Monday 3.14

So excited to be wearing my new top from Talbots! It has green, pink and purple--all favorite colors of mine (I pretty much love all colors!). I easily have 3 other cardigans that I could pair with this top. Yay for versatility :)

Shopping Hodgepodge

I gave up sugar for Lent and I think I'm satiating my sugar craving with shopping! I went to Hallmark and bought what I thought would be enough greeting cards to get us through mid April. This includes 2 Baby Shower cards, 1 1st birthday, 1 Christening, 1 Wedding Card and an Anniversary card for J. However I totally forgot to buy my niece and father-in-law's birthday cards! Eeeep. I love traditional greeting cards--my first job was at a Hallmark store in our local shopping mall.

I also picked up a cute new top at Talbots. On sale plus another 30% off! Total cost was just under $20.00.



This top will really go with quite a few items in my wardrobe, including my denim pencil skirt from Talbots.

I also picked up more dining linens (this is a sick obsession of mine!). These napkins are from the Dillard's Clearance Center.



What are your shopping obsessions?

I'm itching to go shopping, but I'm am trying to shed lbs., so I don't want to buy too much. I already have a Lilly skirt that I bought a month ago that is too big. I could probably get it taken in, but I think I'll wait to see where I end up.

Tuesday 3.8

Opps! I forgot to take a picture for Monday. I wish I could say I made up for it with a stellar photo of an amazing Tuesday outfit. However, I'm pretty disappointed in my outfit. Tucking shirts into slacks never look right on me (however skirts don't bother me?), but I do it anyways. Sorry for my negativity--here's hoping tomorrow's outfit is better!

My Birthday Weekend!

J and I celebrated my 33rd birthday on Amelia Island. It's a little less than an hour from Jacksonville, but really feels like a world away from our everyday life. We stayed at the amazing Addison on Amelia and dined at some great places. If you are interested in reading more about where we went, check out my list on Yelp. When we weren't eating or enjoying the Addison (including an intense Scrabble game while on our balcony), we poked around an antique market, 2 bookstores, and watched some locals play in their Petanque league. It was just the relaxing weekend we needed!

Tuesday 3.1

Happy Birthday month to me!! :)

I love this outfit. I felt confident and put together all day. This marks the debut of my Boden-inspired top. This is EXACTLY how I wanted to style it!! I would love to hear other suggestions though...
