Braided and Belted

Andy and I took these outfit pictures WEEKS ago but I just haven't gotten around to posting them.  I blame it on lots of things, one being my priority of this blog.  I know I've really neglected this space lately ... sporadic posting, filler posts, and lack-luster content in general.  I've just been going through the motions but my heart really hasn't been in it lately.  I want to personally thank each and everyone of you for sticking with me through these quite/rough months.  While I won't be able to commit to posting more frequently but I am going to commit to making an effort to post when the inspiration strikes ... hopefully slowly get back in the groove of outfit posts (which are so much fun to share ... when the weather is more cooperative!), diys, and shop updates.  I also have another HUGE project in the works that I am super excited to share as things continue to develop ... hooray for new adventures!

With that, I am off to enjoy a little QT time with the hubby and the pups ...

Cashmere

It is spring already, right?  Just checking.  With the super cold days that we've been having lately, it sure doesn't feel like it.  I am so ready to break out my summer maxi dresses and sandals!  In the meantime, I am trying to make the most of the frigid temps by dressing in layers.  Wouldn't these cashmere sweaters and scarves from LondonW11 be perfect for combating chills?

Make a List, Check it Twice

Without fail, whenever I am shopping for gifts, I find the perfect thing for about half the people on my "to buy for" list, while the other half leaves me perplexed and anxious.  H.Samual the Jeweller has a lovely assortment of giftable items including some great mens gifts, which is fantastic because men are always the hardest to shop for.

(sorry, I couldn't resist a Disney shoutout :)

drum roll please


It's finally time for our March Madness Group Giveaway!

loud screams and applause


I am over the moon excited to be bringing you these great spectacular prizes for one lucky winner ( and extremely jealous I can't enter as well!).


$50 Gift Cards to each of these- Target, Kiki La' Rue, Threads, and Starbucks.

+ Ad Space from all participants!


Pretty epic, right?


We all know and love Target and Starbucks, some of our home away from homes- who wouldn't want to indulge in some home goods with an iced latte in hand.


Or over-indulge in jaw drop worthy clothes and accessories from Kiki La' Rue and Threads.

Did you know Threads is a non-profit organization with oh so stunning bracelets made by at-risk American youth to help them pay their way through college? Ashley [via The Shine Project] is such an inspiration with a beautiful soul and the brilliant woman behind this organization. So not only will you be envied by many for the beautiful jewelry you own, but most importantly you'll be making a difference in these kids lives!

And Kiki La' Rue. Did you realize the most buzzed about fashion store is owned and run by the talentedly sweet Becka? I've got a hard time keeping it down at home with my two kids- so to be able to run such a successful business with impeccable customer service and dedication to it's online presence is a real super mom to me!

Infinite Love of Owls

It is hard to believe than less than a year ago my closet was 100% void of any sort of scarf.  In fact, it wasn't until last June that I purchased my first scarf and, like most scarf-lovers can relate to, I quickly became obsessed!  When I spied these darling owl printed infinity scarves from one of my vendors recent launches, I knew I had to order a few. 

They are even more darling in person.  The fabric is like a gauzy linen which makes them perfect for Spring/Summer and the owl print is adorable ... classy and whimsical at the same time.  If you are interested I have 3 colors available: mint with tan owls, black with white owls, and grey with pink owls.  Super limited quantities so you'll have to act fast :).  Claim yours here.
