A Little Plaid & Faux Fur

Spring is right around the corner and I'm so excited because this cold weather here in Indiana has got to go, along with the snow and sleet:)  So, spring please hurry up and come!  For my outfit today, I wanted to try something a little different, so I paired a plaid top and faux fur together.  Also, I really liked how my look came out and I may have to wear my faux fur vest more often, especially since it's still cold here in Indiana.  

I decided to complete my outfit with a pair of skinny jeans, tall boots, a neutral colored handbag, and gold & mint accessories.

A Floral Arrangement







H&M Blazer (similar), Francesca's Top (here), JBrand Jeans (similar), JCPenny Boots (similar), c/o Joules Satchel (here), Michael Kors Watch (similar), Monogram Necklace (here), and Luxe Craving Bracelet (here).


For my outfit today, I decided to wear a floral blouse I picked up last week at Francesca's.  Although, I'm a stay at home Mom it doesn't mean I can't dress up from time to time, right?  So, last week I decided I would expand my closet more and by purchasing several blouses and this was one of them.  I decided to pair my blouse with a blue blazer, flare bottom jeans, a navy satchel, and gold accessories.

So, the navy satchel that I'm carrying today was complimentary from Joules.  For those of you who know me, know that I'm a big handbag girl, so when I received this beautiful navy satchel in the mail, I was excited and couldn't wait to style it.  I liked this particular satchel because I was able to shop without having to worry about my handbag, also I was able to extend the strap and wear it across my body, so I was hands free while shopping.  I would definitely recommend this satchel to my friends:)

However, not only does Joules carry beautiful handbags and totes, but they also have pretty women's quilted jackets.  So, don't forget to go and check out Joules:)

Disclaimer...This was a sponsored post by Joules and my satchel was complimentary, but the review was done by me.

February Cara Box


This was my first month participating in the Cara Box Exchange and it was fun.  What's a Cara Box Exchange?   Awesome things in the mail + meeting new women + encouragement =  Cara Box.  Kaitlyn started the monthly box swap and each month there's a different theme, from the season, to a color, to a topic.  Also, you're paired with another blogger and you begin getting to know each other.  Then towards the middle of the month you begin putting together your partner's box or package, specially for the woman that your paired with, then you ship it off to her and she will do the same for you.

Anyway, I was paired with Katie and I found out that she doesn't leave far from me, which I thought was really cool.  Although, I'm sorry we didn't get the chance to meet or chat, I had a fun time putting her box together and I hoped that she enjoyed it.  I'm looking forward to March's Cara Box Exchange and getting to know new bloggers:)  If your interested in participating in the Cara Box click here to sign up.

Here's a photo of my Cara Package:

Faux Fur & Leopard Print






B Moss Coat (similar), Faux Fur Stole (similar), Old Navy Dress (similar), Hue Tights (here), Sole Society Pumps (here), H&M Handbag (similar), Michael Kors Watch (here) and Tom Ford Sunnies (here).


The weather here in Indiana is still cold out and it seems it's either snowing, sleeting, or raining out.  So, for my outfit today I decided to wear my black wrap dress I purchased from Old Navy awhile ago.  I'm not a big fan of cold weather, so when it comes time for me to wear dresses or skirts in the winter, I try to pair them with opaque tights and boots.  Anyway, I completed my outfit with a pair of Hue Tights, animal print wedges, my handbag, a gold watch, and my Tom Ford sunnies.

Mani Monday: Lincoln Park


Although, I didn't polish my nails this past week, I did however go and get a manicure over the weekend, so I thought I would link up my with Heather from Glitter & Gloss for her Mani Monday.  Although, I receive a manicures on a regular basis, I'm in love with nail gels, I can do my housework, the dishes and repeatedly wash my hands throughout the day and my nails still look great:)   So, of course I'm wearing a gel nail color on my nails and it's by OPI GelColor called Lincoln Park.  

Here's a photo of my nails:

30 Days of Lists


I'm a huge lister and I enjoy writing in my journal everyday, so I thought I would participate in 30 Days of Lists, which is an encouragement and challenge that I CAN journal just something every day - even something as small as a list.

So, for the month of March, each day I will be giving a list prompt, about anything from weekend goals to celebrity crushes.  So, by the end of the month I will have a collection of entries creating a small snapshot of my life.

I only need 5-10 minutes a day to complete an entry, and that's all, just write.  There is no right or wrong way to do this and I don't like to daily list prompt I can change it.  Sounds like fun huh?  
30 Days of Lists is a collaboration between Kam of Campfire Chic and Amy from Lemon and Raspberry.

Here's a photo of my supplies that I will be using for my 30 Days of Lists Journal:


Fuji Film Instax Mini 7S Camera, Moleskin Cahier Journal, Zig Memory System Pen, Mono Power Bond Adhesive Dispenser, Washi Tape, Memento Full Size Dye Inkpad, Studio Calico Clear Stamps, and Number Tags.

If you would like to participate in 30 Days of Lists here is the link to register.  So, come join with me in March's 30 Days of Lists:)


PS...I will post a photo of my completed journal in a couple of days:)

Look What I Got: A Triple Shawl Cardigan







The Oxford Trunk Shrug (here), Banana Republic Top (on sale here), Old Navy Tee (on sale here), Old Navy Jeans (on sale here), Nordstrom Flats (similar), Francesca's Handbag (here), Michael Kors Watch (similar), Bracelets: Luxe Craving (here) and Groop Deals (on sale here, or here).


I love my triple shawl cardigan I purchased from The Oxford Trunk, it was on back order, but as soon as I was notified that it was restocked I scooped it up for $30.  Who thought that you could take a cardigan and wear it three different ways:)  Today, I chose to wear my cardigan as a cape, however maybe next time I'll wear it as a shawl or a scarf, who knows:)     

I'm linking up with Look What I Got, Mingle With Us Blog, and That Friday Blog Hop.
