You guys, I really don't have much to say today (shocker). Typically I am full of words, content, copy or whatever you call it in blog land. I am just stumped. Maybe it has to do with GNO on Rainey Street last night or maybe it's because my mind is elsewhere in regards to some news I got today. I ask that you say a prayer for healing....healing for a family that's been close in my life since I was a little girl. A tragic incident happened this week that is weighing heavy on my heart. So, thank you in advance for all the prayers you can provide; they need an immense amount.
What I will say is that I have been on a bit of a clothing spending freeze....until Tuesday. Zara was having their semi-annual sale and I just couldn't pass up this dress for $40. It had my name written all over it. It's a stand alone piece. The kind I have avoided lately. I am trying really hard to ONLY purchase items that I can remix and wear different ways, but I couldn't pass up this one up. It was love at first sight...the colors, style, scarf print and Bohemian vibe is right up my alley.
Sometimes you just have to suck it up and go with your gut....a gut that says THIS needs to be in your closet regardless of your fashion morals.
Have you found something lately that you REALLY didn't need, but felt like if you didn't buy it you were going to die? Tell me I am not alone.
*****************************************
Speaking of needing....you need to check out these ladies ASAP. I have become close to all three over the last several months.
Lauren from Fizz & Frosting is another go to when it comes to fashion and style. She finds the CUTEST stuff and pairs it in the most adorable ways. I wanted to steal this top right off of her blog post the other day. Looking for a few fun ways to style your hair for the summer? Look no further. And who couldn't love a girl for loving a summer maxi dress? Lauren is as sweet as she looks! This pretty lady is dedicated to blogging and going places. Add Fizz & Frosting to your reading list now.
Sandra, oh, Sandra. She is made of gold and so is her jewelry. How do I know? Well, I own a this bracelet and wear it with pride. Sandra with Litva's Jewelry is one you don't find every often. Why? Well, because with the statement necklaces rage and arm parties going on, she has stuck to her guns. She creates one of kind pieces that you WILL NOT find anywhere else. She is genius, eclectic and talented. Her pieces are made from the heart and with delicate detail. Go visit her shop today and snag yourself an authentic piece from her shop.
Nicole from Treasure Tromp will just make you want to switch lives....you'll know what I mean here. This girl packed it all up and is moving to Africa for a hot minute. WHAT????? Yeah, I know crazy!! Her free spirit of living just gets me....like I want to be her for a hot second. Ever since I started reading her blog, I was like, this girl is exciting, adventurous, willing to live...and that's what life is all about. I suggest that you immediately head to Treasure Tromp and follow her on her journeys and we can all live vicariously through her!
Happy weekend, folks!! If I haven't told you lately, I love you guys!!

That dress is GORGEOUS! And I love the way you layered the necklaces. You look AMAZING! You would have been straight up crazy not to buy that dress. :)
That dress is totally amazing and you look gorgeous. I can see why you got it. Why didn't I see this dress when I was in zara a few days ago!? Why don't we live close so that we can share clothes?? WHY?

I will be thinking of you & your family friend. =(
As for the dress...um, GIVE IT TO ME. NOW. I bought a scarf print dress from Zara last year...and it is a bit of a statement dress so can't be worn as much as I'd like but I LOVE it SO MUCH. And for $40...girl...you NEEEEEEDED it! =)
Hope you can relax & enjoy your weekend.
