inVESTed

You guys, I think this is it.  Yes, I think this could be the perfect vest and it's from.. wait for it.. Target! Of course, it's from Target, right?!  I came across this beauty while perusing Pinterest over the weekend (all credit goes to Tara of Mix & Match Fashion for finding it!) and you'd better believe I'm hoping to score it in person today.  I'm lucky enough to work right across the street from one of the very few Targets in NYC and thankfully it is listed as in stock.  [Whew! I just got a little panicked thinking that it might not have been in stock!]  So today on my lunch break, with the 20% off coupon I've been hoarding just for an occasion such as this, I'll hopefully be purchasing this greatness. I mean, do you see the optional fur hood? Yes? Okay. You get it? Okay. I'm done! :)

Yes ladies (& gents!), the bangs are back!!  

It's been a while since I've sported the full bang and I'd be lying

if I said I hadn't missed them!  I went for a haircut yesterday and decided

to jump back to this longtime favorite style of mine!  The cut was just one of

 the many wedding week preparations I'm in the midst of.  Today I'm going for

 my spray tan (finally some color, I know!) and tomorrow I'm going for a long

 overdue mani with Megan (the fabulous bride-to-be) and all the amazing

 bridesmaids!  I can hardly believe Megan's wedding is only

 a few days away! She is going to be the most

incredibly beautiful bride!!  

Anyone else in or attending a wedding this weekend? 

 I can't wait to see all the gorgeous dresses that 

you all will be wearing to them!!

Don't you just love how social media brings people together?!
Late last week I received a comment on an Instagram photo from

@whitschoop [aka Whitley of Simply Whit in a Sequined Life] asking

if I was from Lexington! Well, yes I am!  We were both so excited to 

find another Lexington blogger (there aren't many of us!) that we quickly

scheduled a coffee date to meet!  So yesterday we spent a couple of 

hours gabbing in Starbucks about life, love, shopping and blogging!

She is insanely sweet and has insane style!  You all should definitely 

check out her adorbale blog for some serious style inspiration!

I love adding a few girly accessories to an otherwise

simple (yet so cozy!) outfit.  My new pearl ring fits in so well

with my necklace that I've had forever and my pear earrings that I 

wore in my wedding.  And how about my sweet hair bow that was 

handmade by my blogging friend Star from Beauty & Bows?!  She is so 

talented!!  Be sure to check back here tomorrow for a fabulous

giveaway from her!  Hint: there will definitely be bows!!

Sometimes I forget what color my hair is until I put an outfit like this 

together and it completely blends in with what I'm wearing.  Oh well! 

At least my hair is that perfect shade of auburn and it blends perfectly with

that generic bobby pin shade!  That's one way to look at it, right?! ;) I just

 couldn't wait any longer to break out a few of those great Target finds I was 

telling you about in this post.  The shoes were only $15 and the hat was

only $6!  I sure do love an end-of-season sale!  Also, I'm finally showing off

my gorgeous clutch from K.slademade!  You may remember when I featured

them as part of my Christmas gift guide in this post.  Well, my mom was 

so kind as to order me one of my own for Christmas!  Thanks Mom!!

I'm so sorry for the lack of outfit posts lately.  My life has been a little 

crazy with the busy season at work beginning (PROM!) and losing daylight 

at such an early hour.  Hopefully I'll get in the swing of things soon because

 I have so many outfits that I'm eager to share!  I promise to do better! :)

Target Markdowns!

Row 1:

one // two // three

Row 2:

one // two // three

Row 1:
one // two // three
Row 2:
one // two // three


  Maybe I'm a little late on this because, strangely, it has been
 a couple of weeks since I was in Target, but I went a little wild during my 
shopping trip yesterday with all of the crazy good markdowns they have right now! 
Nearly all of the goods I've been eyeing over the last couple of months are 50-70% off!  I primarily shopped accessories, so I thought I should share the shopping tip with you guys!  I picked up nearly all the shoes in the first set (and might still go back for what I didn't get!) and the awesome gold bag in the second set.  I found a fabulous fur infinity scarf and a leopard floppy hat, too, but couldn't find them online.  So, basically, you need to run to Target to scoop up these deals ASAP and peep their spring collections - 
the pastels and the neons are incredible!!

Happy Monday!!
