I have been craving some HIGH TOPS! I don't know what it is...I think they would look great with some cut off denim shorts, skinny jeans, joggers...WHATEVER!
On trend for spring is...Florals! But really, when are they not? I say they are always in for every spring. I put together a pretty little floral style board with lots of cute things for spring! I LOVE the idea of a crop top and a maxi skirt! That little floral crop top is under $10 on amazon! Hmmm....I wonder what's going to show up in my amazon cart.... :)
Festival season is upon us guys! I'm actually hitting one up myself the first weekend in May in Memphis Tennessee. While we're there we are also going to tour Graceland which, my friends...it is hard to hold in my excitement about that bit of fun! It's not Coachella (which is on my bucket list) but planning what I'm going to wear to the Beale Street Music Festival is fun, fun, fun. The Bleachers are on repeat for me right now so I'm super stoked to see them perform Saturday night. I would love to have any of these in my arsenal to choose from:
Since we all know that I am nominated for an Academy Award, I wanted to share with you what I would be wearing. Oh and I also won the lottery yesterday and I'm trying to figure out what to do with $450 mil. So, there's that too.
The Academy Awards is one of my most favorite things (hey Oprah!) and I love it equally for the movies and the fashion. You may already know, if you know me in real life, that I am addicted to movies and dissecting them, loving them or hating them. I haven't seen all of the movies that have been nominated YET. I'm hoping to get some in this weekend. Boyhood - I just can't. It's too close to my heart and I don't think I would come out the other side in a very good mood. But the idea of sticking to one cast over the course of 12 years. Amazing. Clearly thinking outside of the box and that's just plain awesome.
To get you in the mood, here is what I would want my stylist to pull for me to try on! I would lean towards that beautiful white one. Trending this year (per the experts) are sequins, sheer and pants (like Emma Stone at the Golden Globes)! We'll see if anyone is brave enough to rock the pants. Personally, I love the good ole' classics like white and black. You can just never go wrong with that combo.
Onto the nominees! Oscar.com has the entire list HERE

Boy am I a lover of these sweatpants disguised as style trouser type things called Joggers! I've featured them on here before but know I am seeing them everywhere even down to Old Navy. Which means they are super budget friendly. I am not seeing them in the thrift stores that much but the consignment shops are showcasing them. I did find one pair of mine for $7 at a local shop.
So...comfy, stylish and affordable all at the same time? I cannot ask for more. I love how you can wear them with flats and they can come off as sporty chic. Heels, of course, are always a good companion for a slouchy pant because it can make the outfit look dressier in a flash. Wow. Wearing my pajamas out of the house. Thank you fashion gods.
Y'all I don't know what to tell you other than I need therapy for how much I love boots. Tall boots, ankle boots, heeled boots, cowgirl boots. Sheesh. I can't help it. The rich colors and rustic feel just gets me every time. Makes me want to crunch the leaves under my feet and drink hot cider. Whoa! Hold me back!
Here's a few of my favorites I have fallen in love with while window shopping. I included a beautiful deep green pair for my sweet friend that is in the market for a pair! Links are down below if you need the deets.
As usual I'm a little late in the game with actually getting fully on board with a trend. I think I let it sink in for a bit and see what other ladies are doing with it before I go full steam ahead. I'm not a trendsetter that's for sure. But after seeing the slip on's make there way across the blogs I have ended up really liking them.
I've got a little trip coming up soon that I have to do some walking and I wanted to stay stylish but comfortable. I think one of these will be the winner!
I am feeling the excitement/sheer dread of bathing suit season again. But you know what? With bathing suits like these all my fears kind of melt away. These ladies look fabulous! I love the clean lines and that fringe too! Wow! I may have to have that one.
One of the things that is so frustrating about getting these injuries from the car wreck is my inability to work out right now. I say frustrating...its really depressing too. I've had my moments this past week breaking down and having a full on pity party. I know the accident could have been so much worse. I have to remind myself that. Gratitude is what I have to focus on. If not, I end up going down this black hole of why me? and I just want my life back! and none of this was my fault! I get my stitches in my right knee out today. I'm hoping for the best and that my knee will be back to normal a few weeks after that. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Before the accident I was working my way up to my first 5k. I was using the RunDouble fitness app on my phone and I loved it so so much. It linked directly to MyFitnessPal app too, gosh darnit. I'm not sure how everything will turn out now but I want to be hopeful that I can get back to where I was. Even if my knee does fully heal I don't know how running with an arm splint really works and if it will make my wrist swell, etc. I'll try it. In the meantime all of the lovely workout gear makes me miss it even more! I put together a styleboard to calm my nerves. Stay calm and make a styleboard right? Ha!
I love the new Target commercial that is on right now and the catchy little song that goes along with it. I stopped what I was doing and thought who is that? I googled it and found out it was Haim. My memory came rushing back of watching them on Saturday Night Live and really loving them but forgetting to do anything about it at the time.
Now I'm jamming to them all the time AND loving their style! This is all the motivation I needed to grow my hair out again.
Here's the song that reminded me how much I love these gals
