{friday 5}

Happy FRIDAY!!  I’m currently away crossing some items off my summer to-do’s and chasing lower temps along the coast.  But, I didn’t want to leave you hanging on a Friday.  I know you are all dying to hear what’s on my mind today, right?  Haha.  Well just incase you are, here’s what I’ve got…..

 

ONE – Red + White + Blue // Our Bike Parade outfits have arrived.  Is it possible that we are even more excited now:)  Yes, it is!  The bike decorations are purchased.  The bud light is in abundance.  Donut tower is set and ready to be loaded up with sugary snacks.  We’ve got fishie crackers by the gallon.   And balloons by the dozen.  The only thing left was our outfits.  And I almost dropped the ball.

Low and behold, they arrived!!!  Just in the nick of time….and we are good to go!!

I’m sure you’ve all seen the adorable Ily Couture graphic tee’s all over instagram.  I just had to get one.

Bay’s Dress //

I almost purchased this online for the original price.  Which I NEVER do.  When you’re on a red + white + blue mission, sometimes you do out of character shit.  Luckily I had a couple of extra minutes to run into the Davis GAP and there it was.  Guess how much?  $12!  40% off + 10% cardholder discount.  I would have kicked myself for paying full price.  Moral of the story, NEVER pay full price at GAP!  Ever!

TWO – Breakfast Popsicles // Popsicles for breakfast, you heard me right.  Come on Mom, it’s summer!!  Especially with these hot temps…why not?  It’s basically a yogurt fruit bowl, but in the form of a fun popsicle.  You can make a batch for the week and keep them in the freezer.  You know what that means?  Breakfast is served and you don’t have to do shit!  Grab and go..Bam!  A healthy breakfast is served 🙂

Our eyelet flutter sleeve + distressed denim game is on fleek today!  #ootd

Edgy yet feminine!  Eyelet flutter sleeves give it the girly flare.  Distressed denim for just a touch of edge!  One of my favorite combos ♥

It’s even better when your girl has the same combo and is down to take 100 selfies with you!!

This year, the color of spring is PINK!  Yes ladies, pink is officially chic.  Ha!!  When I think pink, the first thing that comes to mind is Barbie doll pink.  Nooo!  Not just any pink.  I’m talking dusty rose.  Pastel pink.  Pale pink.

 

This perfect pink seriously the easiest color to style.  It goes with anything and everything you already own.  Trust me!  Every online clothing site I shop has pink featured all over their website.  Black + Pink…yesss!  White + pink…always safe.  Denim + pink…forever.  How about green + pink?  I vote yes!  Pink + stripes.  Pink + Navy…I could go on and on……

 

Here are some of my pink picks….

Pink Bomber Jacket // Linen Lace V-neck Tank //  Strappy Ankle Tie Sandal // Pink Stripe Tie-Front Shirt // Spaghetti-Strap Bodysuit // Off the Shoulder Tee

{4 spring closet staples}

apm021-01.jpg

 

It’s not only Thursday, there is SUNSHINE people!

Hello Sunshine, please feel free to stay a while.

Guess what else?  I’m legit wearing sandals today.  Swear.  And short sleeves.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s a little chilly!  But, sometimes you just gotta say fuck it, right?!?!

In honor of this spring-like weather, I’m sharing 4 spring clothing staples that will be on repeat!  Casual + cute + comfy!

Here’s my  #ootd #wiw!

#1 Kimono

Xhilaration – Printed Maxi Kimono Jacket Petal Pink ($27.99) This NEW arrival hit Target last week….and so did I!  It’s a cross between a Kimono + a duster.  I kinda want to rock it as a swimsuit cover-up too.  Super versatile.  Size down…I bought the xs/s and it fits perfect.

Anyone else feeling the same?  January has never been a top contender when playing favorites.  Other than it being my birth month.  I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself for the new year’s start to fall seamlessly into place.  Which, once again, is not the case…lol!

Day 32/month 2 of 2017 is feeling more up to my speed.  Calm!

With that said, cheers to February!

I’m completely OVER the cold weather + winter clothing too.  Super inspired by minimal dressing.  NOT meaning less clothing, more like a minimal look.  Jeans (as always) + light sweaters + T-shirts.  100% ready to transition into Spring!

Soooo, I went to Target to check out their new Spring release…..obviously 🙂

If wearing this pink sweater 3 times since last Friday is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.

{canadian tuxedo}

Proving my devotion to denim today.  Only today is denim on denim.  AKA the Canadian Tuxedo.

When I hear Canadian tuxedo, this is what I picture in my head……

So, so bad.  All bad.  Like, fuck no BAD!

 

Once again Urban Dictionary said it best:

Today it refers to any outfit consisting of a denim jacket, with denim jeans. Originating in the 1950s, crooner Bing Crosby was nearly rejected from an upscale hotel because he had been wearing an all-denim outfit. Levis heard of this and sent him a special-made all denim tuxedo.
Justin looked completely ridiculous wearing his Canadian tuxedo

Here’s my first shot.  Next time I’m busting out the denim jacket too 🙂

{holiday red}

If you need something to cheer you up with this freezing rainy weather, this jacket will do the trick!!

So, if you too are in the need of some cheer – make your way to Old Navy STAT.  This jacket is $13.  And I don’t know how long that will last.

I love red!  When the Holidays come around my red comes out in full force.

IMG_1876.JPG

This jacket is perfect.  You can throw it on with anything.  Even yoga pants.  (I tested it out last night on my grocery store run!!)

{christmas jams}

fullsizerender-6
Holly, Bailey’s Elf On the Dam Shelf arrives with Christmas Jams each year.  Normally December 1st.  If you read Friday 5 then you know that Old Navy screwed that all up for me this year…lol.  So Holly arrived on December 2nd.  Which, to my surprise, Bailey didn’t even notice.
I went for the less traditional Christmas Jams this year.  When I saw this metallic gold heart set I knew it was happening.  Super cute and Bay loves them.
She even mentioned that Holly has super cute taste and always picks out the best jams.  As if I have awful taste and pick out the worst…lol!  They were a hit!
In case you’re still in need of a festive pair of pj’s for Christmas morning…I’ve rounded up some cute options.  Target + Old Navy + Gap + J.Crew.  My go-to stores for the best kids stuff.
