I've been a little extra obsessed with Target recently.  

To be exact, I've visited our local stores 3 times in the last 2 days. 

What's my problem?!  And what's worse (if you can say that any of 

it is a bad thing!) is that I search the entire store over every single 

time as if I've never stepped inside a Target, ever.  I do always seem

to find something new and awesome though!  Today's outfit is nearly

head to toe Target with my top, skirt, and sandals all being recent

finds!  I loved mixing the texture of the lace with the bold pattern of 

the polka dots.  And those glitter sandals, well, how did I not 

already have those?!  Thanks to Whitley from Simply Whit

 in a Sequined Life for the tip that they were available!

 Get them before they're gone, guys!

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!

Friday's Fancies: May Flowers

Top // Skirt // Bracelet // Earrings // Polish // Bag // Shoes

I know you've done your Spring floral shopping after
checking out this post from last week (I picked up the Toms!), so
today I'm giving you some styling inspiration for your floral duds!  I 
very quickly fell in love with this amazing pencil skirt and chose one
 of the understated colors to accent in the top.  A little contrast in the 
prints adds excitement to the look and the neutral accessories
keep it appropriate for many different social occasions.  

Head over to Long Distance Loving to see lots more floral inspiration!

Have an amazing weekend!!

Tyler and I were thrilled to have house guests over the weekend!  
Our wonderful friends Jared & Mary were in town from Virginia and we
got to spend some short precious time with them before they had to head back. 
We took them to eat at First Watch, a delicious breakfast/brunch/lunch spot here in 
Lex, on Sunday.  I quickly threw this outfit together for a no hassle look that was 
both fun and classic.  I just picked up these awesome wedges on clearance (only
 $14!!) Saturday and they were such a no brainer to add a pop of color to my outfit.
  I'll be getting lots of use out of them as they will go with everything! You should 
look for them soon because there weren't many left!!  Besides, JCP is having 
an extra 20% off through Wednesday and their selection is truly on point! 
Need proof? Just look here, here, and here!  Sooo good! 

There is still another week left to enter the
April Showers $500 Visa Gift Card Giveaway!  
Make sure to get your entries in!!

Friday's Fancies: Project Polka Dot

Top // Jeans // Necklace // Perfume // Lipstick // Clutch // Shoes

Polka dot ripped skinny jeans.  Yes, they are perfect.  
They also need to be in my closet immediately!  I'm loving the fab
pattern mixing looks I've seen from other bloggers lately and while I haven't
done it very much in my real life, I can definitely dream up a great combo
for my Friday's Fancies look!  Florals, polka dots, and bright pops of
color are definitely on my Spring wardrobe wish list. 

Interested in picking up some of these awesome 
items for yourself?  Then you should enter the April Showers 
Giveaway!  One lucky winner will be taking home a $500 Visa Gift Card
 to stock up on their Spring essentials!  You can enter here!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Today I'm so thankful to be celebrating my 100th blog post!!

Thank you all so much for all the fabulous encouragement you've sent

my way over the last 6 months!  This journey has been challenging at 

times and the easiest/most natural thing I've ever done at others.  It would

 have been a wasted endeavor, however, had I not have had you as

 my reader.  So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!

  Here's to the next 100!

Friday's Fancies: Black Friday

one // two // three // four // five // six


I hope each of you enjoyed
 a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones!!
Isn't it hard to believe that Black Friday is already here?! 
 For Friday's Fancies this week we're commemorating the kick-off of the 
holiday shopping season with some of our favorite looks based around the color black!  Instead of creating an outfit for you today, I opted to find some fabulous black items that are just dying to be in my closet!  I really can't say enough about each of these pieces; I am literally obsessed with each one!!  My husband and I are both working today, so
neither of us will be partaking in any Black Friday shopping.  If, however,
I find that any of these pieces are greatly discounted, I might have
to consider shopping online! ;)

As always, head over to Long Distance Loving to see 
all the other Friday's Fancies posts from the other really amazing bloggers!
Have a wonderful weekend!!

This one is short and sweet today, folks.  

My weekend was fairly uneventful (we all need those sometimes 

don't we?!) so the only pics I got to snap for you were these.  I threw this on

after work yesterday for dinner at Chuy's with my best guys: my husband, 

Tyler, and our BFF, Ricky.  I hope you all had a fabulous weekend - 

eventful or not!  I'll see you back here tomorrow!

It can be really hard to look chic on a rainy day. 

Today was no exception as the morning started off quite rainy and gloomy

here in Central Kentucky.  I turned to some of my trusty rain weather accessories

to help me through the day - and to add some necessary glam to an otherwise day in the 

fashion dumps.  Do you own a great pair of rain boots?  I've had these fun polka dot 

ones since my college years (seriously, has it already been more than 4 years since I

graduated?!).  I'm crushing on several other pairs (some of which are listed in the links!)

but never seem to buy new ones because of how long these suckers last!  If you don't own 

at least one pair, make sure to add them to your list for your next shopping trip!  You have 

no idea how much better a rainy day can be until you've conquered it with dry feet! 

Add a fun umbrella that fits your style and personality, and you're all set for

a glamorous rainy day!

I'm so excited that I finally made it out to Keeneland!

We braved the cold weather on Saturday to place a couple bets, spend time with 

friends, and get some of the most yummy hot chocolate I've ever had!  Seriously!! 

While I was bummed about the weather being so cold, the light at the end of the

 tunnel for me was knowing I would get to indulge in that fabulous hot chocolate! 

When I first started planning my outfit for the day, 

I had no idea it was going to get so cold, so I just kept adding layers and layers 

to my look.  This is basically the most clothes I've ever worn at one time!  And then 

I started adding on the jewelry and just couldn't stop!  I just had to wear my new

Versona Accessories necklace that I purchased with the gift card I won over at

Lex What Wear!  I hadn't heard of this amazing new store that opened in the Hamburg

 area here in Lexington until I saw the giveaway on LWW and, you guys, this store is amazing!! There are so many incredible pieces.  I couldn't stop with just using my gift 

card; I also bought 2other necklaces and 3 bracelets (2 of the bracelets are pictured with

 my watch).  Everything is so reasonably priced (statement necklaces for $10, $15, & $25!!) - it's definitely a new MUST on my shopping excursions!! 

Thanks again, Lex What Wear!!

I was finally able to enjoy some Fall fun over the weekend!!
On Sunday I traveled to Boyd Orchards with my best friends Ricky, Lauren, and 
Jonathan - my sweet hubby sadly couldn't come because of work. There were crazy 
winds and a threat of isolated thunderstorms, but we risked it anyway and had a great 
time getting lost in the corn maze, walking through the apple orchard, and picking our pumpkins.  We then took our perfect pumpkins back to Lauren and Jonathan's home 
where our friends Megan and Lucien joined us.  While us girls unleashed our creativity 
and decorated our pumpkins, the boys did what they do best on Sundays - watch 
football!  All in all it was a wonderful Fall day!

Ready for the Races

  

Keeneland's Fall Meet kicked off this past weekend and Lexington hasn't seen this much amazing fashion in months!  Although I wasn't able to attend opening weekend, I was more than happy to create a dream look of what I would have worn!!  I'm madly in love with all of these pieces - I need them in my wardrobe immediately! ;)  Oh, and the key for your Keeneland attire being successful is comfortable shoes!  There are long walks to and from the parking areas and if you don't reserve a seat you'll be standing for hours!  Leave the stilettos at home and instead opt for more comfortable wedges or even flats.
