Weekend Wish List: More Velvet Things
I expressed my deep affection for velvet on my Wednesday Wish List where I shared some of my favorite jackets, shoes, pants, tops, and dresses crafted from this luxurious fabric. I know velvet is one of those fabrics that many people either love or hate. So if you are an anti-velvite (I totally just made up that word), you can probably just skip this post and check back tomorrow for something different. But if you love velvet as much as I do, keep scrolling for some more of my favorite velvet things. Velvet Kimonos 1. Free People Nightbird Burnout Kimono 2. Torrid Burnout Velvet Kimono 3. Shein Tassel Tie Velvet…

Weekend Wish List: RhinexShine Earrings
On Tuesday, I shared The Random Act of Kindness That Made My Day about a pair of beautiful hand crafted earrings that my boys found in the park left specifically to “make someone’s day”! This wonderful act of kindness by Whitney, the creative designer behind RhinexShine, has inspired me not only to share her story and her generous act of kindness in my #SpreadTheKindness post this week but it has also inspired me to share some of my favorite earrings from her Esty shop today. Whitney definitely has an eye for details and colors and all of her handmade beaded earrings are completely on trend, fun, and unique. Check out my…

Weekend Wish List: Penn State Fan Gear
The final countdown to college football season 2018 has begun…one week from today, I will be up early preparing some sort of football snacks for the husband to plant himself in the living room for the day enjoying his very favorite past time. It is quite literally the only time I see my husband sit down and relax. And I enjoy watching him enjoy his leisure time. And he enjoys when I get all dressed up in my blue and white Penn State fan gear. We aim to please each other…and we are winning at this marriage game because of it! Now that I have the over the knee boots…

Weekend Wish List: Popreal
I have always loved Mommy and Me outfit stylings and really only ever saw them featured with daughters when my kids were younger. Since I was blessed with two boys, it was a fashion trend that has really stayed off my radar. Recently, I was contacted by Popreal, an online fashion boutique that specializes in original, high quality, exclusive fashions for children as well as Mommy and Me sets. While my kids may be a little too old to want to match mommy these days, I know there are many of you with young sons who may appreciate some unique and adorable mom and son matching outfits. Check out some…

Weekend Wish List: Kimonos & Where To Find Them
Here I go again with more kimonos! Because I just can’t get enough. But also because the theme for the August Good Buy/Good-Bye Book is kimonos and some of you have commented that you do not own a kimono. That is blasphemous in Shelbee’s Book of Style! Every woman needs a kimono and I am going to share with you some of my favorite places to find cute kimonos at various price points suitable for most budgets. One of the first places I look for kimonos when the craving strikes me is Charlotte Russe. Sometimes they even have a sale that is $15 for all tops including kimonos in the…

Weekend Wish List: Jeffrey Campbell Boots
I know we are still firmly planted in the heat and humidity of summertime and I am thoroughly enjoying the lazy days without the hustle of getting everyone ready for school and out the door on time, but before we know it all that back to school stuff will be bombarding our computers and television screens screaming at us to start preparing for fall. So now is the perfect time to start making those fall wish lists so you know what to search for when all the back to school sales start. While I have no budget right now to add anything new to my already extensive wardrobe, a girl…

Weekend Wish List: Dresslily Wigs
Do you ever wish you could try out a new hairstyle without making a long term commitment? I think we are all a little bit afraid of commitment when it comes to our hair! I know I sure am especially when it comes to changing my hair color. I have been wanting to color it half white and half black (see the photo below), but after a long consultation with my hair stylist, we decided not go forward with the process. My hair is so dark that the time and amount of money it would take to get it to white is just way more than I am willing to…

Weekend Wish List: Zaful White Sweatshirts
While we have been experiencing quite the summer heat wave lately just about everywhere, eventually it will break and the summer nights will begin to cool off some. What better time to invest in a cute sweatshirt for those cooler evenings hanging on my front porch just watching the sun go down and the time pass by! And a bright white sweatshirt seems to fit my need this summer. White is crisp and cool and looks super adorable with some cut off denim shorts. Just abut any graphic looks perfect on a stark white background, too, so the choices are endless. And ZAFUL has a wonderful variety to choose from!…

Weekend Wish List: Summer Hats
With the Summer Hats Edition of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book coming soon, I thought I would share some of my favorite warm weather chapeaus that I have been craving. A few weeks ago, I shared an outfit that was inspired by Mel of Mom with Style but I substituted my straw cloche hat in place of a fedora like was Mel was wearing. Two reasons for this substitution: I don’t own a fedora and I don’t think fedoras are suitable for my head. Until I tried on this one from Kohl’s a few days ago. And I loved it! And I left it behind. Boo. Now it is at the…

Weekend Wish List: Phive Rivers
On Wednesday, I shared a luxury brand of hand carved leather bags on a whim that I had discovered through a spam comment. And then that same day, I received an email from a different luxury brand in handbags inviting me to join their affiliate program. So I figured since I have been overwhelming you all with posts about kimonos, switching gears to luxury handbags might be a nice change. Today, I introduce to you Phive Rivers, quality leather bags that are “Untouched By Machine, Crafted By Men!” *Since I am a Phive Rivers affiliate, I may earn a small commission if purchases are made through the links provided in this…
