Sunburst

Hey loves! I am definitely enjoying summer and I just celebrated my birthday and it was pretty awesome:-) I just feel blessed to be able to celebrate another birthday and enjoy this lovely summer weather. Summer always makes me think about sunshine and this yellow blazer is like a big burst of sunshine. 

It is a very bold beautiful yellow, but looks different depending on what lighting I am in. I am a huge fan of stripes, so I paired them with this yellow blazer for a fun summer look. I recently organized my wardrobe and didn't realize how many striped tops I have, but I definitely wear them all. I don't like a lot of prints, but I have always been a fan of stripes, dots and leopard.

Summer and sunshine makes me smile, but I hate extreme heat. I think the perfect temperature is 75 or 80.

I love blazers and they are definitely a versatile piece to have in your wardrobe and you can dress them up or down. I have loved blazers ever since I was in high school

I love the retro look of this purse, but now I am about ready to retire it because I have had it so long and worn it so much that I am getting tired of it. Do you have items you wear so much that you don't want them anymore because you are tired of them?

I hope you are taking advantage of the beautiful weather and all of those bold gorgeous colors in your wardrobe. I love bold color all the time not just in summer. How about you?

Have an amazing day!

Stripes

Hey loves, hope you are having a good summer. It seems like it is going by so fast. Enjoying the milder weather because it is so much better to have blue skies and warm sunshine without scorching heat. My ensemble includes a mix of stripes bold coral and neutral colored pants. I have always loved stripes, dots and leopard and always find a way to incorporate them into my style.

I love these shoes and it is rare to find a closed toe strappy shoe. 

I have had this blazer for quite some time and of course I snagged it from the sales rack at Old Navy. It looks like a typical blazer in the front, but has some unique gathering in the back of the jacket.

 I am reflecting on what a great weekend I had. I went to a concert and had a great time with a good friend. It reminds me that no matter how busy we get, it is important to take a little time to enjoy ourselves. Don't you agree?

 This clutch was made by a friend and I and it is reversible and can be worn white and black or black and white. Truly a versatile piece. I love it!

It's been a minute since I posted a recipe, but I am really enjoying all the great produce available in the summer months, so I will be sharing some great salad recipes with you

 So much going on this summer, but enjoying every bit of it

 Have an amazing week!

Happy Monday loves! Hope you had a great weekend. I have been extremely busy, but also having lots of fun. With spring and summer come lots of fun events and this time of year I tend to get very involved in planning spring teas and attending women's high tea events.  I had a great time last year with my Audrey Hepburn Breakfast at Tiffany's inspired High Tea. You can see photos from last year, by clicking here.   I have a few coming up that I am really  looking forward to and I will be sure to post lots of photos:-) In addition to being a sports mom and my work projects, I am very busy in women's ministry as well. There are not enough hours in the day, but doing things that bless other people is priceless.

I am loving the beautiful sunny days and looking forward to wearing my bright spring and summer colors. The outfit I am wearing is a very simple denim and classic white shirt with a bright kelly green colored bag and nude heels. Classic and chic with the shoes and bag as the punctuation marks in my outfit.

Don't you love pretty jewelry? I know I do

I love the way the green stands out against everything else

 

 

Feeling so good these days

Would you believe these shoes are actually comfy? I am big on shoes that don't hurt my feet. These are another shoe in my collection that are ok to wear for extended time without aching feet.

Beautiful flowers blooming everywhere. Another thing I love about spring

I can't wait to share with you all some of the projects I have been working on. Stay tuned!

Have a great day!

Spring Sizzle

It is springtime in my life and I am loving every minute of it. I had an amazing mothers day with my family:-) How was your Mothers Day? Life is very unpredictable. For everything there is a season. We go through different seasons in our life and right now there is lots of vibrancy in my life and new things. There is nothing more amazing than when God answers your prayers in a very real and tangible way. He is amazing like that.

What I have been experiencing lately is joy, which is very different from happiness. Happiness is based on what is happening in your life and joy comes from a place deep in your spirit. I guess you could say, I am experiencing both and it is a great place to be:-)

Joy!

Today I am linking up with: Style Elixir , Lifes A Party Dress Like It, and I would so rock this

Have an amazing day!

Turquoise and Orange

Happy Wednesday! You have probably noticed me slacking a bit in my posts, but I would rather post thought provoking quality content less often than post garbage. I hope you understand.  I am thrilled you have been enjoying my recent posts and you will see more content about life because it is what I love to write and talk about.  

Today I am wearing a vibrant turquoise blazer I got at my local thrift shop for $2.00.  Such a great find and versatile too! Thrifting can be quite addictive, but I definitely think in this economy, shopping your closet and thrift stores is a great way to be financially savvy and stylish. What I love about thrift shops is that you can find so many unique pieces and many times brand new items with tags still on for unbelievable prices. Do you like thrifting? What are some of your favorite thrift stores?

a nude pump is so versatile

I usually wear this beautiful orange Dereon bag quite a bit in the summer, but I am getting into the habit of remixing spring and summer items and wearing them all year long

Blazer: Goodwill, Purse: Dereon, Pumps: F-21, Chains: first one vintage, second one is a chain I took off of an old handbag.

Have a great day!
