Zig Zag Maxi

Skirt Karen Kane c/o / sandals Skemo (similar) / tank Target / White blouse Ann Taylor / Jean Jacket Harold's (old) / Watch ToyWatch / Bracelets Rustic Cuff c/o /  Necklace and ring  personal collection / Sunnies Chanel / Polish Essie Mint Candy Apple

One skirt, Two looks!  I absolutely am in love with my new Karen Kane maxi skirt! It is so comfortable and flattering!  It is lined to the knees which makes it super easy to move in! With three different blues to chose from, it was easy to coordinate with!

 I have mentioned before my office has a no denim policy.  So this fun outfit has two looks!  One for the office, and one for running around!  My favorite of course is with the denim!  I found a perfectly matching blue tank at Target, and all my turquoise accessories pulled it together!  I added a pop of gold on my feet with my sandals.  I have owned these sandals for almost 5 years and always receive compliments on them every single time I wear them!  I would love to get a new pair exactly the same to replace these but cannot find them anywhere!  I may just have to replace them with a pair of gold Jacks!

Happy Monday!  I am so glad to be back!  It was a rough week last week being sick, and I am still not 100%, but I am getting there! 

Life Lately

May 17, 2013
Celebration





So you may have noticed my absence this week. I started getting sick last weekend, and have been sick all week.  I have not felt like doing much of anything but feeling better, and working on my computer with a raging headache, and a miserable cough was not on my list of things to do.  I went to the doc and he put me on some antibiotics and some killer cough syrup, but it is still slow going for the mend! 

I purposely did not post a feature today for one very good reason.  You, and the feature, deserve my full attention when I post it and I would have felt like it was not my better work.  I hope you're not to disappointed!  I just moved it back a week, and next week it will be awesome!  I promise!!

So life lately has been overall good.  I finished my pillows for my den/office, and although I picked out the fabric for the window treatment, I hated it once I started and STILL do not have a window treatment.  I may just go ahead and reveal the room as is for now and maybe let you all suggest what I should do!?  I received this beautiful candy cane looking rose bush for Mother's day and it smells so good!  We planted it in a new flower bed on the side of the house so I can see it every time I come home!  I added these flats to my closet in nude and wait for it.... neon pink with leopard and can't wait to style them and share with you!

There are two of the cutest little girls that live directly across the street from me and the BF and I have adopted them sorta like our surrogate grand daughters!  You know, we get to draw in the driveway with chalk, chase them, find frogs at dusk with them, and overall enjoy their giggles and squeal.... that is until meltdown time! As much as I always wanted girls, I still stand by the fact that boys are easier!  They both had birthdays this past month and we celebrated in the only way a 4 year old knows how!  With pink cupcakes, Minnie Mouse, and lots of princess stuff.

Fresh flowers always brighten the day, and I am so glad to see the variety grow as more come into bloom.  And that last little diddy of a pic, is my current situation, meds, syrup, and cough drops. Here is hoping for a great weekend of recovery!  I am looking forward to be back to normal next week, if there is such a thing!

What are you doing this weekend? 

Four favorites // Girly things

May 15, 2013
Celebration






Happy Wednesday!  It feels good to be back blogging, but I have to admit, I am still pretty sick. I cannot seem to shake this.  It sucks feeling bad,  and not to mention the weather finally turned pretty! I am going to the doctor today to find out if in fact this is allergies, a cold, or far worse a sinus infection.  I'm so over the cough!!! 

On a pretty note....  I especially love this weeks four favorites because it is all so pretty and girly!  I have been looking for a few new maxi dress for summer and when I saw this Lilly dress I fell in love.  I'm not sure I can get enough use out of it compared to the price point, but I sure would try!  

Bows are everywhere it seems, and why not on your feet!  These little flats would be super cute for throwing on with a simple outfit to add just the right amount of sprucing up without having to change your entire outfit! I can see these with a cute little pair of denim jeans, a bright pop of color top, and a stack of bracelets! 

Ok, lets be honest here shall we?  This cake stand is absolutely gorgeous.  I loved it the moment I saw it.  I love how unique it is and what a conversation piece.  I would use this gorgeous stand for everything possible when entertaining.  Why limit it to just cakes, and sweets?  Now I just need to justify it! 

I said a while back, and I stand by it, I am not a big statement necklace person.  Probably because I am busty and statement necklaces tend to lay funny, and add even more to the neckline that generally isn't required!! But when I find a necklace that is bold in statement, and short enough to lay on the neck and collar bones, it definitely  grabs my attention!  I love the colors and the slight Egyptian feel this necklace has!  I would for sure wear this statement!  

So, what is your favorite this week? 




If your new this week, welcome! So glad your here!  Don't forget to see the other four favorites by following the link! 

A little under the weather

Family
So it started Saturday afternoon, and by Sunday Morning I was truly in denial that I was sick.  At 4:30 I was popping advil and cold medicine to just stay ahead of the aches and sore throat.   Two days in bed on some of the prettiest days we have had yet, and it is killing me.  

I hope to be back on my feet and feeling better soon!
