My girlfriend and I went shopping on Saturday night and had one hell of a successful evening. Among several other things (which I will share soon), I found some new jeans. Jeans are something that when you find 'em and they're fantastic, (personally) you should get them (if you can afford it). It's not everyday that you find awesome jeans and when you're looking for awesome jeans best believe you won't find them (so frustrating).
Onto the jeans! First off, I found both pairs at Winners (Canada's TJ Maxx, for all you US readers). So I first found the Foxy jeans and while I don't mind this brand, I've never owned a pair nor found ones that I loved. I tried them on and they were super long. They are a straight-leg skinny and so long that on my toes they go past my heels (so rare for a tall chick like moi - 5'11). They came with chain and elastic suspenders, which might seem cool, but I will be removing them as they're just not for me (with jeans, at least). I bought a size 9, 35" length and they were $25 (amazing!).
The second pair I found in the clearance section and they are almost a fancy denim as they have some sheen to them. The brand is Laguna Beach Jean Co., which I've never heard of before (upon further research, they are the 'Crystal Cove' style and you can buy them here for $159). They are hand stitched with great stitching details around the waistband, pockets and down the legs. They are a straight-leg skinny and even longer than the Foxy jeans, by a tad. I bought a size 29 and they are super snug at the waist but it was the last pair and I was in love. I paid $46 (regularly priced at $60).

H&M blazer, dress & jeans, Bamboo boots, Mexx necklace & Bay bangle
The lobby of the hotel we stayed at during our weekend away was so beautiful I asked my mom to snap these shots so I could take advantage. We stopped at H&M on our way into town and despite packing my 'party' outfit, I ended up rocking an entirely new outfit instead. Enter my new H&M finds. Jeans. Dress (worn as a top). Blazer. Yipee!
Today is the day my match-making efforts come into play. I have set up a good friend of mine with someone I work with. I'm pretty excited they are going out this evening, totally cute. Who knows what will stem from this, but either way, a fun night for both I'm sure. I personally have never been set up, have you?
Lastly, I know someone anonymously asked me what these boots looked like IRL on my Christmas Goodies post. While I've worn them quite a bit, I never snapped any shots of them (oops!). Next time maybe I'll just twit-pic the request. Do you follow me on Twitter?
My great friend Shannon brought my attention to this hilarious comic strip to my attention. Hope it brightens your day as it has mine.

Happy Valentines' Day! I am always excited to use any holiday to dress up as an excuse and Valentines' Day is no exception. I love the idea of pinks and reds and going either sexy or sweet, however, more often than not as the day arrives I cannot for the life of me put together an outfit I'm satisfied with. And what do I end up with? An entire black outfit with a sole red belt. WTF? I couldn't get more creative than this?! Ugh. I initially started out wearing these pants with this outfit but wasn't feeling it at all. Ultimately, time was running short so I swapped in my new H&M pants from my weekend away and called it an outfit.
Sidenote: totally rockin' the red lip (resolution alert!), I mean, what better excuse than Valentines' Day, right? Well, not so great for kissing, but whatevs... regardless, it's so-so and husband agreed he prefers no lipstick.
Husband calls the middle shot, 'The waxer' - yeah, you can probably
get an idea of what he's talking about - totally classy, just like my pose.
