Road Jes Traveled

I often talk about how wonderful my husband is.. and don't get me wrong, he IS wonderful.. but he sure isn't perfect. One of his flaws that I have to deal with on a daily basis is that.... He's a Dallas Cowboy's fan. Yea. I know. The thing is, I can't really hold it against him. We were both born and raised in Houston, Texas. We love the Houston Texans but neither one of us consider them our primary NFL team. It's a long story and I won't go into details, but Jared loves the Cowboys and I love the Steelers. With a family full of Houstonians, you can imagine the problems that this causes. If you know anything about Texas, you know that football is a way of life. Football can make or break a friendship. It can tear apart a family. It can cause blood, sweat, and tears. Even if you're not on the field. [via] Although we cheer for different teams, and sometimes against each other's team, we both respect each other's love for

I have a few confessions that may or may not make you hate me.. but you love me because I'm honest, right? So here I go... I confess that I did not sign in to blogger at all yesterday. (gasp!) I know.. crazy, right? It was one of those days and I just needed a little break. I confess that I get a little  crazy during football season. I even joined a fantasy football league for the first time this season (EEEK!)!! I apologize in advance for all of my curse words, rants, bad moods, and lack of communication on Sundays for the next few months. Excuse the "and and".. apparently the person who made this did it while watching a football game. I confess that although I am from Texas, love Texas football, and AM a fan of Texas football teams, I love my Steelers. Shocker, I know. This has caused quite an uproar among family and friends. The story of how this happened is long.. so I will save it for another time. Texans, I'm sorry, I still love you, and I still chee

Clockwise from top right:  Milly bucket bag  |  BaubleBar Nautical Drops  |  ASOS Skater Dress  |  ASOS Denim Dress  |  ASOS Babydoll Dress  |  BaubleBar Blue Brick Bracelet  |  MyJewelryBox.com Sapphire Ring SHOP THIS LOOK: I've been so into blue lately.. all shades of it! Maybe it's being around the ocean so much.. or maybe it's just because it's pretty. There's something about the color blue that always feels classy and polished to me. It's not dull but not an "in your face" kind of color either. Plus, I really think it looks great on all skin tones. I've been eyeing the Chevron Denim Dress from ASOS for over a week now.. It looks so chic and I think I'd be able to dress it up or down. I've also been dying for some sapphire to add to my jewelry collection and MyJewelryBox.com has killer prices. I think I'll add that to my wishlist! :) And what about that Blue Ostrich bag from Milly ?! It is GORGEOUS! Ok.. I'l

I am SO excited to FINALLY reveal The Messy Project ! What is The Messy Project ? The Messy Project was created by Kelly @ Messy Dirty Hair . It's a genius idea in which 5 girls get the exact same piece of clothing and make it their own. "I wanted to find a fun way to interact with other bloggers incorporating fashion help. Something to convey who we are. To show our style. To put our creative minds to work. To express our inner fashionista. To show people the different ways to style an item depending on your body type and you. So The Messy Project was born." - Kelly @ Messy Dirty Hair The Deal: 1 top 5 girls 5 different looks 1 major blog post day Amazing, right?? I am lucky enough to be a part of The Messy Project this month! I signed up over a month ago and had been anxiously waiting for my package from Kelly to arrive so I could see what we were workin' with! As soon as I received it, I was thrilled! I instantly loved the top and loved that it
