HAPPY COW APPRECIATION DAY!!!

If you've been a follower of my blog you know my love of this holiday. While the people I know only like it for free Chick-Fil-A, I personally like to take Cow Appreciation Day to really appreciate cows.

I get teased that cows are my favorite animal, but do you realize how smart, cute, and helpful they are? Cows are so underrated and unappreciated and it's sad because they truly are incredible animals.

So happy Cow Appreciation Day to all my blog followers! I hope you have a wonderful day!

(If you're worried about me skipping out on Happy Tuesday this week, calm down, it's on my Tumblr blog for today and you can check it out HERE.)

Style Icon: Zooey Deschanel/Jessica Day

Chris and I love New Girl. Like, a lot. We've seen each episode on Netflix multiple times and we still laugh every time. It's honestly one of the best shows. But as funny as it is, one of my favorite things about it is the dresses and other outfits Zooey Deschanel wears as Jessica Day.

Today's #FashionFriday post is not of me, but a combination of my favorite Zooey/Jess outfits, although their style is basically the same.

I love this style because it's very girly and fun. Having a job wear I get to wear a dress everyday has been ridiculously fun for me and I've realized how much I prefer wearing dresses to other clothes. Zooey's style is not only cute and girly, but it's also very casual and comfortable looking, which is always a plus. In New Girl she wears big glasses and anyone who knows me well knows that I'm obsessed with glasses, so I want them. I'm also in love with her hair. I've been considering getting bangs like hers, but I really can't decide. If you have an opinion on whether I should get bangs or not please leave a comment below, because I'm very conflicted on this decision.

It only seems fitting that with this post I introduce you to one of my favorite websites: What Would Zooey Deschanel Wear? Not only does it show you a collection of her outfits, it has links on where to get them or similar items! It's amazing to look at and makes me wish I had more money. So check it out because it's pretty much the greatest thing ever.

So anyways, please enjoy a collection of some of my favorite Zooey/Jess outfits. Have a lovely day and if you're participating in Fashion Friday, be sure to use the hashtag on social media so I can see all your styles!

Seriously though, could I pull off bangs like this?

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

Happy Independence Day everyone!!! Today I am bringing you another fashion post this week for the fun of it. It's a patriotic outfit including a flag scarf I bought last year. Remember, as I said yesterday, if you want to see my real outfit for today's holiday, you'll need to follow me on social media (here are the links to my Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tumblr). 

Today I wanted to talk a bit though about my love of America. Now I want to travel and I've loved the vacations and different places I have been, but I have never had the opportunity to leave the US. So me saying that I love America could be slightly biased because I've never been anywhere else, but there's much more to it than that. 

I think a lot about the blessings I've been given in my life. Lately you've seen a lot of it with my Happy Tuesday posts, and I love taking the time every Tuesday to really think about what has made me happy and blessed me most. Living in America has always been one of those blessing. While I have no doubt my life could be wonderful if I had been born anywhere else, I will never not be grateful for the blessings and opportunities living in America has given me. 

Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the feeling of safety and protection, equality, the right to work and build a life for Chris, myself and our future family, and the freedom to publish my thoughts on this blog anytime I want are just a few of the blessings I have been given. But there's always more. 

I was born to the most amazing parents and have the most amazing family and then married the most incredible man in the world, all because my Father in Heaven knew exactly where to put me so that I could live my life the happiest. I've been given so much by my Father in Heaven and placing me in a country that I love is a big one. 

Yes, America has it's flaws and there will always be ideas of politicians and people that I don't agree with, but the country, it's mountains, valleys, deserts, rivers, beaches, lakes, and cities are what I love the most. We live in such a beautiful place and I cannot wait to continue exploring all this country has to offer. I am truly proud to be an American and live in this wonderful, beautiful country full of incredible people and opportunities. 

I hope you all have a wonderful, and safe, 4th of July!
