V-DAY FUN

Happy Valentines Day CCC readers. Hope you and your love ones enjoy the day, eat lots of heart-shaped candy, and of course spread the love! I spent the weekend playing with these plastic Dollar Store heart-shaped sunnies and eating chocolate truffle and banana ice cream with marshmallows and graham cracker from Cold Stone Creamery. I know, that seems like the oddest mix for an ice cream treat but who said anything about me being normal, and besides, any trip to Cold Stone Creamery means pairing crazy ice creams together with ludicrous toppings.

Sorry guys, still trying to figure out what to wear for today but I’m pretty sure Charlie’s not taking me anywhere. It’s a school night, and I’m suppose to be dieting for this trip to Puerto Rico in April so that means spinach leaves and chicken for dinner 😦 no going out to eat.

I’ve linked some similar earrings and a hot pink blazer at the top.

Have fun today and Happy V-day lovers!

Sincerely,

Deidra Marie

OUT AND ABOUT

And just like that, warm weather appears magically out of nowhere again this month. I’m starting to think I should just leave clothes in my car from every season so in the event the weather person is wrong I can just switch up my outfit in the car. I’ve learned to rely on that initial first step onto the front porch in the AM. Yup, that tells me everything I need to know, but just to be safe, I’ll throw some flip flops, boots, scarves and a rain coat in the car. 🙂

This past weekend I hung around downtown Garner before the big Super Bowl game. No coat needed for this adventure as it was in the high 60’s for most of the day. I’m super excited because while down there some locals informed me that they are building this hometown coffee shop over this way, which means I’ll finally have a coffee shop to hang out at other than Starbucks. Don’t get me wrong, I love Starbucks but there is nothing like supporting small businesses. I’m also in full support of organic coffee as well. The smell is always so robust and most flavors are bold and smooth.

The OOTD was a basic boho chic tunic I purchased on sale from Target’s Knox Rose line, jewelry and booties are from Charlotte Russe, circa 2010. No worries, I’ve linked similar looks at the top for your purchasing pleasure.

One more day till Friday so happy Weekend!

Sincerely,

And because I can’t get enough of this darn scarf by Tight Knit NYC, I took that baby downtown for some good food and random skipping through the street. It’s not everyday this girl gets dressed up and dances the city streets so when I saw the opportunity, I took it and ran, I guess I skipped, LOL. I told you I’d share how to style this scarf for a day out on the town. I also don’t keep secrets either which is why I want to share the brains behind this knitting operation. One of my good friends from college is the secret behind Tight Knit NYC. It’s an honor to be associated with such talent. A big shout out to Ashley Kirkman for this amazing handmade scarf. I had a blast showcasing this cozy piece and look forward to future collaborations. If your in the hunt for something warm, cozy, handmade and just darn cute, visit I suggest you visit Tight Knit NYC. She has something for everyone, hats, chunky scarfs, and even knitwear for the kids. You can check her out on Instagram at @_tightknitnyc. I’ve also taken the liberty of linking my scarf, a similar black dress, and booties for your purchasing pleasure too. Don’t forget, you can still get 25% off your Tight Knit NYC purchase when you use code: COILSCURLSCOZY.
 
Happy Friday!
