Peridot Skies: J Crew

The Perfect Chambray Shirt

June 10, 2016

Happy Friday! I love exploring the city and when we stumbled across this wall we were giddy with excitement! If there is one thing I am jealous of California, it's all the fabulous painted walls and murals their city has to offer. I am tempted to DIY a pink wall for myself and store it in the garage. I could only imagine how that conversation would go with Joe..... something like " it's a prop wall, and no you may not throw it away" and "yes I am keeping it". Ha ha. I have to watch him or he will clean out the garage of projects I am, well we will call it "contemplating" to do! I will let you know if I paint a faux wall pink!

So let's discuss my outfit. My Talbot's Chambray shirt was a smart purchase this spring. You definitely need one of these as a versatile item. My Loft shorts I purchased last year for my trip to Laguna Beach and they have another great selection of shorts this season. I always love mixing turquoise with chambray. Something about it feels so southwest to me. My Gucci bag is vintage, as in from the early 80's vintage! I was a smart girl knowing what to hang onto from those days. I receive a lot of compliments on these cross strap sandals. Mine are last season from J Crew, but they are available this year from Old Navy and I linked to them below! Hope you have a relaxing weekend and enjoy some sunshine! I know I will!

Wrapping up the Week

April 29, 2016

Colors

It's been a heck of a week and I am happy it's Friday! Too much drama and petty behavior for me in one week. I'm putting it all behind me and looking forward to a relaxing weekend. #goodenergy

I'm happy for these gorgeous Rananculous that have graced my counter this week. Best investment for floral arrangements ever was taking a Bloom Academy Class. If you follow me on snap, (find me here > lisa.murie) then you saw where my peonies bush in my backyard is bursting with blooms about to open. I can't wait for those beauties to grace my counter soon.

I am looking at dates to visit my bestie in Florida and I think this is a must for my vacation.

Spotted, or rather checked.... haha, these gingham flats, right now 30% off with code SCORE and by combining gingham and leather it makes for the perfect flat, but if lace ups more your style then these are perfect and on sale too 30% off with code SCORE!!

I may have found the perfect off the shoulder striped top here. Being on sale doesn't hurt either!

Have a great weekend my friends, and I will see you back here next week!

Fall Finds

August 31, 2015

Colors

Can you believe we are at the last few days of August? With fall on our heels I decided to do a little fall shopping. I made some great new purchases for fall over the weekend but I didn't pick up everything I wanted. These things caught my eye and I definitely have them on my list. I am really craving moss green this season and this tunic would make a perfect addition. I actually had this polka dot vest in my hands to try on and got side tracked and ended up picking up three sweaters on sale. Do I even need to explain the need for these leopard booties? Nuf said. I started looking at new handbags when I was in California and haven't made any decisions yet, but when I saw this Chloe tote I really fell in love with it. My only hold up is I love the blush but this blue is a great fall color. What would you do? Are you ready for fall? What is on your list to purchase?

Traveling The Pacific Coast Highway

July 28, 2015

Beach

My first full day in California we decided to hit up the beach, then take a drive up the Pacific Coast Highway. Also know as Highway 1 this major North South highway runs along most of the pacific coastline of California. Know for its scenic views of the ocean; it is popular amongst tourist. (That was me.) We headed up to Newport Beach to do a little shopping at Fashion Island and dinner at Fig & Olive.

I have heard great things about this restaurant and was excited when my niece who works for the management company made VIP reservations for us. We arrived a little early and snapped a few outfit picks before heading in. We had a wonderful table with a view of the entire restaurant. My seat was a semi circle booth with throw pillows as my cushions. Pretty cool. I ordered the Zucchini blossom and goat cheese ravioli, and the presentation was fabulous.

As we waited for our dinner to arrive we were treated to an olive oil tasting. Each meal begins with a taste of three distinct extra virgin olive oils. Served with the restaurant's freshly baked Rosemary olive oil fougasse bread we delighted in the sampling. My favorite was the Fig and Olive Arbosana which was sweet, fruity and creamy. They have an entire website dedicated to their oils and you can purchase them here.

How to style a maxi dress 3 ways

June 03, 2015

bags

Getting the most wear out a maxi dress can sometimes be difficult. Today I am sharing with you how with a quick change up of a few things you can maximize your maxi!

Let me just start by saying this is a strapless dress too. First up is the casual... running errands, day look. So maybe you have a list of things to do and comfort is on the top of the list. I rolled up the ends and sleeves to my chambray shirt, added my GiGi NY Madison cross body, and slipped into my converse. Casual, comfy, and hands free!

For the second look, Let's imagine I have a tan for starters.... Ok but seriously, this is a casual look for an afternoon with your girlfriends, or a day date with your guy!

For the last look, I dressed this look up by adding a leopard cardigan, a statement necklace, and slid on these fun mules. I took off the removable strap from my Blair Ritchey PAK to use it as a clutch. Presto... chango!

Look one: Dress (Similar on sale) ~ Chambray top ~ converse ~ Cross Body bag ~ Cuff ~ Watch ~ Leather bracelet c/o ~

Look Two: Dress(Similar on sale) ~ cardigan ~ necklace and Earrings ~ Sandals ~ Bag ~ Leather bracelet c/o~ Watch ~

Four Favorites

February 19, 2014

Colors

1 2 3 4

To be honest… I am surprised I don't own a pair of pink pumps! I must change that! These beauties all caught my eye and while I am loving the bright bold pink suede, the bubblegum pink J Crews are soooo pretty! There are times the weather doesn't cooperate with suede pumps and that is where this pretty Kate Spade in a iridescent finish that plays with the light would be a perfect pink pump.

I may just have to own the bubblegum pinks and these bright bold pink pumps by Ivanka Trump...a great price on sale right now!! The Guess pump with the cut out sides in clear plastic have a lot of sex appeal too.

So.. which pump is your favorite? I am ready to add this to my closet!

Don't forget today I am linking up with the girls and you should see their favorites too!
