Hello! 

Happy Monday!  I hope you are all well! 

Saturday I met up with my blogging bestie -yup you guessed it! Designer Diva! We hit Target for a little retail therapy and round three of our Target collaboration posts! 

What I love about our outings at Target is that it really is therapeutic. We meander around the store, going towards whatever catches out eye. The whole time we are chatting or venting about our weeks, with a few; 'oh this is cute' 'Oh I love the colors!' 'This would be perfect with those yellow heels!' and/or 'that really looks like you!' thrown in here and there. 

And Target NEVER disappoints! 

Target always gives me inspiration. From various different prints, to yellow pumps, to small cross body bags in teal AND orange -seriously I don't know which I love more!- to a distressed denim, and a throwback Britney Spears t-shirt -these are some of my favorite finds at Target! 

This title is both literal and figurative. 

Today has been a challenge with the random rain showers, granted I thought it would be a complete wash out. Thankfully it wasn't.

I LOVE the bag! This is one of my most favorite things. It was designed by my friend V31 Designs. You may remember it from the feature in the latest The Loop Mag feature. I got to know such an creative and incredible lady, and got a chance to write a piece about her. 

The rest of the look, if I'm being honest, was based on the weather. It has rained off and on all day, and I caught a break, so I scrambled to create a look I'd be proud to post. And I am. I realize it is an odd combination. I see the colors don't clash as well, but I love how the pictures came out. I tried something different. Maybe you will like, hopefully you will. 

This may not make sense, but hey, life doesn't always make sense! So I hope you enjoy this post! Please enjoy this lovely piece by my friend, V31 Designs! She is an incredibly lady, with an incredibly eye for design! I can't wait to see much more from her!

Thanks for reading!

Hello and Happy Monday! 

So, I am a bit late in posting this but the Michael Kors event was a huge success! There was wine, there was food from the amazing Danielle of Mac Jars! -HUGE hit! This time she also had Mac Jars of cheese cakes as well as mac and cheese! The store was prepared with glasses a plenty and displays that made you yearn! Stunning for sure! Several friends and co-workers showed up to the event as well as my friend and fellow beautiful blogger Aly - you can see her modeling a great pair of shades below! And of course it is never a dull time hanging with Designer Diva!  It was such a great evening full of food, drinks, friends, and fashion!

​I am looking forward to future events with Michael Kors in the future, stay tuned! 

TGIF!!! 

So, I'm not done with my favorite things! Today's post is one of my hands down, favorite combinations! The GAP skirt is so fun! 

I have had it for a few years now, and I love it still! I have a peplum top that is the exact opposite but I have paired them together before and loved it! 

Today's combination, I arguably love more. The rich blue of the tank top perfectly matches the stripes and the heels really anchor the look. The tan, Shein bag -which I hope you aren't sick of yet!- adds a beautiful and casual pop of color. 

Thank you so much for reading!

Hello and Happy Monday! 

In keeping in line with my favorite things theme, this skirt has been a staple piece in my closet for a while now! It is such a stand out piece, a power skirt if you will. 

And I have found many ways to pair it! From a bright pink top, to a graphic sweat shirt, to this crop top. I can't explain this pairing, it is different but I enjoy different. Why do everything just like everyone else? I just tried it on for the hell of it and ended up loving it! Actually most of my favorite looks happen that way. 

I always enjoy mixing prints or -in this case- mixing the same prints! Its hard to see but the top is comprised of much smaller stripes. 

Of course for a little pop of color and for a little bit of a casual feel, my bag from shein.com!

I hope you like this as much as I do! 

Thanks for reading!

Hello and TGIF! 

And I mean that so much! It has been a crazy week for me. Long and at times aggravating and honestly sometimes draining. BUT we have made it through and have the weekend to enjoy! 

When I do get frustrated I try to surround myself with things or people that I enjoy; friends, family, my fur babies, The Office, Frasier... you get the picture! 

In sticking with that theme, for today's post I incorporated some of my favorite pieces. First up; the shirt. I found this at a thrift shop and have loved it ever since! I have had it a for a few years now, and while I don't wear it as often as it deserves to be worn, it is a piece I can't bear to part with. I think because it so simple, but so sweet. You can't tell in the pictures, but the collar is adorned with pearls, which brings me so much joy! 

I paired it with shorts, which gives it a romper like feel, I think. Perfect for spring! (Although today did not really feel like a spring day.) But I really liked the way it looks together! 

My second favorite piece is the envelope clutch. I LOVE this bag! It is so effortless and chic! I have had it for several years now too. It always comes in handy, usually when I need it the most! It will certainly be sticking around for a long time! 

And finally, these super cute booties! My Aunt gave them too me when she visited a few months ago. I have to say, they are so cute and I have gotten so much wear out of them! I love them with this look because it gives it an edgier feel. 

So when you find yourself frustrated or upset, I highly recommend getting dressed up or binge watching your favorite show, or going out with your best friends -whatever brings you joy, go for it! Don't let anything get you down! 

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you have a great weekend! 

XOXO

April Fools!

Hello, and Happy Monday! 

I hope your weekend was as gorgeous as mine was! The weather could not have been better! It does seem as though spring has sprung! 

Today started out a bit cooler, however. It is still beautiful and still feels amazing, but I had to dress a little warmer. Light layers. 

I've said it once and I'll say it again, I LOVE flared jeans! There is something so sophisticated about it. I found this pair at Apricot Lane Boutique and have loved them! This is actually my second post styling them. Today I went for a look that plays with shades of blue and a touch of texture. The blouse is velvet -and you will probably see it again soon in a future post. I love the contrast between the dark and light blues. But I also love how classy this look feels. 

The blazer paired with flared jeans is classic! It can easily go from day to night. From brunch dates to girls night out or date nights, it works so well for it all! 

Thank you for reading!

Happy Friday! 

So this happened, by accident. But it was a happy accident! I LOVE it when that happens! I had a completely different idea in mind -which I may use on a future post so I won't spoil it!- and then as I went to put this outfit together, 

So, typically, I like pops of color. But every so often I find a theme and just go with it. Today, if you couldn't already tell, today's theme is stripes! 

As I mentioned, this came about by accident. I had a different idea in mind, although the outfit did include this shirt and shorts combo.But then my eyes fell upon my striped bag. Then it hit me. Why not go with stripe?! So, naturally I did! And I didn't just stop with the shirt and bag, I decided to fully commit and went with striped heals too! 

I mean, why not!? 

I hope you enjoy this! Thank you so much for reading!

Hello and Happy Monday! 

I'm pretty excited about this look that I'm sharing with you today. I LOVE these longer, pleated skirts. I particularly love this deep orange color. These skirts are so easy to style and fun to wear. 

Today's look was just a by-chance. Honestly I wasn't sure what to wear for this post. I just opened my closet and my eyes fell upon these two pieces. The rest I pieced together my mixing and matching. I think what I like about this is that it captures my personality. Fun, flirty, unique, colorful. and full of surprises!

The booties are extremely comfortable! My Aunt gave them to me on her last visit and I've loved them since! They are one of my favorite pair of shoes!

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you have a great week! =)

Hello all! Happy Friday. 

Today's post is dedicated to one of my favorite people. She was an incredible piano player and played for us often at work. It was such a joy to hear her play. She played 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' a lot and because of her it became one of my favorite songs. I'm going to miss this little lady so much, but I'm so blessed to have known her and heard her play. She was AMAZING on the piano! She had moments of confusion at  times but she knew the piano like no other. She knew those keys and it always left me amazed. 

For today, I'd like to just leave it this way. 

I hope you enjoy this look. 


XOXO
