AFFORDABLE BRIGHT AND CHEERY SPRING FASHION PIECES

Yay!  Spring is here!  Today in lieu of Five Friday Favorites I have some cute clothes to share with you instead.  We are still on a weather roller coaster around here, but I've recently picked up a few new bright and cheery Spring pieces to push my wardrobe on through to sunnier days!   On a recent grocery trip to Walmart  this gingham trench style jacket totally caught my eye-   Gingham Trench Coat - already marked down!   ||   Medallion Sandals - under $20!  ||  Earrings   ||  Necklace  ||  Bracelets  ||  Ring- College Graduation Coin Ring! 😁 My Bathroom Details It's light blue and forest green, the prettiest combo and so versatile-  I wore it here to church one Sunday but it's also so easy to throw on over a t-shirt and jeans or leggings to instantly look put together when running errands.  It's a really thick cotton fabric (not actually water repellant, just the trench coat style) and I'm wearing a M which allows for plenty of room for layering underneath....

VALENTINE'S DAY ENTRY AND MANTEL DECORATIONS

Happy Friday... Happy February... happy all the things!  We've been iced in all week until our temps got high enough to melt everything off yesterday afternoon and the sun has been out, it's glorious!   I got our porch all decorated for Valentine's Day before the bad weather hit but took advantage of time time cooped up to sprinkle some little Valentine's Day decorations around inside.  I don't do much, I find myself focusing on some entry and mantel decorations for the most part and calling it good!  I actually kept the entry table very simple and just had some fun with the mirror! I found these small honeycomb hearts at Hobby Lobby with their Valentine's Day decorations.  They are actually sold as a hanging garland, connected with clear fishing wire.  I intended to leave them as is and just hang them streaming down the mirror, but the clear line was bugging me so I just cut it off.  I did find it helpful though to space the hearts pretty evenly, but I did som...

VALENTINE'S DAY PICKS FOR YOUR HOME AND YOUR STYLE

Valentine's Day makes me want to round up and pull out alllll the cute things!  I mean, you know I'm totally on board with a holiday where red and pink are the colors of choice! Today I'm sharing some of my favorite picks for your home and closet if you want to add a little something new to your Valentine's Day style.  Some of these are already favorites in my home, and a few are new things I'm "adding to cart" myself!  Pink Coffee Table Book  ||  Small Marble Petal Tray First up, here are some cuties to fluff your home for the season.  A themed pillow can add a sweet little touch even if you don't do any other kind of valentine decor.  I love all of these, and the one on the right side in the middle of the collage is actually reversible, so smart! I also love the ceramic heart houses I'm seeing this year, and the tassel garland and XOXO sign would make a darling mantel or entry table vignette in a flash!  These collages are interactive, just ...

2023 VALENTINE'S DAY FRONT PORCH DECORATIONS

It's hard to believe that Valentine's Day is just a little less than 3 weeks away!  I feel like I just packed up the last of my Christmas decorations.  Oh wait...  I DID just pack up the rest of my Christmas decorations!  I guess that's a benefit of putting Christmas away a little bit later, you can go straight to hearts and bows where there are empty spots from Christmas!  That's exactly what I did on the front porch, now it's all decked out and ready for Valentine's Day! Door Color:  SW Dignity Blue Faux Topiaries- At Home, similar  here ,  here , or here ||   Gingham Outdoor Rug  ( similar here )  ||  Heart Rug- Hobby Lobby or  similar here   ||   Gingham Ribbon   || Polka Dot Ribbon   ||   Similar Faux Wreath here or here    ||  Ginger Jars- Tuesday Morning (before Christmas)  I got these felt hearts several years ago from Dollar Tree and glued on some small pom poms.  So easy to tie on and make any plain wreath festive!  I saw Terri Anne post this large ...

HAPPY 2023 | LET'S CATCH UP!

Well hello, Happy 2023!  I popped in spur of the moment a few days ago to share some weekend bargains with you, but I'm considering this my first official post of the year.  Today I wanted to share a big wrap-up of some of our recent highlights.  I basically went back over the past few months on my camera roll so here's a big -mostly family stuff- recap!  Some of you have followed for so long and are always sweet to want to keep up with personal stuff, I'll be sharing a more project related update in the next few posts.   We take a day trip to the Dallas/Fort Worth area a few times a year just to get away and shop a little.  I'm glad to have a willing chauffeur who happily hangs out in the car while I pop in and out of stores- ha!  This time we drove to McKinney on our way home to stop for dinner.  They have the most charming town square with the cutest shops!  We got there as most stores were closing so I was disappointed not to be able to go in, but we definitely wan...
