Recent Finds

When you can't go out and go shopping you spend way too much time online shopping, tell me it's not just me.  Here are some of my purchases from the beginning of quarantine to now. 

Madewell Boardwalk Sandals | You really can't go wrong with these real leather classic sandals.  I saw @emily_soto wearing them and I want pretty much everything she shares.  They are already on sale for $19.99 but they are doing an extra 30% off.  Make sure you sign up to be a Madewell Insider and you get FREE shipping!  Being real leather they do take a little bit to break in but once they do they are like butter.

Wild Fable High Rise Mom Jeans | All the girls at work were wearing mom jeans so I decided to give them a go.  This pair is an affordable way to try out the trend.  I like the overall look but I need to give them a little styling session and figure out the best way to wear them.  Let me know your styling tips for mom jeans down below!

Charm Detail Hoop Earrings | I picked up these during a Target sale and have been wearing them all the time!  I love the charm detail, so dainty and fun!  They are under $10 and so light and pretty!

Studded Heels | Second pair of shoes and I'm not done yet.  I have been eying these heels for months, they are such a great designer dupe.  I picked them up during a DSW sale (which they are having SO many right now!) and can't wait to have somewhere to wear them to!

Espadrille Wedges | These are my new go to summer shoe for dressing up a look.  They are such a great dupe for the Chloe espadrilles.  I love the eyelet detailing!  DSW is having really crazy sales all the time right now so if you have your eye on them snag them now!

Power Scrubber | Switching gears from heels to a scrubber...that's me.  I saw someone talk about this on instagram and thought it would make cleaning our shower tiles so much easier!  It is less than $20 and is a time saver!

Splurge vs. Save: Valentino Rockstud Heels

I have been a fan of the coveted Valentino Rockstud style heels for years but would never pay almost $1,000 for a pair of heels.  DSW coming in with one of my favorite dupes!

Valentino Rockstud Slingback Heels $995 | Alright so the quality is there, leather and all.  I have heard from a few reviews that they are a not the most comfortable.

DSW Liraven Studded Pumps $39.99 | How close are these shoes?  I have been eyeing them for a while and finally just went ahead and purchased them and I have zero regrets!  They are gorgeous!  For heels they really aren't uncomfortable, I sized up 1/2 a size for a little more room.  The nude color is really flattering and the studs add just a little edge.  Now I just need somewhere to wear them...

Instagram Roundup

Catching up and rounding up Instagram posts.  Hope you all are safe and well and had a great weekend.  We got Olive Garden to-go that was amazing!  I also rented the new Little Women movie and really enjoyed it.  It was different but really beautiful costumes and I liked the way they told the story.  We relaxed and caught up on things to get ready for the week.  

New favorite go-to necklace from Madison and Mallory!  It is gold-dipped and so dainty.  It also comes in a silver option.

Celebrated my mom and all the other mother's, so thankful for such wonderful women in my life!  This pic was taken on our trip to New York before everything went crazy.  Posts on that trip will be coming sometime in the future!

Reading Lately

One benefit of this quarantine life has been more time to get through my giant book stack.  No kidding since the beginning of all of this I have read six books!

The Wedding Dress by Rachel Hauck | This one was a sweet read, about a girl who owns a wedding dress shop and is struggling with her own upcoming wedding.  She randomly purchases an antique trunk and when she opens it she finds this beautiful vintage wedding gown.  She then follows along to discover the history of the gown.  The book switches between past and present following the story of the dress at present and the first owner of the dress.  It was a cute, easy read.

The Bondwoman's Narrative by Hannah Crafts | Deemed the first novel written by an African-American woman, this book follows a slave girl as she escapes her plantation and makes her way to freedom.  The story was interesting, focused on the theme of human desire for freedom.  While sometimes choppy the historical implications are great. 

Who Do You Love by Jennifer Weiner | This one was just ok for me.  The story focuses on Rachel and Andrew.  Rachel is a high class rich kid while Andrew is raised by a single mom and just getting by.  They meet by chance as small children and then later on as teens.  They fall in love, have issues, break up and get back together (multiple times).  Like I said it was just ok, Rachel comes off as shallow and Andy sometimes comes off as a jerk.  Not my favorite relationship but it was a decent quick read.

Falling by Jane Green | Successful girl leaves her high class job as a banker to move out to the country and start an interior design business.  She rents a little fixer upper from a cute landlord and his young son.  No surprise they fall in love.  I enjoyed the portrayal of multiple relationships in the book, from romantic love to the dynamics of parents and children.  The ending, however,  really wasn't my favorite, surprising and came a little bit out of nowhere. 

Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty | This book was probably my favorite from the stack.  The writing was really interesting.  The story revolves around two friends who go to a Bar-B-Q with neighbors one evening.  Something happens that will change everything.  The something is teased for the better half of the book, getting insights from different characters.  She had me guessing all kinds of terrible things that might have happened.  I really enjoyed the way this book was written, if you enjoyed Big Little Lies or any of her other books you should check this one out.

Sisters by Danielle Steel | After a terrible accident four sisters have to draw closer to each other to get on with their lives together.  I enjoyed the sister relationship and getting to go through each sister's character.  The story was interesting and had plenty of drama and relationships thrown in.  It was a quick girly read.

Current Crushes

New series I wanted to try out, my current crushes.  These are items I have found that I LOVE and are on my wish list.  I have seen other bloggers show theirs and I love seeing their roundup of things they want to purchase. 

1. NECKLACE | I have a cheap version of this one and really like it but it has definitely started to tarnish.  This one is 18K gold plated yet still affordable. 

2. SUNGLASSES | I really don't need another pair of sunglasses yet I am always drawn to them.  This oversized tortoise pair is calling my name!  They are also less than $15!

3. TOP | Graphic tees have been a thing a for a while and I've been enjoying the trend.  This sweatshirt is so fun with the horse print! 

4. LEOPARD SNEAKERS | I have been thinking about these sneakers ever since I spotted (haha) them!  They are on a super sale, less than $20 and I'm in love with them!!  They just might be in my cart ;)

5. EYESHADOW | I have heard raves about these eyeshadow palettes and this one is so pretty!!  Gives me feels of the tarte and Stila palettes for less than $10!

6. BAG | Major Rebecca Minkoff vibes for less than $40!!  I love the green version of this bag with the faux croc detailing. 

7. HOOPS | These hoops are gorgeous!!  I was eyeing a pair similar to these from Kendra Scott but these are less than $15 and give very similar vibes.

8. SANDALS | I spotted these in the Nordstrom clearance section and LOVED them!  They look like a Steve Madden pair but these are on sale for $25.  I love the neutral but glam look, perfect for wearing all summer!

Let me know what you think of this new series and let me know your current crushes!

Friday Favorites

It's about time I got back and started talking about my favorites.

Adidas Sneakers: These were a birthday gift and I love them!  They are such a pretty classic sneaker and the rose gold touch adds a chic touch.  Mine are the lilac color, I'd say they are really cram with the slightest tint of lilac.

Torani Syrup: Since we've been staying home I have started making my own lattes.  I have the hazelnut flavored syrup and have really enjoyed adding milk, creamer and the syrup to my coffee for an easy at home latte.  If you really want to get fancy you can froth up your milk with this guy.

The Kennedys: I just started this series on Hulu and I'm hooked.  I had heard about this series when it first came out but never watched it.  I've really been into watching more historical based series and shows.  This one follows the Kennedys and the journey to the White House and the tragedies that follow.  I have really been enjoying watching it.

Blink: I played this game all the time with my siblings when I was younger.  While stuck at home Kyle and I have been playing more games and this has been a nightly pick.  You can only play with two people and its super fast.  If you are looking for a fun card game check this one out!

Kendra Scott Earrings: This was another birthday gift and I LOVE them!  They are so classy yet subtle.  Perfect for wearing with pretty much everything!  Also they are on sale ;)

Hope you all have been doing well and not getting too stir crazy!  Let me know what you have been loving lately in the comments below!
