Instagram Roundup

It's the last day of April...can you believe it?  I know I can't.  Welcome to another weekly instagram roundup.  If you are new this is something I have started recently showcasing my instagram pictures from the week, describing in a little more detail and providing shoppable links if you are interested in any of the products.  
If you aren't following me on instagram, check me out here!

 I have been wanting snakeskin boots for a while and I finally pulled the trigger on these beauties from Amazon.  They are super comfy and pretty neutral.  I am obsessed with them!!


In case you missed my post, I found my new favorite Starbucks drink.  Y'all it is delicious!

I love a good personalized piece of jewelry.  This one is my favorite new addition to my collection.  I have a bar necklace with our wedding date and I love it so I knew I had to have this circle one!  My husband and I have been talking about couple tattoos of our wedding date...I'm liking this design.

 
Two coffee pictures in one week...yep sorry not sorry.  This one was actually taken a while back in a hotel.  Always enjoy relaxing and enjoying coffee in a comfy hotel bed.

How pretty are those flowers??  I spotted these at a vendor booth at the Atlanta Market and had to snap a picture.  This would be a really cute idea for a baby girl's nursery.

Random Target mirror selfie because why not?  Super glamorous dirty mirror, stylish carpet and a background of socks...you get what you get.

Things I Bought Recently: Shopping Haul (too many shoes and a movie)

I've been shopping again...I think I get spring shopping fever.  Is that a thing?  It has to be a thing.
Check out what I got and let me know what you guys have been buying lately.  


"The noblest art is that of making others happy" - P.T. Barnum 

If you have been following me here you knew this was going to happen.  I am obsessed with this movie, absolutely fell in love with the acting, music and the cinematography is beautiful.  I got mine at Target and there was a $5 gift card offer, not that I needed a bribe to buy this one.

I picked these pretties up on swap and am obsessed!!  I have been wanting a pair of espadrille wedges and these are so cool!!

These are my new favorite neutral booties.  I had seen them on instagram and everyone was raving about them so I decided I needed them. #instagrammademedoit

I have been eyeing snake skin booties for a long time and found these on amazon.  They are so comfy and so fun!  I love the texture and detail they add to an outfit.

These shoes are a little out of my comfort zone but I love the leopard.  I went to the Atlanta Market a couple of weeks ago and the lady at the Naughty Monkey booth had these on and she looked so chic.  I found them on DSW and combined a sale they were having with my DSW reward and a gift card.  I ended up paying less than $10 for these beauties.  They are super comfy and I'm hoping I rock them half as well as that stylish lady. ;)

Obviously I was on a shoe kick...I think I'm set for spring and summer.  What have you been buying lately?

New Favorite Starbucks Drink: White Toffee Iced Coffee


Thanks to Wendy or thetrendyschoolcounselor on instagram I have a new favorite Starbucks order and I am OBSESSED!!

I am a big fan of the Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato, if I get Starbucks that is pretty much my choice but this one is just as good and cheaper (which is always good).

I call it the White Toffee Iced Coffee.  
How to order:

Iced Coffee, no classic syrup, add white mocha and toffee nut to your liking, light cream

I like to actually taste the coffee so I don't want it too sweet my syrup breakdown is:

Tall: 1 pump White Mocha, 1 pump Toffee Nut
Grande: 1 pump White Mocha, 2 pumps Toffee Nut
Venti: 2 pumps White Mocha, 3 pumps Toffee Nut

If you like it sweeter add a pump more of syrup or add more cream.  I love the creamy rich flavor of the White Mocha and the Toffee Nut adds depth, it is my new favorite.

Bonus a venti comes out to less than $4...which for Starbucks is a steal.

If you try it let me know what you think!  Let me know your favorite Starbucks drink or concoction you have made up.

I was in Walmart one day checking out the new stuff and this one is the cutest!!  I couldn't find it online but check out your store to see if they have your state!


This was one of my favorite looks this week, I felt put together but also super comfy.  My husband had a speech he had to go see and I decided to go with him.  I enjoy going to do things on campus, makes me feel like I am back in college...plus they usually have refreshments.

Top 10 Neutral Eyeshadow Palettes (Drugstore and Sephora)


I am a pretty basic girl when it comes to makeup, I prefer a natural look that I can put on quick and not have to stress or worry about it too much.  Neutral eyeshadow is always my pick, here are my Top 10 Favorite Neutral Eyeshadow palettes:

Naked Palette: Super old and basic but worth it.  This is pretty much the ultimate neutral palette.

The Nudes Palette: Drugstore dupe for the naked palette, not quite up to the Urban decay quality but for less than $10 the pigmentation and payoff is goof.

Natural Eyes: This is my favorite palette out of the group.  I pretty much always travel with it and it is my go-to for a nice look.  They just redid the packaging on this one but the product is the same.

Wet N' Wild Fergie Palette: I picked this one up at Dollar Tree, such a steal!  It has really nice pigmentation, blends well and creates a pretty look.

Dawn till Dusk: This one has been my go-to for everyday lately.  It is a dupe for the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette.

Need it Nude Palette: I have been a fan of e.l.f. cosmetics for years and this palette is one of my favorites from them.  Pretty nudes and so easy to make an everyday look.

In Bloom: Pretty on the outside and the inside, this palette is great.  I also like to travel with this one for the giant mirror.  Oh and it smells nice.

Love in Paris: This palette is travel friendly because it is on the small side but it has lots of color options.  Good payoff and pigmentation this little palette is worth a try.

I-Color Trio: I have been using this palette since high school and have repurchased so many times.  I love the ease of the trio and that it is specifically chosen to compliment your eye color.

Lorac Pro 3: Another high end palette I feel is worth it.  Good pigmentation and easy to blend, the palette others lots of color options that are so pretty and perfect for everyday.

Farmhouse Decor at Walmart

I love the farmhouse style but definitely can't afford the Pottery Barn/Magnolia/etc price tag.  I was at Walmart recently and found quite a few farmhouse inspired pieces, perfect for decorating on a budget.


These bins were less than $7 and so cute!!



If you saw my recent post, these mugs would look familiar.  So cute, Rae Dunn inspired mugs for less than $3!


Guys Walmart had so many of these rustic tins, perfect for storage and decor.







How cute is this serve caddy?  Perfect for a party, home organization or flowers.




Another option for a party or would be really cute storing utensils in your kitchen.




These are so pretty for your patio or for wedding decor.


This glass spigot is gorgeous and so perfect for a party or just adding a nice touch to your kitchen. 




They also had these galvanized ones for a more rustic touch.


These little art pieces are perfect for adding a little touch of farmhouse to your walls, they would be such a cute addition to a gallery wall.


One of my favorite pieces!  These beef and pork cut framed art pieces are prefect for adding a little farmhouse touch.



Walmart has so many baskets available and these are so fun!  I couldn't find these chicken wire ones online but they had a few that were similar.




These crates are the perfect DIY vessel and Walmart has the best price around.

What is your favorite place to find affordable farmhouse decor?
