WIWW - BIGGEST photo shoot EVER - NO YOGA PANTS

This weeks WIWW post is dedicated to a pretty cool friend. A guy I met on twitter, after reading a post on my friend Tara's blog, Taradara. Actually though I'd been loving on him for a while now, without ever knowing how awesome he actually was. I just knew I LOVED his books, and he was incredibly talented, crafty, and awesome. His name is Mark Montano, and he writes BIG ASS BOOKS, which are ASS kicking good. Trust me, you will never be bored again, just get your hands on one of his books, and you will have tons of inspiration, oh and follow him along on facebook too, he is just incredible. 

This ones for you Mark!
NO YOGA PANTS
He practically banned me from wearing them, unless I go to the gym. Thank you for your wonderful advice, hopefully I get a stamp of approval on my attempt at getting dressed :)

I took like a million pictures today, since I can't imagine doing this on a regular basis, I just got a bunch done today, plus I had to take pics for my upcoming giveaways, and reviews. The weather was PERFECT, overcast, grey skies, cool breeze. I couldn't have asked for anything better. It took my about an hour to take all these pictures, and it was SUPER fun, I must admit :)
Entire outfit - KOHLS
Belt Buckle - MARK MONTANO ETSY
Belt - my moms old hideous gold looking thing, that somehow works with the buckle :)

Sweater - KOHLS
Heels - KHOLS
Disclaimer - I wore these heels for about an hour while taking all these pictures, so I could look cuter, but my feet were about to FALL off, and these aren't even high heels. So I don't want to make you all think that I ACTUALLY wear heels, because I don't. If there is such a thing as a COMFY heel, PLEASE oh PLEASE let me know, otherwise I am stuck with flip flops, sandals, boots (no heel), and other such shoes. It sucks, but it is what it is, and I WILL not kill myself trying to wear a cute pair of heels just too look good. Even though I did for these pictures, but that was a mistake, lol.
Please forgive me!!

That was officially the LONGEST WIWW post right?
I hope you liked it, and in case you've missed my other posts, you might want to see how lame I can be, by checking them out. PAST WIWW, I am TRYING to get better at posing, but as you can see, I stuck to the SAME boring poses in all these pictures, I couldn't help it, I just don't know what to do :)

Hopefully I've improved just a little though, and this time I was my own photographer, which was kinda weird, but really great at the same time, he he. Location was my moms house, thanks MOM.

Thanks to all my wonderful awesome friends, WHO by the way are also my incredible sponsors too. It was so much fun accessorizing with all the fantastic goodies you've sent me. I love them all!!

I can't wait to kick off another round of GIVEAWAYS, where you can win something from EACH and EVERY one of these amazing shops, and much more. (Just take a peak in my right hand sidebar, for ALL the amazing giveaways coming soon)

Linking to these awesome parties. Go get your groove on, join the fun!

My photo
In my spare time I enjoy cooking, and baking. In fact my mother and I have been making cakes for over 30 years. I also love gardening, traveling, and all things crafty. I struggle daily to keep my like organized, along with my never ending battle to keep the house clean. I adore my three kids MOST of the time, and can usually be found doing the mom thing from morning till night. I try to catch a few mommy moments, but those are hard to find in this wonderful life of mine. I am blessed and happy, and am thrilled you stopped by today :)
