It’s official, I’m 30! (Thanks
Erin for adding that sweet banner on the collage!) I feel like it snuck up on me (the last 10 years that is.) I don’t feel like it’s been 12 years since I graduated, but I do feel like I’ve accomplished a lot of the things I’ve wanted to over the years. This next year should be eventful – I will graduate with my MBA, finish my last CCE certication at work, and who knows what else is in store for Shane and me?? I don’t know, but I’m definitely excited to see where the next 10 years take me. = ) Everyone says your 30’s are much better than your 20’s, so this should be a fun ride. = ) Shane and I will be going out of town Thursday and Friday to do some hiking one day and then go to a waterpark the next day. It sounds like the perfect fun, outdoorsy but relaxing trip to me. And on top of that, a 3 day work week!
Thank you so much for stopping by the Trend Spin Linkup with
The Fashion Canvas and myself! Today’s trend is red, white and blue. Show us how you wear it – a dress, denim, a tee or an entire outfit. It doesn’t matter what clothing item it is or where it’s from; we’d love to see it. Here are our top 2 chambray looks from last week.
Featured Bloggers in Chambray
Next Tuesday’s trend will be stars or stripes! It doesn’t have to be red, white and blue. You can wear any color stars or any style of stripes. Have fun with it!
Non-Boggers: All non-bloggers will be able to submit photos to
Trendspinlinkup@gmail.com. We will then select one photo each to be our featured reader of the week on the day of the linkup!
Bloggers: All bloggers will be able to submit their post links via the inlinkz widget below every Tuesday at 12:00am with their take on our trend of the week. This will allow bloggers to show off their personal style, find new followers and meet some great fashionistas! You will also have the chance to be featured on our blogs the following Tuesday!

I want to introduce you to some of my amazing July sponsors that have teamed up to giveaway a $45 Marshalls gift card to one lucky reader! These ladies are genuinely sweet and beautiful. I can’t say it enough, but I have met some of the nicest, most down to earth girls through blogging. Make sure to stop by and say hello to them and then enter the giveaway by using the Rafflecopter widget below.
Bri and I have been Instagram/Blog buddies since the beginning. She is a wife, teacher and mother and still finds the time to run – busy, busy! Bri likes to blog about her day to day life which includes her beautiful year-old daughter Ella (in the picture above!) and her husband and training for her second half marathon. Bri loves shopping and also loves doing outfit posts. Please stop by and say hello to Bri to keep up with her busy but fun life!
Miranda is a 20-something cat lady living, working and blogging in Houston, Texas. She describes herself as any other girl with a shopping addiction who happens to just post her everyday outfits on the internet, but she is so much more than that! She has a very feminine style with touches of edge and sass, and she loves to shop on a budget. She also enjoys being a resident “everyday girl” with an average body size representing the non-model types of the blogging community which I completely relate to. She is anything but ordinary though, and I think you will love her girly, fun style! Please stop by and say hello if you get the chance.
