I'm a multi-tasker by nature, so of course I prefer items in my room to live accordingly. If something can dually serve as storage for my jewelry and can also contribute to decor, then WELCOME TO MY ROOM, CAKE STAND. </div>

Wayzata-native Alex Davis may have made it big (judging this by the fact that Jessica Alba is just ONE of the celebrities to frequently be seen wearing her shoe designs) but what I like most about this chick is she doesn't forget her roots. Every year she comes back to Wayzata to host a Cobra Society trunk show with friends and family. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I was lucky enough to talk to Alex for about five minutes at the trunk show and have never developed a girl crush so fast. Wearing leather leggings topped with her signature boot, a white blazer, and no makeup that I could see (she doesn't need ANY) this girl was just straight up <i>cool</i>. What was even more cool was how obviously passionate this girl is about what she does. As she was talking to us about individual designs and inspiration behind this collection she'd excitedly run over to grab each shoe so she could show us exactly what she was talking about. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Her collection is North Africa meets Morocco meets Santa Fe — probably because this girl has traveled EVERYWHERE; she's a serious nomad. Wanna peek at her worldly bad-ass designs? Here were a few of my favorites: </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Searching for good drugstore beauty products can be kind of overwhelming at times. Most time when I'm combing the aisles looking for a new eyeshadow or whatnot, it's kinda just the "uhhh, this one, I guess," game. SO, If I find something I like I'm obviously going to spread the good word. This lipstick is Maybelline's Coral Crush and it's only five buckaroos! Looks really cute against striped shirts, chambray, white, and khaki green — and it's WAY adorable on blondes and red heads too. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When my girls over at Styled With Strength asked for some fashion input for their swimsuit newsletter, I was all aboard, cuzzzz: 1. Any excuse to momentarily mentally transport myself from this hellish winter that feels like it is dragging on FOREVZ and 2. I'm more than happy to help these girls out in any way possible. If you haven't heard of Styled With Strength yet, you're probably about to. These ladies created a daily manifesto for bettering the mind, body, and soul. Every morning, around coffee brewing time (non-coincidence, I'm sure) an email arrives with some sort of empowering message, story or visual inspiration that really makes you want to be a better, well....everything — while at the same time making you feel completely normal for being completely imperfect. If you want to sign up for their "go get 'em, tiger" emails, just email styledwithstrength@gmail.com. You'll be glad you did. </div>

These are taken from one of the best books I've read in quite some time, Mindy Kaling's "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?" Seriously, this book is a blue ribbon winner. Sure she spills on hilarious details from The Office, but aside from that she makes you feel completely at ease with any insecurity or moment of awkwardness you've ever had in life and does so with the sort of humor only Kaling can conjure. She's totally on par with my Amy Poehler girl crush...she's THAT good.</div>

But this. THIS is key. Mindy writes how guys need to do pretty much nothing to be perfect, and she's so right. Guys, seriously, you have it so easy. Trust me when I say that all of us girls have thought at one point or another, "I could easily be the most flawless guy of all time." All you have to do is like, hold the door open and surprise us with a bottle of wine when you come over and you've pretty much got it down. Okay there's a few more things than that, so let me help a brotha out:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Buy a well fitting coat from J.Crew (editor's [me] note: or any peacoat. In black or dark charcoal.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Have a signature drink like James Bond. (Someone who knows their whiskeys is sexy.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Own several pairs of dark wash straight leg jeans. No skinnies, just a nice pair of Levi's.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Wait until all the women have gotten on or off the elevator before you get on or off the elevator. A re-written reiteration of this section: women aren't chivalry nuts, but small acts of kindness are visual and SUPER memorable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. When you think a girl looks pretty, say it. There isn't one woman in the whole entire world who doesn't like to be told she looks nice. It's three words, you can do it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. Don't ask if someone needs help in the kitchen or at a party, just start helping. This is sexy to every woman, I'm telling you right now. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. Have one great cologne that's not from the drugstore. (And my boyfriend can never wear Acqua di Gio because that's what my dad wears and even though it's super good smelling it's just....this can't work.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. Your girlfriend's siblings or parents might be totally nuts, but always defend them. This goes for us too, ladies. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9. <b><a href="http://www.kiehls.com/MEN/men,default,sc.html">Kiehl's</a></b> for your skin, <b><a href="http://www.bumbleandbumble.com/product/75/216/Products/Styling/Waxes/styling-wax/index.tmpl">Bumble and Bumble</a></b> for your hair. "Maybe a comb. That is all you need. And when girls look in your medicine cabinet (which they will obviously do in the first five minutes of coming to your place), you'll look all classily self-restrained because you'll only have two beauty products. You're basically a cowboy." </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
10. I really think guys only need two pair of shoes—a nice pair of black shoes and a pair of Chuck Taylors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
11. Bring wine or chocolate to everything. (I think Mindy's being a little exaggeratory here. What she means is important occasions and a surprise non-occasion every once in a blue moon.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
12. Get a little jealous every now and again, even if you're not strictly a jealous guy. "Too much and it's frightening, but a hand on her back at a party when your girlfriend looks super hot is awesome."</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you ever do the whole, "Welp, I didn't see enough people today NOT to wear this outfit again tomorrow,"? Totally did that this weekend. Based off my last few blog posts I'm admitting that I do this all too much. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This outfit was perfect for boppin' around town this weekend with my mama who came to visit me for a night. Moms are just the best, aren't they? We both like to shop, get coffee, and watch Bravo so pretty much nothing sucked this weekend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
P.S. Polka dot jeans (!!!!!)</div>

I have three fashiony things that I'm kind of dying over right now so here you go: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. THIS. COAT. FROM. JCREW. Just debuted at New York Fashion Week and as soon as I saw it, it was jewel-encrusted love at first sight. </div>

2. Speaking of J.Crew, they just debuted an in-store personal styling program called Very Personal Stylist, allowing you to tap and swipe through a series of styling tips while shopping. I'm tellin ya, bringing interactivity into the brick-and-mortar shopping experience is where the future's at, ya'll. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The glue is still drying on my first card this is so embarrassing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These will lit-ruh-lly take you 5 minutes, even if you're craft-challenged like moi. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All you will need is some card stock (I used super thin crappy paper because Target was all out of the good stuff), candles, matches (bonus if you can find red), and a V-Day color-appropriate felt tip pen. BAM! You look like the most thoughtful person who ever lived. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is actually my third day in a row wearing this shirt (LALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU SAYING "EWW") so let's discuss the functionality of said item. Sunday - with sweats (SEE, so versatile), yesterday - under blazer for work, and today - with polka dot skirt & bling (cheap-ass bling, but bling.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am not above selfies. Mostly because I don't have a boyfriend photographer to take outfit shots of me everyday (SHOUT OUT TO MUCH COOLER BLOGGERS!) so you're going to have to deal with iPhone shots in a dressing room. But I am DEFINITELY not above selfies for 'Midwest is Best' t-shirts because I am hometown proud, and home region proud, and mom proud because Kelly Welle sent me this for Valentine's Day — thanks, mama! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Want your own? Cool, they're available at <b><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/57289272/womens-midwest-is-best-tshirt-in-gray">this etsy shop</a></b>. (Gentleman, there are male sizes as well.)</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last April I happened upon this podcast called Creative Mornings. The first one I tuned into, the one I'm about to share with you, was a breath of fresh air and a kick in the pants all in one. I've watched it over and over, every time I feel like I need a little realistic inspiration, or to attempt to take life less seriously and enjoy "the god damned moment." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aaron Draplin is hilarious, inspiring, and utterly creative. Even just having this on in the background while you work today is well advised. Enjoy :)</div>

Bee is to honey what Liz is to polka dots so I'm not really sure how I don't own some sort of black and white dotted dress. This one in the two left pictures is from Madewell and i'm KICK-ING myself for not buying it when I had the chance. Here's to finding a look-alike and styling it as so. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is no greater show of my patience than the fact that I NEVER paint my nails. No. Sometimes I do, but it will either look like a five-year-old did it with their eyes closed, or I'll quit after one hand. Seriously, I'll walk around with one hand painted trying to pretend I just saw it in Vogue and it's the cool new thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

So! *Trumpet sound* Yesterday I used not one but TWO polishes which meant extra sitting time which meant this was something I had to document. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Super Bowl Sunday is pretty similar to Thanksgiving to me, and by that I mean calorie counting is against the law. However, I did want to give a few different varieties; just because you're being health conscious doesn't mean your food can't be yummy in my tummy (thought you're seriously missing out if you don't ever give that white pizza dip a try). </div>

Finally getting my NYC V-card taken. Thursday through Sunday I'm jetting to the Big Apple for a quick (but what will obviously be a supes fun) weekend. I know this is only long enough to take in a miniature fraction of all things New York has to offer but I'm excited to visit as many little shops and bakeries/eating joints as I can squeeze into a 72-hour period. (You guys I legitimately have a list of doughnut shops written down. This list is of utmost importance.)</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't normally touch on the same subject two blog posts in a row BUT, last night when I was <strike>avoiding homework</strike> browsing around Pinterest, I was looking for some Christmas gift ideas. Being the poor college student that I am, it's nice to find things under $100, but it's hard to know what's in your price range without clicking the link, which can get annoying after awhile. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
AHA. Lightbult. Create what doesn't exist. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, please enjoy my <b><a href="http://pinterest.com/lizwelle/under-100/">'Under $100' Pinterest board</a></b>, which I will continue to fill after the Christmas season. (Psst, many are under $50 and even $25!)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've started to notice a trend in some of the outfit photos <b><a href="http://pinterest.com/lizwelle">I've been pinning lately</a></b>. Oversized coats. As in exhibit A and B. They're the perfect amount of minimalist and can be QUITE adorable when paired with other feminine garments (left) or more tomboy elements (right). </div>

This fisherman's sweater? $39 from<b><a href="http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/74863?feat=503571-GN3&page=kids-fisherman-s-sweater"> L.L. Bean Boys</a></b>. The medium fits absolutely perfect. I also recommend checking out the boys section of J.Crew, Gap, and Zara for things like plaid, white button ups, even the perfect green anorak coat. You'll be surprised what you find. Plus, it's a helluva lot cheaper WHICH I DON'T HATE. </div>

Sorry for the random absence the last week and a half; I was superduper sick (hospital visit and all), but I'M ALIVE NOW! It's weird being sick for that long, I got sick on Halloween and today's my first day back to regular programming and it's already damn near the middle of November. CRIPES. Time flies, so let's have some fun — shopping style. (It's what I'm good at.)</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Isn't it the worst when Mondays are cloudy and cold? Yesterday was exactly that. It's hard not to subconsciously feel like it's setting the tone for the whole week. WELL. We're about to get allllll proactive in here about being happy. I firmly believe that planning things that you know make you happy, and sprinkling them throughout the week keeps your mood positive and constant; and looking forward to things is the best! And it's true, sometimes I really think scheduling "make cookies" into your schedule is a MUST.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcTFD5TJvzgBJLwco4jVUKRcLdRdzqUOryG0fiKKgqn7_QUmMmPlp0ih1Xw9r4fDyJUCFxRuqzIXJFz2FDgF-Zb1xG3T3cmuljcidoU66Ns-BsUNd-C0Xer-ZgrVLcNqnYbbWBPpeRbNga/s1600/janie+hearts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcTFD5TJvzgBJLwco4jVUKRcLdRdzqUOryG0fiKKgqn7_QUmMmPlp0ih1Xw9r4fDyJUCFxRuqzIXJFz2FDgF-Zb1xG3T3cmuljcidoU66Ns-BsUNd-C0Xer-ZgrVLcNqnYbbWBPpeRbNga/s1600/janie+hearts.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Make HOMEMADE whipped cream to put on your hot chocolate. It's so worth it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Remind someone you are grateful for how much they rock. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Take a nap. And don't feel guilty about it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Go with friends to a restaurant/coffee shop/boutique you've never been to.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Clean out your closet. While this doesn't sound like you're scheduling "fun", the result is so major. No one really knows why but we are all aware how much clearing clutter boosts happiness. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. Indulge in a Netflix session with a new show you've always wanted to watch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. Put on sequin anything. Even if you don't feel like it. It's all about placebo effect — and it WORKS.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. Actually take time to paint your nails. Clip, file, soak, base coat, two coats of a shade, AND a top coat. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9. Buy yourself an album on iTunes. Happiness doesn't mean THINGS, but we all know music has been proven to enhance moods. This is "worth it" spending. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
10. Sometimes happiness DOES mean things!!! Buy yourself that sweatshirt/notebook/pair of polka dot socks you couldn't justify before. I'm giving you the justification; HAPPY FACE.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
11. Wine with homework/bill paying/responding to emails. Just remember to spell check. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
12. Go to bed one hour earlier even if you're not done with all of your "stuff". Things CAN be done tomorrow.<br />
<br />
13. Make a <b><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/50384089552481927/">caramel apple bar</a></b>. Delicious genius is the best kind of genius. </div>
