Gingham: Its Not Just For Picnics Anymore…

I don’t know if anyone else has noticed, but gingham print is a big trend for this spring. I’ve always found myself gravitating towards this print, even if it does make me feel like a picnic blanket or a country bumpkin sometimes.  Either way, I am all over this trend.

Latest Loves

These are the latest things I’ve been crushing on lately.  What are you crushing on lately?

  1. Elastic Espadrilles, Boden-I could not love this color more.  The price on the other hand, I could do without that.
  2. Jewelled Button Cardigan, Boden-I love me a good cardigan and this just snazzes things up a bit.
  3. Sky Drops Earrings, Anthropologie-I helped throw a baby shower over the weekend and this was the hostess gift I got. I am in absolute love with these earrings.
  4. Coptic Cross Bracelet, Sundance Catalog-I saw a bracelet similar to this on the BonBon Rose Girls site and have yet to stop thinking about it.  This is the closest I’ve come to finding something like it.
  5. Mossimo Ownah Striped Espadrilles, Target-I actually purchased these since it’s already getting summer-like here .  I plan on wearing the hell out of them this spring/summer.

I’m baaaack!

Sock Hop

I really don’t like socks on my feet. I am much more of a flip flop kinda gal, but boy do I have a deep love for chubby little baby feet in some cute socks. Little AJ has socks galore and sometimes I just want to change them 7 times a day just to see some other cute ones on his feet. Here are some that are definitely going to be on his toesies soon.

Oh the Memories!

When I think memory foam, I think my bed. Well, this memory foam is for another set of pillows if ya know what I’m sayin. Who the hell knew they made memory foam bras? Um, not me. Until recently, I was wearing the standard mattress and box springs I guess. This bra provides that same fluffy weightless feeling for the ladies and gimmick or not… I LIKE it.

Target, Memory Foam Full Coverage Bra

Holy Cowl

A cowl neckline is somewhat of a classic that’s been around for ages, but it seems to be stepping it up to center stage because I’m spotting a cowl every which way I look. I’m a fan and being universally flattering and feminine, you should be too. Although I am not ashamed to admit that as a child when my mother said cowl neck sweater I totally thought she said cow neck sweater. I never wanted a cow neck, so I wouldn’t dare wear whatever the hell she was talking about. I’ve learned me a few things since then.

  1. Cowl Neck Sweater, Forever 21
  2. 3/4 Sleeve Cowl Top, Charlotte Russe
  3. Cowl Neck Top with Hood, Target
  4. Striped Cowl Pull Over, LOFT
  5. Cowl Neck Jersey Top, Old Navy
  6. Cowl Maternity Top, Target

Bamboo Love

  1. CB2, Bamboo Dry Erase
  2. Target, Red Bamboo Vase
  3. Target, Good Cook Bamboo Spatulas
  4. Target, Coiled Bamboo Bowl (They have this in turquoise in the store and I NEED it on my dining room table!)

$50 Fridays: Drop and Give Me 50 (dollars so I can buy this)
