Happy Tuesday, loves!

Ok, so by "Hot" I mean about 75, and by "City" I mean a really small town.  But something about this simple outfit of pattern plays & a turban has that song playing in my head on repeat.  

I am a big fan of using silk scarves and strips of fabric as a diy turban on the weekends.  It's an easy way to add a chic & fun element to a simple outfit.  But sometimes they are not the easiest thing for a Type-A to perfect (and to keep retying and retying...and retying..)  Good news, Gina Made It has lessened the struggle for all of us.  These ready to wear turbans are actually just headbands.  Easy peasy.  Gina Made It has all of your necessary preppy hair accessories for Summer styling. - like the bun bow & knotted sparkly headband. ... AND Gina makes them in NC which makes my heart happy.  

I know this Blush Boutique tissue tank is going to be a staple this summer.  I love tops that have a hint of texture to them, and the relaxed feel of it will be perfect paired with linen or palazzo pants this summer.  I also have some new favorite arm candy.  You can shop the indigo bangle at Leopard & Latte ...and you can shop it 20% OFF with code MAGGIE20 and the anchor bracelet from Pink Pineapple Shop is just too adorable for Summers at the beach!

Only four more days to freedom...

Happy Friday, Y'all!

I'm sure everyone is counting down the hours to 5:00.  At least I am.  This weekend we are celebrating one of my main girls and her pending nuptials with a bridal shower.  I am beyond excited to sip on mimosas, celebrate, and catch up with a few fabulous ladies that I have not seen in years!

Today I wanted to show you another favorite from The Girl That Loves.  I am a huge fan of skirts - the fit is just always easier for my body shape - and this printed skater one just screamed my name.  Since we have been having drab, chilly weather as of late, I decided to break out the booties and tweed moto jacket.  The combo made me feel very moto tough.  

I hope everyone has a great weekend!  I have a fabulous dress lined up for the shower Sunday so make sure to keep up with Instagram for a sneak peek!

Happy Monday, friends!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  Everyone in our house is itching for Spring.  Christmas and New Years have passed, and we have had a snow day for the first time in 3 years.  It's time for Spring. {I realize that as I type this, probably half of you are still buried chest-deep in snow.  I am truly sorry}  Living at the beach can be torture in the Winter.  The boat, the beach and all of your Summer dreams are just staring you in the face for 4-5 looong months.

When I said everyone in our house was ready for Spring, of course I was also referring to my closet.  She is very ready for Spring.  I think most of you know by now that I love my neutrals.  Gray is by far my favorite color.  But I am ready to break free of heavy fabrics and closed-toe shoes.  This gorgeous linen scarf from the Shawlsmith London Spring Collection is the perfect piece to add a little Spring into my late-winter wardrobe.  I was immediately drawn to this lemon polkadot scarf, but the entire Spring collection is unbelievably adorable.  And every piece from Shawlsmith London is made with such luxurious fabrics.  The linen polkadot piece is so soft and lightweight.  I also have my eye on the seahorse and cotton candy stripe . 

Guess what, beauties ??!?  Shawlsmith London is making sure your closet gets a needed dose of Spring at an incredible discount!  Use code SSL25 for 25% off your purchase!

Happy Thursday, loves!

Blondes really do have more fun. ...at least I'm planning to now that I'm back to a happy sunshine shade up top.  {no, your eyes aren't playing tricks.  these pictures were taken before the updated 'do} All four hours spent in the salon last night were totally worth it.  I came home a shiny, happy blonde and the hubs had two chocolate cupcakes waiting for me - spectacular Wednesday. 

This outfit is definitely a collab of a few favorites.  I have worn this skirt to death.  It is the perfect length and the print is ideal for mixing and matching.  I have styled it with various prints here , here and also here {I told you - to death.}  The top is actually a dress - styled as so here - re-purposed, and of course the arm candy and boots are on the favorites list.  And although I don't think I have worn the scarf in a year or so, it added the perfect pop of pink.

Happy Monday everyone!

I hope you all had an amazing weekend!  Things were pretty quite around the homestead this weekend.  It was actually the tzu tu's first birthday Saturday.  We celebrated with a puppy cup {whipped cream} from Starbucks, lots of play time in the backyard, and "banana" flavored puppy cupcakes that I made at home.  And after all of the whipped cream and icing, Sunday turned into bath day for both pups.  

With Valentine's Day just two weeks away, my brain is locked into all things pink, red and gold.  I love Valentine's Day simply because of the color scheme and adorable decorations... and all of the chocolate doesn't hurt.  And I can proudly say the hubs is my first true Valentine {sorry, Dad - you were a really swell Valentine for the first 25 years of my life...} Since Valentine's Day falls on a Friday this year, I will be stuck at the 9-5 admiring the roses the hubby will undoubtedly surprise me with.  Just because you are at work doesn't mean your V-Day attire has to be boring.  This print-mix look is perfectly office appro and still festive.  And can we talk about how gorgeous this new necklace is from Trendz Boutique ?!  I can't tell you enough how much I love this store!  Every piece needs to be in my closet immediately.  

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I have teamed up with some fabulous blogger friends to gift one lucky reader with $1,000 cash.  Yes, $1,000.  One Grand.  To enter simply fill out the Rafflecopter below.  And make sure to visit the the other blogging beauties below.  They are some of my favorite daily reads!  contest is open internationally!
