Gearing up for New Year’s by doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Yes, I said it. Relaxing is the name of the game, and I have no plans to bring in the new year but to chill by this pool, enjoy a good glass of wine or two, hehe, and catch up on some much needed Netflix episodes. Only a few more days in Florida and it’s back to reality and the work grind on Monday. Why do vacations seem to go by so fast? I did manage to check out some shopping outlets and nabbed a great shiny top from Ann Taylor Factory. Not sure where I’ll be wearing it but if I decide last minute to go out and bring in 2017, I’ll have an outfit ready to go. Let’s be honest, 2017 is coming whether I celebrate or not, LOL. I could always put the top on and have a party of one by the pool, me and my two best friends Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon, LOL

Speaking of outfits, I linked a similar pair of sunnies at the top for you to check out. I grabbed my sunnies from a Ross in Orlando for a whopping $5 bucks! And I finally got a chance to wear this darling romper from American Eagle because FL is warm. The romper is currently on sale for $20.00. Can’t beat that, huh? 

Before I go, there is just a few more days to participate in the Smile Brilliant Giveaway. Click here to read the post, view my before and after results and get all the deets on how you can win a free teeth whitening kit, courtesy of Smile Brilliant!

Yay to 2017. Happy New Year Everyone!

OLIVE GREEN DRESS AND GARDEN WALKS

Saturday mornings are for quiet garden walks with my main squeeze. Charlie and I were up at the crack of dawn on Saturday, cleaned up the house a little, and by a little I mean we threw a load of laundry into the washing machine and forgot to turn the darn thing on, LOL. Yes, it’s like that sometimes. We decided a trip to the JC Arboretum was a good idea. We roamed around, checked out all the plant life, snapped some shots, and then off to Ihop for some fluffy pancakes and french toast, yummy. 

As far as the outfit I’m rocking is concerned, a few of the pieces are from back in the day (Gold Jacket-The Limited, Cognac Booties-Charlotte Russe). No worries though, I’ve linked a similar Olive Green dress, My H&M gold button earrings, and printed scarf for you at the top. I had a fun time pairing these pieces together. It’s still a bit warm in NC in the afternoon so I make sure I have layers I can remove if I get hot. I’m all about showing a little leg too. I wanted to stay in the fall color theme so the Olive colored dress was a win win. When in doubt, add a blazer and fun colored scarf to elevate any look. 

Who else is ready for Thanksgiving? This is my fav holiday so I’ll be posting a few of my fav Turkey Day recipes passed down from my mom and granny. Hope you enjoy!

THAT FALL FEELING

Fall weather has finally made it’s arrival in NC and yes, you guessed it, I’ve got that fall feeling. Nothing excites me more than the smell of fall, the crisp cool air, leaves changing colors and falling to the ground, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin bread and most importantly, Thanksgiving with the family and friends. I get the warm and fuzzies ya’lls. Spent the day with Charlie, meandering around Cary, NC, checking the sites and grabbing an oh so delicious breakfast equipped with pumpkin pancakes and coffee.
On a fashion note, I nabbed this elegant, tailored plaid blouse on sale at Banana Republic last week, and just had to pair it with a mini skirt. I don’t show off my legs often but when I do, it’s in none other than a mini skirt. I guess you missed the part where I said sale. Allow me to repeat myself, Banana Republic is having a SALE. Yes, my name is bargain and I shop SALE ladies and gentlemen. I linked this cute plaid top at the top of the post and some similar styles of the jacket and skirt. Hope you like. I needed a blouse that could transition from work to play with little to no effort and I found it. I’ll be back to relish in their sale some more this week as I’m swooning over their sale denim and dresses.
Have an awesome week ya’ll!
Sincereley,
