Check out my new trinkets 
These “Cara Rhinestone Bracelets” by Madewell come in a handful of gorgeous jewel tones and are perfect to mix and match as well as stack! I selected a pair in brilliant cobalt and crushed coral (aka blue and orange…my fave combo!) and they will be adorning my wrists at the upcoming Denver Broncos game I will be cheering at in a few weeks *woot* They are made of brass, glass, and acrylic and can be found here: http://www.madewell.com/newarrivals/jewelry/PRDOVR~22065/99102973856/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~0~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~bracelet/22065.jsp

Orange you glad :) OTD!
13 NovSoooo I’ve decided that it’s time to post my first ever Outfit of the Day! It was gorgeous outside this afternoon with blue skies, plenty of sunshine, and crisp fall air (not so crazy about that last one!) so I figured it would be a good day to goof off with the camera and show off a simple fall outfit. The sweater, leggings, and booties ensemble is definitely something I rock constantly (changing out the pieces of course) because it’s comfortable, weather appropriate, and super freakin’ cute What do you think? Any feedback/suggestions are welcome!

Music: The Joy Formidable
12 NovThe Joy Formidable put on an intimate show over the weekend at St. Stephen’s Church in Washington, DC which I reviewed for dont blink media. As always, they didn’t fail to impress, and gave an amazing performance worthy of a recording studio! Check the link below for my review of the show and a peek at some of the photos we snapped

Music: Meet dont blink media
1 NovAlthough music has always been a passion of mine, I have never been very good at the details. Analyzing, remembering names/titles, not my strong point! Luckily, the bf is just as into music as I am and makes up for what I lack by being detailed. Together, we run a music review website from which I will be posting my favorite articles from. The website, http://www.dontblinkmedia.com, features show, album, and video reviews as well as the latest music news. We have writers from coast to coast in the U.S. and are looking to expand internationally as well! This week’s show review is of Molly Nilsson’s show at La Cita Bar in Los Angeles, CA. Read up!

Fall and Halloween Shenanigans!
29 OctThe end of October is here and it’s downright chilly out 
Our weekend was full of Halloween activities and costumes galore. Sara (Kevin’s daughter), got all dolled up as a leopard for our trip to the Good Knight Castle, where we fought monsters with our water guns to save Snow White! Next came the Zombie Walk in town. Sara, Kevin, and I showed up as a zombie family with Sara’s mouth slit to the side, Kevin’s eye socket exposed, and me with a slash down my face. Makeup was tedious, but the outcome was pretty creepy bwahaha. After the Halloween festivities were done, we decided on some regular all American fall fun. We frolicked in the park, threw the football around, and chased Tank (the teacup chihuahua) around. Oh, and we represented our football team too…GO BRONCOS!!!

Lucky Jeans: Sienna Cigarette
28 OctI have never owned a pair of Lucky Brand Jeans that I was disappointed in. They always fit well, are super comfy, and of course, gorgeous! My new pair of Sienna Cigarette’s is no exception and I was so excited when they came in that I forgot how to open a box.
Straight and skinny jeans have always fit a little too tight on my not so skinny legs, so I was super excited the first time I found these jeans and tried them on. The straight cut isn’t too tight and has an almost boyfriend jean feel to it, with the bottoms tapering to a rolled cuff (which can be unrolled). They measure 29″ unrolled, and are perfect for my petite frame! I got them in the “Dark Paley” wash which are hand sanded, slightly stretchy, and are super super soft. And of course the signature “Lucky You” label is in the four button fly
They’re definitely exactly what I was looking for and are amaaaazing! What do you think?

Learning something new…
25 OctHello hello Welcome to my first ever blog, and attempt at learning how to develop a webpage! My name is Charisse “Reesy” and I work in neither writing nor web development. In real life, I am an emergency technician who (dun da da dun!) saves lives every day…sike. Really, I am an ED tech, but the “saving lives every day” is questionable…only on some days 
I decided to start this project because I have a burning need to share my passions: fashion, music, traveling, my mini chihuahua “Tank” and my family. My mentor and partner in crime is Kevin, my boyfriend, who has somehow patiently taught me how to start and purty up my blog! Thanks to him, you can look forward to the random “pieces” that are my life Til next time…
My loves!
