Faux Fur Poncho








target fedora hat <Sold out> similar HERE | purse | poncho <sold out> Similar HERE & HERE
ring | watch | boots <old> similar HERE | sunglasses ONLY $20 <PRADA DUPES>
| jeans | turtleneck | earrings


SHOP MY POST

There is something so comfy and magical about a poncho but add the faux fur and it just dresses it all up. I can not begin to tell you how many compliments I got on this beauty. It was a steal at Target but sold out so fast! I found a few similar options but you might want to stalk a Target store because I was told they should come back in stock in store but not online.

Anyway... I am headed to Jingle Ball tonight - it s a big ball to raise money for the Salvation Army and give kids that don't have toys for the holidays a real Christmas. 
I am VERY excited and I love having fun for a good cause and I hope to encourage you to donate toys to a needy family or organization for the holidays! With all the shopping we do as bloggers its the least we can do to help out a child in need!
Hope you are having a fabulous Tuesday!

Fall Faux Fur











Sunglasses = Prada Dupes
faux fur vest <Jessica Simpson - sold out > similar HERE

SHOP MY POST

 I love faux fur's and I am always trying to find unique ones. They come and go so quickly but I listed a bunch above. The fall cold weather has finally started settling in after weeks of warm days! My cold weather clothes were screaming to get out and luckily we have had some chilly days appear here in Raleigh. A faux fur vest is an easy way to work the fur trend into your wardrobe this season. Its a perfect topper to throw on over almost any outfit. But, most of all it just keeps me super comfy.



Happy Shopping!

COLOR EXPLOSION MAXI









Before you say you hate me. On Sunday - this dress was still in stock at Target and then last night as I was writing this blog post and went to add the link to it >> boom >> there was none left. I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED -- But I want to cry. 

There is nothing I hate more than posting a dress you can't get but I found some similar looks and linked them below. Good news is you might still be able to find it in your local target store. 

 dress: <sold out @target> available in black here
 my other fav dress option is here // earrings //sunglasses <NastyGal sold out> similar here // wedges - sold out similar HERE // neon bag (only 3 left!)//loren hope bracelet <sold out> similar HERE //
 white bracelets // watch // kendra scott owen ring // kendra scott 'naomi' ring - white SOLD OUT -- similar here and here // nail polish // Ann Taylor bracelets: here and here

I will tell you this. Lately TARGET has been killing it with the dresses!!
 In my last post this blue dress is still available and fabulous. But I am also loving all these other great options. Hope you find a maxi you can fall in love with because I AM LIVING in all of mine. Sorry for the MAXI OVERLOAD but its been HOT HOT HOT in Raleigh!

As you can tell I was pretty excited to wear it! Nate and I went out to lunch on Sunday at the Village Deli in Cameron Village and I got so many compliments. Trust me when I say you will love this dress. Crochet on the top and light on the bottom - just an easy breezy outfit for a hot day out. 

Hope you love it as much as I do. I have a big obsession with Maxi's right now!

Fourth Of July Festivities


Sometimes you just feel like you need a vacation from your vacation! LOL -- I am exhausted but I truly had the most amazing time in Carolina Beach, NC. We stayed at The Savannah Inn: a quaint and lovely spot literally 5 steps from the beach and it was spectacular.


Every year I feel like the Red White and Blue holidays roll in and I have NOTHING to wear. haha! <<story of my life>> So, this year I decided I was going to go overboard and have an unlimited amount of everything you could imagine red, white, and blue.



 

top //shoes //distressed shorts // beach hat // bag < only available in stores at Target: similar here and  here // red white and blue bracelets <SOLD OUT> - Similar here // white bracelets // watch // kendra scott owen ring // kendra scott 'naomi' ring - white SOLD OUT -- similar here and here // earrings <sold out> similar here//

INSTAGRAM VACAY RE CAP:

          sunglasses <NastyGal sold out> similar here // beach hat
dress will be posted on the blog Wednesday // turquoise bracelets <old>similar here//

No trip is complete to Carolina Beach without a stop at the
WORLD FAMOUS SQUIGLEYS ICE CREAM!
This place had a line around the building but it was amazing! This is a must stop if you ever visit.

I had the most wonderful weekend and I am just so glad we were able to find a hotel because I am so last minute!! I waited until the day off to book a hotel haha! But in the end everything worked out! Luckily, someone cancelled their stay at the Savannah Inn so that opened up a spot for us! 
Woot woot!
I cant wait to go back!! What a blast!
Hope you had an amazing 4th too!
