Splurge vs. Save: Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac

Love Rebecca Minkoff but don't want to spend the $100??  I found a pretty close dupe at Wal-Mart...yep Wal-Mart.

Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac: This is the classic Rebecca Minkoff bag, perfect for everyday and such an easy bag to throw on with every outfit.  At almost $200 it is a little bit of a splurge.

Vivian Crossbody: I spotted this dupe in store and couldn't believe how nice it was.  Granted it doesn't have the stud details on the strap or bottom of the bag but the other details are pretty close.  For less than $15 you really can't beat it!  They also have it in a few more colors.

Millennial Pink Magic Band and Rose Gold Ears!!

If you are a fan of Disney you know that rose gold and millennial pink have taken over.  I have had my eyes on the millennial pink magic band since they came out (seriously so cute!).  I was super lucky and ended up wining a giveaway on instagram where I won a millennial pink magic band AND a pair of beautiful rose gold ears!! 

The giveaway was hosted by Mimosas and Mouse Ears.  They are a mother daughter team creating the cutest Disney ears.

They are so cute, check them out if you are in the market for Disney ears!!  They also do custom ears which is awesome.

I have been loving the leather earring trend going around and these gold flecked ones are my new favorite!!  These are from Magpie & Bobbin.

We went on a day trip to Boone, NC and I absolutely loved it!  We walked around campus and down King Street, always good to get back to my college memories.  Check out my post here. 

I had the opportunity to collab with Beaudin Designs and share their beautiful leather handbags.  The best thing about these bags is how they support women in bad situations.  Check out more info here.

Another AppState pic...so fun reminiscing where we met and everything started.

I finally tried Kodiak Cakes and I am obsessed with them!! I also made muffins with the mix and they may be even better than the packcakes.  P.S. this flavor is exclusive to Target, go pick it up it is delicious!!

On to another week, also if you aren't following me on instagram...check me out here. 

Weekend in NC

My husband had spring break (shouldn't everyone have a spring break????) so I took the opportunity to take some time off work and we took a trip to see our families.  We spent the first half of the week with my family and the second half with his.  Since we live 6-8 hours away it was so great to get the chance to see everyone. 

I said we were on "spring break" but we had two different days of snow.  It was definitely pretty to see but I prefer it when I don't have anywhere to go.

My littlest sister had her 19th Birthday (what??) a couple of days before we were there and she wanted to take a day trip to Boone, NC.  This is home to Appalachian State University which is where I graduated school and met my husband.  We stopped in the Mast General store and picked up one of these cute mugs.

It ended up being me, my husband, my two sisters (Rae and Christy), Rae's boyfriend and my parents.

I had such a great time walking around campus and seeing old spots.  Students were on spring break so the campus was a ghost town.  That meant more options for cute pictures that would usually be full of people.

I made sure to get a picture in front of the sign...believe it or not I had never gotten one.

Such a good day spent with family!

We walked around King Street downtown and stopped in some cute stores, so many new ones since I graduated.

My littlest sister just started her own blog, go check it out here.

The second half of the trip we spent time with my husband's side of the family and really just took time to relax and hang out.  I actually didn't get any pictures (#fail) but we had a great time!

Style with a Purpose: Beaudin Handbags

I recently discovered Beaudin, a luxury leather goods store on etsy.  Beaudin was founded by a mother and daughter team, which I love!  Each piece is designed to liberate and inspire by providing a portion of the sales to reach, rescue and restore those in sex slavery.  They also provide training and employment for those in difficult situations.  Getting a beautiful bag while helping women, that is something I can get behind.

They sent me this beautiful leopard print crossbody that I immediately fell in love with!  Such a great size and it feels so luxurious.  I wore it all over on our spring break getaway.

They also sent over this gold speckled cowhide wallet.  How gorgeous is this??  So perfect for storing your essentials.

I went post happy this week...here's a recap

We took a day trip to Boone, NC with my family while visiting and had such a great time reminiscing on the campus.

"Spring Break" involved two separate accounts of snow...

Every once in a while I like to throw in a mirror picture, this faux suede drapy duster is a favorite.

I posted about my Sephora Birthday gift for this year, check it out here.

So good to see my family and celebrate my littlest sister's Birthday!

I can't resist a cute mug!  We picked up the pretty light blue one with "I Love You to the Mountains and Back"

I posted about the prettiest sentiment bangle bracelets, I love a well placed quote.

If you haven't seen my post on Wal-Mart finds, check it out here.  I found this necklace along with so many other things.

I will leave you with this beautiful sunset picture I was lucky enough to witness.  What a great reminder of God's love and how His mercies are new every day.

New Spring Finds at Wal-Mart (fashion, home, etc.)

Spring is coming and Wal-Mart is popping out new stuff.  They just came out with a new line Time and Tru and guys it is awesome!!  I love taking a walk through Wal-Mart to see all the new products they have coming out and check out some clearance.  A lot of these are also available online, if I can find them I'll link them :)

Guys these jeans are so nice!  That released hem!!  These are all under $20 as well. 

Those star jeans!!!  I am obsessed with these!!  Stars are having a moment right now and these pants are perfect for spring.  They also have a little distressing and unfinished hem.

Pretty embroidery gets me every time.  These are a boyfriend fit and are so cute.  

It's high quality embroidery guys, so pretty! 

Wal-Mart always has cute hidden gem (haha) jewelry.  When I walked through this past time they weren't so hidden, I wanted all of it!  How nice is this druzy necklace for less than $3???

Time and Tru also has jewelry and guys it is so nice!!

Druzy layered necklace for $5!

This one was so interesting, I loved all the textures!

It's official Time and Tru is my new favorite Wal-Mart brand!!

How cute is this backpack???  I love the rainbow gradient!

These tote bags are available every year but they are so classic.  Faux pebbled leather, so many colors and they are reversible so you get two colors in one.  They look and feel really nice and remind me of Madewell...but they are $10.  

This color is really pretty for spring.

This was probably one of my absolute favorite finds from Wal-Mart this trip...does this look like Kate Spade or what??  These dome tassel crossbody bags are my favorite!  Oh and they are less tan $15!!!

You may recognize this one from my instagram and blog posts (Five Things Friday, What I got for my Birthday).  This bag is one of my new favorites!!  Such great quality and the perfect size.

How cute are these metal farmhouse inspired buckets??  

If you haven't tried the Ozark Trail tumblers yet and you are a fan of Yeti, definitely check these out!!  We have a couple in our house and they work just as well as the Yetis that we have. 

These tumblers started out wit just silver and then got a few more colors.  I am so excited that they now have super chic, gorgeous colors!!  How pretty are those colors???

Guys, how fun are these crossbody bags???  They would be so cute to wear to Disney ;)  They would also be really cute to throw on just for a fun detail.  I am loving that popcorn one.

Rebecca Mikoff lookalikes for less than $15!!  These crossbody bags are so pretty and they come in all kinds of different colors.  This holographic one is so fun!!

They also have metallic ones like this rose gold one.

This ring crossbody looks really trendy and is less than $15!

This T-shirt dress is so pretty for spring, the floral print is so pretty!!  This one is less than $10!

These mules are from last season but I wanted to share that they were on clearance.  I actually waited and mine just went down to $5 so I had to pick up a pair.  I feel like you can still wear these in the spring as they are open back.
