Ok so its no surprise that I lurve me some printed pants....... They are a closet staple because they allow me to run around after a 16 month old doodle man and look dang chic while doing it!!!! I used to only wear dresses and skirts (for like the first 20 something years of my life I kid you not) but after becoming a parent....pants are just way more practical.....and after all I started this blog to document my style and how it changed after becoming a mom. So here's to never wearing "mom jeans" and rocking out some printed pants!!! 2013 is going to be full of them!

PS these may or may not be in the mail as we speak......oopsies :)

As the new year approaches I think to myself.....you know what....2013 is going to be my year. I'm sure you guys have noticed that I'm no wallflower and that I don't fade away into the background so I've decided I'm going to allow myself to get even crazier (style-wise that is....I'm already crazy enough) during the next year. So stay tuned skrillas.....its about to get real.......PS I'm even more fired up now to get my crazy on since a commentor this week told me that I could have "toned things down"......bahahah obviously they don't know me!
 
And for the necklace du jour.......The Stella & Dot Alexandria
 
And in case you missed something this week......

Happy Monday skrillas. This past weekend I was thrilled to be a part of a Stella & Dot, fab'rik and GrayLee Designs trunk show. And on a sidenote I know you all are like ok Brooke, enough with the printed pants.....but I just can't get enough of them, ps my next outfit does not include them! As I was getting ready for the trunk show a piece of paper fell out of my wallet that I've had since I was 12 that was given to me by one of the best teachers I've ever had.......it read:


"Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay."

-Robert Frost

I have to admit that when I was 12 I understood the meaning of the poem but not to an extent that I do now 12 years later. The past 2 years of my life have taught me that although it may seem like dawn always goes down day.... it is your CHOICE to try to "stay gold". So, in this world that seems to be spinning out of control, how do you remember to "stay gold"?

My reminder is a beautiful 16 month old baby boy named Andrew Franklin Allen aka "doodle bug".







And now that I'm done throwing that thought-provoking curveball at you guys I would just like to say thank you to all of my readers that encourage and support me on a daily basis.....so I'm giving away a gold (and yes that was on purpose in light of today's post haha) Stella & Dot Renegade Cluster Bracelet. This little baby is on backorder through Christmas and has been seen on the likes of Katy Perry and Blair from Atlantic-Pacific.  Soooo thank you skrillas and remember to "stay gold." :)
