It's been chilly here in Arizona, guys.... I'm talking 73 degrees. Juuust kidding. It's been beautiful out, and I apologize for my cruel, lame joke ;) It does get a little nippy during the evening though, and all I've wanted to do is wear cozy sweaters and chunky socks. This sweater I'm wearing today is so comfy and just the right thing to wear with jeans and boots (or leggings when I want to be doubly comfortable). Those of you who suffered through the Polar Vortex, what did you find yourselves wearing to stay alive warm?

SPOTTED: Shift Dress + Tights + Ankle Booties

Happy weekend!
I remember the ol' days when I used to have actual weekends off on Saturday and Sunday. Now I work a varying schedule, and it usually includes working both weekend days. I'm truthfully not complaining though, because I love my job and that makes it worth it for sure. It does, however, put a cramp in mine and Matt's dating life though - not gonna lie. He works a "normal" Monday through Friday 8-5 job, and I usually don't get home from work until almost 8 PM most nights. It's definitely different than we're used to, but we've managed to work around it and adapt. It just means the nights I do have off, we absolutely make ourselves go on a date night, no matter how tired/lazy/etc we feel. Gotta keep the spark alive, right?!
This outfit below is one I recently wore out to dinner and drinks at one of our new favorite local places, Modern Margarita.  (If you are in the North Phoenix or Scottsdale area, you have to go there!) They have the most amazing appetizers, veggie tacos, and margaritas. The portions are perfect for getting lots of various little things from the menu and splitting them with others. SO good. Anyways - back to the outfit. I love a shift dress, like this one, for date night. Comfy, yet still semi-dressed up. Adding in tights [yay for it being cool enough to wear 'em!], a statement necklace, and ankle booties amps up the "night out" (and warmth) factor.

What do you wear for date night? For me, I tend to "over dress" for dates, because 5 days out of the week I'm wearing jeans, a uniform polo, and TOMS.  I feel like my nights out are my only chance to really get did up, ya know? I gotsta make 'em count!

PS: I sincerely apologize for the extreme amount of photos. My sister and niece were here too, and I had to include them in the post, of course ;D

Tee Time: T-Shirt + Jeans + Boots

Hi guys!  I have some exciting news to share with you all: my sister, Shannon, started a blog!  She had her first child last year (my darling niece, Lacey), and she has decided to write about the trials, tribulations, and most importantly, joys of parenting.  I, personally, don't plan to ever have kiddos of my own [unless they are of the "fur baby" variety, in which case, I will most certainly be adopting more in the future ;D], but I still love reading her thoughts and advice on being a new mama.  She's incredibly funny and her writing style is seriously on point.  Be sure to visit "Mommy Brain" and welcome her to the blogging world, please!
Today's outfit post is a simple, fun one.  I love how easy jeans & a tee can be - especially when you can add a pair of boots, a few accessories, and a handbag & voila!  Outfit complete.  Easy peasy!

New Year, New You, New Outfit of the Day: Maxi Dress + Denim Jacket + Infinity Scarf

Happiest of New Years to you!
Did you have fun celebrating New Year's Eve?  I spent mine with Matt & my family, who were in town visiting for the holidays.  Nearly everyone is back in their respective states now, and that makes me sad :( Wah.  It's okay though, because I have a truly phenomenal feeling about 2014.  I feel reinvigorated with blogging [that's not to say that I ever stopped loving writing LunaVida, of course] and I'm ready to kick some ass when it comes to life in general - especially at work.  I can't wait to see what's in store!

As I mentioned, I don't usually partake in resolutions.  I know myself and every time I make a resolution to, for example, eat healthier, I'm already eating 4 meals before lunchtime on January 1st.  What can I say?  I'm a girl who really likes to eat ... and eat often :P  But seriously, I do plan to make this year great and really improve upon myself, personally, professionally, and just all around.  What about you?  I want to hear your resolutions for this year, so be sure to let me know!
