Hey, y'all!  I hope your week is going fabulous!  Mine has been pretty busy, but sometimes that's a good thing!  I'm getting excited for the 4th of July this weekend!  Do you have any fun plans?  We are looking forward to seeing what Raleigh has to offer!  We are planning on heading somewhere to watch the fireworks!  If you're from the area and have any recommendations, make sure to let me know below in the comments!  

I always try to make sure to remember the real meaning of this day and not get wrapped up in all the fun festivities.  It's important to keep it all in perspective.  With that being said, I like to celebrate the holiday and wear some fun clothes!  There are so many different ways you can dress for this holiday!  Even if you just simply choose to wear red, white, or blue, you'll still look festive!  I made sure to put some of my favorite solid color tops in the collage above!  I especially love this off the shoulder chambray top!  It's a little pricey, but I can guarantee you'll get good wear out of it even after this weekend!  Then, you can add another pop of color with your accessories!  Statement earrings are all the rave right now.  I have these blue fringe earrings and love them!  They're lightweight, and I wear them so often!  

If you're feeling super festive, combine multiple colors together and add some stars and stripes!  This bathing suit is adorbs, and I would totally wear it all throughout summer!  You could definitely get all of these pieces by this weekend if you choose an express shipping option!  However, I guarantee any clothing store you walk into will have festive, holiday gear for you to choose from!  Just have fun with it!  

I'd love to hear about your weekend plans!  Comment below to let me know what fun you're looking forward to!  Thanks for stopping by! :)

Happy Friday, friends! 

I hope your week was great!  Mine was exhausting (again), so I am so thankful for the weekend!  I  was able to make some time for a few happy hours this week - yes, I said a few.  No judgements. :)  Sometimes all you need after a rough day/few days is some time to relax and chit chat with your girls.  That was exactly what I needed this week!   It was just an added plus that the weather was pretty great, so we were able to sit outside on the patio!  Bring on that summer weather!  

I recently got this sweater ($40ish) on sale, and I love it!  It's not longer available online in this color, but they still have a black color available!  I love the high slit on both sides, and it's really comfortable!   I love that is seems to just flow whenever I walk.  I am also all about these yellow fringe heels that I recently got!  This fun color is perfect for spring and summer!  They are actually fairly comfortable, too!  I wore them to a wedding last weekend, and I don't have any complaints from my feet!  Plus, even if they did hurt a little, I would probably still wear them because I love them that much! :)  I was so tempted to get them in the red color, because it is so bright and vibrant in person!  I decided to go out of my comfort zone a little and go with the yellow - I'm so glad I did!  

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

Happy Friday, friends!

Phew!  What a week it's been!  The end of the year craziness has officially hit!  We officially have less than 30 days left of school, and I just know that time is going to fly by!  Side note, I just got done watching "The Blacklist," and I've literally been sitting on the edge of my couch the entire time.  I bawled my eyes out like a baby, but I seriously love this show!  Every week it is SO good!  This weekend I am heading back home for the wedding of my good girl friend!  It'll be so great to see her on her special day and, of course, always good to see my family!  Oh, and I guess it'll be pretty good to finally get to see my boyfriend, too! ;)

I am all about the statement earrings if you haven't noticed yet from my recent posts!  These flower drop earrings are one of my favorites!  They are super light weight and the perfect color for spring.  I have to admit, I've never really been a white jeans person.  I could never really find a pair that fit me right, and they never looked good on me.  Who would have thought that this pair under $20 would change my mind!  And plus, when I inevitably spill something on them, I won't be too upset since they were only $20! ;)  

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

Happy Friday, friends! 

I simply cannot contain how happy I am!  Today is officially our first day of Spring Break and the first day of a week off from school! To add to the happiness, I am heading home this weekend to see the fam for Easter and some friends that I haven't seen in WAY too long!  It's just an extra plus that I get to spend the entire next week with my bf. :)  Can you tell I'm just a little excited? We are also heading to Raleigh next week for a few days to visit a friend and experience some warmer weather!  We are super excited to see a new city!  Any advice on things we must do or places we must see?  

These perfectly distressed jeans are a new purchase of mine, and at first I was a little hesitant about the wash.  They have more of an acid wash look in person than what they did online, and that really isn't my style.  At first, I was convinced to send them back.  However, I soon fell in love with the fit and have since warmed up to the wash.  I have another pair of jeans that are the same brand, and they fit perfectly!  These run true to size if you're going for the boyfriend jean look, but if not you probably want to size down. I have been trying to mix colors as much as I can lately.  I love the mixture of this red top with the turquoise necklace.  I can't wait to keep adding more colors into my wardrobe as the weather warms up!  

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great Easter! :)

Valentine's Day Inspiration

one // two // three // four // five // six // seven // eight // nine // ten

Valentine's Day is coming up, and I love seeing all of the pinks, reds, and hearts all over!  My boyfriend and I never really make a huge deal out of Valentine's Day, but that doesn't mean I can't love all of the cute items and decorations out there! 
I rounded up a few of my favorite things! I especially love these Moscow Mule mugs - which is a drink I just recently found out that I actually like! I have this beaded necklace, and it really adds a pop to any outfit!  

Have a great weekend! :)

Hello Wednesday, everyone!

Well, after a few days back at school, to say it's been difficult to get back into the swing of things would be an understatement. It's great to see my kiddos and all of my wonderful coworkers, but boy did I enjoy that time off! :) On a more positive note, I am feeling much more motivated for the second half of the year!  Let's do this!

The weather here in Ohio has been frigid lately!  Seriously, SO COLD!  Recess duty has not been fun. :) This coat and hat have been a lifesaver, though!  And are you ready for this?  This coat is currently only $60!  Unfortunately, this camel color is unavailable, but I do love the black and heather grey color!  The hat is less than $12 too!  Both are such good quality, and I highly recommend!  

Here's to hoping this week warms up a bit! 

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

xoxo,

Amy
