Renegade...

Hello my pretty friends! I have added two new favs to my jewelry box, although they are not there very much because they have found a pretty permanent spot on my wrist!

::Stella & Dot Renegade Cluster $59::

::Michael Kors watch::

My favorite thing about this bracelet is that it's a stretch bracelet so it's super easy to slip on and off, and I was pleasantly surprised by the weight because it's pretty heavy duty. I got it in both gold and silver to match my watch!

Stella & Dot is awesome because you can find a stylist in your area, host a party and get great deals on the jewelry you're lusting. If you're not the party hosting type you can simply set up an online jewelry party for you and your friends, let your friends order online and receive deals. Or just order for yourself on their website!

Sunday Smiles...

Happy Sunday! This weekend was wonderful, I went to a friend's engagement party & was asked to be apart of their wedding! I am so happy to see my friends starting their lives with some great guys :)

::Parties with great friends make me so happy::

Beach day...

Hi pretties! I am supremely jealous of people whose birthday falls in the middle of a white hot summer because what is more fun than a beach day birthday party? Well my birthday is in the Fall so I can tell you, it's not much. A girlfriend of mine always plans a beach day birthday party and it usually moves from day to night w/o much prep time in between. My advice for going from the beach to the bar seamlessly...

::H&M men's button down $17.95::

I love a men's button down for a cover up on the way to the beach, either borrow from your boyfriend or buy a one in a size large. If it's too fitted it'll look like your forgot your shorts.

::JCrew Ratti Regatta Shorts $98::

A cute pair of shorts (don't forget your unmentionables in case your suit is too wet to wear under your clothes) for later will pull your going out look together. 

Make sure to pack a great straw bag with all of your beach essentials & after the beach necessaries. Don't forget your beach towel & lots of SPF (you remember my sunglass tan line from last summer right?)

::Not Your Mother's Texturizing Sea Salt Spray $5.99::

This sea salt spray is my absolute favorite! It smells like coco nuts and gives your hair that perfect, "fresh from the beach" wave.

::JCrew Emery gladiator sandal $198::

Don't forget your sandals....duh


Since you have a fresh tan forget most of your make up, throw your mascara (travel size) and a statement neck or pair of ears to dress up your look later into your bag. And a wristlet to downsize.

::Baublebar Neon Aqua Bib $36::

Tie your button down over your shorts and put on your pretty necklace and enjoy yourself once the sun goes down!!

Sunday smiles {Monday Edition}...

Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday off in remembrance of all the men and women who have served our country & and are still currently serving! My late grandfather was in the service and always taught us the importance of patriotism & honoring our troops!

We've had a pretty relaxing weekend with the exception of Saturday because we went to a friend's wedding! It was absolutely beautiful and such an honor to be there! It's so nice to have a friend that, even though you don't see each other as often as you would like, when you do it's like no time has passed! 

::Dress/Express, Shoes/Guess?::

Farmers Market...

Milwaukee has a pretty stellar farmers market and fortunately for us it's open throughout the year due to being indoors (although it feels a little like cheating). The second you see the sign you know they took a lot of lead from the Pike Place Public Market in Seattle, WA but nothing compares to the joy that is Pike Place (first Starbucks store anyone?). Nonetheless it's imperative to be comfy-chic for a day roaming from vendor to vendor looking for treats & delights. Suggestions below

::Polo Jeans Company shirt dress $118::

::Kate Spade New York Bow Belt $68::

::TOMS Bimini boat shoe in yellow $59::

::Rachel Roy FEED India tote bag $78::

What shirt dress isn't complete without a brightly colored bow belt?! Matching TOMS making for easy walking and a canvas tote bag can house your purchases.

Sunday Smiles...

This week has been pretty busy with the acquisition of some projects at work & a presentation to upper management, Mother's Day is a pretty big deal in the jewelry world! But the weather has been looking up and it's been so nice to wear bright colors and no jacket without feeling like a crazy person.
