Classic Casual

Today I mixed up a classic blazer with some light denim Capri pants, sparkly smoke slippers and a neon necklace that toughens up the blazer. I braided my hair up into a top knot and put on some classic eye makeup with a neutral lip color. I have been having fun mixing up the styles in my closet for close to nothing money wise! Just having some classic pieces that you can mix up with some trendy accessories makes getting ready in the morning so much fun! :) I hope you have a great Thursday! (I'm going on a motorcycle ride to Bear Lake to eat dinner with my hubby.. I'll take some pictures, it is beautiful today so we are taking advantage of the weather while we can!)

Talk to y'all soon!

Sparkly Outfit

Howdy! This was my outfit today, it made me feel so girly.

My instructor and I have been working in this adorable elephant artwork for my instructor's friend who just had a set of twins. Today we finished it. It was more difficult than you'd think. Modge-podgeing scrapbook paper onto a painted canvas was quite the task. I guess since I hadn't done that before it was more difficult for me than it would be for a more skilled modge-podger... Anyways, I bought some organizing things for my makeup, jewelry, scarves and belts! I will post pictures of before and after! :)

Olive Garden Soup and Tech Expo

Good Morning! A couple days ago I made soup for dinner. Now, Cade and I LOVE Olive Garden's chicken and gnocchi soup, but eating out has made us broke.. so I decided to try my own. Thank goodness for the internet, I mean really, where would we be without Google?? I "Googled" a recipie and found this one. It was AMAZING!! My husband was very impressed, I was even impressed (I don't normally like what I cook... because I'm pretty critical of myself). So it was a big deal! You should try it!

Last night was the Bridgerland Tech Expo and job fair. It is a way for the school to showcase the programs that are available and also have a place where people can get some leads for jobs and things like that. I had a blast welcoming people and helping them make these awesome magazine strip bows.

The bulletin board outside of our classroom was a point of interest for many people. We took doll chairs and painted them all different colors, hung them from the corners of the bulletin board on raffia string. Put up pictures of some of the different fields of interior design, and hung up fabric samples and a paint deck. A lot of people loved it and stopped by just to tell us that!

I also have a couple funny stories to share.. There was this weird (very, very weird),older man who decided it would be appropriate to approach me and tell me that he wasn't really interested in the program but that he was interested in me because I was so pretty. I laughed and smiled politely. As he turned to walk away he dropped some papers, he turned back around and said to me, "You have got me all hot and bothered".... now, at this, you can imagine the horrified look on my face, as I again tried to be polite and handed him his dropped papers. After that terrifying experience, there weren't really any other weirdo's that hit on me. UNTIL right before the thing ended, another older gentleman wandered over to the interior design area, as he was leaving, he said something in another language, so I asked him what he had said, "Thank you, sweetie," was his response, "in Russian." I just stood there... politely smiling, glad the day was over and I could go home to my husband.

I am grateful for these little experiences in my life. It's all about the details! :) Have a great day!! -Britt

The Parade

Hey Y'all :) Happy Sunday! I have had a very nice, quiet, relaxing Sunday, I hope y'all have had the same. I have lots to share! As I said on Friday, I went to the Parade of Homes here in Logan (Cache Valley). It was AWESOME! I loved SO many things!! There were a few things I didn't like, but I didn't take pictures of those. Some of the interiors were so well designed it made me so ready to have a house of my own to design.

These aren't all the pictures I took, just a few of photos that inspired me or that I really enjoyed seeing. Spending time with my classmates was great, we were able to see some of the styles that we all liked and didn't like. I think that is one of my favorite things about design, there are so many perspectives. I hope you like the pictures! let me know which one(s) are your favorite! p.s. I will get better at posting, I promise! I know I have said it before but I really will get better.
