Hello, everyone!

Happy Friday!  I hope you had such a great week!  I got so much done this week and am finally starting to get into the groove of things here in Raleigh!  We finally have some furniture!  We got our sofa in, and I love it, except they sent us the wrong sectional.  They sent us the exact same one we wanted, but it's the reversed version.  So, we'll have to get that taken care of soon!  We have some fun plans this weekend!  We'll probably go out to dinner tonight (because I'm tired of cooking - lol).  There's so many great places within walking distance from our apartment - this was one of the things I loved the most about our location!   Tomorrow, Raleigh is apparently bringing in the world's longest water slide!  They are shutting down some of the streets and having this big thing!  On Sunday, we'll probably do some food trucks - which I always love!  I hope you have some fun plans!

Anyone else a fan of casual Fridays?? Well, right now everyday is casual for me since it's summer and I'm a teacher!  No complaints from me! :) But, I love a good excuse to throw on some jeans and sandals!  I especially love my Birkenstocks!  They're super comfortable, and add the right touch to any outfit.  They have so many fun styles, I guarantee you can find something you like!  

I have been wearing this stripe tank nonstop lately!  I find myself throwing it on just to run a few quick errands.  I definitely need to stock up in some more thin, casual tanks for the warm weather here!  

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a fabulous weekend! :)

HAPPY FRIDAYY!!! 

Hello everyone!  We made it to Friday!  Can you tell I'm a little excited! ;)  It's been quite a week.  I played in a fundraiser basketball game Wednesday night for our school against the Harlem Wizards.  They pretty much put on a show the whole time like the Harlem Globetrotters do.  It was really fun!  I didn't air ball this year (embarrassing), but I did get called out and made fun of for missing a shot!  I had to dance and shake my "boom boom" until I made it - also embarrassing, but so funny! I was so exhausted the next day.  I used to play basketball all the time, but I am definitely not in full court basketball shape anymore.    

I am all about the cold shoulder top trend lately.  There's so many cute styles out there, too!  This one has adorable cut outs and patterns and bell sleeves!  And here's the best news, it's under $30!  I can't wait to get so much wear out of this top this spring and summer!  Another one of my favorite parts of this outfit is the shoes!  I have had my eye on these lace-up sandals for awhile now.  And by awhile, I mean like months.  I decided to finally pull the trigger, and I'm so happy I did!  They're ridiculously comfortable, and this is coming from someone who tends to complain pretty frequently about my feet hurting in heels.  I was also able to find a dupe for these that are less than $30!  They come in a bunch of fun colors, too!   

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you have a great weekend! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday!  How was your weekend? I hope it was great!  We had a super busy and fun weekend!  Our anniversary is this coming Wednesday, and my boyfriend surprised me with all kinds of fun plans on Saturday!  He got us amazing seats for the Pacers Playoff game in Indy on Saturday.  That was amazing!  Such a cool atmosphere!  Then, we went to my favorite sushi place, Naked TChopstix.  Seriously, it's amazing!  They have a special roll called King Kong that no other place has - at least not that I've found - believe me, I've asked! :)  Then, we were able to meet up with some of my favorite people in Indy!  Such a great night!  Not to mention, the weather was amazing!  

Okay, first of all, please excuse the pale, white, winter legs.  They obviously haven't seen much sun yet this year. :-/
So, my bf is not a fan at all of the overalls.  But, he says that if I like them, then I should wear them.  And that's what I intend to do! :)  It was so hard for me to find overalls that fit, because I have such a long torso.  Seriously, I've tried on so many pairs that were uber uncomfortable in all the wrong places.  Then, I found these from Forever21 for under $30!  I decided to go up a size than what I probably needed for length purposes.  I still have to make the adjustable straps pretty long for them to fit, but they work for me!  It's great to dress them up with some cute sandals!  

Thanks for stopping by!  Make it a great week! :)

Hello everyone! 

And Monday is back again!  How was your weekend?  Ours was super relaxing, which was just what we needed!  We spent some time with friends and lots of time relaxing/napping!  No complaints here!  Now it's time for 4 days of school this week, then over a week off for Spring Break!  Yay! :) I'm also super excited to head home this weekend to see my fam that I haven't seen for a while!  It's about to be a great few weeks!

This gingham top is a must have for spring this year!  This one is a really great fit, and it's under $25!  Also, these white jeans are my new fave! I got them last week at H&M for under $10!! Yes, you read that correctly.  They are a tab bit see through, but considering I did only pay $10 for them, they are pretty good quality!  Unfortunately, they are nowhere to be found online for some reason!  I linked a similar pair, but I guarantee if you look in store sometime soon you will find some of these exact ones!  Also, let's talk about how excited I was to finally be able to bust out these fringe heels!  We all know how much I love fringe! This cognac color is difficult to find, but I was able to find them here for around $50.  There are a lot of other really fun colors, too!  And they seem to be pretty comfortable so far!  I'll definitely be wearing these a lot this spring/summer!  

Thanks for stopping by, and make it a great week! :)

Hello everyone!

Did you have a good weekend?  My boyfriend and I had a nice, relaxing weekend.  We had dinner with some friends Saturday night, then church on Sunday!  We also started watching the Netflix series "Making a Murderer."  Have you watched it?  I was hesitant to start it since I've been hearing so many mixed opinions about it.  Everyone told me that I would just be so upset while watching it, so I wasn't really sure if I even wanted to bother.  But, my curiosity got the best of me! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it! 

This outfit is pretty simple and casual, but that's why I love it!  This turtleneck dress is so soft and warm, and it's less than $20!  Also, this is a retailer that I trust and have ordered multiple items from.  I haven't had an issue at all.  I have always been such a fan of Baublebar and their amazing accessories - they are such great quality and seem to last forever!  This Firestone Collar is a current fave!  I love that it's a neutral color that can be worn with so many things!  For me, it was a no brainer!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great week! :)
