CORAL COLLABO

Hey Hey! 

Breakfast the past few days: fresh fruit and greek yogurt.

Feeling the bright colors lately! Coral rocks my world, can't you tell?! A nice pop of blue to accent all the coral love going on with this outfit. Versona necklace, Lauren Conrad for Kohl's top and TJ Maxx skinnies. Love!

Mmm... Starbucks refresher drink. Even my drink is coral!

The other day I met up with a friend from work at Starbucks for some consulting on her decor and organization of her soon to be new home. SO much fun! I love getting to be creative and being able to help someone at the same time! Ivanka Trump bag for my Mac Book. One of my TJ Maxx steals!

When I got home from work today I noticed that our Asiatic Lilies are starting to bloom again. Yay! Can't remember the name of this other plant but it is starting to bloom too!

After a good sweat session at the gym, the hubs and I grilled out some chicken, squash and zucchini. Mmmm! 

I also made one of my ultimate favorite sides: Sweet Potato Chips! Peel the sweet potato and cut into chips. I then line the chips on a foil covered cookie sheet and put a little olive oil (butter works, too) and cinnamon on the chips. Swirl the cinnamon around each chip with your finger to make sure it spreads out and mixes with the oil. Bake at 420 for about 12-15 minutes and viola!

Short and sweet tonight!

Yesterday we had some family over for a cook out. Just a relaxing evening followed by a sleepover with two of our nephews. They were having too much fun and didn't want to go home! Here's my look:

Target tank, TJ Maxx skinnies by Celebrity Pink (part of my Jackpot Joy), Stella & Dot jewels and NY&Co sandals.

Christina Link Bracelet
Jolie Necklace
Valor Studs
Fox Ring- Sold Out

Winston taking it all in while Charlie remains in the safety of our home following my every move. He is such a Momma's boy!

This morning before some yummy waffles! Sleepover was a success!

Hope everyone had a safe and fun weekend!

JACKPOT JOY

Hey Hey! How has every one's holiday weekend been going? The other night we had a patio dinner (garage door style) and some drinks. Just a relaxing night out with the hubs :)

Forever21 dress, wedges from LuLu's and a TJ Maxx cardigan with some faux leather paneling. Love!  

I bought this dress almost three years ago when we were getting ready for our honeymoon. I probably paid $15 for it, it is still in perfect condition and will always be in style. Love, love, love!

New addition to the pantry. This stuff is very good! Gotta love Target!

Just a few of my new purchases from yesterday. I hit the fashion sale jackpot! Everything I felt that I was missing for my summer wardrobe, I found. Skinny jeans for $16, silk tops for $10 and even a pair of high end designer dress slacks with a tuxedo stripe down the side for... drum roll please... $10. Needless to say, I rocked. Still so happy! My winning stores were Kohl's, TJ Maxx, Victoria's Secret and Versona. And, of course I wore some of my new finds that same day, lol.

I definitely do not go shopping everyday, so when it is time to stock up I try to do it as cost effectively as possible! Most of what I blog about are items that I already own. Adding odds and ends in here and there can give you that extra spice that you need to get inspired within your own closet. One new top or one new pair of pants can create an entire new set of options that you never even realized! After my summer overhaul that I did yesterday, I now have a gazillion new outfit combos that I cannot wait to play with! Remember, it's not about looking fab 24-7 or spending tons of money. It is about looking fab when you want, and in an affordable way! 

High bun love! I had worked out that afternoon and then went straight to shopping, so when I got home I needed to get ready, QUICKLY and the high bun it was. So quick and  so simple IF you use the sock bun by Con Air. LOVE.IT. I do not get any kind of perks by mentioning any of this stuff. Just truly things I love and use all.the.time.

Kind of blurry, but this was hilarious. Promo girls for Jim Beam where giving out samples of a new clear whiskey to everyone along with a pic. It's called, Jacob's Ghost, hence the ghost they placed in the pic. Too funny!

Not sure what we are going to be getting in to today, but I'm sure it will be fun! 


What are your Memorial Day Weekend plans?


Is it annoying that 98% of my blog photos are done with my iPhone? Responses (good and bad) welcome!!
