Baby Prep

My baby niece/nephew (waiting on the sex) will be due in October. As the most excited Aunt on the planet, I've been doing some shopping. This has proven to be hard because my brother and his wife do NOT want to know their baby's sex. 

I can not tell you how BADLY I want to know if I'm having a niece so I can buy her....

1. Juicy outfits

2. Hair bows + ribbons galore

3. TuTu's

4. Pink glitter Toms

 (to match my silver glitters)

but... for now I am only buying a few things that are unisex!

Which brings me to my newest and latest purchase as an Aunt.

Baby Sperry's

I bought them in a size 4 (9-12months) 

Are these not the cutest shoes you have ever seen????

so presh <3

I'm also going to buy baby Toms shoes so me and my niece/nephew can be matchers..

I know... too cute for words right?

This is perfect since I also have a red pair!

I love baby shopping!

POLL!!!

1. What are your 3 fave Essie colors? I have Ulta & Target gift cards and I want to put them towards nail polish! :)

2. I'm almost done reading Dixieland Delight, which I'm loving btw, but now I need some new book recommendations!!! What should I read next?!?

3. Should I or should I not purchase the pink leopard Toms? Or.... should I get another 'classic' pair? I currently own the silver glitter, classic red, and classic navy. I really wanted the pink glitter Toms last fall but I convinced myself that a twenty-five year old should not attempt to wear them, so now I really want the pink leopard ones! What do you think?

Please give me your input, I'll love you forever! :))))

in living color

I was in ulta the other day and spotted the summer '11 Essie colors {how do I not have these already is the real question....}
 and it got me thinking about BRIGHT colors.

I'm kind of liking the bright denim skinnies by J Brand lately... but I only like the red or purple. 

I just don't know if I would spend $170+ on 'colored' denim.... white straight leg? you betcha..... dark rinse skinnies? absolutely... but colored denim? hmmmm not sure but I like them a lot!

I love love LOVE the red skinnies!! What do y'all think?

ps. I'm totally crushing on these right now... 

pink leopard Toms :)

Have a wonderful day my lovies!!!!

gearing up for the 4th!!!

I miss y'all soo much!!!! I'm so sorry for being such a terrible blogger lately! I haven't even had time to read my favorite blogs but that is all about to change. I have a lot to fill y'all in on from this past month. I recently went to San Diego and had my 26th birthday last week! I had such a good birthday and felt extremely blessed. I received lots of money and gift cards to my favorite stores. My mom gave me a Michael Kors watch (that I received early so I could wear while in San Diego) that I loveeeeee so much!

I love the Fourth of July mainly because I love summertime, fireworks and the colors red, white, and blue. I have been finding some awesome inexpensive finds at Old Navy, Forever 21, Lulus, and Target that I wanted to share with y'all.

cool as ice.

Right now I'm loving tie dye, chambray, and cool colors including teal & turquoise.

I recently acquired the new OPI color Austin-tatious turquoise seen here and I'm obsessed. I love the name, the sparkle and the perfect turquoise color. 

I'm also obsessed with the new tie dye Toms shoes. 

Might I add, that I'm also obsessed with Chambray skirts? 

Navy blue hunters? Yup, I'm obsessed with those too.

Don't get me started on the swimsuits. I have an addiction to those too.

What are you currently obsessing over?

Glitter Toms

I have an obsession and it's glitter. I also have another obsession and it's shopping. Third obsession? My family! I have 2 nieces and 3 nephews. My niece Haley just turned 11 years old and she thinks I hung the moon. Isn't that the sweetest? I've never had a little sister, so I love that she looks up to me and admires my style. 

I recently purchased the silver glitter toms back in August and I adore them! I happen to be a Dallas Cowboys fan and they are the perfect color to wear on game days! I secretly wish I had bought them in pink for myself, but I wasn't so sure I could get away with it. 

Fast forward to December where I begin Christmas shopping. I love shopping for my nieces and nephews! I decided to purchase Haley some of the pink glitter toms for Christmas AND my 4 yr old niece Emma will be getting the tiny pink glitter toms. How cute would that be? 

I can't wait to post pics come Christmas morning! As a fifth grader, I'm sure Haley will be stylin at school and I can't wait to see the look on her face when she sees that her favorite aunt has the same pair of glitter toms.

ps. Toms shoes will donate a pair to a child in need with every purchase! Such a good cause and they are so comfy!!
