Black And Grey Striped Soft Sweater

How's everyone doing this awesome hump day?? I'm so happy this week is almost over. I get to spend some much needed time with one of my besties on Friday and I can't wait. I have been doing a lot of thinking here lately and I have decided to drop my posts from 5 days a week to 3. I haven't mentioned it yet, but I'm currently in the process of starting an online store and it has been taking up a whole lot of my time. Add my full time job on top of that and I hardly have any time to breathe. While a blog should be nurtured and treated like a job, it shouldn't be your whole life. So, I'm going to lessen my load to allow myself more time to work on my business and spend time with family. I'm cutting the Sunday outfit post and the Thursday Top 10 of the week post. I'll still have the Monday must have post, the Wednesday outfit post, and the Friday freebie post. This may not be a permanent thing, but I'm going to give it a try. As always if there's something you'd like me to write about or you have any suggestions you can shoot me an email or just follow one of my social media accounts linked below and shoot me a message on there. Now that I got all that out of the way, I have found the cutest sweater that I want to share with you that's perfect for fall and is super comfy and casual. So, where did I get this cutie and where can you get one for yourself?


The Sweater
I actually found this sweater while I was on vacation in August at the Lufkin, Texas mall that I went to with my parents. There was a store in this mall that I had never heard of before called Maurices and I knew as soon as I walked by this was going to be a great store for me. Their style is very feminine and I loved all the retro items they had for sale, but when I saw this super cute sweater and felt how soft it was I knew this was the top for me. I love stripes and black and grey are the perfect neutral colors for fall so I knew I could make this work with my wardrobe. At less than $30 it was an awesome deal! The only downside was I couldn't wear it when I bought it and I knew it would be close to two months before I could put it on. Finally we had some slight fall weather here in Texas so I didn't hesitate to throw this on and wear it out shopping with my mom last weekend. So how did I end up styling this cutie and how can you change it up to match your style?


My Style
I wanted to stick with the casual theme but dress it up just a little so I paired it with my dark blue skinny jeans from Forever 21 that I've had for the longest time and my new black boots from Walmart that I purchased recently. I love getting jeans from Forever 21 because they are super affordable and they fit really well. These black boots have quickly become a favorite of mine and I wear them almost everywhere. They are very lightweight and really comfortable to wear even after a long day at the mall. LOL To change it up a bit you could wear a pair of black or grey Converse sneakers to create an even more casual look or you could dress it up a bit more and wear a pair of lace up flats. Either way, throw on a black bomber jacket for those cooler nights and you have the perfect fall outfit :)

Must Have Monday

Hey everyone and happy Monday! The weekend is officially over and it's time to head back to work. I know you're probably a little bummed but don't worry because the next weekend will be here before you know it. To help with those pesky Monday blues that I know can get you down, I have found some really cool stuff that I think you'll love. Who's happy it's fall? Who loves pumpkin spice? If you said yes to either question then we can continue being friends ;) LOL and you will definitely love all the must have picks of the week because they all have something to do with pumpkin spice. 


Must Haves
It's really easy choosing the must have list when I pick a theme so this week I chose pumpkin spice. I recently discovered that pumpkin spice is more than just a flavor, it's now a color too. With that in mind, I cruised through my Polyvore app this morning looking for the cutest pumpkin spice related items that would be great picks for this fall season. I found 5 things that I think everyone must have and I know you'll love them as much as I do. I've linked all these exact items HERE. The must have Monday picks are:

1-Striped purse (Tory Burch $1,095)
2-Pumpkin spice campfire mug (etsy $17)
3-Phone case (Claires $7.83)
4-Pumpkin spice lip balm (Target $5.79)
5-Pumpkin spice colored boots (Ariat Waverly $280)


The striped Tory Burch purse is so cute. I love the fall colors including the pumpkin spice color that's mixed in. This one is a bit pricey so I've linked a more affordable one from Amazon HERE for you. This will look great with all your fall outfits. The campfire mug is a wonderful thing to have for the fall season. With all the bonfires and hay rides going on this month this little mug will be your new best friend that will hold all your hot beverages on those cold nights ahead. This phone case is so adorable. I know I'm always including phone cases in the must haves of the week but why shouldn't I? You can never have too many phone cases especially if you want to change it up to match the seasons. I use lip balm every single day especially during the cooler months when my lips get chapped from the wind. Are you an avid lip balm user too? Why not trade your normal cherry lip balm for this awesome pumpkin spice flavor? It's very festive for the fall season and I'm sure it tastes wonderful. These riding boots are amazing!! There's just a hint of the pumpkin spice color but it's just enough to put these beauties on the list and make them a definite must have item for fall. These are a little expensive so I've linked a slightly less expensive pair HERE.

Aren't all these picks awesome? How much do you love pumpkin spice? Which one of these items is your favorite? I'd love to hear from you so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Be sure to spread the love by sharing this post with all your pumpkin spice loving friends. I hope you have an amazing Monday and happy shopping :)

Blue Plaid Ruffle Dress

Hey everyone and happy Sunday! How's your weekend going so far? My weekend was pretty awesome! I finally got my nails done (black and orange for Halloween) and I got to spend some quality time with both my parents and my sweetie. Sadly my weekend is over and I'll be heading back to work in a few hours but not before I tell you about this beautiful new dress I found that I know you'l love and that's perfect for fall. So, what is this dress and where can you get one for yourself?


The Dress
I found this dress while shopping at Kohl's last weekend and I fell in love with it the moment I tried it on. I love shopping at Kohl's because I always find the cutest clothes there and because they have an awesome rewards program. This dress is just another example of how cute their clothes are and I'm so happy I found it. I don't own a lot of clothing in blue and I really need to change that because this color is really pretty. I'm also obsessed with plaid so this dress caught my attention the moment I saw it. The super soft material and the beautiful ruffles are what sold me on this dress. I love wearing clothing that is soft and comfortable on the skin so as soon as I put this beauty on I knew it was going home with me. It's on sale right now for less than $30 so be sure to snag yours before they are all gone. So, how did I end up styling this beautiful dress and how can you change it up to fit your style?


My Style
I decided to wear this dress to church so I wanted to dress it up a bit. I had just purchased a new black scarf from an awesome boutique in my town called Pruitt and Taylor and I knew it would look really great with this dress. This beautiful scarf is super soft and really comfy to wear. The only bad thing is the temperature here in Texas is still in the upper 80s so as soon as church and this photo shoot were over the scarf came off. LOL I also kept with the dressy style by choosing a beautiful pair of black heels. These heels are so shiny and pretty. They are also surprisingly comfortable as far as heels go. I got these beauties from Shoe Dazzle a few months back and they have quickly become my favorite pair of black heels that I own. To change it up a bit you can take off the scarf and wear a different pair of shoes. A cute pair of lace up flats would look nice and so would a nice pair of wedges. Sandal wedges would be great if it's still hot where you live. To make the outfit warmer keep the scarf and add a black jacket with some black leggings and a pair of boots or booties.

Isn't this dress so pretty? How would you style it differently? I'd love to hear from you so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Be sure to spread the love by sharing this post with all your friends who would love this outfit. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend and happy shopping :)

Halloween 2016: Most Popular Movie Character Costumes For Women

Who's ready for Halloween? No matter what time of the year it is I'll always raise my hand when asked this question. Playing dress up is the best thing about Halloween in my opinion. For one whole night you get to pretend you're someone else and isn't that super fun?! Well I guess I love the caramel apples, the haunted houses, and the scary movies too but there's nothing quite as exciting as parading around town in your cute little costume. Who already has their costume picked out and ready to go? ME!! I actually purchased my costume last year for the renaissance festival but it rained so I wasn't able to wear it. This year I plan to rock my costume rain or shine ;) For those of you who have no idea what you want to dress up as this year, I have a great idea for you!! For the last couple of years we have had some amazing movie releases so why not dress up as your favorite character from one of those movies? This year there are 4 costumes that will be high up on everyone's want list so be sure to snag your favorite while you still can. So what are these 4 costumes and where can you find them?


The Costumes

#1-Harley Quinn
This is quite literally the most popular costume of the year!! I just went to Party City last weekend to check out the costumes and they were already sold out of this in a size small and it's only the first of October. I mean I totally understand why it's the most popular...hello it's Harley Quinn!!! It's Jokers love interest and Miss Crazy herself so who wouldn't want to pretend to be the fearless Miss Quinn for a night? You can find this costume everywhere including Party City and Spirit Halloween so be sure to snag yours quickly. I've linked one HERE for you.


#2-Rey from Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Star Wars was the most popular movie at the end of last year so who wouldn't want to dress up as the daring Rey and pretend to fight the dark side? Also, I seriously think it's going to come out in the next episode that she is actually Luke Skywalkers daughter so that makes dressing like her even more awesome than before. If you love this movie and this beautiful character be sure to snatch up your Rey costume before they sell out. You can find one at Party City if you hurry but I've also linked one HERE.


#3-Wonder Woman
Who saw Batman VS Superman? Pretty awesome movie right?! I was so happy they introduced Wonder Woman since she will have her own movie and be featured in the Justice League next year. Her costume in the movie was also pretty darn nice and if I didn't already have my costume I'd be wearing this one wig and all. Who wouldn't want to be a strong powerful woman who isn't afraid of anything? I'm telling you there will be many beautiful ladies wearing this costume this year so be sure to grab yours from Party City before they are gone. You can also snag one HERE.


#4-Black Widow
I love this character so much and with the recent release of Captain America: Civil War this costume has been in high demand. If you haven't seen this movie you have to head to your local red box because it is one of the best Marvel movies I've seen recently. Who wouldn't want to pretend to be this beautiful red headed assassin who kicks butt all the time? Have you seen those fighting skills?? I need to meet her trainer LOL. You can also grab this costume from your local party city before your size is gone or you can get one HERE. 


So, have you decided which one you like the best? Picking out the perfect Halloween costume isn't always easy especially with us ladies, but I hope I was able to give my movie lovers some great ideas. Sexy and sassy Harley? Brave and daring Rey? Fearless and strong Wonder Woman? Courageous and bold Black Widow? Who are you going to be for Halloween this year? I'd love to hear from you so leave me a comment and let me know what great costume ideas you have. Be sure to spread the love and share this post with all your friends. I can't wait for Halloween and even though it's only the first Friday in October, I'm already getting excited. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and happy Halloween shopping :)

Before I go...Don't forget to enter my awesome Halloween themed giveaway!! There's less than one week left to enter so hurry. You can see the official rules and enter HERE.

Top 10 Picks Of The Week

Happy Thursday!! It's officially my last night of work for the week and I couldn't be more happier. There was too much drama at work this week and I don't have any time to be up in that mess so I'm ready to get to the wonderful weekend and have some much needed quality time with my mom. How has your week been going so far? Dealing with any drama yourself? You know one of the best forms of therapy is retail therapy and I have found some amazing items for this weeks top 10 picks that I think you'll love. So where did I go shopping this week and what amazing items did I find?


Kohl's 
Is it just me or is Kohl's amazing?! I love the rewards program and getting $10 in Kohl's cash back for every $50 I spend is pretty awesome! I don't think I've ever been here one single time that I haven't purchased something and I'm already looking forward to their amazing black Friday sales next month. I know it's early but I'm one of those crazy black Friday shoppers you've read about. LOL I was excited to know I was going shopping here last weekend because they always have such great stuff and this time was no exception. I actually had a hard time picking only 10 items but finally, after what seemed like hours, I found the perfect fall pieces to share with you.

The Top 10

This dress is so beautiful and it's plaid which is perfect for fall and one of my favorite patterns. The material is really soft as well which makes for a very comfy fit. I can see this beauty with a black scarf and some black boots for a perfect fall look.


I love this dress so much. Not only is the cut of the dress very flattering but the floral print is super pretty and retro. This beautiful dress would look great with a pair of wedges, lace up flats, or ankle boots. A nice scarf or blue jean jacket would be a wonderful finishing touch for a nice fall outfit.


This is the color for fall and the lace is absolutely gorgeous. You may not be able to tell by the picture but the sleeves are bell shaped which makes this beauty retro and even more pretty if that's even possible. I would wear a pair of heels with this one for a nice dressy look for fall. 


I loved wearing swing dresses during the spring and summer seasons but I was afraid it was over now that fall is here. I'm glad I came across this beautiful long sleeve version because not only is it super cute but it also means this trend isn't going away any time soon. I'd wear a nice pair of booties or boots with this one and maybe even a pair of leggings.


These tops are everywhere right now! I think I've seen every fashion blogger I follow in at least one plaid top. I mostly see red plaid however and I thought it was nice to see something a little different and that's why I picked this cutie. I'd pair this with skinny jeans and some black booties.


These shirts are really popular right now as well and I love them for their simplicity and casualness. I picked black because it's easy to style and because it's slimming. This is a great top for fall and would look good with a pair of skinny jeans and some black converse sneakers. That's probably how I'd wear it anyway.


This sweater is gorgeous! I love how it mixes the casualness of the stripes with the dainty girly lace. This would look great paired with some skinny jeans and either ankle boots or clogs. I probably wouldn't throw on a scarf with this one though because I feel it would take away from the beauty of the lace.


8-Grey tunic tee $9.99
Sometimes it's great to go with something minimal and this is the perfect tee for that. Have you purchased a great scarf for fall but can't seem to find anything to wear it with? If so then a tee like this would be perfect for you. I love the fact that it's a swing top so it doesn't fit too snug and it moves freely when you walk. I'd wear this with skinny jeans, a great scarf, and some booties or boots.


This top was one of my favorites from the beginning. It's just so pretty and it fits very well. The print and coloring of this beauty make it the perfect top for fall. Throw in the fact that it has tassels in the front and you have a winner in my book. LOL I'd wear this one with some skinny jeans and lace up flats. 


This top looks much prettier in person I assure you. I know it looks a little wrinkled but it's nothing a good touch of the iron can't fix. The light pink color is great for those who want to hold onto summer a little longer but yet still be all up in the mix for fall. LOL. I'd wear this cutie with some flare leg jeans and wedges which would be a great fall combo and I may even throw on a scarf for a little something extra.


Two of these beautiful items ended up going home with me so be sure to keep up with TWW for these featured outfits in a future post. Aren't all these picks super cute? Which one was your favorite? How would you style it to make an outfit? I'd love to hear from you so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Be sure to spread the love by sharing this post with all your friends. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and happy shopping :)
