Sunday Social Week 4

It's Sunday Funday! And it certainly has been for me! I got a great workout in this am, met up with the rents for breakfast and spent the day running errands. Now I'm out enjoying this beautiful weather and will be cheering on Olympic hopeful Jordyn Wieber :)

I'm loving linking up with Neely & Ashley for Sunday Social. They have fun topics and this week is one of my faves- SHOPPING! 

What is your favorite store to shop at? 

Some may laugh but I love Old Navy & Target. I can always find something and they're reasonably priced. I like J Crew too!

If you could afford anything and everything, which designer brand would you covet? 

J Crew, Lauren Conrad, Ralph Lauren, & Sarah Burton (Alexander McQueen). 

JCrew, Fall 2008

Kate Middleton's Wedding Dresses, Designed by Sarah Burton

Paper Crown by Lauren Conrad

Must have closet staple?

J Crew tees, Old Navy Active wear and shorts. 

Favorite kind of shoes?

I wear a size 3 in kids. Yep in KIDS! Sometimes I can wear a 5 in woman's. It's very hard to find fashionable shoes but this fall I found my favorite pair of boots by Fitzwell. I also love TOMS because I can wear the kids size and get them for $40 ;)

 

Best clothing deal you've ever gotten? (sale or amazing find)

I would have to say a pair of TOMS I found at a garage sale. They had only been worn once and the girl didn't like them. (10 year olds have NO style). I got them for $5.

Style you'd love to try?
I wish I could wear Maxi dresses. They look so comfortable but I'm too short and curvy for them.

WILW: Guest & Jewelry

Happy Happy Wednesday!!! 

I'll be honest, I'm going through some tough emotions right now. So I'm not really feeling to happy, go-lucky. But There are a few things I can talk about for What I'm Loving Wednesday :)

First off, I had the wonderful opportunity to be a guest on Laura's Blog! She is seriously amazing because she is freaking hilarious and says/writes/thinks all the things I want to say to people but never can. Go check out the blog and post NOW because they are AWESOME!

I'm a huge believer in retail therapy, however I can't afford shopping for professional looking things. Until I learned about Ashly Jo Jewelry Auctions. This amazing jewelry is discounted on Monday and Wednesday nights AND there is free shipping! Here are the pieces I bought this week :)

 

While I was on my shopping kick I also checked out some of my Pinterest finds for some inspiration...

 

Where I came across the company Vintage Faerie. I am in love with their pieces because they can be customized or not and they are simple and classic. 

And then I really looked at my budget and realized I should look for some things that are less expensive. American Eagle is my go to place for jewelry because they are always having a sale or I have a coupon and their return policy is great! (Jewelry can be really hard to size and AE takes anything back!) 

That is What I'm Loving and I hope you like the pieces too! Where are your jewelry hot spots? I'm looking for inspiration!
