Yeah...I Really Own That: Ariel from Auteur Ariel

It's been awhile since I've featured an awesome fellow blogger on my Yeah...I Really Own that feature, but we're back, and I'm so excited about today's leading lady! I've been following Ariel, of Auteur Ariel since the beginning. I remember finding her on instagram and immediately becoming obsessed with her style. She has the perfect mix of laid back cool with a side of girly and I LOVE it. She's definitely one blogger I keep up on, as she always inspires me to mix and match in my wardrobe as her outfits are always ALWAYS on point! To top it off, Ariel is gorgeous and wonderfully sweet...just reading her blog and watching her youtube videos makes you feel like she could be your real life bff. Oh, and she is a new puppy mama to the CUTEST puppy you've ever seen! Head on over to Ariel's blog to check out her amazing style and meet her sweet puppy, but first...

I am so excited to introduce you to this stunning, sweet lady and my May 2014 Yeah...I Really Own that guest blogger...

Ariel of Auteur Ariel

Hey there I'm Ariel and I blog over at Auteur Ariel! I was so stoked when Ashley asked me to contribute to this series on her blog! Twenties Girl Style is one of the first blogs I started following when I began blogging a little over a year ago and I've been a huge fan of her blog and this series since. So you can obviously tell my excitement when I got an email from Ashley asking me to guest post! It's really an honor when someone you admire acknowledges you & your work. So, thanks Ashley!!!

Anyway, on to my "Yeah...I really own that" piece. Believe it or not I graduated from college with a degree in Film--it's a big passion of mine but I don't often get to practice it that often so a lot of people don't know I'm an undercover film geek. I love everything from comedies to documentaries but a favorite category of mine is classics--and what better classic is there than Star Wars?? So when I saw this "Boombox Stormtrooper"Tee at Forever 21, I couldn't resist buying it because it was just too perfect. My husband thinks its a little silly whenever I wear it out but I shamelessly love it. I've worn it to the gym, out to eat, and even dressed it up and featured it on my blog a while back (see that post HERE). For this outfit I gave it an edgy look with the skater shoes and spiked necklace--I was feeling nostalgic of my high school years when I thought I was Avril Lavigne... What can I say? This tee displays my hidden love for a classic 70s Sci-Fi flick. Soooo yeah, I really own that.

Hey guys! Sorry I've been MIA lately! Life has caught up with me and both of my photographers (it's wedding season!), so finding time to shoot my daily outfits that works for both of us has been tricky. Hopefully it will now be smooth sailing through the rest of summer though! Back to our regular programming!

By now, you know my love for SOLOW gear! I've raved about it here and here...and here we go again! As mentioned previously, I adore how easy SOLOW pieces are to mix and match! I also love how easy they transition from street to gym!

These moto leggings are my FAVORITE. They are so comfortable and SO cute! I've been able to wear these a million ways and love the unique design that brings such a cool touch! They are my favorite leggings ever to dress up and wear out or to wear to the gym! I'm also a huge fan of the rib racerback midi top! I have this in two colors and love that it's totally on trend as a crop top and also love that it gives a little more coverage than your average sports bra!

Don't have time to fully change after working out? See how easily this outfit transitions, by throwing a tee over the midi sports bra, changing up the shoes, and a camo jacket to top it off. SOLOW killin it again with the perfect street to gym apparel!

Oops! These pictures are from Easter, almost a month ago, and I totally spaced on sharing them with you! 

My Easter was pretty relaxing, church and a family get together, so I wanted to dress cute but comfortable. There is nothing more classic than a maxi dress and jean jacket combo! It's definitely my go to this time of year! I kept my jewelry pretty classic too, just a bracelet and a pretty statement necklace that added a touch of color to my outfit.

My favorite part of the day besides celebrating Jesus? Spending it with my cutie BF. I sure do adore this boy and am so lucky to have had him in my life for the past 7 years....crazy right?? Anyways, I'm not sure he knew he would be making an appearance on TGS, but really, how cute is he??

Shop the look!
