I have been loving peplums for quite some time now and I have managed to scoop up a few adorable versions to add to my wardrobe. Today, I bring you the perfect peplum from Express. It's fitted, stretchy and flared. Now that I own it in five colors, I only feel it is necessary that you own it too.
Get it here.
xo, Jessica

I don't know about you but that three day weekend sure has put a dent in my work week. I seriously can't get caught up. It's already Thursday, tomorrow is Friday and BAM, weekend is here. Who's excited? This gal sure is IF I can make it through the next two work days! Anyways wanted to update you on what's been going on lately. I've spent a lot of time out of town for work and a lot of time at the beach. Seems appropriate right? Oh, and a lot of time buying things I clearly do not need. Please allow me to show you all the random things that I have bought lately. Some of which may have been needed...others I could go without. But hey - most of it was on sale!
First off, let me start by reminding you all that I seriously love Target. The things that I can do in that store are absolutely ridiculous. I wish I had time energy for a second job because I would definitely apply to work at Target. So lately I have been visiting Target on the regular and I got these super cute wedges for a graduation party this weekend, another cardigan, blouse and an Essie nail polish in Gym Dandy. Because I definitely needed another taupe color to add to my never-ending supply. I also enjoy shopping at TJ Maxx. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad. I clearly needed two new perfumes. However, in my defense, Burberry is an wear all year perfume and I was running low and it was a great price! Kate Spade Twirl was just a bonus. The bottle is cute and it smells good. Other small things that I just happened to throw in the cart were a hair brush (perfect for wet hair) and a super cute link bracelet. I also caved and bought a new mousepad from Zazzle and matching round stickers for my office. What can I say, I am a child girly girl.
Well, wishing you all a very fun weekend and hopes that you find such good deals as I did at Target and TJ Maxx. Why must I love shopping so much?

Let's catch up shall we? I really do believe we need another day after Sunday to prepare for the week ahead. I usually stay home on Sundays and try to prepare but none of the sort happened yesterday. Saturday was an errand day followed by a night out with friends. I spent Sunday as a date day. B and I went to the movies, did a little shopping and finished the day with dinner. It's hard to find a guy that will put up with my shopping habits, but I think he manages it quite well.
So here are a few of my favorite purchases from the weekend. Is it just me or do you like to have something new each week too? lol Whether it's something like a new concealer or a necklace - something cheap or expensive - etc - I can't help myself.
So the shirt and necklaces are from Forever21, flats from Nine West, skinnies from Target and 10k gold pearls and Essie nail polish in Topless and Barefoot from Walmart.
I am a huge fan of bargain shopping and combined with coupons, gift cards and store deals - I got all of the below for about $100! I'm in LOVE.
I have a lot of black furniture in my house so I wanted to keep it consistent with the frame color. I'm not quite sure just yet where I will put this pretty little piece but I have a couple more things that I'd like to DIY too! I think DIY piece #1 was a success! What do you think?
Have a great week! xoxo Jessica

In addition to shopping and hanging with the boyfriend and friends this weekend, I also managed to recreate a piece of artwork that I fell in love with over at Veronika's Blushing.
Here is her version:

Oh, hey there Friday! Who else is with me when I say thank goodness! This has been one of those weeks and I never thought today would come! But alas, the weekend is here and with good intentions. I've got a jammed packed little weekend ahead and I couldn't be happier.
It all starts at 7pm tonight with a little massage at the spa followed by a mani/pedi tomorrow then wedding for my cousin!
So I've recently bought a pair of white jeans. Yes, I gave in and bought a pair. I have never had white jeans so I am hoping to pair them like some of the outfits below. What do you think? What do you wear with white jeans?
White jeans with chambray?
White jeans with nude tank and blazer?
White jeans with casual bright blouse and Jack Rogers?
White jeans with sweater top and heels?
I really love all of these outfits and plan to maybe pull out the jeans this weekend for a test run.
Anyways, here's to a good weekend!

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Just in case you were wondering, mine was pretty great! A little recap, shall we?
1. I babysat for a friend Friday night. This little fella thought he could get away from me. Ha!
2. Fishtail Saturday! I spent the day at the beach and I am really starting to master the fishtail. I am pretty proud of myself.
3. Beach day essentials. I am loving my new fringe top. $19.99 at Charlotte Russe. #fabfind
4. I am in LOVE. New Ivanka Trump purse from TJ Maxx and for only $54.00. Another #fabfind. This purse makes me smile every time I look at it.
5. New phone case! It is simply adorable. "If you like it, then you should monogram it."
6. Manicure of the week. I seriously paint my nails every four to five days. This week's color is OPI Pink-ing of you.

So I am in the middle of an office move and am getting really excited about decorating it. Currently, I have got a lot of pink in it - here's a quick snap of it below. I typically spend a good 10-12 hours a day in this office and I think that it needs some cozy/big girl style because the pink may be a little too much. (sorry for the quality of pics)
I am thinking of adding some grey and putting some cute pictures up on the walls. What do you think? And I printed out this cute little quote on card stock and I think it will go on the wall in my office. Also, here's a few others that I'd love to have printed too. Who says you can't look at inspiring words and cute pictures while working away, huh?
Let's hope for a quick, painless and fun week ahead of us! xoxo

I really need to start blogging more. It's been over a month since I last posted. I know, I know, I need to get it under control.
Anywho, here's a little update on me. The house is coming along but has been put on a hault as I have recently been given an opportunity to advance in my company. Hopefully with said advancement comes increased pay and then I can look for a place closer to work. (The houses are a bit more money) So fingers crossed that this works out and I can start looking for something new.
As for the last month, I took some time off and went on a cruise which was probably the best thing I could of done. I really needed some time away. B and I enjoyed ourselves and met some great people! Don't you just love when you connect with strangers? Ha! In the end, we exchanged contact info and I am excited to have new friends in different states!
So Spring has sprung in these parts and I am really craving some color in my wardrobe. You all know how much I love cream, gold and black. I find it hard to stray from those colors because I love them so much. With that said here are a few lovely pieces that I am DROOLING over and would love to incorporate some of this into my current wardrobe.
I am really loving the colored pants and jeans right now - although I don't have any! I think I will be in search of some colored bottoms soon because these are just gorg.

Loving these shoes!
And whoever created the board below clearly had my fashion inspiration in mind. Thanks, I'll take it all please.
So, here's my outfit of the day and my attempt at some color. RUN to your nearest TJ Maxx because I found these Tahari wedge beauties for $39.99. You're welcome. They pair extremely well with my Banana Republic sloan work pants and Stella & Dot pearl necklace! Oh and those cute little sunnies are from Forever 21 for $5.80. I'm loving. Buy them here.
Have a great Monday loves!
