Transitioning into Spring

April 11, 2016

Happy Monday!  How was your weekend?  I spent mine enjoying time at home and catching up.  It felt so good to get caught on and head into the week with a clean to do list.  Tuesday is The Blog Guild's Spring meet up and I am anxious to meet so many new members.  Speaking of spring, I wanted to share this spring sweater with you.  It's on sale right now and comes in a few colors too.  It is the perfect weight for transitioning into spring. I know we are always talking about seasonal transitioning and spring is here, but in all actuality we are headed into rainy season.  So we have about 30 more days before we will really be able to enjoy spring.  I will take the few fleeting days between the rainy days for now.  

Style Tip:  Add a long necklace when layered with a V neck to compliment the neckline.  I added my Shop Mad Jewels Stefi necklace and it is available in several color combinations. It is lightweight and so cute.  

Adding a few lightweight sweaters that are versatile enough to wear during the day with shorts then switch up to jeans in the cooler evenings will be a good addition to your wardrobe.  When fall roles around I will use these same transitional sweaters to transition into the cooler fall night.  You better grab them while they are on sale and pick up one in every color too!

How to Layer with Jo Malone Fragrances

April 07, 2016
I have worn Jo Malone for many years so when The Blog Guild and Nordstrom teamed up to teach us the art of layering you can bet I was thrilled.  If you have never experienced time at the Jo Malone counter you really need to stop and spend some time there.  The sales associates will guide you through the art of layering and what it really entails.  They show you how to blend your fragrances and learn the notes in each one so you find your very own signature scent.  I love that they are so rich and luxurious that you may wear each fragrance as a stand alone or layer one, two or even three fragrances at a time. 
My "signature scent"  Jo Malone favorites that I layer are Pomegranate Noir and Nectarine Blossom and Honey, and Grapefruit and Orange Blossom.  If you find a favorite.... be sure to stay in touch with your local Jo Malone counter as they retire fragrances on occasion and you may find yourself down to the last drops of a bottle and not be able to replace it.  It has happen to me and I heard last evening that they retired Vanilla Anise.  I will sparingly use the half bottle I still have now.

  So last night I explored the counter and may have found a new combination.... I will wear a sample of this combination to see how I like it throughout the day, but I can already tell I like these both as individual fragrances.  Do you have a favorite Jo Malone combination?  Share with me in the comments so I can try your favorite scent!  



Wednesday Wants Edition 4.1

April 06, 2016
As promised..... I am back with this weeks edition of Wednesday Wants.  I know it's heavy with shoes and pink, but what would you expect from me?  One of my favorites for spring is the arrival of all the pretty new sandals.  Pom pom and tassels are big again this year so if you haven't already added some to your wardrobe you might want to get right on that! I love these tassel earrings from Baublebar, and the Stefi tassel necklace I already own and cannot wait to share how I have been wearing it with a few outfits coming to the blog soon.   I don't need another keychain, but if I did this pretty pink tassel would for sure be what I would chose. 
 
 Let's talk about those rose gold shoes for a minute.... so pretty and shiny but I wonder if they scuff easily?  Does anyone own them already and know how comfortable they are?  Let me know what you think!  Tomorrow I will be sharing a recap of an event I am attending this evening and it is with my favorite fragrance!

Juggling Act

April 05, 2016





Okay, so here's the deal.  I have been so busy trying to juggle everything  that something was bound to drop and posting to my blog was it. There are so many things going on with The Blog Guild and spring events and behind the scenes things we are working on that I can't share yet.  Spring is such a busy time for me.  Work is crazy,  hopefully after today it will calm down.... and the weather finally turning nice has even had me working in the yard.  

Guys I feel bad for not posting the past few weeks regularly, but I have some pretty fun outfits I have been working on and will be sharing this weeks favorites with tomorrows regular Wednesdays Wants.   see ya back here tomorrow!
