Friday faves

Favorites from this week…

I bought these shoes.  And now I need to find some inspiration on the best way to style them.  A few days before, I was looking at the Steve Madden and JCrew versions of these.  I was so in love but I just didn’t want to spend $50+.  So when I happened upon them at Target for half price, it was love at first sight.  {Technically, it was second… but that just doesn’t sound as good.}

The best part?  I bought them with a gift card.  Actually, we had a gift card snow day date this week.  We saw American Sniper, ate the soup and salad lunch special at Olive Garden {to all my Italian friends + family, don’t kill me…} and picked up some fun things at Target.  And we spent a total of $6.  It was perfect.

Remember this sneak peak on Instagram?

Yeah.  Well, I just didn’t like it.  So I came up with a new logo.  And I’ve been using all these snow days to work on some new projects that I’m really excited about sharing soon.

My monthly goals force me to make a new recipe every month.  A snow day {a different one than the American Sniper date… we live in North Carolina, ok?}  is the perfect chance to make a new soup that your boss brought to Soup-er Bowl lunch, right?  But as I was juicing these limes, all I could think about was how much I wanted a margarita.

I’ve always wanted to create Instagram collages that don’t have the border separating the pictures.  {Don’t act like you don’t know what I mean.}

So I did what all adults do when trying to figure out Instagram.  I texted my college-aged sister.  And even she didn’t know.  So I googled that ish.  And discovered the solution is an app called Frame Swagg, if you’re wondering.  {And yes, swagg has two g’s.  Obviously.}

This week I had so much fun with my Fashion {experiment} week.  Feeling lost?  Catch up on the pattern mixing look, the sweater + dress thing and the sneakers with a “fancy” outfit.

Speaking of fashion blogging… you know you’re a fashion blogger / basketball coach when you have this many bags by the door.  #bagobsession

Go get Joey’s book on Amazon.  Now!  {It’s only $1.99}  I finally downloaded it last night and it’s a page-turner.  Plus she’s a self-published author so you gotta have some respect for that!

How was your week?  What do you have planned for the weekend?
