Friday Favorites...

Happy Friday all!!! This was the longest 3 day work week of my life!! It may have had something to do with having to come back to work mid-week from a 5 day vacation, but I'm just so happy its almost the weekend again, because I definitely use the time off again lol

I plan on working on more note cards and my sister's graduation invitations. I have some note cards to send out to some of my fellow bloggers as mentioned earlier this week. I order some beautiful Linen paper and pretty watermelon envelopes... I seriously love paper goods/products, it's almost sad lol

I assemble a rather large list all of my favorite things I've found on the internet this past week and mushed (is that even a real word?) them all together into a cute, little collage. I hope you all enjoy! 

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6* / 7 / 8

(Please excuse the amateur attempt at this collage, It was my first one for my F.F. & I definitely made it too small, sorry!)

Have a super stellar weekend all!!

love at first sight...

Okay so I've been scouring the internet for a truly amazing online store that will provide me with all the lovely items I am wishing to own and of course offer those items in my size for a reasonable price. Well, thank the fashion gods, because I'm pretty sure that I have finally uncovered that glorious site! The website is asos.com and let me just tell you that all my prayers have been answered!! The range of product is outstanding, as is the fact that there's free shipping. Both ways. Always. That's awesome!! So far I'm loving everything I've seen. They have a huge selection of clothing items as well as sizes[including plus size for all those curvy ladies, like my self out there], plus tons and tons of accessories and other bits and bobs us ladies love to have. I already order clothes twice this week off line from two other stores and I really shouldn't be buying anything but I really cannot stop myself from purchasing some really lovely items from asos.com. 

So in an attempt to prevent myself from purchasing items that I have no money for, I'm going to list the items I'm drooling over below. Maybe this way I'll be less tempted to purchase them knowing that I'm able to share them with you guys? That doesn't really make sense at all, and odds are, that after I'm done posting this, I'll end up purchasing the items currently waiting for me in my shopping cart! haha oh well, you only live once right? 

 

 

Have a lovely Thursday evening all!!

Love that Lavender Blonde..

I was crazy busy yesterday driving all over north jersey running errands with mi madre. And it was not fun! The weather was beautiful, but it was 100˚ degrees outside and the air was sooo thick; it felt almost impossible to even breathe! I just wanted to relax in the nice cold A/C, or even in my pool if it was open.

 Most of the errands we ran were for my mom's business. She runs an A/C, Heating and Refrigeration Business, so the summer is crazy busy for her. Especially on days like yesterday where the temps were reaching 100˚ degrees!! The phone was ringing off the hook! I honestly don't know how she manages to do it all, literally! Between running her business, taking care of household duties and than running kids all over the place for their activities, she's definitely super woman!

    After we took care of all the business stuff, we headed to K&G Fashions, a discount clothing store that sells mostly suits for men, woman and children, plus evening wear. We have a family wedding to attend on June 18th & 19th, so my mom had some shopping to do for her self. I went about the store on my own, just looking around for anything interesting.

     Then as i made my way further threw the store, I came across the bags and purses(my favorite section, along with shoes!) And I found the most amazing bag since betsey johnson's bags lol it's black with gold studs!! my favorite style! I love the edginess of it. And it vegan-friendly!! WIN!! The bag is made by Urban Expressions. I've never heard of them before, but being the vegetarian that i am, I love to vegan-friendly accessories and clothing! Definitely going to be looking them up on the interweb! 

Have you heard of Urban Expressions before? Do you buy/support vegan-friendly products? 

     

june first!

     Such a lovely, lovely day it is today! Ahhh, the first of June! its just rolls of the tongue with such ease and happiness! Summer is officially in full swing and I seriously could not be more pleased! So what comes along with summer other than, no school and trips to the beach? That's right, LOTS of cute summer clothes and accessories!! Shopping for a summer wardrobe has to be one of my most favorite things to do when summer finally rolls around. Although my wallet my not always be so happy, it's definitely an investment toward making summer fabulous!

     My absolute favorite summer pieces are sun dresses and wedge sandals! I buy loads of them each summer, year after year, they never cease to deliver! They're simple and always affordable! My two favorite things when it comes to choosing a wardrobe! I also have a weakness for sunglasses, flip flops, huge tote bags, and fun accessories for my hair! This summer I'm actually attempting to make my own hair accessories! Its been working out rather well so far, once I master making them I'll post some photos!

     Target is my go to store for absolutely everything! I'm there probably two to three times a week! I have a slight addiction, you could say lol Any who, Target offers awesome deals on summer staple pieces that you just can't live without! So instead of paying those outrageous department store prices this summer, try the wallet friendly alternative and still look amazing! Also, some other great priced stores are, Forever 21, H&M, Love Culture and even Walmart has some great finds for great prices! So be sure to check those places out for your summer wardrobe!

     Another great source of inspiration is lookbook! Its an awesome website where tons and tons of the most fashionable people post pics of there fabulous outfits! I love visiting lookbook and becoming inspired by what people post. It makes getting dressed in the morning afternoon more fun lol So I highly suggest looking around lookbook for some summer inspirations for your wardrobe. Here's some of my favorites from lookbook that I found earlier...
