{cassidy denim jumpsuit/initial pendant necklace/similar ankle strap sandal}

Happy Saturday! 3 things! 1 – I’ve got a GOOD but quick round-up of some weekend favorites and sales for you. 2 – I’m wearing a jumpsuit in this pic and still trying to decide if it’s the cutest outfit ever or a complete disaster. And 3 – it’s March 11th and I’m 46 years old today. 46! I really don’t know how that’s possible since I was just turning 19 about 20 minutes ago, but I have to say that I’m ok with it. I might not feel ok about it at 50 (let’s re-evaluate then because it feels like 50 might be a hard one!), but 46? All good. Honestly I have loved my 40’s! This past year has been a little harder with Ellie moving out and talking all things college with Addison knowing that she’s next. Some days I let it get to me and just feel sad. I can feel the tide turning and the change coming that is life after all of my kids move out. But I heard the phrase somewhere the other day “the best is yet to come” and I decided that is going to be my new mantra. The best is yet to come. No more looking back and feeling sad that certain times or phases of life are coming to an end. There is SO MUCH to look forward to. What exactly am I looking forward to? I don’t totally know yet. Ha. But the best is yet to come so I’m going to be excited for it.

Also I think I love the jumpsuit. :)

JUMPSUIT OPTIONS:

Really I’m just so grateful for these 4 loves of my life along with all of my other family, good friends and all of YOU. Feeling very blessed this year and excited to spend the weekend celebrating!

{tondo rectangle serving board/woven serving basket/frida vase/real touch white tulip/small marble bunny/similar wood bunny}

{small sage green vase/small tulips – pack of 20}

Ok.. back to our regularly scheduled program. :) This is a quick round-up because I’ve been working on some fun posts for next week! Really feeling all things SPRING around here! Before my sale/favorites round-up I wanted to share another fun tulip option! The tulips on the left I’ve shared before. They are stunning and so realistic. I’m also in love with the less expensive tulips on the right! They are smaller and the stems are a brighter green. Also so good! They are incredibly soft to touch and easy to bend and manipulate so you can make them look very realistic too. Perfect for this cute sage green vase! I love it so much I bought two! One for my living groom and one for the nightstand in my bedroom. You can’t beat the price on the small tulips either. I have one pack of 20 in this vase for just $20! Score.

1- purple tulips   2-coral tulips

3-yellow tulips   4- white tulips

They come in other colors too! I’ve shared these before in this collage, but wanted to show a pic of them in person. So good.

1-small white vase   2-green vase   3- carved vase

4-round vase   5- small textured vase   6-small terracotta vase

Other small vase options that would work great with the Amazon tulips. :)

1-pillowcase set   2-textured comforter   3-quilt sham   4-euro throw pillow

5- waffle weave comforter   6-oversized bed throw   7- stripe pillow

8-gingham pillow   9- sheet set   10-oversized throw   11-flannel quilt

Since we’re talking Target I wanted to mention a sale going on just through Saturday. ALL bedding is 20% off! I think bathroom rugs and towels are too. I’m so ready to give my bedroom a spring re-fresh! It’s still decked in forest green from the holidays. I’ll definitely be checking out this sale before it ends. This pretty throw is my inspiration piece! Clearly I’m not straying too far from the green family. ;)

1-bunny bowl   2-  flower nesting bowls

CUTEST stuff popping up in Anthro for spring! I’ve had this bunny and these flower bowls in my cart for a week now! I’m actually glad I waited because LTK is doing a sale this weekend. If you want 20% off all of this cute Anthro stuff (and lots of other favorites I’ve mentioned before!) head to over to my LTK shop in the app. To get the 20% off you have to shop on your phone through the LTK app using my code it will give you. I have all of these collages in the app and items on sale are highlighted!

1-wildflower wood board   2-easter egg board

3-oversized rectangle boards   4-scalloped serving board

Love these board options for spring!

1- speckled decorative eggs   2-bunny dish towel   3- cake stand

4-wood serving bowl   5-candle   6-  bombay glasses  7-serving set

1- baskets   2-faux fig trees   3-  cambria dinnerware

4-terracotta vases   5-gallery frames   6-black vase

These are my favorites from PB that are on sale this weekend! I have and love most of these items.

1-rafia tray   2- wood cheese board

3-chunky handwoven rug   4-handwoven serving tray

Such good prices on these favorites! The rug is a slightly different version of the rug I have in my family room. Looks so beautiful!

1- top handle rattan bag   2- straw tote   3- island key backpack

4-straw handbag   5-straw clutch   6- beach tote

7- straw shoulder bag   8- woven straw tote   9- straw basket bag

I love picking up a new straw bag for the spring/summer! These are my favorites I’ve seen so far. Perfect for trips, pool time, beach time and every day running around.

1- moxie rug   2-augustine rug   3- callahan rug

4- bullock rug   5-nash rug   6-ahern rug

Signing off with some fun indoor/outdoor rug options! I need to decorate my front porch but it has been too cold and raining non-stop! As soon as I see the sun again I need to do some serious sweeping and decorating.

It’s supposed to rain tomorrow though so I think I’ll stay warm inside by the fire and eat cake instead.

I was right. The best IS yet to come.

;)

{mother roller wide leg jeans/puff sleeve sweater/similar open toe booties here & here}/woven tray/easter egg options/black hanover pendants}

It’s a new week! Let’s make it a good one and kick things off with a little spring decor. Who’s ready!? I know I am. Easter eggs are out (cute egg options here!) and I am so ready for sunshine and spring! My kitchen looks clean, but don’t be deceived. I took these pics on a cloudy day while my decor closet was half way organized and there were random items up and down my hallways and flooding my entry, office and dining room. My kitchen was the ONLY clean spot in my house. Just wanted to keep it real. Organized closet is hopefully coming soon. :) (On an unrelated side note.. how cute are these jeans!? An early birthday splurge. They are so cute and flattering if you need a new pair!)

{drifter black wood round board/tondo lazy susan/tondo round serving board/tondo rectangle serving board/similar black board with round handle here & here}

Let’s chat about adding black to your spring decor. I’ve been adding more black into my decor this past year and I have to say that I am LOVING it. Have you ever noticed how black just sort of grounds your space? It makes a statement and adds some depth and drama to any room. It’s so easy to bring a little black into your decorating if you haven’t already and want to start! Accessories are a great way to slowly add black and see how it changes the look and feel of your space. These are 4 black kitchen trays I’m loving that you’ll see popping up in my spring decorating this year. They are perfect for decor and serving food if you are entertaining!

{drifter black wood round board/tondo lazy susan}

This drifter board is so cool. It has some color variation (a charred look) and isn’t completely flat. You can still set items on it but it has just enough movement to give it texture. It would be great in the kitchen but also on a coffee, entry, or dining table. You can never go wrong with a good lazy susan! I use my marble lazy susan every day so I’m excited to have a black option too!

{tondo round serving board}

Fun pizza paddle board!

{tondo rectangle serving board/similar black board with round handle here & here}

The rectangle boards are my favorite. I bought the large board in my hometown at a fun decor store so I linked similar options. I love the size but it always felt a little too big for my kitchen island so I ordered this tondo board that is just a little shorter and wider and it’s perfect!

Just the right size to hold a fun little spring arrangement. :)

{woven serving basket/frida vase/real touch white tulip/small marble bunny/similar wood bunny}

I moved my tulips over from the dining room table and added this fun serving basket with lemons. LOVE a bowl of lemons this time of year! That pop of yellow just makes everything happy.

Also how cute is this little marble bunny!? He would look great on top of a stack of books styled on a shelf too. There are some things in life I just can’t pass up. A spring bowl of lemons and a marble bunny would definitely make that list. :)  (Here are some other fun bunny options I’ve seen popping up in stores!)

This is the same arrangement styled on the round drifter board.

And here it is on the tondo lazy susan. Just wanted to share a few fun options!

Add some black to your decor with all the fun spring colors this year!

Or don’t. :) Do whatever you want in your house. That’s the best part about decorating isn’t it!? Life can be heavy but decorating is FUN. Style your house in a way that makes you happy.

But adding some black, a bowl full of lemons and a mini marble bunny can’t hurt.

;)

Happy Sunday! I hope you are enjoying the weekend! It has been a little busy for us with the usual weekend activities plus Kenny had back surgery Thursday and is in recovery mode. It was a minor surgery and he is doing great! But I’ve definitely been a little distracted. The hardest part with my husband when it comes to stuff like this is keeping him from heading to the gym thinking he’s 100% on day two. He does not like to slow down! Lucky for him he has me here to monitor his every move. ;)

I have a fun round-up of favorites today and more fun things coming this week! I started decorating for spring! Have you started yet? Pulling apart my decor closet inspired a little re-fresh and it has been fun organizing my decor items and decorating on the side as I go! I ordered the beautiful tree above to go on my porch – two of them actually! They are stunning and so realistic. I’m excited to put away the winter trees and add some life to my porch. Now we just need the sunshine! It has been so cold lately!

{rib crop turtleneck/vintage wide leg jeans/similar rag & bone sneaker}

If you missed my last fashion post it’s full of favorites I’ve been wearing lately! I have definitely had my warmest sweaters on repeat.

{we the free perfect tee/colette cropped wide leg pants/large belt bag/similar open toe booties/chain bracelet set}

These cropped pants are going to be spring staples for me as soon as it warms up around here. You can see all of the other clothes I’m loving here!

I thought it would be fun at the end of each month to share the things YOU are loving the most from the blog. These are your February favorites! You all have great taste. ;)

1- bath rug   2- belt bag   3- terracotta vase   4-sutherland canopy bed

These are fun items I ordered from Amazon in February! I already shared the cute lightweight joggers. The screen cleaner, mascara, hair finishing stick, drawer dividers and museum putty (to hold things like organizers in place) are staples I order and then re-order often. I’m excited to try the boot shapers! I’ll share a pic of how they look/work soon. I’m hoping to go through all of my shoes this week. I need to donate a few pairs and get them straightened. The rain has been endless although I’m not complaining.. we need it! We just also needed another umbrella. :) The hook hangers are going to be just what I need to hold my purse in my car and these pretty branches will be perfect for a small vase. Addison needed a few new hangers and that wraps up our Amazon buys for February! All good things.

{fabric storage bin}

I’ve had my eye on these storage bins just waiting for this color to come back in stock.. so cute!

I’m off to check on my patient! I’m sure he’ll be telling me he’s fine to go on a run but in too much pain to help load the dishes.

He’s lucky I love him. :)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Well hello! Long time no post. :) Crickets have been chirping on the blog lately because the stomach flu hit our house. NOT good! First Addison, then me, then as soon as I was starting to feel better Kenny got sick. I’m not going to lie.. it was rough. Ha. Kole is the last man standing. Fingers crossed we are out of the woods and he doesn’t get sick! We’ve all had enough saltine crackers and Pedialyte to last a life time. Last year I got food poisoning over President’s Day weekend and landed in the ER so clearly the long February weekend is not my friend! I’m hoping you had a better week!

Our house was basically a disaster while we were sick so Friday I spent some time putting it all back together. I snapped these pics quickly with my cell phone after because it was the most productive thing I had done in a while and it felt so good. Clearly I haven’t been out much lately! So here are some bad lighting cell pics to say hey.. the house is picked up and I’m back. :)

{pb comfort roll arm couch/maggie rattan-wrapped stool/chunky wool jute rug}

I don’t think I ever shared how I styled things after the holidays and wasn’t planning on it since I’m going to change things up soon for spring, but here we are. I’ll leave some of these pillows up and add a few florals. Things are looking a little “fallish” with all neutrals right now so I’m excited to bring in some color!

{block woven square pillow/reed striped lumbar pillow}

I’m loving this large block woven square pillow! It’s not the softest to lay on, but I love the texture and pattern. Every other pillow is soft so we’re more than set on pillows to lay on. :) The reed striped lumbar is a long time favorite and comes in other colors.

{linen textured pillow/striped square throw pillow}

These linen textured pillows are so beautiful and come in lots of colors. I’ve shared them before and have them in pink too! Great neutrals to toss in with any patterns. Time to put my winter tree pillow away!

{stanley 40 oz tumbler}

Stanley tumblers are back in stock in my favorite colors!

{everywhere belt bag}

The beloved lulu belt bags are also back in stock in lots of colors!

{liberty sling bag}

These sling bags are too much fun! Guess which color I bought? :) I’ll share a better pic of it soon! I love the inside pocket for your cell phone and plenty of room for other essentials. I love the cute straps too!

I hope.

*This post is sponsored by Wayfair. All product selections and opinions are my own!

I’m excited to share some organizing progress I’ve made here and there along with a few organizers from Wayfair I’ve been loving lately!

Over the past few years I’ve added more dishes to my collection, and when I was going through my kitchen during “kitchen week” of our organizing challenge, I knew I needed to figure out a solution for how to store them. I wanted to keep them all in the same cupboard but I was running out of room. I looked on line at Wayfair (they have so many great organizing solutions I’ve used throughout my home over the years!) and landed on these cabinet shelf helpers.

I’m obsessed! They have been a perfect solution.

They are sturdy, they look great, and they add an extra level of storage. I had most of these dishes stacked high on top of each other before, but aside from running out of room it was difficult for Kole to get plates out. Not a problem anymore!

I loved them so much, I ordered more and added these white shelf helpers to the cupboard that holds our drinking glasses. They are a perfect fit with this slender cupboard and added so much vertical storage!

I basically added two extra shelves. So nice when you’re short on space! Now I want to put these in every cupboard in my kitchen.

I did a quick clean out of the cupboards and drawers in my butler’s pantry and styled the shelves. That always feels good!

This wood-top stackable kitchen rack is another great option. I’ve had a few of these for years and have been using one on Kole’s bathroom counter for extra storage. I love the look of it, so aside from using it inside of pantries or cupboards, it also works well on a countertop to help free up space. I’m using it to hold a few smaller items in this cupboard at the moment. I got rid of everything I wasn’t using in these cupboards and it feels so good to have less!

This adjustable lid holder from Wayfair is another long time favorite! I’ve loved storing my pan lids in this cupboard. I only use them once in a while and it frees up so much space for my pots and pans.

My pantry is one spot I stay on top of, but I took 20 minutes to check expiration dates, toss a few older items, and straighten out some of the serving items I store here.

You all know I love OXO storage containers for food, and Wayfair has a huge selection of sizes. I’ve ordered several on line from Wayfair throughout the years to hold more food or replace older containers. They are hands down my #1 pantry staple!

I also love this turntable with adjustable dividers! You could use it in a bathroom also, but I’ve been using it in my pantry to hold oils and sticky items that I don’t like to store in my baskets.

It’s large and a little more heavy duty than most turntables and perfect for a pantry or for under a kitchen or bathroom sink.

When the pantry and fridge are clean and organized, it makes a huge difference for me mentally! Those are two spots I work hard to keep clean, and good organizers really help. So does having a husband and kids who put things away where they go. After years of nagging, I think we are (for the most part) there. In those two spots anyway!

Let’s not get too excited. Ha.

Last but not least, these are long time favorite baskets from Wayfair that I love for organizing! They are a perfect size (tall but not too tall!) to use inside of closets and cupboards for storage. I have these baskets in my master closet.

I have these baskets in my girls’ closets and in a few bathrooms. I also love the handles on all of these baskets because they are perfect to hold a label clip!

You’ll be seeing more of both of these baskets in future posts. :)

Those are a few organizers I’ve been loving lately and below I rounded up even more organizers I love from Wayfair. They are all so good! Want to know the real secret to getting organized?

Pair each of these items I’ve shared today with a little bit of consistent nagging and you will be set for life.

{tulip sleeve top/pilcro utility pants/similar sandals}

Happy Sunday! I hope you’re having a good weekend so far! Today was cloudy and chilly but I’m willing it to be spring by pulling out my short sleeve blouses and sandals! Think it will work? Or will I just be really cold? :)

{quin ceramic vase/similar faux white blossoms/real touch white tulips here & here/frida vase/celia woven tray/handwoven trays/similar woven tray/similar woven oval tray/similar seagrass oval tray}

I’m also staring to pull out some early spring decor! Just can’t wait one more day. I had too much fun putting this arrangement together for my dining nook table. This is the larger size of the 2 tray set I recently shared in this post. (It’s sold out at the moment at Mcgee but I think this is the same set!) I also linked similar options above.) The frida vase is new this year and it’s so much fun. I love the size and texture and it’s on sale right now! I also can’t recommend these white tulips enough. They are absolutely beautiful in person and so realistic.

{natural & ivory stripe rug}

I snapped this quick with my phone and will have to get a better picture with my camera when I have time but cheers to the start of spring! In my world anyway. :)

1- lilac branch   2-white cherry blossom   3- pink glob amaranth   4-peony bundle

5- pink cherry blossom   6-tulips   7-dried flowers   8- leaf branches

1- purple tulips   2-coral tulips

3-yellow tulips   4- white tulips

The Afloral tulips (while very realistic) are a little pricey so I wanted to share another great option for less. One of my friends recently bought these tulips above and they are also beautiful! The different colors are fun too.

1-leather decorative boxes   2-black leather boxes

3-rattan boxes   4-fabric boxes   5-leather box   6- grid pattern boxes

Display boxes are such a fun shelf accent. They are also great for storing items you don’t want sitting out so they organizer in me especially loves using them for decor. :) I rounded up some favorites!

1-summer dress   2- spaghetti strap dress   3- tank dress   4-black dress

5-flutter short sleeve dress   6-striped dress   7-  ruffle black dress

Loving all of these fun dresses from Amazon! Perfect for spring and summer or to throw on over a swim suit during a Spring Break trip!

1-chandlier   2-woven tray   3-soapstone link

4- sutherland bed   5-mirror   6-salad servers   7- wall hanger

Mcgee & Co kicked off their President’s Day sale early with up to 25% off! I rounded up all of the Mcgee & Co items I have in my home. Most of them I have shared before so you will recognize them quickly. :) It’s definitely a pricey store so I always wait for the big sales they do like this one when I have something on my wish list!

Happy Sunday friends! I hope it’s the best spring day ever. It certainly will be over here! In my spring blouse. With my spring tulips. And my spring sandals.

And a very warm blanket because it’s freezing outside.

:)

*LOVE letters – affiliate links used

Happy Friday! I’m popping in with a cute idea for Valentine’s Day! Or really for anytime you want to feel the LOVE and share it with others. :)

{LOVE plates}

I landed on the cutest LOVE letters from Amazon! I think this exact set might have sold out (hopefully it comes back in stock!) but I found LOTS of similar options. (LINKED after these pics!)

Another excuse to buy Valentine’s Day candy? Don’t mind if I do. :)

Isn’t this a fun display for a February get together!? I prefer candy (it’s all about the Sweetarts for me) but you could fill these LOVE letters with vegetables or popcorn and nuts or really anything you want!

These are pretty shallow but I found some that are deeper if you prefer that to fit more food.

In other news if you are organizing with me (challenge details here) we are tackling bedrooms this week! This isn’t my bedroom. :) I’m a little behind sharing progress and I’m still stuck in closet week and might just be stuck here forever.. ha. BUT my mudroom that was a hot mess is now clean. Progress! Love how my locker was actually the messiest. I totally let things go in December.

More “befores.” Not awful but in need of a good clean out. The drawers really needed to be vacuumed too. Usually my kids clean their own lockers but I just wanted to GET IT DONE one morning and knocked it out quick.

BEFORE

AFTER

I filled one sack full of shoes that don’t fit anymore and jackets we don’t wear anymore. It felt so good!

I vacuumed all of the shoe drawers (they get so sandy!).

{weave basket set}

Then I added this basket for my socks. I’ve been doing this for Kole for years and realized I could use a sock basket myself! I’m always frantically running out the door to pick someone up and then realizing I need socks and running back to my closet on the other end of the house. Now if I’m picking up kids or going to the gym I have socks ready to go! It’s the little things for me. :)

Addison is currently loving life with TWO lockers and drawers since El is gone.

Kole’s sock basket.. going strong since he was 6 years old! Do you keep kids’ socks and shoes by the door? In our previous house (before we had a mudroom and lockers) I kept shoes on shelves in our garage. (Talk about a post from the early days!)

Anything that will help us get out the door quicker is a win in my book!

{woven jute runner/similar baskets}

I’m still loving my jute runner in this space! It’s soft but durable and perfect for a high traffic spot. (Sorry the only current pic I have with my lockers closed is from the holidays!)

{black magnolia jute rug}

In other rug news this beloved runner just came back in stock! I really love this runner and it also comes in other sizes (my friend has it in her son’s bedroom). I had it in my kitchen all last year and it’s currently in my laundry room. (Mine is the 2’4 x 7.) It sold out so quickly so I’m thrilled they brought it back for those of you who have asked about it!

Enjoy your weekend! I’ll be back with some fun finds and sales soon! And hopefully a clean closet or two. Wish me luck!

It’s all about the candy reward after for me.

*February decor – affiliate links used

{heart door garland/heart tree garland/red plaid rug/heart home mat/cypress trees/baskets}

Valentine’s Day is a week away! Sending some love your way. ;) Our porch is feeling festive for February. I used the same decor as last year and while I’m always sad to say good-bye to my winter trees I’m excited for an early spring porch re-fresh at the end of this month!

Can I make a confession since we’re talking about the current state of my porch?

I still have my reindeer up. My friends who have stopped by have been laughing and giving me a hard time about them. Ha. My reindeer are still up not because of laziness but because I’m just not ready to take them down. I said to Kole the other day pulling in from school..

“What do you think bud? Should we take the Christmas reindeer down now that it’s February?”

“I don’t know.. I kind of like them.”

“I like them too.. let’s leave them up a little longer.” 

We smiled watching their twinkling lights quite pleased with our decision and then pulled into the garage.

Every year after the holidays there is usually one thing I’m not ready to take down that I leave up until March. Sometimes it’s a Christmas tree. One year it was my kids’ Santa pictures on the wall. This year it’s the reindeer.

I’m tricky like that.

I know you’re all fascinated by this story and so sad that it’s time to move on..

{set of two woven trays/sandy terracotta vase/olive branches/gold mirror vanity tray}

I’ve been focusing on getting my home organized lately so I haven’t done much decorating, but I did style my favorite olive branches with a few different vases for fun! I can’t decide which look I love best because all of these vases are so good. I got this set of two woven trays for Christmas and they are gorgeous! This is the smaller tray on my island and I have the larger tray on my kitchen table. I tried different heart bowls but like the way this gold mirror vanity tray looks best.

{porcelain white bowl/large wooden heart bowl/medium wooden heart bowl/white wash heart bowl/heart shaped cutting board/gold mirror vanity tray/heart tray with gold lining}

I shared it earlier with these cute heart bowl options. Bring on the holiday candy! Cadbury eggs will be here before we know it. A dangerous thought for both me and my jeans.

{minka textured pot/set of two woven trays/olive branches/gold mirror vanity tray/hanover kitchen pendants}

This is option #2! Same arrangement but with my beloved minka textured pot. Did you know this fun pot now comes in large sizes big enough for plants? It comes in black now too. Be still my heart.

{hanover kitchen pendants}

{set of two woven trays/tall terracotta vase/olive branches/gold mirror vanity tray/hanover kitchen pendants}

And option 3 with this beautiful tall terracotta vase. I shared this earlier in the collage below. It looks like a vase from PB for twice its price. GO Target. Do you have a favorite of the 3 vases styled this way?

1- gingham table runner   2- gold flatware   3- tall vase

4- white vase   5- dinner plates   6- olive leaf arrangement

7- natural plate charger   8- tall tumblers   9-jute runner

{heart sweater}

In other news there are still a few sizes left in this beautiful heart sweater on sale!

    {puff sleeve sweater/ugg slippers}

Also I shared this top in my last post and got some questions about my lip color! I’ve been asked that before so thought I would just share it on the blog. It’s all Mac – a long time favorite combo I came up with and have loved for years. :)

Lip liner: Mac “Plum”

Lip stick: Mac “Hug Me”

Lip gloss: Mac Lipglass “Nymphette” – my all time favorite gloss! I also have and love “Oyster Girl” for a more neutral gloss. I guess that shade went viral on social media and has been a hit ever since! The colors look different on than they do when you look at the color on-line (Oyster Girl looks so pink on-line but is actually a neutral that blends with your lipstick and mostly adds shine).

If you were only going to buy one item I would go for the Mac Lipglass! It’s so pretty in every shade.. you really can’t go wrong.

Reindeer approved!

They are tricky like that.

Happy Sunday! I hope you’re enjoying your weekend! We’ve had a busy week and I’ve been project focused! Getting lots done around here and it feels so good. I’ll share updates soon! I’m especially excited about getting some of my closets in order. I’m slower to share progress from my organizing challenge here on the blog because I’m doing it real time with you so progress is coming. I also had the opportunity to share organizing tips at a church activity last week so I’ll share those soon too! Always a good night when organizing is the topic of choice. :) This sweater is a new favorite (so cute and I love the sleeves!). We only had one day last week that it was warm enough to wear it. I’m clearly getting anxious for spring!

Speaking of spring.. I landed in PB after returning something at the mall (crazy how that just seems to happen right?) and they had so many cute things! This first collage is basically my wish list this spring (other than the drink ware collection I already have and the light fixture similar to mine – love them both!).

Wayfair is having a huge furniture sale this week! I rounded up favorites. The prices are seriously so good! Some of my favorite art like my fields of gold print is linked above.

Clearly I have warm weather on my mind because I ordered this green wrap dress/cover-up for the beach this summer. It fits so cute! I have and love the other two cover-ups and love these bags. All so good for the price. I would share a pic of me in it but my legs are too scary white at the moment. Not quite ready to break out the tanning lotion. Ha.

{everywhere belt bag}

Enjoy your Sunday! Are you planning on prepping meals and writing a plan for the week and laying out gym clothes for your Monday morning workout?

Or just vegging out in front of the TV in sweats all day?

I’ll probably be somewhere in-between because I’m all about balance.

And scallop bowls and bunny sherpa pillows.

{texture rib bath mat/ivory decorative tray/artisan vase/faux tree branches}

Happy Sunday! I have a FUN round-up of weekend favorites and sales for you today! I mentioned ordering some new bath mats just to use until I found something I loved but now I’m loving these so much they will be staying for a while.

{texture rib bath mat}

They are SO soft to step on and stay in place. I love this light grey in our bathroom and I ordered the white rugs for my girls’ bathroom too because they are on sale for just $23! Too good to pass up.

{hydrocotton bath towel}

My new white towels came in too!

{hydrocotton hand towel}

With all of the drawers and cupboards organized in this space and new bath mats and towels our bathroom feels so fresh and clean! I love it. Time to make every other room feel this way. One drawer at a time. :)

{crop puffer vest/leggings here & here/similar rag & bone sneakers here & here}

I shared this cute crop puffer vest earlier that I found on Amazon. It’s on sale for almost half off at the moment!

{similar ribbed turtleneck/crop puffer vest}

I hurried and ordered it in cream and green too. I’ve really been loving this vest because it has been cold here and this extra layer is perfect on chilly days. Plus it’s just CUTE and adds a little something to almost everything I put on. I love the green vest with a cream turtleneck.

(If you need a good Valentine’s Day gift for a man in your life buy him a Vuori tee or jacket or shorts! He won’t want to take them off.) I rotate between Vuori joggers and leggings, heart pajamas and the occasional outfit with my new Amazon vest. Winter wardrobe DONE. :)
