (with the hair and fugly striped tie).

So excited to see the whole season unfold! Let me know your thoughts and predictions on the show.

Twice as nice!

And our second winner of the giveaway is (drumrollllllllll)...
