Remixing A Look & Favorite Reads

Today I have a #twofer post for you!

First up....I'm doing a style remix with The Blended Blog.

When I saw this prompt I thought this would be a piece of cake.

I was wrong.

Turns out I don't have a whole lot in my closet that my friends have in their closets.

I have been looking through picture after picture to find something to recreate for today.

I realized that my friends own a lot of pinks, florals, and pretty much all the girly things.

I have none of that in my closet.

And then it hit me!

Sticking with the Love Loop theme, I am going to recreate a look that Lana @ My New Happy has shared with you in the past :)

I am going to share with you a few different ways you could recreate Lana's look.

All options use the same base colors, just slightly remixed based on what I have in my closet.

Option #1

I paired my favorite denim jacket,

with a gingham button down top (similar),

my white skinny jeans (similar),

and those fun red booties.

Option #2

A chambray/denim shirt (similar) thrown over a striped tank or tee (similar),

paired with my red skinny cords (similar),

and my white western booties.

Option #3

I paired a plaid top/flannel (similar) with a solid puffer vest (similar),

my go-to jeans (similar) and white Converse.

Almost every piece I shared could be swapped out for another piece.

Do you have any of the pieces Lana is wearing in her original look?

Do you have any of the pieces I shared in my recreations?

I would love to see how you would recreate Lana's Look!

Next up....I'm sharing some of my favorite books/authors with Shay & Erika!

I have always loved the Tori Spelling books!

Honestly, if you grew up in the 90's (and watched Beverly Hills 90210 😉) I really think you would love all of the her books!

I am not one who enjoys reading books, but I am trying really hard to change that.

That is tricky because there isn't a whole lot of things I want to read about.

I did read/listen to Kind is the new Classy by Candace Cameron Bure and LOVED IT!!!

So much so that I ordered two more of her books.

I actually already own her style book, but haven't read it yet.

Add that to the to-do list!

Another book that I listened to was A Tribe Called Bliss.

That book has truly changed my outlook/mindset!

Honestly, if there is one book you pick up after reading this post I feel it should be this one!

I was gifted a few books for Christmas/birthday as well.

I read Girl Wash Your Face.

I also received the new Justin Timberlake book,

the Tiffani Thiessen cookbook,

and the Whiskey in a Teacup cookbook by Reese Witherspoon.

Those last two have stories within the recipes.

Notice a theme here?

I am not one to read something that is a made up.

I need real life.

And I have to know who the author is before I even think about picking up the book.

So what book recs do you have for me?

What are your favorite types of books to read?

I would love to hear from you in the comments below :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Linking up with Nancy as well :)
