Look of the Day: Everybody Makes Mistakes, Everybody Has Those Days

Let's talk about mistakes. We all make them, I make them DAILY. I used to beat myself up over mistakes I made. I would get frustrated and angry. But you know what I do now when I make mistakes? I LEARN FROM THEM. Like Miley Cyrus said (yes, no shame, I love Hannah Montana and Miley -- have you not realized I'm a dork yet?) "If things don't work out as you planned, figure something else out. Don't stay down, try again". And that's exactly what I do.

For example, blogging can be tough for me at times. I have a strong voice when it comes to writing, but technically I'm not the best at it. So this morning when I was on my walk, my mom called to tell me there were mistakes in my blog post. I immediately walked home to fix the mistakes, I couldn't focus on my walk knowing that there were mistakes in my post. I was frustrated, embarrassed and mad at myself. My patient mother went through the post with me and helped me correct my errors. While the post was fixed (well it's good enough, I'm never perfect) my ego wasn't. So I took some time, hiked up the hill and cleared my mind.

And then I came home and blasted some Miley Cyrus. See, I told you I am a dork.
I've learned holding on to feelings of frustration does nothing but make me unhappy and upset. And that's not how I like to feel.
Live and LEARN!

Look of the Day: Viv & Ingrid

Last Thursday I attended Viv&Ingrid's 10 year anniversary in Berkley. It was so nice to check out their local shop and meet Viv and Ingrid; two Berkley Graduates who decided their passion was making jewelry. Their pieces were intricate, interesting and delicate, right up my ally. I left with a delicate necklace and a goody bag full of fun items (Thanks Ruby Press!). I love buying pieces from people I've actually met and I love hearing them talk about their passion and dedication to their craft. I was happy to support Viv & Ingrid (two of the sweetest ladies).

I can't tell you how many compliments I've received on the Disc Necklace I purchased. I actually haven't taken it off yet, I even wore it to the wedding I attended.

Yup, the perfect the necklace day to night with a blink!

Off to San Diego! I'll be Facebooking, Tweeting, and Tumbing (and Instagraming: Ambersnotebook) along with Annie of Confessions of a Navy Wife (Oh and so will my friend Samantha, but that's another story...) so make sure to follow along.

Look of the Day: Jazzercise

Ever have a best friend who knows you so well, they can almost predict what you are thinking? That's how Jen and I are, we are on a special wavelength. One filled with nick-names, code words and pretty much our own special language. I think our Facebook friends think we are PRETTY, pretty weird. When we shop, together or separate, we always find things that are a "Jazz piece"{usually pink, not too flowy, and maybe low cut} or a "Bambi piece" {kinda weird, not a lot of color and possible bird print}.

Yesterday my BBF Jen came over and brought me the perfect Bambi top that she found!! This adorable lace top from Target! Is it sweet? I just love random pressies! I'm so lucky to have such thoughtful friends. Jen found this on the clearance rack along with a ton of other amazing deals. Like the Rodarte for Target Lace Cardigan look alike for $6.00!! And some cute jeggings for about $10. So check out your Target sale rack, maybe you will be as lucky as Jen.

Looking back on these pictures this look reminds me of a Chloe outfit.

Free People Jeggings, Target Top, Old Cardigan, J Crew Necklace, Deena and Ozzy Tread boots from Urban Outfitters.

Thanks again Jazz !! You're always looking out for me.
Love, Bambi.
