Wednesday Wish List: Target Dresses
I actually have not shopped at Target in quite a while. And when I saw Jodie wearing this green polka dotted dress from Target, I had to go check out what other amazing dresses they have for Spring and Summer. First of all, if it’s green, I must have it. If it is polka dotted, I usually must have it. And if it is green with polka dots, watch out because I am coming for it full speed ahead! Jodie is looking quite smashing in this dress so you must go check her out! *This is not a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. *Featured photo:…

Weekend Wish List: Victoria Beckham for Target
So many of my blogger friends have been sharing their fitting room selfies of the Victoria Beckham Line for Target, so I had to go check it out in person. Not to mention, every time I have shopped in Target in the past 3 months, the sales people were all up in my face with “Have you seen the new Victoria Beckham line? It is coming soon. Be sure to check back when it arrives.” As if I need any more incentive to shop at Target! *Feature photo: Women’s Bee Print Scarf with Marigold Trim – Victoria Beckham for Target Victoria Beckham for Target shop all Victoria Beckham for Target…

GlobeIn Collaboration: Hydrate Box Review
When I was first contacted by GlobeIn (via my MOMS Club) about a collaboration, I have to admit that I had never heard of the company and had to first conduct some research before considering the offer. But what I found totally impressed me and I was completely on board. GlobeIn is a company dedicated to supporting artisans from around the world and especially those in third world countries. It is their mission to provide these artisans with a global audience so they can make a living producing their handcrafted goods. The end result of purchasing goods from GlobeIn is the reduction of poverty in these countries. In addition, all…

On the Edge of the Week Link Up #4 and Tee Shirt Giveaway
Today I am sharing with you a classic all-American summer look. Cut off distressed denim shorts, a plain white tee shirt, and footbed sandals. I feel like I stepped straight out of John Mellencamp’s 1980’s but with a modern twist. I just need a black moto jacket for cool summer nights and a pack of smokes! Ha. That’s where the modern vibe comes…no smokes! I am not going to go off on a smoking soap box. We all have our vices. No judgments coming from here. Outfit details: Tee: Old Navy Swing Tee Shorts: Target (Mossimo from last year) Sandals: Minnetonka from Famous Footwear (from last year) Belt:Walmart (from last…

Too Much Tequila, A Tantalizing Tunic, and Finding My People
Yesterday, we had some friends come over for an afternoon/evening of great food, delicious drinks, and a lot of laughs. Apparently, by the end of the night, I was drucking funk which is actually quite humorous since I am not much of a drinker at all. But these drinks! I found this recipe for the Dialexa cocktail in the June 2016 issue of Redbook. We decided to just make an entire pitcher of this heavenly concoction! Actually, we made two pitchers…and drank it all. To make this cocktail by the pitcher, we just followed the same ratios but on a grander scale. We muddled a bunch of pineapple and watermelon…

A New Twist on an Old Tunic
I bought this tunic last year from Old Navy but I never wore it much because every time I put it on the length and volume overwhelmed my body to the point of complete frumpiness! I really wanted to wear this top though the other day because it was pouring rain and I loved the pattern paired with my pink and black floral rain boots. I thought if I layered it over leggings and added my boots, it would look more like a cute dress. But again, frump-ville. So I started playing with the front of the tunic in an attempt to give it some shape. First I knotted it…

Spring Favorite (and My Husband’s Favorite, Too): Tee Shirt Dress and Sneakers
I have been seeing a bunch of posts featuring the most adorable tee shirt dresses paired with sneakers. And I find myself repeatedly commenting how this is one of my favorite outfits for spring and summer. Then I realized I never wrote a post showing how wear this combination. So here is my post! I wore this outfit a few weeks ago to take the kids to a local event called “Touch a Truck.” A small nearby town hosted this fundraiser event where they set up all sorts of vehicles for children to climb through and explore. There were fire trucks, a dump truck, a garbage truck, a paramedic van,…

Easy Like Saturday Morning
Yesterday morning, I decided I was not leaving my house and would get caught up on some blogging work. So I wanted to be comfortable but still feel like I was dressed. I recently found these adorable olive green shorts on clearance at Old Navy for around $10. And I have worn them 3 times in the past week for just lounging around. They literally feel like pajama shorts with an elastic, drawstring waist and loose fit through the thighs. I decided to pair them with a plain black tee and my black Madden Girl footbed sandals that I got last summer. It got a little chilly later in the…
