It has been a hot few days here in the bay area!! We've spent one afternoon at the splash park, one afternoon at the playground and one afternoon at the pool so far this week, and if the kids aren't getting wet (except the afternoon we spent at the playground), we're keeping cool in our house. I get so excited every year to break out my summer clothes after long winters. I've really enjoyed wearing summer clothes this year...loving my t-shirts, sandals, cropped jeans and skirts. I have to say, however, seeing all the fall clothing lines pop up online at multiple sites is making me yearn for some cooler weather. I wish I lived somewhere that stayed 75 degrees year round (give or take 5 degrees). That would be perfect...you'd have the chance to wear both summer and winter clothes on a continual basis. Does that sort of climate even exist? Probably not. Hawaii maybe? I'll enjoy my summer clothes while I can still wear them but I think when the cool, crisp fall weather starts to roll in I won't be too sad.
Since we're talking summer clothes, here's what I've been wearing to beat the heat this week:
Monday:
-Striped Top-Forever 21 (Summer 2011)
-Artist Crop Jeans-American Eagle
-Madden Girl Sandals-DSW (Summer 2010)
-Strung Palms Bracelets-Anthropologie (sold out online)
-Necklace-Nordstrom (BP)
-Bardot Hoop Earrings-Stella & Dot
Tuesday:
-The Gathering Tank-Anthropologie
-Quiet Approach Skirt-Anthropologie (sold out online)
-Presta Wedge Sandals-Target (Summer 2010)
-Necklace-Fossil
-Costa Azul Wrap Bracelet-Stella & Dot
-Earrings-Express
-Ring-OLD
Wednesday: Pool day...no picture of me in the bathing suit, sorry! =)
Thursday:
-Top-Loft (Summer 2010)
-Cami-Banana Republic
-Matchstick Jeans-J Crew Factory (Summer 2010)
-Steve Madden "Fantasik" Wedge Sandals-Amazon (ON SALE NOW!)
-Necklace-Tiffany
-Bracelets-Tiffany
-Ring-Banana Republic
-Earrings-Banana Republic
So who else is DYING for Project Runway to start tonight? I can't wait! I've been excited all week. I'm so tired of blah summer TV, besides, of course, The Bachelorette (which hasn't even been that great this season yet I continue to get sucked in and watch weekly). I guess I'm excited for Fall not only for the clothes but for my TV shows to start up again...Glee, Grey's, Gossip Girl...you know, all the guilty pleasures. By the way, why do they all start with G? Hmmm.
Hope you have a great day!

Anthro Fitting Room Reviews-July 2011

Hi there everyone! It's been a while since I've been able to make it out to Anthropologie to do some fitting room reviews so I was thrilled to be able to finally make my way back this past weekend (without kids even...thanks hubby!). I have to warn you of a few things. First, I wore a dress that day so I had to try everything on with the jeans I grabbed while browsing. Every top I tried on is paired with either red or green denim...and it's not always the cutest match for what I'm wearing on top. There was really no rhyme or reason as you'll see below in the pictures! =) Second, I have a fever blister on my bottom lip right now so my bottom lip looks all swollen and messed up in these pictures. Not cute. All is well and hopefully it'll clear up soon though. I spent a few hours on a bus tour in San Francisco last week when our company was visiting and forgot to put sunscreen on my lips. Bad idea! So you've been warned now! =)
Anyhow, I tried on a TON of things while I was there...lots to get to so let's get the fitting room party started!
Whirligig Dress-$138 (wearing Navy motif)
I like this dress. I don't know if it's love this time around. I'm unsure. I have slightly broad shoulders and I'm feeling like this dress may accentuate that a little maybe? I don't know. I tried it on in an X-Small and it fit good. The small was HUGE in the bust area on me so the X-Small would be the way to go. It doesn't have a ton of extra breathing room around the rib cage but it's not so tight that it bugs me. Overall I'm undecided. I think had I been wearing heels instead of bare feet it would have looked better as well. Wish listed for now...will re-visit again later.
Tokonoma Tee-$98 and Foundational Pencil Skirt-$98 (Pink motif)
And here is the top paired with AG Stevie Ankle Jeans-$158 (Bright Red motif)
Ok, first...the top. I really love the colors of this top...it's really pretty paired with a bright color on bottom. I think it would be equally as cute with white jeans as well. I tried this on in a size 0 and while it fit, I would also like to see if the size 2 would give me another 1/2 inch in length. The size 2 may be too baggy...I don't know. Overall this top is a two thumbs up for me...I like that it can be dressed up or down. Wish listed!
I tried this skirt on in a size 2 and it was a little loose. I'd size down to a size 0 for sure, which means it runs big. The color of this skirt is gorgeous and I love the texture too! The one problem I have with this skirt is the length. It's really long on me and my shorty legs. I know it's meant to be a little long, but I just don't like the way it's cutting me off. I'm sad because had the length been better, I would have been all over this! Maybe I could get it altered?
These are the first of two pairs of AG Ankle Jeans I wore throughout the fitting room reviews. I have seen these online and loved them from afar so I was excited to try them on. I've been craving a pair of red bottoms for a while now. I tried these on in a size 25 and they fit well. They are fitted, but the SA told me they do stretch a little throughout the day so I should stick with these instead of sizing up There is nothing worse than saggy jeans half-way through the day! These jeans hit me right at my ankles and could easily be rolled once or twice to give it a more relaxed look with sandals. They do have a bit of a washed out look to them so they're not a true red... they almost have a coral hint to them. Overall I liked these, but the price tag is holding me back. They are $$$! I'm hoping these are still around when they hit sale...chances are they won't be, but you never know!
Sidebent Tank-$48 (Green motif)
This tank rocks! I'm totally loving the design, the array of five colors it's offered in, the cute twist detail...perfection! I tried this on in a size Small in the picture...the X-Small was just a bit too tight all over. I am totally lusting after this cute tank in multiple colors...wish listed in the green, yellow and pink for sure!
Lazy Maze Tunic-$68
I tried this top on in an X-Small and it fit well. I love all the stripes (since I am having a love affair with stripes this summer) but overall I feel like the top is an odd length on me. Perhaps I would like it better belted? That may be better. The top is soft and stretchy and comfortable, but I'm not sold. Pass for now.
Quantum Blouse-$88 (Red motif), Sun Catcher Cardigan-$88, and AG Stevie Ankle Jeans-$158 (Kelly Green motif)
Ok, this cardigan was my FAVORITE find of the day...I'm in love with it! I love the color, the design, the length...I have not one bad thing to report about it. I tried it on in an X-Small and it fit like a glove. I cannot wait to get this in my closet, but for now I'll try to wait patiently and say "wish listed"!
The polka dot blouse is so cute...the print and color combined makes it a great "wow" piece to have. The one issue I have with this blouse is the amount of fabric that drapes down the middle in the twisted fold. I felt like they could have achieved the look they were going for with less fabric hanging. It literally hung a few inches out which felt awkward. For the right price I might be willing to overlook this little issue because it is such a vibrant, fun top. Wish listed!
Here again are the AG Stevie Ankle jeans, but this time in the Kelly Green color. I actually liked this color a lot more than I thought I would! I tried these on in the smallest size they had which was a 26. They fit well (at the moment), but as mentioned above about the same jeans in the red motif, the SA told me they will stretch a bit so sizing down the a 25 would be the way I'd go for these as well. Wish listed in green too!
Expanding Universe Tank-$58 (Red Motif), and Luzula Cardigan-$98
This cute tank has shot right up to the top of my wish list...it is so unique and fun! I think I've decided I like the Red motif best, but the other two colors are pretty cute as well (see green motif below). I am wearing an X-Small here and like the fit of that best. I am hoping to grab this when it goes on sale.
I paired the tank with this cute printed cardi that I'm wearing in an X-Small. The sleeves were plenty long so stick with your regular size on this or size-down. I liked the way this cardigan fit....not too baggy at all and it hit at a good length right around the hips. The print is kind of random, but I think that's why I liked it...the colors and print combined make it visually interesting. Wish listed!
Here's the green version of the Expanding Universe Tank paired with the Bette Cardigan which I love and have reviewed previously (wearing an X-Small).
Pull-Through Cardi-$78 (Green motif) and The Gathering Tank-$48 (Turquoise motif)
I actually grabbed this sweater to see how terribly ugly it looked on...on the hanger it looked like a dud! Imagine my surprise when I actually kind of liked it! I tried on the X-Small and it fit great. The sweater is a little thin so you have to be careful with it, but I actually think the pull-through aspect of it is pretty cute. I never would have guessed! It comes in 5 colors, and of those this green and the light pink colors were my favorite. Wish listed!
I tried on The Gathering Tank in this newer Turquoise color to see if I liked it and of course, I do. I already have it in the green motif (wearing it today actually) and plan to pick it up in this color once it hits sale. I am wearing a size small in this as I do in the green.
Stacked Perspective Tee-$68
Side View:
I wanted to like this cute striped tee but it fell shapeless and sloppy on me. I am wearing an X-Small in this here and as you can see it's got quite a bit of extra room around the bottom...too much. The top itself is very cute and I like the colors together, but I'm sized out. Back to the rack.
Dorsal Tee-$58 (Blue motif)
Side View to see the draping:
This top comes in three motifs but the only one I really liked on me was the blue. This fits a lot like the Alstroemeria Tee with the slanted hemline. The draping on this is just enough and I like the visual interest it gives. I am wearing an X-Small here and that's what I would go with...it was a good fit. Overall a very cute top! Wish listed for sale time.
Sprightly Shirtdress-on sale now for $59.95 (pink/grey/yellow motif--not sure which it went by)
I am so late to the game on this one, but I saw this hanging on the sale rack all by it's lonesome in a size 2 so I figured I'd give it a go. I really liked it! I think the colors are great for summer, the length is great, the under slip is ok (once you adjust the straps)...overall a great everyday look! The problem, however, was that there was a lot of extra room in the bust area that I didn't *need*. I was hoping to try on a size 0 but there weren't any to try. I would love to get my hands on this dress in a 0 so if anyone has seen it anywhere, let me know! =)
Endive Hoodie-$88
This hoodie is really cute...I love the details and the simple shape. I took an XS in this and it was plenty big so stick to your normal size or size down depending on if you like your hoodies a little roomier or not. Overall I liked this hoodie, but what I didn't like, however, was the price! $88 for a hoodie is a bit much I think. It's very cute and comfy but I don't know that it stands out much more than any other hoodie I've seen. Final verdict...pass for now.
Drapey Bubbled Tee-$58 (Green motif)
Geez, there's a lot of green in this look. =) I should have tried this on with the red pants to break it up a little! I tried this on towards the end of my fitting room session after wearing a lot of green so I was kind of over the color at the moment and just wasn't super "wowed" by this top. Now that I can look at the pictures of it I don't think it's as bad as I thought. That being said, it has it's issues. It's comes in two pieces (tank and sorta sheer top) and falls in a very drapey manner. Perhaps it wouldn't fall so flat on me if I was a little more "blessed" up top. I am wearing a size small in this and overall it was a good fit. This is a pass for now...there are many other fish in the sea!
Botanica Dusk Dress-$158
YAY for another modest dress, Anthro! But BOOOO for making it too long! I tried this dress on in an XS and it fit great! The dress itself is very soft and comfy and I like the pretty print. It would look really cute paired with a yellow cardigan in the colder months! I would have to wear a cami underneath because it falls a little low, but that's normal for me. I really don't think you can wear this dress and have it look flattering on you if it hits you below the knee...it just cuts you off in a bad way. Unless you're at least 5'9" tall I'd say you're outta luck with this one. Too bad, so sad!!
Mystery Top!!!
So in true Jenni fashion, I totally forgot to snap a picture of the tag of this mystery top. It happens at least once every time I go do fitting room reviews. I can't even rememebr what size I tried this in! It's either a size 0 or 2 if it's numerical or an XS or Small if it's sized that way. Sorry...that's pretty much no help. The colors of this top are really pretty and I am totally digging how the print continues in it's entirety onto the back of the shirt. It does have a tie-back built into the top which I have mixed feeling about. I always worry a top wil look too maternity-ish if it has ties. Overall this is a nice blouse, but I'm not in love. Pass.
Alrighty, that's it! See anything you're loving? Any duds? What will end up in your closet? I'd love to hear!
Speaking of clothes, did you score anything this morning on sale at Anthro? I picked up this in the orange motif and this (I hear the Red motif fits differently than the others that were complete fails on me...hoping it fits!!)
Well, hope you have a great day! =)

The colors of this top are really pretty and I am totally digging how the print continues in it's entirety onto the back of the shirt. It does have a tie-back built into the top which I have mixed feeling about. I always worry a top wil look too maternity-ish if it has ties. Overall this is a nice blouse, but I'm not in love. Pass.
Alrighty, that's it! See anything you're loving? Any duds? What will end up in your closet? I'd love to hear!
Speaking of clothes, did you score anything this morning on sale at Anthro? I picked up this in the orange motif and this (I hear the Red motif fits differently than the others that were complete fails on me...hoping it fits!!)
Well, hope you have a great day! =)

***Stella & Dot Giveaway!!!*** and an OOTD
Happy Friday everyone!
I have a special surprise giveaway for you today! If you follow my blog at all you've probably noticed that I LOVE Stella & Dot jewelry and have a few pieces that I wear quite often. I am a huge fan of the company and think their jewelry is so on trend.

Ellaine is also offering a $30 gift certificate to any "Found in My Closet" follower who books a trunk show (in person/online) with her! I actually hosted a Stella & Dot trunk show a few months back and earned almost $150 worth of free jewelry for myself. It was awesome, and so easy! Have you seen the new Fall 2011 Stella & Dot line? OH MY CUTE! I am lusting after so many pieces, and as soon as you take a look at the new roll out you will be too!

Summer Stripes
This summer I have fully jumped on the stripes bandwagon...I love to wear stripes! Today I threw on this fun stripey shirt I picked up at J Crew Factory a few months back for a whopping $15. Cute stripes on the cheap? Sign me up!
Here's what I wore today:
And here are a few pictures to piece together to see it in real life:
Striped Dolman Sleeve Tee-J Crew Factory
Artist Crop Jeans-American Eagle
Steve Madden "Cabezza" Sandals-Shoes.com
Necklace-Stella & Dot
Earrings-Forever 21
Bracelets-Anthropologie (red) and Forever 21 (turquoise)
Maybe I'll actually remember to take a full length picture of my outfit tomorrow...till then the self portrait is as good as it gets! =)
We were sad to say goodbye to our company this morning....now back to reality (and my large pile of laundry). Tomorrow morning I'm planning on getting up early to attempt to run again after taking a few weeks off to let my back heal. I did something to hurt it while working out and knew I'd have to give it a few weeks to heal, but I'm going a little crazy! Running is my stress reliever so taking a few weeks off is hard to do. I will say, however, not having to get up at the crack of dawn to run has been nice these past few weeks! =) I'm crossing my fingers it feels good and it's all better when I hit the treadmill in the morning.
Have a great Wednesday!!!

Out and About
I stopped by a few dressing rooms this weekend...had a little shopping fun with my sis-in-law, Lauren (who, by the way, has such cute style), who's in town visiting with my bro-in-law. We went out on Friday night for date night and stopped by Nordstrom between dinner and dessert to check out the Anniversary sale. I had my eye on THIS before the sale started and was hoping to track it down. I couldn't locate it anywhere but luckily Lauren spotted it from afar. It's really cute! I ended up getting it in a Small-Petite because that's all I could find it in but honestly, it fit perfect! It's a little sheer and a bit low so it'll require a cami underneath but it's a great versatile layering piece for a great price. And I love the fun bow! I also found a few cute pieces of jewelry in the BP section, and I picked THIS up in bright pink for just $12 (we can be cardi twins now Tricia!!!) I'm still mulling over a few pairs of shoes that are on sale. To get or not to get...that is the question! I may pass...GASP! Is that a bit of self control I detect? Till tomorrow at least.
Last night my sis-in-law and I took off for a quick girl's night out. We stopped by F21 for a bit and then saw a movie...we watched "Larry Crowne". It was cute....a little slow starting, but cute. F21 was sort of a bust for me this time around...I didn't try any clothes on I couldn't live without. I did find a belt and a bracelet...can't leave empty handed on girl's night!
So here's a peek at what I wore this weekend:
Friday night--date night!
I threw on a cardi later in the evening when it got a little chilly:
Blazing Blouse-Anthropologie
Jackie Cardigan (Navy)-J Crew
Perfect Boot Jeans-Gap
Shoes-Journey's (OLD)
Necklace-Loft
Earrings-Nordstrom
Ring-Pree Brulee
Saturday:
Polka-Dot Tank-Old Navy
BP 3/4 sleeve Cardi-Nordstrom
Cropped Jeans-J Crew Factory
BP "Tee" Wedge Sandals-Nordstrom
Pessinus Garden Necklace-Anthropologie
Bangle-Macy's
Ring-OLD--from a jewelry party
Today was my husband's birthday but the poor guy was on call and had to go into work twice. We fit dinner and cake in between calls so at least he got to enjoy it a little. Such is the life of a resident. Have you ever had a Cold Stone Ice Cream cake? Oh, my YUM! It was so good! I highly recommend them. Tomorrow we're headed into San Francisco to hang out and show our company around. I'm looking forward to a fun day!
Hope you have a great start to the week!

Summer Days
Here we are smack dab in the middle of summer vacation and I am loving life right about now! This morning I didn't get out of bed until almost 9am. Lazy? Yes, a little. But I'm ok with that. In about a month I won't get to do that anymore so I have to take advantage while I can! My youngest came in and snuggled in bed with me as he watched cartoons and I enjoyed the lack of a to-do list. We got up, I made muffins for the kids for breakfast, we ate breakfast, we watched some TV, my oldest made a cute little book and read it to me, the boys played some (educational) computer games, many lego creations were made and spread all over the house, I folded some laundry, we had lunch, my youngest took his nap, I gave my two older boys haircuts, I finally showered and got ready for the day (around 2pm...whoops!), we hung out some more, we went to the park to meet up with some friends for a play date, I said goodbye to a friend who is moving tomorrow, we came home and ate dinner, the boys and I loaded back up in the car and went to get some fro-yo for dessert, we came home, I gave my youngest his haircut, we did the whole bedtime routine and the boys went to bed and then my husband got home before it was completely dark out. YAY! The end. It was a great summer day.
Here's what I wore:
Floral Print Tank-Old Navy
Tank-Old Navy
Cardigan-Forever 21
Cropped Jeans-J Crew Factory
Steve Madden "Fantasik" Wedge Sandals-Amazon
Necklace-Lisa Leonard Designs
Earrings-Nordstrom
Bracelet-Stella & Dot
Ring-Pree Brulee
It's been a while since I've posted my wish list so I thought I'd share what it is I've got my eye on right now...too many things, as always!!! =)
Just a few things! =) There are of course more, but I have to draw a line somewhere.
Oh, and remember that dress I MAY have ordered from DownEast Basics last week? This one:
It arrived at my doorstep today and I might be in LOVE! The length is actually pretty good and the colors are so pretty! I can't wait to wear it! I think I may sew a small snap into the skirt part to keep the wrap part from opening up too much even though it would probably be fine without it. It's not a true wrap bottom...kind of a half-wrap. Anyhow, for $31 I was pretty impressed!
Well, I'm off to organize a few things before I head to bed. Gotta get ready for our weekend company who arrive tomorrow night!
Have a great Thursday!

Girlie-girl
On Monday I felt like wearing a dress. Funny how some days you just don't feel like wearing pants of any kind! I opened up my closet and saw the cute dress hanging that I won last month when I entered a giveaway on Kristina's blog. She bought the dress brand new from Target and then used her mad sewing/design skills to Anthro-fy it up a bit, and then generously gave it away! I think she did a great job. The dress fit perfectly when I tried it on...perfect length even, which is usually the challenge with dresses, for me. A huge thank you to Kristina for this cute look today...I feel totally "girlie-girl" in it!!
-Converse One Star "Savannah" Dress-Target (c/o Kristina)
-Tank-J Crew Factory
-Cardigan-Old Navy (scored this for $6.00!!)

-Bracelet-Twisted Silver

So did anyone watch the Bachelorette on Monday night? Ugh. I don't know what to think about this season..it's not my fave. Just get to the top 2 already and pick one! And then there was the interview with Emily of "Brad and Emily". That was a waste of time! She said nothing we didn't already know. Another Bachelor relationship goes kaput. Shocker! =) Yet I continue to watch each season like something is going to be different this time around. Those ABC producers have me right where they want me!
And then there was the Anthro sale...yay! I picked up a few items and also re-bought a few things I have but had never worn that hit 2nd cuts. Sweet! Love a good surprise like that! I even picked up a few gifts....I have 4 sister-in-laws with birthdays in June-August so I've gotta get busy! A few will be getting belated gifts (sorry!!!) and a few MAY be on time. Hopefully.
Here's the two new items I picked up to hang in my closet:
Hace Sol Peasant Top
Atomical Tee
I am super excited for the Hace Sol Peasant Top as I've been waiting for that to go on sale for a while now, but the Atomical Tee I'm not as sure about. I liked it when I tried it on at the store but I want to see what it looks like in my own bathroom mirror. Sometimes I get a completely different picture when I look in my bathroom mirror at home. We'll see!
There were a few other things I was tempted by but ultimately,I decided to pass...for now. You never know what could happen when and if they make 2nd cuts though!!!
Did you get anything?? Take advantage of the free shipping promo one last time? I wish that was sticking around longer!
Well, I'm off to bed. Gotta get some sleep to be able to survive my crew of three tomorrow! Hope you all have a great day!

Weekend Fun!
Happy Monday once again! Hope you all had a great weekend! I had a good one...lots of family time which was fun. My baby boy turned 2 years old yesterday so we celebrated by getting together with my parents and brothers for dinner, cake and ice cream and opening presents. Can't believe my baby is two!
So here's what I wore this weekend...first up is Saturday's outfit:
-Top-Quincee's Boutique (Provo, UT)
-Artist Crop Jeans-American Eagle
-Yellow Flats-Target
-Necklace-Old Navy
-Ring-Pree Brulee
-Earrings-Express
Sunday:
-Blooming Goldenrod Dress-Anthropologie
-Cardigan-Target
-BP "Berty" Sandals-Nordstrom
-Necklace-Stella & Dot
-Earrings-J Crew Factory
-Bracelet-J Crew
-Ring-Banana Republic
This coming week we've got lots going on so that means I'll actually have good reason to get dressed up a little! Last week I was super relaxed and kind of took it easy. It's nice to do that every now and again! This week we'll be on the go though. My oldest son has golf camp, we'll meet up with friends for a play date or two most likely, my bro-in-law and his cute new wife are coming to visit us for a few days this weekend, we have a birthday party to go to...lots of fun stuff to keep us busy. I just realized we actually only have only a little over a month left of summer vacation...CRAZY! Guess I better start thinking about school supply shopping.
Here's to the start of a great week!
PS--So excited to watch The Bachelorette tonight! ABC totally duped up all last week when they forgot to tell us they weren't playing a new episode...BOO!
PSS--I know I shouldn't want there to be a sale at Anthro tomorrow, but the free shipping promo ends Friday, so I'm kinda hoping for one!

Friday Finds!
I love to see what other people are loving at the moment so here are a few things from my personal love list...welcome to "Friday Finds"!
Stroke of Midnight Dress
This lovely dress screams "Anthro" to me! This may or may not be on it's way to me (and I may or may not have even got it for 30% off with the code "PEOPLE"--which gives you 30% off all dresses and skirts through July 21st). Maybe. =)
Blinged out Nails--picture from Lyndar the Merciless (Found on Pinterest)
These are just so pretty! I saw a girl with nails like these last week when I was getting my hair done and after seeing them in real life I'm now ALMOST tempted to try it myself...even though I hardly ever paint my nails!
Chiseled Wedges
Oh my, these are pure eye candy! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Perhaps they'll go on sale in a few months in time for my birthday?? Perhaps.
Archer Farms Organic Raspberry Real Fruit Strips (Found at Target)
My friend Amy was in town visiting last month and she got me hooked on these. They are soooo good and are actually kind of good for you! They come in many flavors, but Raspberry is my favorite.
Project Runway-Season 9
It hasn't quite started yet but I'm including it on my list because I can't wait for season 9 to start!!! It was either this or list "The Bachelorette" as my summer TV go-to.(PS--where was the new "Bachelorette" episode last week---annoying!). Tune in July 28th to watch the new contestants "Make it Work" on Lifetime!
What have you found or loving right now that I must know about??? Do tell!
Stroke of Midnight Dress
This lovely dress screams "Anthro" to me! This may or may not be on it's way to me (and I may or may not have even got it for 30% off with the code "PEOPLE"--which gives you 30% off all dresses and skirts through July 21st). Maybe. =)
