A little bit of this...and that

How are you today beautiful?!  I, for one, am so excited for spring and sundresses, bright jewelry and flip flops.  I've spent all day reading out on our back deck and now I'm getting ready to make some strawberry Easter cupcakes.  I hope you enjoy this edition of what's what!  xoxo 1.  J.Crew Necklace I saw this necklace at J.Crew and instantly feel in love!  I adore the colors, the style and everything else about it.  Given my growing belly (if you haven't heard I'm prego-I will be posting about my experience very soon) I am looking for cute scarves and necklaces to help my wardrobe.  This necklace was a must have!! 2.  J.Crew Sale Speaking of J.Crew they are having an amazing sale right now with an additional 30% off!  Given I am only shopping for accessories these days I took the time to hit up the men's department for the hubs.  I found him some amazing shirts for work!  Let's just say the Easter Bunny shopped for the hubs and J.Crew and I

Hey lovely readers!  How are you? I'm not sure about you but I am ready for SPRING!  This last snap of cold weather that we are having in the ATL is doing nothing to help my spring fever.  I hope this edition of what's in my make up bag helps cure your spring fever :)  xoxo 1.  Cetaphil Moisturizer with SPF 15 So I have a super cute friend who is a PA at a dermatologists office so she's always giving me tips.  Her latest tip was use Cetaphil!!  She basically told me all other products are based off of Cetaphil they just have different packaging.  I snapped their moisturizer with SPF right up and I love it!!   2.  NARS Charade Duo Eyeshadow It's spring and I needed some new eyeshadow so I headed over to the NARS counter and had a blast.  I got a lot more than eyeshadow but I am loving this pinky mauve and plum combo and you will too!  :) 3.  NARS Deep Throat Blush While I as at the NARS counter I also snapped up a yummy peachy blush that I had been

Hey lovely readers!  How are you?   How rainy and gross has this weekend been?  I've taken this weekend to get some much needed rest!!!  The legislative session is almost over and it has kicked my butt (just to be honest).  So this weekend the hubs went golfing with his buddies in Alabama and I got some much needed alone time :)  It almost felt like my single days again.  I got to watch exactly what I wanted on TV, snuggle with Mae and walk around in PJ's all day.   Is it just me or have you been glued to MTV all weekend?!  This retro real world weekend has made this rainy weather so much more bearable.  It has also reminded me of some awful fashion choices-chokers, doc martin's, hats and vests, lots and lots of vests!   I also got some much needed stuff done around the house.  I got a jump on my spring cleaning and have a pile of goodies for the hubs to take to Goodwill when he returns.  I'm sure he will be thrilled :)  I also organized his Cool-Cat office...I

Happy Sunday this and thatters!  How are you spending this beautiful day?   The hubs and I had the most enjoyable day yesterday that included a lengthy trip to Barnes and Noble and a yummy lunch at California Pizza Kitchen.  I must confess I love CPK!  I know me and every five year old but what can I say it just hits the spot :) I'm sure your more interested in my B & N trip than my love of CPK so please enjoy what's on my nightstand!  xoxo 1.  Lilly by Kathryn Livingston If you are like me it's that time of year that you are looking longing at your spring clothes.  You feel like you are never going to get to wear them and the items that jump out the most are your Lilly pieces :)  I saw this memoir on Lilly Pulitzer and knew immediately I had to have it.  It is an amazing book (that I'm already half way through) about her life, her struggles and the rise and fall (and eventual rise again) of her fashion empire.  If you love all things Lilly this book is for

Happy Saturday this and thatters!  I hope you all had a fantastic week and I hope you have an even better weekend.  Please enjoy this edition of what's what!  xoxo 1.  Essie's Lollipop I finally got a much needed mani/pedi yesterday.  If you live in Atlanta you probably frequent Hammond Nails.  It is the best place to get your nails done in my opinion.  They have the best nail colors and staff!  I'm giving my nails a break from the gel polish so I'm all about trying new colors right now.  I fell in love with essie's lollipop and knew I had to try it once I picked up the color twice.  I am loving this color for spring and summer and you will too! 2.  Sweet Leaf Green Tea (Mint & Honey) Ok so I've been trying to not indulge in soft drinks.  I'm not sure if you read the latest article that came out on aspartame but I did and it scared the heck out of me.  In an effort to find something a bit more healthy I've been trying tons of differe

Hello beautiful! How are you?  Are you craving spring, like me?   Even though the weather has been less than spring like I've been snapping up some fun spring/summer accessories to help pass the time until sundress season :)   Enjoy!  xoxo 1.  Lovely Necklace from J.Crew Factory I died when I saw this necklace from J.Crew Factory!  It will be the perfect accessory to wear all spring and summer.  I will pair it with fun tops and shorts and sundresses! 2.  Jack Rogers I've had my silver pair of Jack Rogers for almost 7 years!  I decided it was about time I added another pair to my rotation.  I snapped up these lovely gold ones to wear all spring long!  I cannot wait for them to come in :) 3.  Pretty Tory Flats I literally almost fell over when I saw these in Nordstrom!  I didn't even worry about justifying them or thinking about how I would make them work with what I had I just bought them.  I know I will wear them all the time and I can'

Hello beautiful! How are you?  I apologize for my absence so here's a quick wrap-up of what I've been doing (instead of blogging). Are you loathing this winter weather as much as I am?  I broke out some fun snow cat capri's from J.Crew this week in revolt to this nasty weather.  My ankles were a bit cold but sometimes you have to suffer for fashion.   I'm still deeply in love with my closet!  It makes getting dressed so much fun and I LOVE being able to see everything I own organized and in one spot.  It actually takes me less time to get ready because I'm not twirling around looking for a shirt that I know I own but somehow cannot find....anywhere! I've been working on all things Cool-Cat.  Living and working with your hubby can sometimes be challenging because there are no off days (especially with my type A hubs).  It's been such an exciting time and really been amazing to watch things come together and flourish.  It's not for lack of har
