Must Have Monday

Hey everyone and happy Monday! It seems like forever since I've written a post when in reality it's only been a few days. LOL I guess that's what happens when you go from posting five times a week down to three. But, I did get a lot of stuff done for my eBay business and hopefully soon I'll be doing that full time and maybe on my way to opening an online boutique. Fingers crossed for me ladies :) I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was awesome! I got to go shopping with one of my best friends and I spent some much needed quality time with my sweetie. I'm really looking forward to this coming weekend though...not only do I have four days off but I'm going to the Renaissance festival and I couldn't be more excited!!! Ok enough about me and my plans because today is Monday and that means I have found some great must haves that I think you'll love. So, what did I find this week?...

Must Have Items

Who loves wearing super cute Halloween tees? They are literally everywhere right now and some of them have the cutest sayings on them so I decided that this week I would make a list of the five cutest Halloween tees that you simply must have. I searched my amazing Polyvore app again and found some great tees with some pretty funny sayings on them. I've linked all these tees HERE for you in case you would like to snag one for yourself ;)

1-"Nightmare Before Coffee" tee (Amazon,$19)

2-"Resting Witch Face" tee (Etsy,$25)

3-"Boo Y'all" tee (Amazon,$17)

4-"Pumpkin Spice And Everything Nice" tee (Amazon,$20)

5-"Don't Make Me Get My Flying Monkeys" tee (Zulily,$17)

All of these tees are definitely something I'd wear. I love the movie A Nightmare Before Christmas so the first tee would be perfect for me. And yes I am a nightmare before coffee. LOL The resting witch face tee would be the perfect match for the coffee mug I gave away on my recent giveaway. This tee describes me completely and now I have to have it. Boo Y'all is such a cute tee because it sounds like something we'd say down here in the south and it's just so darn cute. The pumpkin spice tee I threw in because it says the words pumpkin spice and who doesn't love those words right now?! The last one is a personal favorite of mine because The Wizard Of Oz is my favorite movie of all time and I love anything that's related to the movie! Plus this tee is super cute and fun. I've linked some more Halloween tees that aren't pictured HERE so you should certainly check those out. Who knows, you could find the perfect one for you ;)

Aren't these tees super cute? Which one is your favorite? Have you seen a Halloween tee lately with a funny saying on it? What was it? 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 love Halloween. I hope you have an amazing week and happy shopping :)

3 Ways To Wear Those New Fall Booties

Who's excited that fall is finally here? I know I sure am! I love everything about fall from the wonderful pumpkin spice drinks to the cooler light sweater weather. Unfortunately here in Texas it's still too hot to wear a sweater but I started wearing my new fall booties as soon as the temperatures dropped into the 80s. Yes you read that right...80s in October!! It's not all bad I guess. At least I won't be cold in my Halloween costume this year at the Renaissance festival. LOL. Seriously though, I am obsessed with my new booties and I'm wearing them with everything! Have you purchased your new pair of booties yet? What are you planning to wear them with? There are so many different ways to style a pair of booties but there's 3 in particular that I think are the cutest and best ways to show off your new fall footwear....

#1-Dress

I think booties look so pretty when paired with a dress especially a shirt dress like the one pictured. Booties can take something simple like a casual dress and make it a bit more dressy. You can wear booties with almost any style of dress except formal. I haven't attempted to wear my booties with any type of formal attire but I know it wouldn't look good so I'll stick with the casual and day dresses with these cuties. For my example I chose the perfect pair of cognac booties for fall and styled them with a belted plaid shirt dress and a cute tan purse. This is the perfect outfit for a lunch date with friends. I've linked all the items in the picture HERE.

#2-Skinny Jeans

I love the way booties look with skinny jeans! In fact, this is my favorite way to wear mine. It's the perfect casual look for fall when paired with a cute top or sweater. Just remember that if the jeans are too long to roll them up to right above the top of the booties. You don't want to show off too much skin but you don't want your jeans bunching up at the ankles either. I chose the same cute booties and paired them with some skinny jeans and a really pretty sweater. This is the perfect fall activity outfit. I would wear this to the pumpkin patch or a fall festival. I've linked all these items HERE for you.

#3-Romper

Wait what?! A romper in the fall? Well yes of course, especially if it's still 80 degrees where you live. HAHA I think a cute pair of booties makes any fall romper look a little more dressy. You can always throw on a pair of tights for when it gets a little chilly and the outfit still works. I love rompers but I have yet to buy one for fall...this needs to change asap. For my example I picked the same pair of booties and paired them with a beautiful floral long sleeve romper and a tan purse. This is a great outfit to wear out on a date with your sweetie. I've linked all these items HERE. 

Aren't these booties adorable? You could actually wear them for 3 different activities in one day if you change your outfit. How awesome is that?! Which of these styles could you see yourself wearing? I would wear all 3 myself! Is there a way that you'd style your fall booties differently? I'd love to hear from you so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Be sure to snag yourself a pair of booties if you don't already own some and spread the love by sharing this post with all your friends. I hope you have an amazing weekend and happy shopping :)

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 :)
