Simple sometimes is just the easiest way to go. I went for a more comfortable look today that still said I got dressed and put on real clothes, haha. I am wearing my favorite espadrilles that not only look cute but are comfy as well. The only issue I had with them is on my left foot I got a blister in the back of my ankle where the straps cross, I think it was because I strapped them on too tight. I'll let you know next time.

Nothing special happening today, I registered for all my classes last night and I am not every excited about more school (hooray...), but glad I got into all the classes I wanted/need to take. I only have about a month left in this semester so it is crunch time. I hate that towards the end of the semesters professors give a lot more homework and projects to do.

I feel like I maybe a little late to the party, but I am obsessed with the Target Who What Wear collection! I've picked up about 6 or 7 pieces from the collection so far. The quality on the items are amazing for the price. This blouse was under $25, but felt like it could have been from Banana Republic or J.Crew. I also bought it in the black and white polka dot print. It is kind of funny because before I went to Florida, I was helping my mom pick out outfits and I had her try on a bunch of cute things for the collection and she actually bought the polka dot blouse first, so now we are just going to be twinning! Also just as a warning, you will be seeing a lot more of this vest in the upcoming post. It is the perfect Spring piece and just seems to go with everything...my apologies. I also picked that up at Target for a great price! I also bought these OTK boots in black because they were such a great price and I seem to wear the cognac pair a lot. Today I am registering for Fall classes as well as Summer classes. Fingers crossed I get my top picks. 

Happy Weekend!

Happy (almost) weekend! You're almost there! I adore this sweatshirt so much, I think I've thrown it on a couple different times this week because it is super cozy and soft. I do feel like of weird wearing it on a weekday when it says Happy Weekend, haha, but at the same time, I think it is so adorable and matches my new necklace perfectly. They also have this super cute palm tree printed sweatshirt! 

I don't have any crazy weekend plans yet, I might stop by and play with the puppy a little tonight or go out to dinner with my momma. No official plans yet. But I know a nap will be in the works later on, I had to get up super early this morning to go babysit and now I am off to work.

I've used St. Ives products for the longest time but it wasn't until recently they have become products I use on a daily basis based on a few factors. They are inexpensive (under $5 for 21 oz. lotion or 9 oz. body scrub), they smell absolutely amazing, and leave my skin looking refreshed and healthy.

The St. Ives Nourished & Smooth Oatmeal Body Scrub is the perfect product to had to your shower routine! After every shower my skin is soft and healthy looking. It smooth's away dullness and is made from 100% natural exfoliates. I have used the face scrub in the Apricot scent for years and seriously my skin feels absolutely amazing when I use it. Both of these products are new, so if you are a fan of St. Ives, try out these new products and see how having oatmeal in the mix can make a difference.

No green for me today, but instead from friend Alana from Sophistication and Sparkles and I decided to team up and bring you two looks that are a easy transition into Spring. Right now the weather can be a little wacky, some days it is warm and sunny well the next it could be snowing. I stayed cozy in this sweater that is the perfect pastel purple for Spring. It is perfect for those days you never know what you'll be getting weather wise. Alana and I both have similar Kate Spade lilac bags so we had to show those off! Mine was bought a couple years ago but can probably be found on eBay or Poshmark. The inside has a super cute bow print! Also a Huge shout out to my Aunt Kim and Uncle Jerry for these awesome Kate Spade sunglasses they got me for Christmas! I absolutely adore them!

Be sure to check out Alana's blog and follow her on Instagram!

P.S the Tory Burch private sale is happening right now through the 21st, things are going super fast, but there are a ton of classic favorites like the York tote ( I have my eye on this), Miller sandals, Reva flats and even this Robinson tote I just bought is available!
