Leopard print (and animal print in general) seems to be very popular right now. The other day, I had to make a quick stop at Target to pick up a few things (including some good sale items), and of course-- I come out of the store with items I didn't intend to buy. Seriously, Target gets me every time! Anyways, I found the most adorable leopard print heels AND they were on clearance. And for heels, they were actually pretty comfortable! Naturally, they ended up in my cart. I was so Read More
Belt Conundrum
I've never really been much of a belt person before besides my go-to classic brown belt to wear with jeans, but I've slowly started to accumulate some prettier "accent" belts in my wardrobe. I have been trying to find different ways to wear these belts and decided to try it with dress pants... So what do you think?! I feel like the no belted look is kinda drab. It's missing something- like a pop of color! Which look is your favorite? Top: Target Pants: NY& Co Outlet Shoes: Read More
Packers and Puffer Vests
Hope everyone had a nice weekend! Ours was jammed packed with lots of fun stuff (which was my goal before I go back to my first full week of work tomorrow after a super long holiday vacation. Wa waaaa.) On Friday night, Tyler and I went to see This is 40 with a Groupon I had. It was really funny but a little on the long side. I was hoping that Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl would make an appearance, but no such luck. Still pretty hilarious in my opinion! Saturday started out as a lazy Read More
Sales. Clearance. Coupons. OH MY!
Sales. Clearance sections. Coupons. I LOVE all these things! It gets me all giddy...clearly. Whether I'm at CVS, Target, the grocery store or at the mall, I love to find a good deal! I first got into couponing after attending Jill Cataldo's Super Couponing workshop. She is a Chicagoland blogger/coupon expert and helps people save money on everything from groceries to clothes. She is fantastic! Since watching her DVD and attending her workshop a few years ago, I can honestly say that now Read More
DIY Centerpiece Planter
So after several days off from work (our offices close between Christmas and New Years), I've been getting stir crazy. I've already cleaned, organized, watched movies, napped....and the list goes on. I also stalked Pinterest quite a bit. (Duh...are you surprised?!) As a result, I saw this beautiful planter, courtesy of Thrify Decor Chick and wanted to make one of my own to serve as the center piece in our dining room! There are tons of these on Etsy and I'm sure there are some expensive Read More
3..2..1..Happy New Year!
Happy 2013 to you! I honestly can't believe how fast 2012 flew by...where does the time go?! In any case, I'm looking forward to a wonderful 2013! Tyler and I rang in the New Year with a delicious dinner at a local restaurant. I wore this for the occasion: Sweater: Old Navy (recently on sale) Jeans: American Eagle Shoes: Nine West (DSW) Necklace : Gift from sis-in-law (Charming Charlie's) It seems like sparkle and glitter were very trendy for NYE so I decided to partake on a small level Read More
Merry Christmas to all!
This post comes a little late, (I was in Northern Wisconsin with very little Internet access), but in any case- Merry Christmas! Tyler, Izzy and I made the trip up to Northern Wisconsin to stay at the family cabin and hang out with family for the holidays. We enjoyed the fire... And Izzy LOVES the snow! We took a few walks while we were there and she loved exploring...and eating the snow. We ate lots of good food, including a Wisconsin favorite: Kringle! I wore this outfit on Christmas Read More
Festive Wear
So last weekend I attended a Christmas party with some friends. We were asked to wear red so I found this great Old Navy glitter tank on sale! Boots: Target Jeans: American Eagle Outlet Tank: Old Navy I topped it with this black blazer from Old Navy...it adds the finishing touch! Side note: I brought the always delicious Oreo Balls to the party! These are SO easy and SO delicious and decadent! I even made them fancy by drizzling white almond bark on top and finishing with a little green Read More
