Thursday Threads - Lace and Spikes

I'm a huge fan of mixing textures and styles. I love the way spikes look with pearls, and lace with army style boots. So, putting this outfit together was quite delightful.

Back To School Spirit

I've recently teamed up with some awesome fashion brands, 

so there will be a lot more fashion inspired posts here on Talk2thetrees.

Exciting. 

It's been a while since I attended school, 

but, back to school shopping was one of my favorite things.

It's about that time of year again and you can feel it in the air.

Chicnova posed the question to me..

What would my back to school outfit be?

Looking through the back to school section was kind of fun 

since I've now been on both ends of the school spectrum. 

I've gone to school as a student, and I've taught school as a teacher. 

The fun thing is, there really isn't much of a difference in style for me.

I would wear the same thing whether I was teaching or attending school.

Here is my top pick.

Chicnova is an awesome place for all things back to school, and if you are like me and not going to school it's a great place for your fall shopping. Which I can feel fall is coming soon.. And I'm stoked. 

Check out Chicnova's back to school section, shop around and enjoy their awesomeness.

Thursday Threads - When It's Hot

My house doesn't have AC. We have a swamp cooler. I can't set my house to 72 degrees and know it will stay. I can turn my swamp cooler on in the morning and hope it keeps it reasonable.

This last week the temperature outside has been over 100. 

Every day.

Our house averaged about 82-83 degrees.

Not too bad.

But, when you come home from being in the hot car, there isn't much relief.

So, Sterling and I decided to just play outside for a bit. 

We went to Provo River to collect rocks for a pathway in my backyard.

He did all the muddy rock seeking...

He carried the big bucket of rocks.

I'm kind of useless like that sometimes.

I tried carrying the bucket for a bit but promptly set it down and let Sterling carry it. 

For 100 degree weather, I feel like I picked the perfect outfit to play in the river with. 

Because when it's hot out, you play in the river.
