Happy Wednesday!  Can you believe it is already the middle of May?  This year is flying by!  Today's favorites are a true representation of what spring is all about.  Open toed sandals, pretty dresses, flowers, and colorful clutches!  I Have a shelf in my closet full of clutches but nothing bright.  I have to change that stat!!  OK lets talk about this bud vase… so whimsical and fun and perfect for flowers from the yard!  I am SO ready for cute summer dresses. This Lilly dress is perfect for a girls brunch and add a light cardigan and it is perfect for a day of errands.  I love so many flat sandals right now that I might have a new pair for every day of the week!!

Stripes and Floral

Ann Taylor
When I first bought these Ann Taylor floral pants I really did not anticipate these being on any amount of rotation.  They are indeed a statement pair of pants!  Bright and colorful!  What I love about them is the slightest amount of stretch to them, and how many ways I really can style them.  Look back at how I have worn them here, here, and here!!!  Don't you just love when something turns out to be so versatile, making it a great investment!?Most of the time you can get 40% off at Ann Taylor too!  Win/Win!!  Trying a few new hair styles,  I wore my hair up today with a braid up the back of my bun... I wished we had gotten better photos, but I will braid it again and share!

arm party
Happy Monday!   Hope you had a fabulous Mother's Day.  My weekend was wonderful with all my boys home and a trip to the zoo with the grandbabies!  I am a little tired this morning from all the walking we did (it must have been 10 miles) but I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day with my family. 

So...What do you get when a group of blogger get to gather for lunch? Cute outfits and outfit pics.    After a great lunch and some laughs last week we stopped out on the sidewalk for a few quick pics and a few photo bombs!! Yes you read that right… photo bombs.
  

Of course what else would a group of friends do but photo bomb each other.  There was no way I wasn't sharing this pic even if my eyes are closed!  It just goes to show you what kind of shenanigans happens right outside of the camera lens sometimes! Ha! Ok, but seriously I put this outfit together after I picked up this bright green sweater and have always loved blue and green together.  For an added pop of color my new Sisco Berlutti stack of bracelets was a perfect accessory. I don't know what to credit for my addition of so much color to my wardrobe.  I know there was too much black and gray just a few years ago and now its a color explosion!  It feels good too.  Do you ever feel like your in a color rut too?  It is way too easy to pick up something black or gray because we consider it a neutral, but to me it's so boring now.  I am always looking to add a pop of color or something bright!  Thanks Erin for taking these pics of Emily and me!

Mother's Day Weekend

May 09, 2014
Family
Happy Friday friends! I hope you all have wonderful Mother's Day plans either for yourself or with your special momma!  My oldest son still calls me momma while my other two boys call me mom, or when they are frustrated I will hear "Mother"!???? I just think  it is cute to here "momma" out of my 26 year old son's mouth!  He's still my baby! All my boys will be home this weekend with their families for a hopefully sunny weekend.  The boys have plans to go to NASCAR while the girls have plans to shop!!!  Sounds like a win for me!  I am looking forward to planting a few things in my yard, watching all the boys play, and spending some quality time with my family.  I might even get a little color on the old shoulders too on Sunday!  We plan on going to the zoo for Mother's Day! Have a great weekend and I will see you Monday with a fun outfit!

 
I want to make this for summer. The perfect beach accessory!

Loving this wedge.

This necklace needs to become a staple for me this summer.

 Thinking I might  need a pair of these!

 I decided I needed a pair of these only to find out when I tried them on I was needing a half size... and they only come whole sizes.  So instead... I will be getting these!  No surprise there I'm sure!
