THE PEAKS...and the pits.

THE PEAKS...
Are you ready...
...for some football? Here's to cheering on my little brother at his football games! Can't believe he is on varsity already. - Andrea
Unplanned Weekend-
1st weekend in several weeks where my schedule is clear to do what I want and I wouldn't want it any other way. Time for some me time! -Rebecca
 ...and the pits.
Sound the Alarm:
This one goes out to my guy, Alex, who hasn't grasped the concept of an alarm. If it goes on at 5am, just wake up and turn it off because I don't like to wake up at 5am. Ha! - Andrea
Try Again!
Buying a shirt in the wrong size then going to exchange it only to realize it's the wrong size again, back to the store for a 3rd time. Fun times! -Rebecca

Table Topics

Image via Table Topics
Ever have those moments where you run out of things to talk about when your with friends, family, co-workers or at any types of gatherings? Like all you hear are crickets sometimes. I know I've had a few of those moments here and there. It's not a bad thing or doesn't mean your boring, we all have moments where we just get in a different zone and need a little inspiration for topics. So a few weeks ago, out of nowhere I found this Table Topics Cube filled with cards each with a topic written one them. Some cards have topics such as "If you could redo any moment what would it be?" or "what would you rather have intelligence or common sense". It's not only fun to think of an answer but also hearing what others have to say. Table Topics also has other topics for Teens, Couples or for the Girls Night Out so check them out.

Fall Nails

With Fall fast approaching, not only is it time to start adjusting your wardrobe but I always think changing your nail polish color is a must with the changing season. I like to wear colors to blend with the season so for example for summer it's all about bright and bold colors for me. Now for fall and winter I like to bring the color tones down to more warm and darker colors. So with Fall coming soon, all the major nail polish companies are showcasing their new fall color collections. I'm seeing lots of jewel tones, metallic, dark goth colors and some special effect colors. I definitely already know which ones I'm going to wear. Check out the rest of the collections on Fashionista.

To Spend or to Save?

Hi everyone! Welcome back, I hope your weekend was fantastic. This weekend Rebecca and I changed up the blog a bit. We really liked the idea of having a plain blank canvas so that our posts are easily readable. What do you think? Let us know your thoughts. Now back to business :)

While surfing the Nordstrom website the other day, I came across this dress and remembered that I had seen something just like that at Target, this one. Yes, the Target version has short capped sleeves, but they are almost identical. This just proves you don't have to spend a lot of dough to look get the look you are going for. I think this dress is adorable and would be even cuter with a skinny belt added to the waist. Would you spend or save?

Andrea

On vacation...

Since school is almost back in session, Our Mismatched Life is taking a mini vacation this week. We figured since everyone else was squeezing in some last minute vacations before summer is over why shouldn't we take a break too. So while we enjoy some fun in the sun during our week of relaxation we hope you enjoy reading our past blogs. We will be back refreshed on Monday! Hope you all enjoy the rest of the week.

THE PEAKS...and the pits

THE PEAKS...
Staycation:
Excited to spend some time at a local hotel for the day. Nothing like pretending you are on a vacation :) - Andrea
Helping hand:
Having great friends around to give you a hand when you need it. -Rebecca

...and the pits.
Summer Blues:
Ummmm....excuse me but when did LA decide to pretend its Cancun?! Its way too hot to do anything outdoors. Well, not unless there is a pool present. - Andrea
All thumbs!:
Getting so distracted while closing my car door that I forgot to take my thumb with me and crushed it with the door! OUCH! A swollen and purple thumb is not a cute look. -Rebecca
