In My Closet...Hippie Chic

Aren't you GLAD the day is almost over?  As we inch closer to the weekend (YAY!), I am hoping to put my floppy hat to good use.  Bought it a few weeks ago and haven't had a chance to wear it.  I love it because it has the perfect amount of "flop" and the color is such a rich brown.  I'd LOVE to pair it with some white/ivory pieces for a perfect summer look.  Kinda modern. Kinda hippie-ish.  Gotta love the 70's trend right now!  

I will be adding the satin ivory vintage blouse and crochet cardigan to my online store once its up and running, but in the mean time, this is how I'd wear it if these were in my closet...

Hat: Target / Satin Blouse & Crochet Cardigan: Vintage / Shorts: J. Crew / Jewelry: Forever21 / Boots: Guess

In My Shopping Bag...

Good morning my sweeties! I gotta say - I had a fantastic weekend. How about you?  Kind of sad it ended so quickly, but I am always excited to see what next weekend has in store for me. Besides Mother's Day, we did a whole lot of NOTHING. Yay!  Never thought doing nothing would make me happy, but it was nice to have some downtime with my husband, relax, get my chores/errands finished early, and prep for Monday morning. {Sigh} AND we have clean sheets and towels which always makes me oh-so-very giddy.

On Saturday I spent the day shopping with the ladies for Mother's Day and we did some damage.  Mom got a purse, blouse, a watch, and a navigation system from my brother and I.  Love that lady!  Seriously, I had to refrain myself SO many times from buying EVERYTHING in sight.  This is what happens when you don't shop on a regular basis.  It just builds up inside you and when you DO get out, you go nuts. Does that ever happen to you??

Ok...so I did go a little wild BUT (and you will be happy to know) that EVERYTHING I bought was on sale. The sales for Mother's Day were ridiculous...ALL thanks to awesome rockstar MOMS.  So, I thought I'd share my goodies with you. Brace yourself. It's pretty awesome and you may experience a bit of jealously after reading this.  That's ok. I would be jealous of me too.  Enjoy my loves!

Fashion Fridays: Hats off to the Royal Family

Hats off to the Royal Family!  Did you stay up all night to watch history in the making?  I did not.  Sleep was calling my name. BUT, I did catch it on my DVR this morning.  What a beautiful sight to see.  They really are a beautiful couple and I think Kate is stunningly fit for her "Princess" title.  I watched a short clip where they met at the end of the aisle and Prince William turned to her, smiled, and whispered "you look so beautiful." Awww...so sweet. (sigh)

I had to feature some of the most amazing hats and headpieces at the wedding. Which one would you most likely wear?  Which one was your least favorite? I LOVE the first two the most.
