Trying to get back into that blogging groove, here's my instagram roundup. I've been slacking on instagram as well but here's what's going on.
Have you tried out the overall trend yet? They are super comfy and I'm into them. I just recently thrifted a Carhartt pair and can't wait to try them out!
New go-to necklace from one of my favorite brands Starfish Project! Proceeds benefit women involved in sex trafficking.
I found the cutest stickers from Snail Mail Sticker Co on etsy. She even made a custom sticker. I have been collecting some to decorate my computer and love how they are turning out!
Old pic but I wanted to show off one of my favorite bags! Sole Society recently moved to DSW and while this bag is an old style they have new styles that are super similar and less than $50!! It is a great dupe for the Chloe bag that I am definitely a fan of, but not that price tag.
Working from home gotta snap a pic when I'm dressed in actual clothes besides leggings and an oversized tee.
So...Dollar Tree now has Christmas decor out so this pic is a little outdated but how cute are these little wooden decor pieces from Dollar Tree?
Alright that's a roundup on my instagram catchup, hope y'all are all doing well! Let me know what's been going on with you lately.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
Alright, it has been a while since I have actually put out a blog post. I mean I shared a sale last week but other than that its been pretty quiet here.
Lots of things have happened, the biggest one being that we moved states! My husband got a new job and we moved from AL to SC. It has definitely been a crazy time but things are finally getting semi settled.
I thought I would jump back in with an Instagram Roundup and share some goings on in the process.
Yep that's right I jumped on the Nintendo Switch train. Being in quarantine has definitely given me more time to play video games and I have really been enjoying Animal Crossing. My island is GingerSnap and my favorite islander right now is Audie. I'm still working on my island to get KK Slider to perform, got 2 stars right now ;) Let me know if you have jumped on the Animal Crossing craze!
Let's be honest this picture was taken weeks ago, I haven't worn jeans in forever.
We are settling into our new life in SC but we sure are missing our friends back in AL. So many good memories! The Lord blessed our life in Alabama and we are excited to see how He continues to bless us here.
Moving to SC has made seeing our family so much easier (as much as COVID allows). We were able to take a weekend trip to go to Lake Lure. It was so nice to get away and just relax.
If you haven't already make sure you check out the Dreamers collection on Madison and Mallory. So many cute items like this romper and more! We had so much fun shooting this collection and I'm so glad I was able to be a part of it.
Last one, this look has a little edge and its so fun! Shop these comfy shorts, fun graphic tee and OMG these ears!!
Trying to up my Instagram stories game and these fun filters are definitely helping.
Yay for new sandals! These Pina sandals from BearPaw are made from pineapples...what?!?! They are so super comfy and have been a go-to sandal for sure.
Right before we moved we had a last minute photo-shoot taken by my work buddy. They turned out so cute and it is such a great memory to have of our time in Alabama.
Finally got all the boxes cleared out of this room and put on real clothes...had to document. This dress and bag are new favorites from Peach, jacket is an oldie but a goodie and these cute shoes were a $3 Walmart clearance find!
Instagram is full of influencers talking all about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. If you are a regular Nordstrom price point shopper the deals are actually pretty good. My everyday price point is definitely not at the Nordstrom level so I like to find look-alike items for way less!
Snake print sneakers: You can't go wrong with animal print sneakers! These are so cute and have a platform. The Nordstrom sale item is closer to $40 and I might just like these better ;).
Faux suede booties: These chic booties are so fun for fall! They have a stacked heel and pretty almond toe.
Faux suede moto jacket: Nordstrom always promos Moto jackets in their sale and I always love them! This one is only $21 and so cute!
Wedge boots: Sorel who?? These wedge boots are gonna go fast! The Sorel ones are around $250?? These are a pretty close twin for less than $30. Not even a question on which one I'm going with.
Thermal henley two-pack: These henleys were BIG sellers last year and are such a good staple!
Leopard blanket: I'm sure you have seen the Barefoot Dreams blanket that everyone goes crazy over. I'm sure that blanket is crazy soft (and better be for over $100) but this one is less than $30 and is plenty soft with the same look.
Leopard flats: All the leopard for fall! These flats are major dupes for a Steve Madden pair and are so fun for pairing with sweaters, leggings, skinny jeans and all your fall looks!
Leopard cardigan: Yep more leopard, I mean you can't do fall without a little leopard. This cardigan is a major deal find! It is only $21 and is by the brand Dreamers by Debut which is a brand carried in Nordstrom itself. Don' this out it is going to go FAST!
Thermal peplum top: I just recently purchased this one for myself and am obsessed! All the Free People vibes for so much less! Walmart had these last year and they sold out so quick I never got my hands on one. I saw they were back and scooped them up. So cute and fun for fall!
Are you shopping the Nordstrom sale or looking for dupes? Let me know your finds below!
DSW has been absolutely killing it lately with the sales! They have some new crazy sale every day it seems like. This sale is actually CRAZY and one I have never seen them do. Don't miss out on this one it ends Saturday, August 1st and styles are going quick!!
Use code EXTRA60 for an additional 60% off their prices on a BIG collection of women's and men's shoes.
I've rounded up a few of my favorites below. Y'all they've got Steve Madden, Franco Sarto, Marc Fisher, Dolce Vita and SO many more good brands!

Some of my favorites are included in this sale. Those studded heels are my favorite designer dupe and really comfy. I actually thought I lost them in our move and almost bought another pair, I like them that much. I also own the eyelet espadrilles and they are gorgeous!! Right now I have the Marc Fisher studded espadrilles in my cart ;)
