Good morning ladies! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! I was out of town all weekend for Christmas and just got back late last night. I had a wonderful time with family; cooking, drinking, eating, laughing and smiling. My Mom, younger sister and I made so much food, including my Grandma's (RIP Grandma) famous chili, which is a Christmas Eve tradition in our family. I also made some Christmas cake pops and caramel apples dipped in white chocolate then rolled in brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Super yummy! I didn't want to wear the normal red or green for Christmas this year, so I decided to wear orange. I wore the Sweeping Stitches Pullover with a Hollister lace tank, since the Pullover comes up on the sides. Of course I paired it with my AG Stevies, which I wear all the time, and the AEO Wedge Boot. Another wonderful Christmas with my family!

Good afternoon ladies! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Did you buy anything during Anthro's 50% off Sweater & Outerwear Sale? I bought some items for myself and some Christmas presents as well. Stay tuned for the post What I Bought. Yesterday, my boyfriend and I went Christmas shopping and Anthro shopping :) and it was very chilly out. I decided to wear the Salix Petal Blouse that I bought during Anthro's Black Friday Sale, and I paired it with the Whirl & Wind Cardigan, AG Stevies and AEO Wedge Boot. It was a very fun day hanging out together and getting our Christmas shopping done.

Good morning ladies! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Yesterday was my 27th Birthday but it really felt like my whole weekend was my birthday. I got to spend time with family and friends and I got to go to Anthropologie! I couldn't have asked for a better Birthday weekend and thank everyone for everything! Earlier last week, I posted Help! What To Wear, asking you, the readers, what I should wear to dinner for my 27th Birthday and then to the Roseville Anthropologie Winter Fashion Show. The Gathering Breeze Dress was the winner with 57% of the votes (thanks to everyone that voted!) My Mom, younger sister and I went to dinner at Yard House and then to the Fashion Show which was absolutely amazing! I loved all the outfits with the different textures, layers and patterns. The staff sure knows how to put on a great event! I can't wait to share the photos, video and Polyvore sets with you, so stay tuned for that this week! I also will be announcing Behind The Dressing Room Door's Christmas Giveaway within the next couple of days, where 4 lucky winners will have a chance to win (1) $100 Anthro Gift card, (1) $50 Anthro Gift Card and (2) $25 Anthro Gift cards...and maybe even some other prizes as well, so stay tuned. Overall, a fantastic Birthday weekend!

Good evening lovelies! I hope you all are having a fabulous weekend! I sure am. With my Birthday closing approaching tomorrow (and the Anthro Fashion Show), I'm getting a little excited!!! I got to go to breakfast with my Dad yesterday for my Birthday and then this afternoon, my boyfriend and some friends of ours went to SactoMofo's Food Truck Festival in Downtown Sacramento. The lines were so long but all the food we tried from the different trucks was very yummy! I heart food trucks. Anyways, It was about 60 here today and a little breezy, so I decided to wear a Forever 21 top I just picked up a couple weeks ago with my AG Stevies, AEO Wedge Boots, an AE Scarf and the Puckered Plaid Trench. I was warm and super comfortable. Oh, also I'm returning a pair of the Bowed Lacerta Mary-Janes in a size 7. Let me know if you want me to place them on hold for you. Well, I'm off to go to dinner with Mike and Jessica for an early Birthday dinner! Enjoy the rest of your night everyone! (Thanks Jess for the great photo!)

Good morning lovelies! I hope you all are having a good day so far. Can you believe that Thanksgiving and Black Friday are just around the corner? I can't wait to stuff my face full of oh so yummy food and spend time with family. There should be a sale on Tuesday, so stayed tuned for the sales lists, and also remember that Anthropologie stores will be opening early on Friday, 6AM or so but check with your local Anthro, for their Black Friday sale, which will go from store opening to around 11AM. I heard it should be an additional 50% off sale items in-store and I'm hoping they also do an online Black Friday sale as well. If they do, I think it will be an additional 25% off sale items. Will you partaking in Black Friday either in-store or online (hopefully...for those of us who don't like the crowds or have an Anthro near?) Now on to the outfit below...I wore this outfit earlier this week since British Anthropologi(e)st started the Style It Feature, where each week you vote on a new Anthropologie piece to style. This week was the Field Skirt, Thousand Days Skirt or Circle the Globe Skirt. I love the corduroy material and deep gold color of the Field Skirt and how well it pairs with the Firewing Blouse and Veronica Spectator Pumps. I'm very excited for this new feature and plan to participate weekly! Also, I'm going to Anthro to do reviews on tomorrow, so if you want to request an item, you still have time to do that HERE.

Good morning lovelies! I hope you all are having a good day far. I got to spend some time with my younger sister this weekend which was great. We did a little shopping and had lunch. We popped into Anthro to do some reviews but it was just so busy! I decided to do reviews this week instead for you all, so if you want to request an item, you still have time to do that HERE. It was chilly on Saturday, but I really wanted to wear the Molten Blouse (REVIEW HERE) which I just bought on sale last week. I've been eyeing this blouse for months and am so glad it finally hit sale. The blouse is just lovely in person and I love all the different colors you can wear with it. I have so many outfits in mind already! I wore the Roaming Frills Cardigan to keep warm and the AEO Wedge Boot (these have been my go to shoe lately). A lovely day with my younger sister!

Hey everyone! Hope you all are having a great Thursday so far.

Last night, my boyfriend and I went to a Chamber of Commerce meeting in our neighborhood at one of our favorite restaurants, The Saloon. It was a lot of fun and we met some pretty cool people while there. I just cleaned out my entire closet,  and I decided to wear some old and new Anthro pieces together; the Fluid Movement Top, Paige Ankle Skinny's and Clara's Slipper Flats.

On a side note, Reviews: Round 2 can be seen HERE. If you missed it, Reviews: Round 1 can be found HERE. Reviews: Round 3 are almost done and will be up soon. I also am in the process of updating The Anthro Exchange, so stay tuned!

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great Saturday.

This afternoon was my Mom's 60th surprise Birthday party. We were going to have it earlier this month, but since my Grandma just recently passed away, we decided to postpone it. She was really surprised! We had the party on the Sacramento River at Crawdad's and even got an Elvis impersonator (one of her favorites). Such an awesome day with the family. I decided to wear the She Sells Tank, REVIEWED HERE, that I purchased a couple weeks ago on sale with some white shorts and the adorable Dearie Me Wedges.

On a side note, I will be making a trip to Anthro early next week (Monday or Tuesday) to do reviews. If you have an item(s) you want reviewed, CLICK HERE to request an item or two or to see what all the other Anthro lovers are currently eyeing.

Hey everyone! Hope you are all having a good Friday evening.

This afternoon after I got back from camping, my boyfriend and I decided to grab a quick lunch. I just received the Facing The Sun Tank that I reviewed HERE, so I decided to wear that with my AG Stevies that I rolled up. As you know, the Facing The Sun Tank is sheer so I wore an Aerie tank underneath that worked perfectly. Simple and very comfortable.

Also, I will be updating The Anthro Exchange, so if you have any new items you want listed or items that have sold, please email me. If you already have emailed me, your items will be up soon/marked as sold. :)

Hey everyone! Hope you are all having a great Saturday evening.

Today was my Grandma's Celebration of Life Party. Before she passed, she told us she didn't want a traditional funeral with people bawling their eyes out...she wanted to PARTY! That's exactly what we did. My Mom and I put together the entire party catered with food, a band and a full bar. So many of my Grandma's friends and family showed up and we all had a great time. My cousin made a slideshow of my Grandma and of course I started bawling like a lot of people. She was such a gracious lady. I miss her so much. I also gave away her favorite Chili-O mix as a party favor with her recipe and quote on the back. I made 120 tags by hand (my boyfriend helped) and tied each one to the Chili-O mix.

I just recently purchased the Wildflower Foxtrot Dress when it went on sale and fell in LOVE with it when I reviewed it HERE. I just took the navy belt off of the dress are wore the Cylindrical Braid Belt and the Password pumps.

Hey everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your Holiday weekend. I'm STILL working on the Anthro Exchange since there are over 70 new items being added.

Today is my Mom's Birthday. My older and younger sisters took her out to Roxy for Brunch. It was very yummy. It was good to get out after my Grandma's passing this week to try and get my mind off things.

I decided to wear the Beneath The Surface Shell that I have also worn previously HERE.

Hey everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

My boyfriend and I and our good friends Aric and Amber made a very spontaneous trip to Six Flags: Discovery Kingdom today. We had a blast! We finished our night at Texas Roadhouse, which I've never been to before and it was super yummy!

The weather was gorgeous in the Bay Area today so I wore my new Flourishing Stripes Tank, REVIEW HERE, with some shorts and sandals. I wanted to be as comfortable as possible and definitely was!
