Friday's Fancies: Stripes!

The theme for this week's Friday's Fancies was stripes and if you've been reading this blog for any length of time, then you know I LOVE stripes, so obviously I was totally in!!! My biggest problem was narrowing all of the striped goodness out there down to a single outfit...


A simple, easy outfit to throw on for anything: brunch, shopping, a casual dinner, running errands. All classic silhouettes with a few trendy touches. I love crisp white and navy together, and naturally coral-pink is a perfect summery accent.

Happy Friday, lovelies!

Friday's Fancies: Easy Weekend

I've decided to start participating in a popular link-up in the fashion blogosphere, Friday's Fancies hosted by Alison at Long Distance Loving! I'm excited!

top//shorts (a steal!)//earrings//tote//shoes

How perfect is this outfit for any weekend occasion? The shorts could easily be switched out for skinnies or boyfriend jeans if it's a bit too cool for shorts, or the mini-wedges could be switched for a higher wedge for a lunch with girlfriends. I think the metallic thread in the shirt adds just the right amount of glam. I'd totally wear this outfit for a day of browsing the mall, antique shops, or even the farmer's market!

What do you have planned for this weekend? I have a bridal shower for a dear friend and sorority sister tomorrow, plus a bunch of errands. And I think I'll need to pick up a pair of those J. Crew Factory denim shorts because they're such a great price! Have a lovely weekend!!!

Happy Monday!!

 How delicious does this blackberry jam cake look? yum.

Hey friends! I hope you all had a nice relaxing weekend. I spent all of Saturday with an off-and-on migraine, which was so bad at one point that I nearly passed out while getting my nails done. So my weekend was pretty low-key since I didn't feel like doing much either day.

However, I'm feeling great today and ready to take on the week!

A happy little surprise waiting for me this morning was that sweet Amanda at Happy Asia Girl nominated me for a blog award! Isn't that just the sweetest thing?? I'm not quite sure how these work, so I think I just have to answer her questions, give you five facts about myself, and then nominate some other people. Well, I'm not going to nominate anyone, because I think everyone's already been nominated or doesn't have a blog (and because I can't pick favorites ever haha), but here's my 5 facts and responses!

5 facts about me:
1. I can bend my thumbs backwards.
2. I'm a middle child.
3. I read really fast.
4. I'm a total computer geek.
5. I've broken my nose twice.

Amanda's Questions:
1.) If you were a food what food would you be? 
 Something full of sugar and chocolate since those are essentially my two major food groups.  
2.) What is a secret goal that you have?
Hmm...I don't really think this is "secret", but I don't think a lot of people know that I want to eventually open my own boutique!  
3.) Tell us about your car (or public transit of choice)
I drive a green Saturn SUV and I love it. I love it even more now that it has two shiny new Auburn stickers on it. 
4.) All time favorite vacation?
My family took a cruise to the Caribbean and Mexico for Christmas one year...it was amazing.  
5.) Describe your perfect Saturday
Super lazy morning spent all snuggled up in bed and probably watching Food Network, followed by lunch and a day at the spa.
6.) 3 words to sum you up
food, silence, sleep.
 7.) Favorite member of your family (answer at your own risk)
Dad. I am a total, unashamed Daddy's girl.
8.) Favorite quote?
"The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous."-Carrie Bradshaw
9.) what would your friends say your catch phrase is?
Hmm...probably 'bless' or something equally weird.
10.) speaking of catch phrase, which category do you rock at?
All of them. I am an intense Catch Phrase player. If you're friends with me, it's probably because we haven't ever played Catch Phrase together.
11.) Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Welllll....hopefully married, or at least dating some cute guy, with a job that I love and I'm successful with and I'm happy!

Sunday Social Link-Up!

 1

Today I'm doing a fun little link-up, courtesy of Ashley at Ashley's Carnival Ride! She does a Sunday Social link-up each week and I thought these questions were a great way for y'all to get to know a few things about me.

Enjoy, and check out all of the other participants here.

1. What is the wallpaper on your cell phone?
Lock screen: gold clover/quatrefoil wallpaper from For Chic Sake (get yours here!). Home screen: Lilly Pulitzer print (not sure which one...I guess that makes me a bad Lilly-lover!)

2. What do you keep beside your bed?
Currently I have my humidifier, hand lotion, medicine, tissues and a scented oil diffuser...with a million other random things as well.

3. What is your least favorite chore?
All of them? Ha, kidding. I think my absolute least favorite would be scrubbing the shower. Ugh so horrible.

4. If you could eliminate one thing from your daily routine, what would it be?
Cooking. I would much rather have someone cook for me than spend my time cooking.

5. What do you do to vent anger?
Run or take a shower and just cry in the shower.

6. What is your favorite holiday of the year and why?
Saint Patrick's Day! One of the most underrated holidays, at least in my opinion.
