I like my girls in neon and my boys in pearlsnaps!
I don’t know what it is, but I am LOVING all of the neon this year. It is very summer, warm weather and I honestly would wear it every day if I could! With trends though – I refuse to spend the big bucks on clothes. You will find me at target, old navy, tj maxx/marshalls and any other sales rack! Below are some great neon finds on a budget!
1. Old Navy Skinny Jeans (bright rose) 2. Neon Print Top 3. forever 21 blue dress 4. Neon pink heel 5. blue and orange bracelet 6. emerald neckalce
Now for the boys. Ok… I am going to get real here for a second… I am from the south, I love a rugged manly man, I love cowboy boots and pearl snaps. Don’t take my word for it – have you heard of Marlboro Man?
Luckily The Mister is cool with my buying every pearl snap I see – and I will tell you a secret here, Goodwill and Thrift Stores are the BEST places to find the legit, vintage shirts. I do a quick flip through the shirts every time I go!
Here are a few others out there!
1. Old Navy – Navy pearl snap 2. Lucky Brand Orange Shirt 3. Fossil White shirt 4. American Eagle Plaid 5. Wrangler Pearl Snap
Happy Shopping!

Good morning and let me just say… happy birthday to me!!!
I will admit it.. I am one of those girls that LOVES my birthday! I love spending time with family and friends and I love doing something special, even if it is a nice dinner and a cake. I will be honest and say that those people that say – “eh, I don’t care to do anything for my birthday” have to by lying right?. Don’t you think they are DYING for someone to jump out and surprise them with a party!
This weekend we are heading out of town to North Myrtle Beach. I plan to go to Fat Harold’s and do a little shag dancing, maybe get some amazing seafood, go to the Kate Spade outlet hopefully take in some UVs! ah, relaxation!
The Mister and my mom have been asking me what I want for my birthday. This year I know exactly what I need…. RAIN SHOES – or BOOTS!
A few weekends ago The Mister, my family, some friends and his family went to Merle Fest. I LOVE this festival – bluegrass, blues and folk music all outside and tucked in the NC mountains. Every year so far has been perfect…. But this year… it rained. That constant, annoying rain.
This is a snapshot of our Saturday:
I had on tennis shoes, sneakers, tenny’s… Basically it was awful. My shoes, socks, jeans and feet were SOAKED – next time I will be prepared with my rain boots , or rain shoes (I’m still deciding).
Shoes
1. Chooka Yellow Shoes 2. Ugg Rain shoes 3. Hunter rain shoes 4. crocs jellies 5. hunter rain shoes 6. dav rain shoes
Boots
1. Teal Chooka Boots 2. cowboy rain boot 3. red Hunter boots 4. target snake print boots 5. animal print hunter boots
What do you think? Do you have a favorite?
Here are some quotes for a rainy day!

Some people look forward to the Oscars each year to catch a glimpse of Hollywood glamour. I, on the other hand, have always enjoyed the Met Gala far more than any hyped up awards ceremony. It’s a night where celebrities, socialites, athletes and artists come together in a night of risk taking fashion. This years theme was “Punk” and I thought I would share some of my personal favorite looks of the night as well as some tragic misses.

Nailed It:
Nicole Richie, I mean…come on? She gets it. She just does. If you are interested in this stuff at all then you should look up some of the images of her manicure from the night. Details. I want to be friends with her and possibly carry her around in my pocket or something (not in a creepy way….just clarifying that). Cameron Diaz: This dress reminds me of the white Tom Ford dress that Gwyneth Paltrow wore to the 2012 Oscars. I was a fan of that dress and I am definitely a fan of this one. Loved the belt she paired with it but I was wondering if it made embracing anyone difficult. SJP: What a crazy effing outfit? Amirite? But, she pulled it off….it works because she owns it and she understands how to have fun with fashion.
Details:
Anja Rubik totally channeled 80’s punk and I love everything about this look! Mary Kate Olsen: Say what you will, but she is always true to her style. Her Balmain coat makes me want to lounge around in an apartment in Paris with a glass of champagne or dirty martini. Just sayin’. Kristen Stewart: Her killer makeup made this look. MADE IT. Anne Hathaway: Thank you trying something new. I’m not a fan of the feather sleeves, but you look great.
Failed It:
Beyonce: No. I’m sorry, just no. Kim Kardashian: OK, here we go…..I am almost hesitant to even say anything because I honestly think she is treated unfairly in the press about her weight. But, why? Just why? First, what is this print? Second, why the gloves…..for the love of Holy Fashion….WHY the gloves?! Third, you are a beautiful woman but the things you wear are making you look much larger than you actually are. Why not loosen the clothing a little and show off some of your ample bust line instead? Furthermore, why aren’t your family and friends telling you this? You may need to questions some relationships in your life. I will say that, as always, your face looked beautiful and your makeup was flawless. The end. Katie Perry: Not sure what’s going on here but am curious to know the “Punk” interpretation. Heidi Klum: Ill fitting.
So, that’s about it. Not that you guys care about my opinion but I generally enjoy this stuff…..can’t wait to see Fashion Police this week! What were some of your favorites?
