Anchored










Oh Monday, you always come too soon...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday whether you are a mom, grandmother, expectant mom, aunt, Godmother, or puppy mom (I guess all of you cat ladies count too.)  Although my mom was miles away yesterday, I made sure my dad spoiled her with her favorite things - venti lattes and a trip to the mecca of garden nurseries.  It's the little things.  I celebrated one of my second moms in her absence - my wonderful mother-in-law.  It's so nice to have a wonderful person to take care of me until my parents invest in a helicopter to come see me from Ohio every weekend....  really guys - what's taking so long?

Today is another very special day to me as it marks two years of saying "I do" to the hubs.  I honestly cannot believe it has been two years.  Each day just seamlessly fades into the next because our relationship is so effortless and easy.  They say time flies when you're having fun, right?

Nothing screams Summer to me like neon anchors & nude sandals.  The flowy fit of this Poof! Apparel dress inspired a different styling of this Pink Pineapple Shop neon anchor scarf.  There are so many ways to incorporate a scarf into your look.  This video from Wendy's Lookbook always inspires me to find a new way to tie one.  I highly recommend it.  

I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!  Sorry for the less-than-clear pictures.  I am finally trying out the 50 mm lens and lets just say it needs a little tweaking.  Advice is greatly appreciated.

Nautical Brights & a Monogram Giveaway













Happy Friday Eve !!

This week has flown by!  Maybe it's because my Monday didn't start until Tuesday & I am already planning for Saturday...

Living at the beach it's easy to get a little nauti from time to time.  This adorable dress from The Girl That Loves was perfect for a nautical look.  I love the surprise lace panel in the back!  A few hot pink accessories & monogram baubles perfected the easy breezy vibe.  I am obsessed with the colors of my newest Leopard & Latte pretties!  If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably noticed I wear the stone & tassel necklace almost every day.  You can shop these pieces at 20% OFF with CODE MAGGIE20 !

Speaking of monograms, how gorgeous is this gold monogram bangle from Carolina Clover ??! This is another North Carolina company... you all know how I feel about supporting NC... that is a bit of preppy Heaven .  There are so many unique monogram pieces, like this bangle & plenty of adorable gifts for all of your monogram-obsessed friends.   PS -  you can get 10% off your purchase at Carolina Clover here

That's My Jam[berry Giveaway]










Happy Friday, loves!  

WHOOP WHOOP  - that's the noise I plan on making all day.  Because:

1.  It's Friday.
2. It's 70 degrees here.
3.  I have on a cupcake princess skirt. 
4.  I have another Friday Giveaway for you guys (keep reading...)

Seriously though, is this not the most darling skirt you have ever laid eyes on?  The Little Skirt Shop makes sweet little dreams into reality in the form of a skirt.  You might have seen this beauty on Instagram over the weekend.  I wore it to a friend's surprise birthday party and would honestly wear it every weekend if it weren't for the hubs giving me that look...."really, again?"

So this week was my first time using Jamberry nails and I have to say, the process was a lot easier than expected!  I used the nautical set (blue & white stripes with red anchors, so presh) to get me in the mood for summa summa summa time.  My Jamberry rep, Chelsea was so sweet & helpful to make my first experience with Jamberry a success.  The new wraps are so precious I have a feel as though an addiction is inevitable....    I have only had them on for a few days, but they are supposed to last for about 2 weeks.  Which, would be wonderful since I currently paint my nails 2-3 times a week.

I definitely let my nautical nails influence my entire outfit today!  These types of striped crew-necks are one of my favorite things to stock up on a T.J.Maxx.  They can be dressed up or relaxed and never break the bank for a tee.  And with the weather FINALLY cooperating this weekend, I am excited to test out the float-ability of my new Hammock & Palms sunnies (yes, they float!!  amazing, I know.)  You can get ready for Summer with a sweet discount code - use MAGGIE04 for 30% OFF Hammock & Palms sunnies until 04/20!

Ok, I have chattered enough.  GIVEAWAY time!  My lovely Jamberry rep Chelsea & I are teaming up to giveaway a set of Jamberry nails!  There are so many fun prints for Summer that I know you will want to try!  Simply enter the Rafflecopter below.  Giveaway ends 04/17.  Good Luck!
