Music has been a love of mine ever since I can remember. I especially love when a song comes on and it takes you back to a moment. I have lots of great memories that involve music. When I was about 9 years old, my sister and I would record ourselves singing on cassettes. My favorite recording was when we sang Every Morning by Sugar Ray. There were lots of laughs and goofy memories made during those recordings. I also love coming home to my guitar after a long day at work. Such a great way to wind down and just relax. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So when I saw this dress, I felt like it was made for me! I'm a sucker for cute prints, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/paintthetownfashion">Paint the Town</a> totally nailed it with this simple yet playful print. This dress is so comfortable so it will be perfect for work. I spend most of my life at work, which is why comfort is such a priority for me. I also love that it can be fancied up with a pair of heels for a night out with my sweetheart. Oh and last but definitely not least, it has pockets! A dress with pockets beats a regular ol' dress any day! I know all of you ladies can agree with me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Well I am off to wait for the hubby to get off of work so we can go on a dinner date. We'll probably come home and do some puzzles since that is what we've been into these days. Then tomorrow I plan on doing a whole lotta nothing and maybe some thrifting. This has been such a long week so sleeping in and doing nothing is much appreciated. Hope you all have a lovely weekend! </div>

Hello lovelies! Long time no see! It's been a whole 7 months since I have posted on here, and I have so much to update you guys on. I decided to do a recap of what I've been up to lately (last two months) since that's when all of the fun stuff began. <br />
<br />
One of my new years resolutions was to go on more adventures with Jon, and as soon as January started I already had a list ready to go. California is full of beautiful places. So I'm hoping that this year, I'll be able to get to know my home state a lot better. We also plan on visiting Oregon and Washington since I've heard nothing but amazing things about these places. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGwvMu2p2blcMdNDC9R_APuGQOT6xNrR_YcCxvr-nDx4S7wuKZKlKlr_UcwkMiBm_WtGhDajLqQviw8HGrfcvpg9fDqmkjkSO8IUKqKrDjxJwfmjAQ57oHyQAaEmynSKmieWffSK8cXVW1/s1600/IMG_0428.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGwvMu2p2blcMdNDC9R_APuGQOT6xNrR_YcCxvr-nDx4S7wuKZKlKlr_UcwkMiBm_WtGhDajLqQviw8HGrfcvpg9fDqmkjkSO8IUKqKrDjxJwfmjAQ57oHyQAaEmynSKmieWffSK8cXVW1/s1600/IMG_0428.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Our first adventure was in January, and the destination was Monterrey, CA. I had been here a few times before as a kid, and I loved it! Jon was a first-timer, and I was so excited to introduce him to this beaut. We, of course, did all of the touristy stuff. We went to Cannery Row, and there we visited our friends at the aquarium. Remember, fish are friends not food. Later that day, we took the 17 mile drive. The homes we saw on the 17 mile drive were amazing, and with a perfect view too. We are pretty much convinced that we need to move to Monterrey. When we win the lotto, of course. We then stopped at Spanish Bay, and saw the sun go down while we walked on beach. The next day we visited Carmel. We saw the cutest dogs on the beach, and really regretted not taking Rigby with us. He would have loved it!<br />
<br />

<br />
Next stop, San Francisco, CA! We've been to SF so many times, but never to sight-see. Jon went to college there for about a year and a half, and never really got to get any enjoyment out of such a neat place. We had a few troubles getting to the fun part of this trip thanks to tolls, buses, and crazy pedestrians and drivers. Eventually, we learned that a cab was the way to go. We finally got to the Golden Gate bridge after a good hour of being lost. A big thank you to all the little old ladies on the bus that really helped us find our way! It was all worth it though! The Golden Gate Bridge is such a beautiful sight to see! We wanted to go on the Alcatraz tour, but they were booked. Not a surprise. After we walked across the bridge and enjoyed the gorgeous view, we walked around Pier 39. I got a glimpse of the bush man startling some folks. We didn't get to do as much as we wanted to on this trip, but hope to go back and get the rest of the stuff off of our bucket list soon.<br />

<br />
The next day we decided to venture out to Point Reyes, CA. It was around an hour away from San Francisco. So we thought, why the heck not?! Plus, I had been wanting to go there for the longest time! This place is pure amazing. I don't recommend going there on an empty stomach (like yours truly did) since there is a lot of physical activity involved. This place is not only one of the most gorgeous places I'd ever to, but also one of the most interesting places. There is a lot of history to this place, and it has been well preserved. I really wanted to see the lighthouse, and it was the first lighthouse I had ever seen in person. As you can see by my photo, the wind was absolutely insane! You also have to go down about 300 steps (equivalent to 30 stories) to get the lighthouse. The going down was not the problem for me, it was the going up that had me gaspin' for air! I'm outta shape, and I'm doing something about that in 2014 too. Anyway, this place is gorgeous and if you're in California you MUST visit! Plus, you'll see Elk, Elephant Seals, and the prettiest trees there!<br />
<br />
I really hope to not be such a stranger anymore! I miss this little corner on the web! Also, if you lovelies know of any places that I should add to my "must visit" places, please share! I would love to hear your experiences!

I could not stay away from the snooze button on my alarm this week, which led to me racing against the clock to get ready for work. 10 minutes of sleeping in definitely puts a dent on my getting ready routine of showering, blow drying my hair, applying makeup, curling my hair, and choosing my outfit. Dry shampoo can only save me for a day! Anyway, I came to find that I wore lots of black and white this week. I've always been a fan of black and white. I'm pretty sure my love for these colors started when I watched 101 Dalmatians when I was 6. Who knew that Cruella De Vil could be anyone's fashion inspo?! Like Cruella, my go-to colors are black and white. Sure, I would never hurt a puppy to make myself a coat, but you catch my drift! Black and white are such classic and easy colors to style. Black and white prints are what I usually gravitate towards: polka dots, stripes, chevrons, gingham, you name it! I also love the fact that you can wear it with any other color. Black and white makes life easy, and that's why I love it so much. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I let my black and white streak continue for the weekend as well. This dress is a new addition to my black and white collection, and I'm sure it will save me one of these mornings when I decide to take another snoozer. Anyway, this weekend has been swell. We didn't have any particular plans this weekend so we just got in the car and improvised. We ended up at Target to stock up on necessities. Of course, the whole time I was there I tried to avoid their amazing clearance aisles full of cute things I don't need. I was a good girl. Then we went to Trader Joes where all the damage was done. Needless to say, I had a lovely macaron filled evening. Thank you, Trader Joes. </div>

My weekends are days that I cherish. Who doesn't cherish sleeping in & fun adventures with lovely people? We spent most of our Saturday indoors, A/C at full blast, and watching crime shows, The Big Bang Theory, and prison shows in our PJ's. However, after a few hours of being lazy butts we decided that we needed a little bit of outdoor Summer vibes. By the looks of my outfit, I was ready to go to the beach but instead I
went on a grocery run with Jon to get Pico de Gallo paletas (popsicles).
Paletas are our addiction every summer along with watermelon, frozen yogurt, and iced coffee drinks.<br />
<br />
This weekend I decided to borrow this fabulous hat from my momma. It's such a sweet Summer piece! So perfect for the beach! My mom is definitely one of my fashion inspirations. The pieces in her closet are so classy and timeless. I blame her for my love of cardigans and shoes. Speaking of shoes, I decided to bring out my floral wedges for the first time this year. My feet are usually in closed toed shoes from Monday to Friday, so it was nice to give my feet some fresh air and a tan! <br />
<br />
Today I went on a little adventure with Jon and my mom. We road-tripped it to the Bay Area to see where Jon will be start working soon. He's definitely pumped and I'm so very excited for him too! We're so motivated for the future, and are so excited for what God has in store for us. What a perfect way to end the weekend!<br />
<br />
I am off to get recharged for tomorrow! I hope you all have an amazing and productive week! ♥Marlyn Penahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12718020960964958682noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8962830253868900782.post-87841044327453616042013-07-08T23:02:00.000-07:002013-07-08T23:02:00.754-07:00Sweet Sunday.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sunday was definitely fun day. We had my nephew Levi with us this Sunday, and we had so much fun. It's always a blast when that kiddo is around. We went to Funworks, which is like a mini golf/arcade/go kart deal. We attempted to play some putt putt golf, but it was unbearably hot outside. So we stayed in the arcade trying to get some tickets to win Levi a Cars toy he had his eye on. Lightning McQueen is his homeboy. I also found out that he loves Skee Ball just like his auntie. He was not having the kiddie games! Such a lovely day with the family. I am so blessed to have these people in my life.<br />
<br />
So how are you all recovering from this weekend? Gosh, waking up this
morning was such a challenge for me. I had gotten so used to sleeping in
until 9 and staying in my PJ's all day. It's easy to get used to the
good life. Lucky for me, there's such thing as dry shampoo! Those extra 20 minutes of sleep made all of the difference. I definitely needed that break. Now
I'm back to reality and that's okay too. Money don't grow on trees, and I
am so blessed to have a job during these hard times.<br />
<br />
Well this week is going to be a busy one, which should also make it a fast one. I'm looking forward to Friday. I get outta work early on Friday! Woo hoo! These are the kinds of things I look forward to all week. Anyway, I hope you all have a great week!Marlyn Penahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12718020960964958682noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8962830253868900782.post-29271524093719635342013-07-06T10:58:00.000-07:002013-07-06T10:58:32.004-07:00A Little Rusty<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Funny how easy it is to forget how to do things once you haven't done them for a while. This explains why it took me a too long to get this post together. I'm a little rusty. Not that I was ever an expert at codes and blogging at all! Since it's a four day weekend and Jon is at work, I thought "Why not do a little bit of updating?!" I got my Cannon outta the closet, turned it on, and then thought "Uhhhh.... I know how to do this!" I had forgotten how to take pictures. What is up with my brain?! But like riding a bike, I remembered and got to snappin'. Same with this whole coding deal. I guess I'm gonna have to lessen my after-work-telly-watching sessions to stay on top of these things. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I decided to match with the state of my skills last night, and wore rust details to warm up my gray dress. I felt like being comfortable for date night so I paired it with my <a href="http://minnetonkamoccasin.com/">Minnetonka</a> Booties. My Minnetonkas are my favorite. They are the comfiest shoes I own, they're simple, cute, and they match with everything! Not much has changed when it comes to my polka dot obsession. You can add any print to a simple dress to make it pop. Polka dots just always happen to be my first choice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I haven't done much shopping lately, just a little bit of thrifting here and there. We're all guilty of having something in the closet that never gets worn. I'm trying to rid myself of this bad habit and get creative with what I already own. So far I've been doing pretty good. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well I'm off to do some weekend thrifting! Wish me luck! </div>

As you guys have probably noticed, I've been out for quite some time. My last post was in April, and we are already in July! However, I've been meaning to dust off my camera and laptop to update you all. Luckily, I've had my iPhone at hand during these last few months! I've been absent on my blog, but you can't keep me away from <a href="http://instagram.com/littleredbowtique#">Instagram</a>. I update that thing quite often. It's just so convenient for a lazy bum like me!<br />
<br />
Last night I stayed up late catching up with my favorite blogs, and gosh did it make me miss posting! Lately, my life has been wake up, work, eat, sleep, and repeat. What's so interesting about that, right?! I've failed to notice all of the fun and eventful things that have happened in between of what I call mundane. It hasn't been all work and no play!<br />
<br />
Last month we made a trip to Disneyland and had a blast. We were there for the weekend with my family. I saw radiator Springs, and almost felt like I was in front of the Grand Canyon. I loved seeing my nephew's reactions to all of his favorite characters too. Disneyland is much funner when you're a kid or when you're with one. Despite the long lines, I got on all of the best rides. And Of course, I overdosed on sweets while I was there. The candy apple made me do it!<br />
<br />
Summer has made it's grand appearance in California. I have done my fair share of complaining about the 108 degree weather, but I have been enjoying the longer days. I've been sporting the top knot much more than usual, and have been bringing out the Summer apparel little by little. Road trips, frozen yogurt, evening bike rides, and bright colors. I always find something to love about every season. <br />
<br />
What's your favorite thing about Summer?<br />
<br />
Well I'm off to do some cleaning and then continue my lovely four day weekend. Hope you all have a wonderful one!

I know, I know! I have been M.I.A for around two weeks now, but I feel like It's definitely time for me to get back into the swing of things here at Little Red Bowtalk. Life has been crazy busy for me these days! I have much to update you guys with! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you guys follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you may have heard that I got a new job two weeks ago. I absolutely love it! I'm doing accounting for a local company and it is so much funner than I had anticipated. Who woulda thunk it?! It really is such a blessing to have finally found a job in the field that I studied. It makes me feel like all those years of school are finally paying off. I had been on the search for so long, and God opened the perfect doors for me at the perfect time as well. It's so relieving and comforting to know that my future is in God's hands. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At work, Friday's are casual days so I decided to wear one of the comfiest skirts I own. I wanted to start the weekend off right! I'm also sporting some bags under my eyes due to waking up so early for work! My body is still getting used to this change. I used to be the type of person that would start on projects at about 10 p.m., but now I have no choice but to be asleep at that time! How is this night owl supposed to get anything done?! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I plan on posting more of the business casual outfits I wear during the week as well. I thought I would have had a few posted by now, but I've also been moving. We have finally had a chance to settle into our new place and relax from all these changes. It has been a crazy and awesome last two weeks. I'm so glad to be back! Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! </div>

I'm back this week with another casual weekday outfit. Do you guys like my post title? Ha! I felt like such a lumberjack yesterday! I love my plaid and fringe. I wasn't quite equipped to cut down any trees, but I was comfortable as can be. </div>

I absolutely love dresses! I think they are so easy to style and oh so comfortable! They pretty much make an outfit, which really comes in handy when you're on the run. Just add some accessories in the mix and you are set to go! I didn't do too much accessorizing with this outfit. I kept it pretty simple with a pair of black tights and my Minnetonka booties. I am a big fan of tights so I wear them all year round. I know there are so many people who would love to trade me places so that they would kick their tights to the curb! I should probably give my legs some sun though or I'll be blinding people whenever I do go bare! </div>

♥ I found myself wearing lots of sparkles in March! I have a small collection of shiny things, and they seem to make their way into my daily outfits. Every girl loves her glitter.<br />
<br />
♥ We went on a few small road trips this month, and early mornings on the road call for breakfast stops. Breakfast has got to be one of my favorite meals of the day, especially when it involves coffee and potatoes.<br />
<br />
♥ Spring arrived last month and so did all the beautiful blooms! The weather has been absolutely perfect lately. During the day the sun is out to keep me warm, and at night it rains and puts me right to sleep. So perfect! <br />
<br />
♥ As you all know, this month I did a little <a href="http://littleredbowtique.storenvy.com/">Little Red Bowtique</a> update. I still have lots of pretty things available! <br />
<br />
♥ Rigby and I have been spending more time together, and I'm starting to think he may love me as much as he loves Jon now. Yeah, we're pretty competitive when it comes to Rigby!<br />
<br />
♥ I love candy! I am an especially big fan of anything sour! So good. Anyway, I feel like I've overdosed on candy. Maybe on my April recap you will see more pictures of vegetables and fruits.... Maybe. <br />
<br />
♥ I'm sure you can tell by my outfits that I have settled right into Spring. The first day of spring I thought it would be perfect to wear florals so I wore my floral print oxfords. I don't own lots of floral print clothes, but these shoes will add that dash of floral that any Spring outfit will need.<br />
<br />
♥ That last photo is of Jon and I on Easter. I'm just warning you that it's about to get really sappy. Oh how I love my partner in crime. I really am so blessed to have such an amazing husband who is so supportive and encouraging. We are looking forward to the month of April and just the future in general. I'm so excited for the great things that are to come for us. I'm also so thankful to God and the people around us who cheer us on! We love you all so much! <br />

I'm back from my long, fun, and family-filled weekend! It's always great to be in company of the people you love the most. My weekend was full of laughs, hugs, and memories. I had so much fun seeing my nephews open up their gifts and just enjoy their special day! I love birthdays! It is a crazy world and making it through another year on this earth is pretty amazing. I also ate so much junk this weekend, and enjoyed every bit of it! Now I'm back to reality, and I must get back on the exercise and stop-eating-so-much-candy train. </div>

This weekend, I wore one of my best Target finds ever! I had my eye on this dress for months, and recently I found it for only $7! This cheapskate was very happy! Target's clearance section deserves an award. I always find the best stuff for the best price! </div>

My sister and brother in law introduced us to the game Rummy-O this weekend, and now we are hooked! I couldn't believe I had never played it before! It is so much fun! This game involves lots of thinking and strategy. Love those kind of games! We're so addicted now, that tonight we're off to play at their place. Let the fun continue! </div>

I love Fridays! I don't mind any other day of the week, but there is just something special about Friday. Today was a busy one too! I woke up, and went on walk. This week, I have been waking up early and going on 3 mile walks in the morning. It's a really great way to start the day! Also, waking up early makes the day feel so much longer and so much more productive. By the end of the day, I am exhausted and ready to catch all the Zzz's that exist! This is a bit different than my insomniac ways of last week. I hope to make this a habit!<br />
<br />
Today I went out did some preparing for this weekend's events. I have two nephew's birthdays to celebrate this weekend, and I was on the search for their gifts. We have lots of family time planned this weekend, and I am really looking forward to it! Kids are the funnest to celebrate! Their reactions to gifts are the cutest thing too! Can't wait to see these little guy's faces when they see what they got for their birthdays!<br />
<br />
It seems like my Friday ritual these days has been wearing black and white! Well today I decided to add a little pop of color in the mix. I love colored denim! Since it's spring, I will be on the search for pastel colored pants. I only have mint, but I would love a lavender pair! I also added a pair of booties that I hardly wear to my outfit today. I usually wear these shoes with dressy outfits, but I thought out of the box today and gave them a try with a casual outfit. In the words of Tim Gunn, Make it work! <br />
<br />
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and happy Easter to you all! ♥Marlyn Penahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12718020960964958682noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8962830253868900782.post-57220626961817737272013-03-27T14:50:00.002-07:002013-03-27T20:02:56.557-07:00Weekday Uniform<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7GKUTHMsHnVsjeKkNh8g2SdjF6IOAYFcgtkd0v5MG1AxhNao1UlgYqhBIRob3DgA9I2VwRe61RDN1i3Wh8k6eWKWMDzV8_KhOiz7sjMqwZCMdVVt9V71H1Dyw3cm5RQ-qGU0JfR_ZBRWb/s1600/IMG_1960.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7GKUTHMsHnVsjeKkNh8g2SdjF6IOAYFcgtkd0v5MG1AxhNao1UlgYqhBIRob3DgA9I2VwRe61RDN1i3Wh8k6eWKWMDzV8_KhOiz7sjMqwZCMdVVt9V71H1Dyw3cm5RQ-qGU0JfR_ZBRWb/s1600/IMG_1960.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Monday through Friday you can find me in a slouchy top and a pair of jeans. This is what I call my weekday day uniform. Today I fancied it up with this pair of heeled booties and a my favorite Scarlett Garnet necklace. There was a time when the only thing I wore was skirts and dresses, and I still wear them a lot but I've given pants a chance. It really helps when you find a pair of pants that you love. I'm a little bit on the short side (I'm 5'2") so finding a pair of jeans that isn't too long can be a difficult task. However, these are the perfect length for me! So I went and bought them in different colors! I am guilty of doing this with quite a few things. If I really love something, I go and buy it in every color. Can't go wrong with that! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">While I was outside, I couldn't help but snap some photos of the pretty flowers that Spring brought me. All the trees are covered in flowers, the birds are chirping away, and I can leave the windows open all day. I'm enjoying everything about Spring just like I knew I would. </div>Marlyn Penahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12718020960964958682noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8962830253868900782.post-31652288330387864262013-03-24T23:04:00.000-07:002013-03-24T23:04:49.604-07:00Lazy Sunday <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My weekend was wonderfully lazy! I spent most of it laying on my couch watching cheesy shows on Animal planet and snacking on sour candy. It was the best. However, today I did have take a break from being lazy to go outside. It was beautiful out so Jon and I decided to go on a long walk around the neighborhood with Rigby. I get allergies really bad during this season, but I enjoy looking at all the beautiful trees and flowers during this season. So I took a Zyrtec, and off we went! Everyone was outside today too, which was so nice. Today was the epitome of Spring! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we came home, we treated Rigby to a bath. He didn't think it was much of a treat though! Rigby is scared of bathrooms because he hates baths! It's so funny because he follows Jon all over the house, but he will NOT walk into a bathroom. As soon as Jon walked into the bathroom, Rigby wanted out of the house. He went up to the sliding door, and started scratching it. It was hilarious and adorable! </div>

Happy Friday, lovely people! Last night before I went to bed I could have sworn that it was Wednesday. Well turns out I was wrong! This week went by really fast... actually, this month did! Time flies when you're having fun, right?! Friday's are always good days though! I don't have any set plans for the weekend, but I do want to do something fun. Lets see what pops up! Do you guys have any special plans for the weekend? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today was full of family fun and errands. I think I got a good start to my weekend already! This morning I went out for a walk, and then got ready to go to breakfast with my parents. My nephew joined us too, which always means a blast! Then off to run our errands we went. As soon as we were done, we celebrated with some frozen yogurt. I seriously love that stuff! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A flowy skirt probably wasn't the best decision for today, because it is so windy outside! This is why I decided to take some pictures indoors today. I also decided that black and white where the colors of the day! As you all know, I love print mixing! Whenever I mix prints, I have to throw a few polka dots in there too! Oh, and I love this bird skirt too! I don't think I've worn this skirt since the Summer! My Summer staples are coming out to play little by little. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I bought a Cannon AE-1 not too long ago, and I haven't gotten the chance to play with it yet. I'm thinking that I might get some parts that it's missing, and some film for it soon. I love playing with old cameras! I'm such a newbie at all this photography business. It really takes skill and creativity to be an amazing photographer! I hope one day I'll acquire half the skills of some amazing photographers I've seen! Last time I asked tips, I got some really good ones! Have any of you used a camera like this one? Anything I should know? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well I'm off to continue my weekend fun! I hope you all have a lovely one! </div>

My mom has always been the queen of cooking, and she has shared some of her cooking secrets with me! I'm no culinary genius, but thanks to my mom I won't go hungry.<br />
<br />
When I was growing up, tacos were my absolute favorite. My mom would make them with not only ground beef, but potatoes too! This is probably where my deep love for potatoes has rooted from. Just this past weekend, I made taco salads for my hubby and I. Of course, I documented it on Instagram! I got few recipe requests, so I thought I would share this super easy recipe with you guys!<br />
<br />
Serving Size: 2<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1/2 pound of lean ground turkey<br />
2 Del Oro Tostada Crowns <br />
1/2 package of McCormick Low Sodium Taco Seasoning<br />
2 Small potatoes, chopped <br />
1 can of Pinto beans<br />
1/2 head of iceberg lettuce<br />
2 tomatoes, chopped<br />
1/2 cup of chopped fresh cilantro<br />
1/2 cup of chopped onion<br />
1 avocado, chopped<br />
Reduced Fat Daisy Sour cream (to your liking)<br />
Reduced Fat Sargento 4 Cheese Mexican Cheese (to your liking)<br />
Salsa (to your liking, I like the Taco Bell Home Original sauce, but Pace or any other type can be used)<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
<span class="plaincharacterwrap break">1. Cook the ground turkey and chopped potatoes in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir them together, and then stir in the taco seasoning.</span><span class="plaincharacterwrap break"><span class="plaincharacterwrap break"> You will want to cover the pan, so that the potatoes will cook thoroughly. </span> Once they are finished, the potatoes will be soft and the meat will be browned. </span><br />
<span class="plaincharacterwrap break"><br /></span>
<span class="plaincharacterwrap break">2. In another pan, you will want to heat the pinto beans. You can also have these beans refried if you'd like. </span><br />
<span class="plaincharacterwrap break"><br /></span>
<span class="plaincharacterwrap break">3. Once your tostada crowns are ready, add the beans, lettuce, tomato, cilantro, avocado, and onion to them. Then you will want to add the meat and potatoes on top. </span><br />
<span class="plaincharacterwrap break"><br /></span>
<span class="plaincharacterwrap break">4. Top your salad with sour cream, cheese, and salsa. </span><br />
<span class="plaincharacterwrap break"><br /></span>
<span class="plaincharacterwrap break">As you guys can see, I LOVE cheese. I also like to use the reduced fat stuff, because it's just as good as the regular thing. It just makes me feel a little less guilty! I hope you guys enjoy this recipe! It's so easy and fast! </span><br />
<br />
<span class="plaincharacterwrap break">Do you guys have any dishes that you make that you happen to grow up with as well? </span><br />
<br />

I've never been one to celebrate St. Patrick's day, but I decided wearing some green wouldn't hurt! I've been really into celebrating every holiday this year. So far, so festive! After all, green is slowly turning into one of my favorite Spring colors. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Speaking of green, my husband spied this little dress at the store and made me get it. Doesn't he have amazing taste?! He's the best shopping buddy, and always breaks down my penny pinching ways. I've also been looking for a dress that has a vintage feel to it, and this fits the category. And it has polka dots! What more can I ask for?</div>

It's Monday, which means we are back to our productive ways! Today will be full of to-do lists and plans for the rest of the week. This weekend was lovely. I spent most of it at home relaxing, cooking, cleaning, and watching movies with the hubby. I also plan on sharing some recipes of the things I cooked this weekend with you. I am way overdue on a recipe post! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As you can see by the looks of my hair, it has been windy in these parts of the world! I can't complain one bit though, because I am able to wear light dresses and walk out of the house without a sweater. It's nice. I absolutely love this dress! It always makes me think of the "Put a Bird On It" Portlandia episode! It was a perfect day to put a bird on it. If you haven't seen it, here it is: <br />

Spring, Spring, Spring. I know, I have not shut up about it since last month! I am currently typing this blog post with the window open, and I can feel a nice breeze coming in. It's awesome. That's Spring for you. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What says Spring louder than floral prints, cat-eye sunglasses, light dresses, and bunny flats?! I have been lusting after most of these pretties for a while now. I especially love that Dear Creatures dress from <a href="http://www.emergingthoughts.com/">Emerging Thoughts</a>! Everything in the Dear Creatures Spring collection is absolutely gorgeous. </div>

I am so excited to be partnering with Scarlett Garnet Jewelry to bring you this lovely giveaway! The journey of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/scarlettgarnet">Scarlett Garnet</a> began in 2006, when Katie Miller and Garnet Griebel decided to become a team. Katie lived in Charleston, SC while Garnet lived in Kansas City, MO, but the miles could never stop them from producing beautiful jewelry. They would communicate solely through emails and by phone. In 2007, Katie moved back to Saint Louis, which is when they first met in person. There is still some distance between these two creative geniuses but they still manage to make it work. Their story is amazing, and shows us that the sky is the limit. </div>

Scarlett Garnet jewelry is the perfect example of beautiful craftsmanship! Their pieces are so detailed and unique. They can be worn all year round, and go well with so many different outfits! I am absolutely in love with this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/113498362/wood-and-acrylic-chevron-necklace-multi?">Wood and Acrylic Chevron Necklace</a>! This is a statement necklace that everyone needs in their jewelry box! I love the pop of color that the blue acrylic gives. The materials that it is paired with are perfect! I was also amazed by the beautiful packaging that their pieces are shipped in. Yet another gorgeous detail! </div>

I'm sure you all have noticed my polka dot obsession. I wrote a post not too long ago about how I wanted to add different things to my closet, and maybe tone down my love for polka dots. I think that may be impossible though. Needless to say, polka dots are here to stay! I just can't stay away from them. I guess I can say that polka dots are my spirit print! </div>

I am a big fan of dresses and skirts with pockets. I think they not only look neat, but they also come in handy. I've had this skirt for a few years now, and I've always loved it. It's one of those timeless pieces that I'll probably never get rid of. I also like the fact that I can dress it up or down. I thought I would add a little pop of color to these neutrals I was wearing. Colored tights always do the trick. </div>

On Sunday, I decided to dress up a bit for a date with the hubby. We had a great weekend. We got to watch a movie, eat some good food, and spend some quality time together. It was awesome. </div>

So I didn't exactly walk on a yellow brick road, but I did go watch Oz the Great and Powerful yesterday. I absolutely loved it! I'm a big fan of the Oz movies and I also read and saw Wicked. So I was really anticipating this film! Everything about this film was amazing! The effects, costumes, actors, just everything! I'm also a big fan of James Franco. He was perfect for the role! </div>

I geeked out big time by wearing all green. I can't help it. It's also a perfect excuse to bust out my Spring attire! I don't own a lot of green, but I'm glad I gave this color a chance. I am opening up to new colors this year. Speaking of Spring, today is daylight savings time. I have never been so excited to lose an hour of sleep! I am definitely looking forward to more sunlight. </div>

Here's what I have added so far. It had been so long since I listed anything new on my Storenvy shop so I'm pretty excited. I look forward to updating the shop more often! I will also be adding some vintage pieces in addition to these new pieces. <br />

These are all things that I would wear, but I will be adding a lot more variety in the future. My favorite out of the bunch is the <a href="http://littleredbowtique.storenvy.com/products/1181087-collar-a-lady-dress">Collar a Lady dress</a>! I am loving all of the pretty details on this dress! I am a big fan of anything with a Peter Pan collar and a bow. I also love the Spring has Spring necklace. It's so colorful and fitting for Spring! So what do you guys think? I would love to hear your feedback or requests! </div>

I am so happy with all of the pastels I have been seeing everywhere these days. It can only mean one thing, Spring is near! With Spring coming, I feel like I am in need of a bit more of the pastel color palette in my closet.<br />
<br />
Above are a few of the pastel pieces that have recently caught my eye. I am especially in love with those <a href="http://www.baitfootwear.com/">Bait</a> Spectator T-strap heels! T-straps have always had a special place in my heart, but these are just plain amazing! Bait Footwear has a ton of gorgeous shoes that are perfect for the Spring. So many styles and pretty colors! Pink, mint, and lavender are definitely taking over this Spring. <br />
<br />
I also wanted to give you all the news that I will be updating <a href="http://littleredbowtique.storenvy.com/">Little Red Bowtique</a> (my Storenvy shop) very soon! Expect lots of pretty pastels and collars! I have been wanting to update my shop for the longest time, and I'm so excited to finally get the ball rolling. At the moment, I only have handmade hair accessories listed. I will let you guys as soon as the new listings are up!

Hearts, stripes, bows, navy, and red are all on the list of my favorite
things. Since I have no self control, I wear them all at the same time.
Why not, right?! </div>

The colors I wore today remind me of the beach. Oh how I miss the beach!
It has been quite a while since I've taken a trip to Santa Cruz or
Monterrey, but today I dressed up like that was my destination. If you
can't go to the beach, bring the beach to where you are. That was
today's theory. I didn't get to enjoy any waves or sand in person, but I
am definitely enjoying it in spirit. </div>
