Pre-Birthday Mini Haul!

My birthday is still a week away, but I used some Gap rewards and some money I've made from Ebay sales to grab a few things off my never-ending WANT LIST.

Gap Tropical Print T

Gap Skinny Bermuda

Gap Stripe Open Knit Sweater

Tiger's Eye Monogrammed Necklace (Etsy)

Can't wait for everything to arrive!

Spring Fun

Easter is right around the corner, so you can imagine my delight when I saw this funny Peeps shirt at the store! It's Spring Break, so we are in total relaxation mode over here.

Today's Pick:

Peeps shirt, Thrift $2
Boyfriend Jeans, American Eagle, Thrift $3.25
Sperry Topsider Audrey boat shoes, Zappos
Brown braided belt, Old Navy (old)

My Oscar 2014 Favorites!

I love, love, love award season. For every event, I turn to E! for pre-show coverage and then watch the actual award show until the end!

My absolute favorite!

Some close seconds

Can't forget the boys!

My not so favorites...

I'm linking up with Pinterest Told Me To today as we rest on the cusp of spring!

Another fun Pinterest "find" I came across this week is the braided scarf.

My versions:

So cute!

 Note: choose long, lightweight scarves for the best results. Just when you thought there couldn't possibly be another way to wear a scarf!

Slush

Ice/Snow + Sun = Slush

Repeat

I've been spending most days in rain boots or snow boots. I need traction in these conditions - especially when I'm carrying my 40 pound baby girl. Which is a lot!

Today's Pick

Mustard Check button-down, Old Navy, $19
Ivory cable-knit sweater, Abercrombie, gifted
Grey skinnies, Forever 21, Consignment, $8
Patterned rain boots, no brand, reduced from $40 to $15. I waited forever for them to go down!

They definitely go with everything ;) And the wear I'm getting from them totally supports my case for a pair of Hunters!

Warm and Snuggly

The cold is here to stay for a while! The more layers, the more comfortable you are in these frigid temps.

I currently have my eye on a few North Face coats and my hub's permission to purchase one, so I'll post the winner once I decide.

Today's Pick:

Rust acrylic sweater, consignment, $8

Ivory long sleeve t-shirt, Maurices, 2/$10

Dark, whiskered skinnies, JCP, $9.97

Cowboy boots, consignment, $10

Stella and Dot necklace (splurge)

Casual Friday

Today, I'm getting "Pin-spired" and linking up with Pinterest Told Me To.
