Fab Finds

Spring has brought many new trends including bright colors, Floral print’s and a new post segment called “Fab finds”

SPLURGE:

these I bought from the Gap

Here

DSCN0751$59.95*

Gap was pretty much overflowing with colored denim, Pants & shorts, they’re a splurge but gap has not yet let me down.

SAVE:

These from Target are a challenge because They can’t seem to stay in stock, there’s limited sizes and they are TIGHT so if you are lucky enough to find a pair go up 2-3 sizes from normal.

Mossimo Supply Co. Juniors Skinny Denim - Assorted Colors$22.99*

Here

$44.50*

these from American Eagle are more of a Bo-Ho, boyfriend style than skinny, so they fit looser.

Found here

I’m obsessed with colored denim jeans and 2012 spring trends!Let me know if you SPLURGE or SAVE.

Bunnies and Bows

Our Easter lunch was...well "Eastery", with the pink, green and yellow table decor.
We had ham, green beans, scalloped potatoes and "green stuff". Yes, green STUFF, it's delicious!
especially with the bunny on top.
My Martha Stewart side kicked in when my Mom asked me to set the table:
I tied yellow & white polka-dot ribbon around the silverware and found a yellow Gerber-daisy to match and act as the center piece.
My outfit of choice was a red dress, necklace and ring (H&M) and brown and gold wedges (Payless).
HAPPY EASTER
XOXOXO
