****The Long Weekend - What I Wore****

BIRD PRINT CROP TOP - H&M, AQUA SKINNIES - (Similar pair HERE), SUNGLASSES - H&M, CREAM STRAPPY D'ORSAY SANDALS - BCBG

It the beginning of a long weekend for me and I'm super excited.  Beach plans on Saturday giving me a chance to rock my new bikini from H&M.  Before I decided on the two piece did try on a neon, color blocked wetsuit sort of contraption that I fell in love with.  Unfortunately my arms were suffocating in it and they did not have a larger size....let the hunt begin and here's to a swift accomplishment as my 35% off coupon ends on the 27th. Also on my weekend agenda...a small handful of DIY projects....plus I desperately need to clean out my car.  

About the pictures...the scenery was taken (with my phone I might add) on a walk I took a couple weekends ago.  Its a super quiet neighborhood that has a small, never congested beach and the best view of the water. The outfit was just something I threw on in the spirit of a beautiful day last weekend.  I've managed to accumulate a few crop tops but never seem to wear out much.  I've started Pilates back up on account of bikini season and plan to put the midriff baring tops to use.  Hope you guys also have Monday off or more depending on what lucky gig you have and have a great weekend!!!!

****In Other News - What I Wore****

Mens Button Down - Denim & Supply, Tshirt- Forever 21, Shorts - Forever 21, Boots - Steve Madden(On Sale Now for $60)

A quick, rather exciting update.....I'M ENGAGED!!!!!

After almost 9 amazing years my boyfriend proposed and of course I said yes.  I'm in complete wedding inspiration mode and my Pinterest account is getting lots of play right now. While for now I will continue to pin anything of interest, I am contemplating creating a new blog but we'll see.  It has really surprised me how excited this step is making me....not that it shouldn't but being that I have never planned a party for anything I am all open arms with this large task. 

And in other news, I went a little button down crazy after making my shredded denim one that I love and picked up some great alternatives.  So easy to wear and they are the  perfect spring jacket alternative from wearing it with a cute dress to using it as a beach cover up.  This one I'm wearing here is now on sale if you're interested and I found my boots also on sale in blue, the color I originally wanted but couldn't get in my size.  Just click on the link in the outfit description to check 'em out.

Hope you had a great weekend!!!

****Sunday Casual 002 - What I Wore****

Outfit Details: Sweater-H&M, Denim Cut Off Shorts-Forever 21 (under $20 if you're interested..), Tassel Loafer Flats-BDG (similar pair here), Bag-Cole Haan, Jewelry-Naughty Baubles

The weather really perked up for me during my last few days of vacation and I definitely took the time to enjoy it. I probably say this every summer but living on the coast has its advantages.  I spent my Saturday and Sunday lounging in the yard with my Mom, taking long walks along this one stretch of coastline with huge houses and great views, developing a new obsession called Soul Calibur, making breakfast for my mom and best friend and I also did a little bar hopping Saturday night with the girls.  I took tons of pics that I promise to share soon and I still have some pictures to share from vacation.  Hope you guys had a great weekend and here's to a fast work week so we can all get back to the fun.

****Sunday Casual - What I Wore****

Sweater - I Heart Ronson (J C Penny), Scarf - H&M, Denim Leggings - Forever 21, Boots - Steve Madden, Bracelet - Naughty Baubles

Finally a warm day...or at least warmer than the bone chilling evenings we've been experiencing.  Still needed a touch of winter layers so I dug out my infinity scarf from H&M that I bought about 3 yrs ago.  Outside of random spouts of dress up during the guy's night out, this pastel knit beauty has never seen the light of day so I was happy to give its debut with my new favorite sweater. As part of my new budget friendly shopping behavior, the sweater only hit my wallet for a mere $7.  From the I Heart Ronson line at J C Penny, this baby is perfectly oversized and I love the sequin detailing.

This the last week of work before vacation and I can already feel my anxiety levels rise.  I just want it to fly by so I can get back to a relaxed state I only have dreams of now.  Work has a way of taking you from your happy place so to speak....unless that is you have the job you've always dreamed about and in that case I ENVY YOU....LOL

Happy Sunday and see you next post....

 

****Fashion Staples - What I Wore****

(shredded button down - DIY, leather leggings - XXI, boots - H&M, necklace - Naughty Baubles, clutch - Cole Haan)

I just can't seem to stop wearing my  DIY distressed denim shirt(If you want to learn how to make one for yourself) and leather leggings. Its made such a huge impression on what I enjoy wearing lately I just bought a few more men's button downs from Denim & Supply.  Apparently I've found my Spring staples and after doing a little spring cleaning I also managed to rediscover a necklace I made almost two years ago. Stay tuned as this twisted chain necklace may just find its way onto my Etsy Shop...

On a sad note, my phone was taken at work and its looking like my weekend will be without instant Pinterest/Tumbler/Gmail/Blogger updates, a whole slew of numbers I can't remember and I'm quite sure a bit of other information still unknown that I may one day need.  Insurance is replacing the phone to the tune of $125 but I still feel doubly violated.....nothing is ever easy when it comes to insurance

Anywho, its Saturday and that's reason enough to celebrate.  Enjoy it!!!
