Fashion Friday

It's a bit late but I wanted to get this post in. It's going to be quick.

It's spring time which means it's dress time. Here are some cute dresses that would be great for Easter.

These first two dresses are by Jessica Simpson. I am not a huge fan of her singing, more importantly her performing, but she definitely has fashion style. The second dress is my favorite. Such pretty blue stripes with orange piping and the cut of the dress is to die for!

The third dress is by London Times and is equally as pretty. It's a blue ticking stripe and I love the white ruffle around the neckline.






I also saw these great bags at H & M. All so inexpensive priced under $50.00.





I hope you have a great weekend. We are going to do a little exploring, we are heading to the oldest city in America, St. Augustine Florida. I'll post pics next week.

Stiped Totes

I have been looking for a striped tote style bag since I posted this pic




Well, I found this one


at Ikea.
Yeah, that's right Ikea. Cute, huh?

In my search online I also came across these cute purses. I like all of these but I love to carry tote bags as purses. They are so roomy.

A pretty picture and A few thoughts......

Just a few thoughts on my mind....

It is not a good feeling to be having drinks with someone who was born the year you graduated high school....

Enjoy every phase of life that you are in because one day you are going to look back and think "wow, those were some great times".....

But, don't look back and wish you were somewhere in your past, remember the good times and be happy with who you are now....

It's ok to buy things at a deal, you don't have to have name brand or buy from expensive stores, be creative.....

If you tend to buy "the good stuff" USE IT for goodness sake, don't save it for a special occasion.....

From someone who went through YEARS of infertility and extensive fertility treatments and still wasn't able to conceive;
EVERY baby, or two or three, IS a MIRACLE!!!!

Lastly,

Adoption, a gift from God, is a blessed event!


Have a great day.

From the weekend

Hi there Monday! You sure are gloomy!

How was your weekend? We had beautiful weather here and tried to enjoy it as much as we could as it is suppose to rain all week. I am not complaining though, I get to wear my rain boots, wear cute jackets and enjoy a little bit of spring. Plus, it's going to help my flowers grow not to mention put a damper on all of the wild fires we are already having to battle with here. Spring showers are always welcome.

We did a little home interior project this weekend. We wanted to add some storage in our breakfast room off of the kitchen so we were off to Ikea for some ideas. I was inspired by this picture that I posted a few weeks ago.






We put our spin on things and decorated it with a coastal feel as is the rest of our home.

This is the before



Here is how it looks.






Then today I was at Target and I found these




Now we need a new light fixture.


We are thinking this




or this.....



What do you think?

Fashion Friday

I LOVE this maxi dress from Forever XI. It's cute, looks comfy, and it's stripes! And best of all it's $12.90. I don't know how but it is. So cute.

What do you think? Do you like the maxi dress? I'm a bit on the shorter side at 5'4". I think they may make me looks shorter unless paired with some really great wedges like these



And for a final touch I like it with this bracelet


A cute weekend outfit for under $50.00.

What will you be wearing this weekend?

Anthropologie Style Center

So exciting, Anthropologie is starting to offer interior design services in select stores. I would certainly take some advice from their stylists. This is one of the design centers. What a great partnership, great interiors and great stylists. You just can't go wrong.
