It's a Print-On-Print Kind of Day!


Yay! It's Friday!! I'm sure everyone is feeling that way right about now. I have the most glorious weekend ahead- Tonight is my younger cousins confirmation - I am his sponsor (deeply honored!). Also, my grandparents are coming in town. Weee! On Saturday we have a surprise party for George (my cousin's grandpa) Shhh its a SURPRISE! Don't worry - I highly doubt he reads this blog ;) 


I am keeping to the theme of Print Mixing in this post - here is my version of the trend! Striped nautical shorts and a floral tank! It's absolutely perfect on a hot summers day! 


My Emerald tote (another hot trend: Emerald) is actually from Target - on sale, it ran me about $15 - that's why I love Target =) 

By the way, SO SORRY about the sun glare!! I tried to get rid of it and it was just messing up the photo - forgive me! 



Thanks for reading all you lovelies! Have a wonderful weekend!

Chilly Spring Morning


It was chilly in the morning this past Monday! I got up for work and decided I am not ready to give up my sweater and boots yet! I tried to not go too wintery by using appropriate colors for spring - yellow =) Just a casual, comfy kind of day! 


I got this light-weight sweater at Express - it was in the $20 bin and had an additional 25% off! Score! 


Don't forget the boots - I have worn these so much I probably owe the boots money. I got them at Target - two Thanksgivings ago! I always see some version of them in stores as soon as the weather cools down a bit. I love yellow and I can't seem to get away from it! In fact, I am sitting at work right now in a yellow cardigan!! Am I stuck in a yellow rut? I promise to expand my fashion for you all - great outfits to come (and much more season-suitable!

Trendy Tuesday: Mint


Mint



Mint is a great, easy, happy spring trend that has been around for about two years now - but is not showing signs of going anywhere. From jewelry, weddings, home decor, to evening gowns and skinny jeans - it is truly everywhere you look. 

It gives a fresh, clean feeling that looks good on everyone. I like it during the warmer months because if I have any sort of tan at all - it makes it pop! 

This fabulous Mint leather strap watch can be found at Lord & Taylor - Don't have one near you? Order online! Price point? Under $100!! 

Essie is my beyond favorite nail polish brand - its so rich in color and easy to put on (I do my own nails weekly so it's important for it to be easy and high in quality!) This is Essie's Mint Candy Apple - they have a few shades of mint in their collection but they're all good (some more greenish, some more blueish - all minty!) It just depends what speaks to you! 

Honestly, I think Kate Middleton has been in every single one of my Trendy Tuesdays so far - talk about trend setter! This is so pretty and classy - It really shows you how to pair mint with neutrals in order to accomplish a classy, simple look. 

Bringing it back 60s style! This is a Retro Rotary Telephone! It was just found online - I am not sure you can purchase this anywhere - probably at an antique shop or flea market. So cute right?! Too bad I don't have a land line...

More fabulous trendy girls in the finest mint - I love Extra's Maria Menounos's dress the best - The different shades of mint in the chiffon material looks romantic and gorg. 

Marianda Kerr looking breezy and beautiful as always

These are awesome! I need some mint earrings - These were found on Etsy.com actually and after a bit of research - Etsy apparently has TONS of mint earrings just like this! Also, with silver base instead of gold - if that's more your thing =) 

Minty Macaroons. Yum.

Oh gezz - not only do I want to wear this to the many upcoming weddings I have this year - but I am also tempted to throw my bridesmaids in this beaut! Cannot track down where the heck this is found (saw in google images) If anyone knows - help a sista out!! 

This is a cute look as well - wearing mint with all black - this allows the mint to really shine - also can be worn while filling the gas tank! Who knew?! 

Now for some home decor in the fabulous mint green. I wish I could do this room - maybe one day- the vases on the wall and amazing - so daring! I wonder if I could pull it off?

OOOOOH calming - doesn't it make you want to have a spa day?!

Pretty in Mint - I find these tulle skirts to be coming deeply into fashion as well - I'd love to throw this on with a white J.Crew tee and a jean jacket - Hello Spring! 

Nice Top - this girl is all over pinterest in this getup - its almost an edgy-mint green look - very unique!




Took my engagement photos this Saturday - they're being edited now and should be to me by the end of the week - stay tuned and I will post them as soon as I get my hands on them! Can't wait!
