Hi all! I hope your week is off to a great start. Busy here, I’ve got a couple of different projects going on and making my way through accomplishing them while the baby sleeps. I am excited to show you our improved bedroom. As you know, since we moved into our house in July, the windows in our master bedroom and bathroom looked like this Last Thursday morning the shutters were finally installed and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I was getting nervous as the shutters were being brought inside because they looked huge, but once they were installed, it made sense. And did you notice in the photos above the new bedding? I was at Target over the weekend just minding my own business when this fabulous Thomas O’Brien bedding jumped into my basket. Don’t you hate it when that happens?! 😉 After living in the dark for so long, I am amazed at how light and bright our room is when the sun shines in! See?!
Is your week going well? I had to take a breather earlier this week since Sunday we hosted my sis-n-law’s baby shower here and those parties are so fun, but…
We’re ready for Easter over here! I’ve got the table all set for Sunday dinner and the Easter baskets filled. We’ll be having ham, mac and cheese, corn on the…
Are you guys enjoying your Christmas break? It’s been a long and lazy last few days around here and I don’t know how many more cookies and cake and goodies…
Hi friends! We made it to Friday! Our first week of homeschool in the books and everyone is alive and well! I was probably more worried about me surviving it…
How’s your week going friends? I’m just over here counting down the days ’til the 2017 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale like a kid at Christmas! It’s so close, opening this Thursday for cardholders. ??I got a friendly letter in the mail letting me know they upped my limit just in time for the sale- #thankyouverymuch! We’ll keep this little detail to ourselves and not bother the hubby with that tidbit of info! 😉 Are you excited?!?! Of course, I’ll be sharing my picks on Thursday and then a big ‘ole dressing room round up on Friday with fit tips and recommendations. Let me know what you have questions about and I’ll do my best investigative journalism for ya!
This swingy striped! cold shoulder dress is perfect for daytime or evenings out. Love the simplicity of it and the drapey fabric. Such a steal at right under $50! For a daytime look, you could wear it with the #10 sandals (they have lots of colors) & for evening, these black open toe heeled sandals would be great.
Show off your summer mani with this gorgeous, chic statement ring! I like to wear it on my first or middle finger on my right hand with a bold bracelet.
I’m sure you’ve heard me rave about this maxi dress before. Every time I wear it, I get tons of compliments and it’s really flattering and comfortable. It’s on sale under $40! I wear XS.
High waist leggings will be your BFF, I swear! They keep you all nice and tucked in and make you feel great while working out. Zella quality is always superb, and this pair comes in three colors with criss-cross detail at the calf. They run TTS, I wear size XS.
Although I normally wear a tank to workout, this Zella tee is my go-to when I want a t-shirt. The seams in the shirt are perfectly placed to help the illusion of a smaller waist and I like the cut of the sleeves that don’t irritate me when I’m working out.
My go-to tank, $11!!! I think I need to stock up on the other colors. It’s perfect for wearing alone or layering under cardigans or other tops. It fits TTS, XS here.
I have the older version of these sandals and they are really good! They come in tons of colors and the “beige leather” has a snakeskin pattern that goes with everything. Sam Edelman makes quality shoes that last, so I highly recommend them!
In honor of the upcoming romantic holiday, I had some fun with my manicure opting for an accent color on my ring fingers. I’m fond of this trend right now,…

I love the new shutters! What a difference they make. The bedding is beautiful too…I have walked by it many times in Target!! You need to have that picture of James printed on canvas…it is perfect.
Look at that little angel all snuggled up in the new bedding! The shutters are amazing! I can't wait to see what you do with the sitting area (hello, who has a sitting area in their bedroom?!? lucky duck)
I think a patterned fabric would be amazing in the backs of those short shelves! 🙂
