Happy Wednesday... and Happy October!!  This week I am loving the feel of fall.  The evenings are beginning to get cool, and the nights are dipping lower.  With all the cooler temps and the leaves beginning to change colors it has me dreaming of sweaters and scarves!  I love this longer boyfriend cardigan (or grampa sweater as some people call them) because they layer so well with leggings and skinny jeans... and the pink sleeves?? well hello johnny!!!  This has got to find a way in my closet.  This chunky cable sweater looks exactly like what I am after although the cowl neck may be a bit bulky, so it will have to be tried on before I can say for sure its for me, but cute anyway huh?  Buffalo plaid anything is a must!  

My scarf collection keeps growing and that's okay with me.  Don't you find it is the easiest way to take an ordinary tee, blazer, or sweater and dress it up?  Sometimes when I throw an outfit together and it's just missing that pow, I dig thru my scarves first to see what will go!  Generally that is all I needed! For over a year now I have been silently admiring Daniel Wellington watches.  I admit, I loved the way they looked on a girls arm, but did not think I would wear one.  Sure enough, I now love how it looks after seeing so many on girls and want one of these... or both!!  Would you wear one?  Or do you think its too manly?  This gold rimmed bowl is too pretty to pass up, even if I don't know what I would do with it yet!   I have mentioned before here how to transition your makeup from summer to fall and adding  tinted moisturizer is also a great transitional beauty product.  Adding  moisture to your face as well as a little bit if color is what makes this so good!  

What are your favorites right now?  Leave me a comment, I would love to hear them!

Happy Wednesday!  It's already hump day and that means I am sharing my weekly favorites today! Lets get right to it shall we? OK!!  I am loving tassel right now and these earrings are great.  Long and colorful, they would for sure dress up any outfit.  So... there is no need to go into great length to discuss these leopard slip ons other than I want them!  I mean seriously how cute are they? 

 I am a sucker for almost anything pink I love cuffs so when the two collide its even better.  This cuff is for sure a great piece for fall.   My love and hunt for a great cross body for me is still alive and active and this ostrich one is a top pick for me.  Keep a look out for a full post on this fabulous bag designer too very soon!! Last but surely not least.... fall means dark toes for me and I cannot wait!  What are you most looking forward to now that fall is here? Don't tell me the pumpkin spiced latte... it made its comeback early this year I heard!!

This weeks favorites is an eclectic assortment of sorts, but favorites for sure!   I recently ordered new business cards and this metallic card case would be perfect for them in my bag.  While we are on the subject of bags... can we stop and just love this cross body?  I love it, and as you know I have been searching for a great cross body that is versatile but still super stylish!  Love this and it comes in several colors too!  

I know by now you have seen this tee around... And for some of you I'm sure its a true statement.    This is a graphic tee I would definitely put on to run errands on a weekend looking super cute but a little bit sassy too! !  Love it!  This charm bracelet reminds me of one my mother wears.  It has always been a favorite of mine when she wears it... even though I am sure it must be heavy, not to mention, you are not at all quiet with it on either.  I definitely have this in my want list and every time I wear it i will think of my mom!  Now I know several of you have starting thinking of fall, and there is a piece of me that is a teensy bit ready too.  I love slip on shoes, and my favorites are mules.  These take the cake!  Absolutely love the detailing in gold on them and could get in the mood for fall at lot faster in these babies!  Happy Wednesday!

Maya-Brenner-Necklace-Alex-Ani-bracelet



Happy Wednesday friends!  I am sharing this weeks favorites hot on the heels of my birthday list!  I bet your asking how these didn't make the list aren't you?  Well... I couldn't make the list too big now could I ?! Some favorites that caught my eye are these 
Alex and Ani bracelets.  I have seen a few friends wearing them and love them.  I want a stack of about three to add to my bracelet collection and what better than my initial.  You can't go wrong there! I also love this, and this for my stack!  Speaking of initials...  Maya Brenner  jewelry is such a dainty option and I love the triple initial necklace.  I would have my three boys initials of course.  This is a perfect  Option  as well.   The new Kate Spade Agenda for 2015 has been released and I love the green.  It is not easy to switch up from the polka dots in gold but hey... every girl needs a little switch up every now and then right? 



With my gallery wall finally in place in my office I am ready to start taking photographs and share my work space with you.  I have the perfect spot in my office for this Boll and Branch cable throw to curl up with on fall nights. Doesn't is just look cozy?    Now I know you have seen the pineapple love this year all over the place, but tell me... how stinkin cute are these Hattan Home jars? Seriously?  I love them.  No favorites would be complete without sandals or pink... or better yet both!  These  Loeffler Randall Sandals are screaming summer fun!  


So what are some of your favorites right now?  Share with me what's going on in your world today!!

Celebration



I love Independence day! Not only because of what it stands for, and the fact that its a day off from work, but because there is something that just feels good to wear your countries colors proudly!  It's not every day you can sport a flag tee, tank, or scarf and not feel a wee bit out of place unless it's celebrating the 4th! 

  My Bestie and I will be hanging out at the pool, taking in a few good restaurants and overall enjoying some quality girl time!  I'm positive we will laugh our pants off the entire long weekend!  What are your plans?  Headed to the lake? Or maybe staying in town and catch the local fireworks display?  Let me know what you're up to!

Happy Wednesday!  Todays four favorites are what I am loving right now.  Longer necklaces have been a favorite for a while and Bauble Bar has some "need to have" styles that I would love to purchase.  This set is beautiful and comes in several colors too.   I was out shopping last night for cute summer dresses.  Something easy and flowy, but with a little umph!  This shift dress is exactly what I was looking for.  Love the snake print too!   Ok… so this straw bag is too cute.  And those pom poms? Yes please!  Last on the list of favorites this week are these gold sandals.  Gold sandals are everywhere this season and what's not to love with a little ankle strap!?

June Favorites

Oh Hello Wednesday… so happy to see you!  It's hump day peeps, lets get excited!  Today's favorites are what I like about June.  A great bag to carry to the pool is always fun and the brighter the better.  It has to be colorful and deep enough to hold plenty of water, towels and lotion!  This one is perfect, and the great thing is it can also be a great running errands bag!   And speaking of running errands I love to throw on a maxi and go.  It is effortless and makes you look polished even if you did forget makeup!!!  

I recently purchased a pair of cutoff jean shorts. I love how versatile they can look depending on what you pair them with.  Throw them on over you swim suit… put on a pair of wedges and a tank with a few long layering necklaces, or a tee and flip flops… however you style them they always work!  You need to add a pair to your summer line up for sure.  And don't go too tattered and torn with them, I know that's the style for some ages, but too much distress and they are difficult to dress up!  I have posted about espadrilles a few times and how I love them.  These beauties are lace espadrilles so that makes them a double score for the win!  So feminine and pretty in the white.  Don't you love them?   

So what are your June favorites?  I want to know what you are looking forward to this month!

Happy Wednesday friends!  I was missing yesterday but I'm back today with my four favorites.  A couple of colorful things have caught my eye and this maxi dress is one of them.  I love love love the colors in it and the design would be so slimming.  Speaking of slimming…. pools are open and than means cute bikinis!  This darling terry bag would be perfect to keep in you beach bag to contain your wet suit for a) the drive home so you don't have to sit on a towel, or b) you are headed out for a while and don't want to be wet all day in your suit.  Love all the colors to choose from too.   

How many times have you sucked pulp thru your straw from fruit in your water? I know I have and the first thing you want to do is spit!  Ummmm….. hello? That's not so lady like!!  This Citric Zinger  allows you to press lemons, limes, and even clementines directly into your water.  An all natural free of sugar drink .  Pretty cool huh?   

Ok…. This wedge is fab…u…lous!!!  Nuff said. 

 Oh, and I am glad to be back!  I missed you after the long weekend! Don't forget I am linking up today here, here, and here!

Maxi and Gladiator Sandals

One minute the sun is out and you're looking cute, the next minute the sky turns grey and it's a spring thunderstorm.  It was pouring down rain before I could get back to the car and I was soaked in my new Karen Kane maxi and sandals.  We laughed at the adventure to the afternoon and that is what memories are made of.  My son is always so patient and has a good eye for photography that he now spots locations for pictures on his own.  Gotta love that!  It is maxi dress season and I had to have this Karen Kane dress.  I featured it in my four favorites here and so many of you loved it too!  It is a deep navy and cream and I think it has potential for a great Memorial day picnic!  What do you think of my gladiator sandals?  I opted for the shorter version only hitting mid calf rather than the knee high.  I love them so much I may go back for the brown too!

Color Crush

April 30, 2014

Happy Wednesday!  So glad the week is half over.  I am ready for a pretty weekend!  If you haven't noticed lately… I have a crush, and it's with blues!!!  I never would have thought a year ago I would have incorporated so much blue into my wardrobe but I have.   With spring finally her it's maxi dress season and this Maxi  is fabulous.  I am in love with the tie dye and that slit? Wow!! 

 I have been looking for the perfect size cross body.  One that will hold just enough essentials but not weigh you down or be bulky. This  Cross body is perfect for weekend errands, or maybe a trip to the farmers market or zoo.  I don't like to carry my big bag when it gets warmer out.  It is to much to keep up with when you're out with the kiddos too.  Speaking of out with the kiddos… we are planning a trip to the zoo soon and I always… I mean always wear sandals in the summer but sometimes things call for better protection for your feet.  These Chucks  have been on my radar and I am ready to get them.  I remember all three of my boys having high top chucks when they were little. Man those were hard to get little feet into, but they were cool!  I can't decide between white or these fun blue.  Which do you think I should get?    Bringing up the rear of my blue crush is of course a piece of jewelry.  This statement Necklace is not too blingy and I could definitely get a lot of use out of it.  So what color are you crushing for this spring?  

 Linking up my four favorites today, you should too!
