Dollar Tree Haul

It's been a while since I have done a Dollar Tree haul and I thought I would share my recent finds.  I love Dollar Tree, you never know what kind of goodies you are going to find!

I saw this sweet little ceramic colander and knew it had to come home with me!  How pretty is this? 

I wish I had picked up a couple more!  That's the thing about Dollar Tree finds if you find a good one you better snatch it up as it will not be there for long.

So many good finds!

I picked up one of these silicone beauty blenders to try (side note I hated it)

Two chalk pens- These are pretty awesome!  They have a brand new revamped craft section so be sure to check it out!

I count this adorable wooden love sign, so rustic and cute!

I also picked up two more of the shelf stands.  I highly recommend these for adding a little more storage to your cabinets.  Other stores have them for $5 or more!

My last find were these GORGEOUS canvas pieces!

I couldn't believe these were at the Dollar Tree!  Even the lady at the checkout commented on how pretty they were.  Always check out the frame section for art pieces!

Look at the detail on these!

I have these hanging in our bathroom and I love them!

So good to be back at the Dollar Tree.  Let me know if you have found anything good lately!

Recent Purchases

Time for a little virtual shopping haul!  I love seeing things that people have bought, hope y'all feel the same ;)

Here are a few things I have picked up over the past month or so:

Gingham Dress

I love gingham for summer and this one was green which you know is my favorite color to wear!  I was sold!  Now it is definitely a little sheer (but I solve that with another purchase below).  It is so cute with a denim jacket and sneakers.  I got an XS for reference and it is still super roomy.

Drawstring Hoodie

I have been wearing this hoodie pretty much non-stop since I got it.  It is so soft and lightweight, perfect for summer nights or freezing in the air conditioning.  It is perfectly slouchy and the pattern is so cute with little suns all over it.  These are on sale right now for $9! 

Cactus Embroidered Sweatshirt 

Belk was having a really good sale and I managed to pick up my favorite sweatshirt in a different style.  My mom got one of these sweatshirts for me for Christmas and I love it!  I knew I wanted another one so I picked up this cactus embroidered one for $9.  So crazy soft and relaxed.  I get mine in a medium and they are perfect for leggings.  I seriously live in mine in the fall and winter.

Nude Heels

Would you believe that I didn't have a classic pair of closed toe nude heels?  I have a few open toe options and of course the fabulous studded heels but not the classic standby.  DSW has been having the craziest sales for months and this one was AWESOME!  They had 60% off a select collection of shoes and accessories.  These shoes were already on sale and the discount brought them to $4.80!?!  I also had a reward for $5 plus you get free shipping if you are a rewards member so I picked up these for FREE!

Side note if you aren't a rewards member sign up here!  It's totally free and you are then able to earn points, I get coupons in the mail pretty often plus you get free shipping.

The heels are so pretty, I love the side cutout detail and they have some cushion on the inside so they are going to be comfy.

Office Chair

Since moving I have also started working from home (actually not due to COVID) I figured I needed to get a little more serious with my workspace and first up was a chair.  I wanted one that was pretty but also comfy and this one fit the bill.  It is simple and also not bulky so it actually fits under my desk.  It is also really comfy and less than $100! 

Nude Slip

Alright here is my answer for the sheer dress.  I have a few other slips but they all were too long or just not right for the outfit.  I decided to go ahead and pick this one up as I know it will be helpful with other outfits as well.  Just a good basic everyone should have in their wardrobe.  

Raffia Sneakers

Yet another crazy DSW sale find!  I had actually been eying these shoes a few months ago and thought they were so cute but I didn't want to pay the $50+ price tag.  They had a sale were a selection of shoes were marked at $14.99 and under...y'all these were marked at $9.99!  I couldn't believe it!  They are so cute and will be perfect for finishing up the summer and heading into fall.  I'm telling y'all don't pay full price at DSW they are ALWAYS having some kind of sale!

Peplum Thermal Top

I FINALLY got my hands on these tops!  Walmart had them last year and I missed out.  They brought them back this year and I jumped on them!  They are such a good Free People dupe and they are only $13!  I picked up the white and this charcoal gray color and got them in a size small.   I can't wait for the weather to cool down a little bit to get the chance to style them! 

Let me know what things you have picked up lately!

Summer Happenings

Alright so obviously this post is super late, I've been crazy slacking on blog posts and I had this one semi finished so thought I would go ahead and share our going-ons from the past couple of months.

As we just moved and are getting settled in I decided to paint some pieces of furniture that have been on my to-do list for years!  I love how they turned out and am planning a blog post on them soon!

Our move has brought us so much closer to our families which has been wonderful!  We are so lucky to have access to a lake house on Lake Lure.  We have been there maybe 3 times in five years.  Since we moved I've been there twice and we are already planning a hopeful third trip. 

So nice to relax and get away from everything!

We were able to walk around the Flowering Bridge.  Every time I go back they have added something new!  This mirror wall was so cute!

Necessities: magazine (I love Our State), cold drink and beach bag, also LOTS of sunscreen!

Pretty much unpacked all the boxes and getting semi-settled.  South Carolina is finally feeling like home.

Exploring our new town, we walked around the cutest little park area and will definitely be back!  We've really been enjoying taking walks and exploring parks around town.

Also so excited that we have a Brusters nearby!  So So So good!  This flavor was Blueberry Cobbler and it was delicious!  I still want to try the wedding cake flavor!

We celebrated 6 years this year and are so incredibly blessed!

Work has definitely kept us both busy, enjoying time together and this new adventure.

Hope you all are doing well and staying safe!
