I am beyond tickled for all of my friends right now. It seems like if one isn't getting engaged or married, someone is buying a home or having a baby! So many exciting things happening over here!

So, for this wedding, the theme was nautical and I felt like navy and teal would be the perfect color combo to go with and match with cognac accessories. Plus, navy is such a classic color and can be pretty much worn all year-round.

I made some adorable last minute bracelets, to match my nails of course and to brighten up the outfit a bit as well as added a pair of over-sized turquoise earrings to top it off! Thoughts?

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.

Over the weekend, one of my best friends from college got married and boy oh boy the wedding was just adorable! Perfect small town wedding in my opinion. So in wedding attire spirit, I decided to put together the inspiration below of what I was aiming at for my wedding attire! And then following, what actually came of said inspiration and what I wore!

I am so excited to linkup with Walking in Memphis in High Heels this week for her Trend Spin Linkup! And it's all about how to wear white! Well since I live in Florida and it's pretty much acceptable to wear white all year round (GASP) this was an easy one for me to pull off. But my attempt at winter whites just looks like summer whites to me. You be the judge.

We all know how much I love a great neutral, so I paired my white skinnies with a beige tank, belt and bag to bring out the whites. I am not a huge fan of wearing white on white but I don't think it turned out too bad! Thoughts?

Oh hi! I wanted to wear something light today but comfortable and I really am in love with this cardigan. It is just so colorful and fun and really goes with everything. And this necklace. I bought it in two colors. Oh and seriously thanks to our South Florida weather, not even 5 minutes after these photos, it started to downpour. 

Today I bring you a sweet little yellow and cream combination. I really love this look. I love taking things that I already own and adore and finding new combinations with newer items. I bought this cardigan a week or so ago from Target. It is so light and pretty and really works well over a blouse. Also, I just can't get enough of my link bracelet. I swear I wear it with everything. 

I am beyond excited to link up with Walking in Memphis in High Heels and The Fashion Canvas for Trend Spin Linkup this week!

I am loving this mint cardi from Old Navy and my mint floral blouse from Target. (On sale for $8 and also comes in a dress!) Such a fun way to pair a print! What do you think?


So here you have it. My mint outfit for the week. Have you incorporated a little mint into your wardrobe yet? I'm off to dig in the closet for next week's neon trend! Or go shopping, I suppose.

Well happy Friday night to you all. I'm currently sitting here, wine glass beside me enjoying some pasta salad and me time. We all deserve a little bit of that here and there, am I right?

Please tell me I am not the only one who remembers the show, The Look for Less, with Elizabeth Hasselbeck? Oh my word, I loved that show. If you're new to hearing about it basically,  a person must shop with a fashion stylist to recreate a runway outfit with a set budget (ex: $150) in under an hour. I decided to do that myself (with no outfit in mind) just Target online and a budget. And below is what I came up with and ALL for under $116! I seriously love Target..I mean what can't you get there?!

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

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. 

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.
