Wishing for: Ankle Boots

Ankle Boots Wishlist by jaythejedi featuring Liz Claiborne

I really want some great ankle boots, in either black or brown.  I would be pretty happy if any of these ones found their way into my wardrobe.  But since I refuse to buy shoes online (I know if I get the wrong size I can send them back, but that's a huge hassle), I have to wait until I find the perfect ankle boots in my size at one of the local thrift stores, so I might not get any for awhile.  My feet are pretty big, so I can't find shoes that fit very often, and even less often shoes that fit, which I like, and are in my price range.  But a girl can dream, and wish.  So I will be content with that for now.

Sick Again

Hi guys, sorry for being MIA but I have been sick again.  I couldn't keep food down for four or five days in a row, then had to go to the emergency room for dehydration.  The doctors think it's hormonal, but they want me to get an endoscopy just to make sure there's not something they're missing.  I am able to keep food down now, mainly miso soup, but I lost 7 pounds in two weeks, which is not good.  If you recall, before I was diagnosed with celiac disease I lost 15 pounds over the course of three months, so this new weight loss happened much faster.  I am not going back to work until I gain back half of the weight I lost, since I always go back too soon and then overdo it and end up being out for even longer.  So Netflix is my best friend right now.  I hope you are all doing well.

Friday Fashion: Studded Peplum Top and Floral Jeans

top and shoes: Crossroads Trading Co., jeans: 10DollarMall.com, necklace: hand-me-down from my mom

I've been looking for the perfect peplum top for about a year and I finally found it!  It was just $8 at Crossroads Trading Co.  It fits me perfectly and is the perfect balance of cute and tough.  I wore it with my awesome floral jeans, which I got for just $5!  Seriously check out 10DollarMall.com (not an affiliate link).  They have some really cool stuff, all for below $10.  I have bought quite of bit of clothing from them including a pair of purple feather print jeans, a blue and black houndstooth pattern motorcycle jacket style hoodie, and some jeweled skull flats.  I have loved everything I bought from them and the sizing is very accurate.  These are my favorite jeans because every time I wear them I get a ton of compliments on them.  The day I wore this outfit, one of the girls in my house told me she wants me to redo her entire wardrobe.  Now that's a compliment!  My mom gave me this necklace ages ago because she never wore it, and I hadn't worn it yet, because I never wear gold-toned jewelry (I prefer silver-toned jewelry) but I think it went really well with this outfit.  It's so cool.  In case you can't tell it's a zipper.

Most importantly this outfit was super comfortable while looking awesome, so I felt extra confident all day.  I think I've mentioned it before but these jeans are as comfortable as pajama pants. 

What awesome outfits have you been wearing lately?  What item of clothing have you been hunting for for ages?  (I have a few.  Right now they're black-and-white striped skinny jeans, camo skinny jeans, and a black faux leather jacket.)

Printing with Signazon

This is a sponsored post, but all of the opinions expressed in it are my own.

Signazon is a website that provides printing services that are great for businesses or individuals.  There are a lot of products including (but definitely not limited to) business cards, stationery, banners, and posters.  I found the site very easy to navigate and had no trouble finding anything that I was looking for on it.

I looked at the business cards first, because that's one of the things that pretty much everyone uses.  They have some really great customizable templates and also the option to design your own.  These are some of my favorite business card templates on their site.

You can also design your own stationery on Signazon, whether it's for letterhead or personal use.  You can upload your own graphics or use theirs.  The customizer tool is very user-friendly.  You just click on each item to change it, such as the text or the picture.  There are 40 different font choices, so you'll probably find one that you like.  One thing that I really like about the customizer tool is when you pick a custom color, it shows you a palette of four other colors that look good with that color.

Signazon also offers you the option to create stylish invites for your next party.  Some of the invitation templates look great and some look fairly amateur, but it is really simple to customize any of them and make them look fantastic.

You can like or follow Signazon on Facebook and Twitter.  I haven't purchased anything from Signazon but I have read some of their customer reviews and they have over 1,000 very satisfied customers!  If you're still unsure about online-printing with Signazon.com, you should definitely check out their free samples, which allow you to see the quality of their products before you buy.  You can also sign up for their newsletter to receive information about exclusive offers, new merchandise, business marketing tips, and more.
