What to wear on weekends

What to wear on weekends?

Happy Saturday! So what do I wear on weekends? This can be hard because sometimes we don't feel like changing out of our sweats. After the cleaning and sleeping in late get dressed it will make you feel better and you won't feel so sluggish. You will get done what you need to do like running errands. Here are a few simple tips I found and remember these are just the look I am giving you tips. You don't need to go out and get the same item. Just look at the staples. 

This look is a great look for weekend! 

1. Pair of crisp white jeans. 
Old Navy has great jeans for $19 or go to eBay and find your favorite jean for cheap! This white Jean is from J Brand and is $209.

2.Denim Shirt. 
This will take you from season to season and will go with anything. I even love a chambray shirt with a navy linen pant. I even saw a cue denim shirt with a maxi skirt and looked adorable tucked in. Obviously there are much cheaper options. This shirt is from Madwell and is $89

3. Straw Hat
This is so cute and when you are browsing at the farmers market at your local town this will keep your rays away.  I saw a similar hat at Walmat for $8.99.
This hat is from Mango and is $39 

4.Clear Sunglasses
Everyone needs sunglasses. I lose my left and right so I never want to spend too much on them and they don't need to be clear. These babies are from Hudson and Will set you back $220

5. Crossbody clear bag.
Personally I do not like this at all. I think a cute Coach Crossbody looks better any one. This bag is from Marc Jacobs $220


This outfit is great for the sports fan. Weather you are cheering on your little all star or a baseball or basketball game here is a way to look stylish!


1.Baseball style Jacket:
This is a cute style and is great look Like the famine style of this one. This one is from 3.1 Philli Lim $1200.00

2.Round Neck Sweater.
 I love a round neck because it easily lets you wear your favorite necklace!
This one is from Uniqlo $12.99

3.Nice bracelet.
This one is a cuff from catbird done in brass and is a arrow..

4.Boyfriend Jean.
This is a distressed Jean and I love them. I like to wear them with a cute ballet flat and a white tee. These are from Rag and Bone $229




Headed to the Gallery hop or first Friday here? This is a cute outfit! Opt for a statement piece of jewelry and a bold print so you can look artsy! Put balance into the outfit with a basic white and black accents.


1.Basic White Top
I love a crisp white blouse because a gorgeous statement necklace will be such a great accent.  White is so easy dirtied so opt for one that is cost effective! Can you imagine spending $895 on a blouse and getting coffee all over it? Plus over time white gets dingy. This crepe blouse is from miu miu $895.00

2.Love this necklace! Don't like the price. I just got a similar one on eBay by Ann Taylor New $8.95
This necklace is from Marni Horn $550.00

3.Printed Skirt.
I would try to match your skirt with some colors in your statement necklace. This is a great print skirt with zipper detail. By Kenzo $478.00

4. Great Black Satchel bag
A great black bag will take you from season to season. Also opt for a all clack crossbody bag so your hands can be free. Not necessarily for an outfit like this but something to think about! This bag is from Cole Haan $378


Maybe there is a movie planned this weekend with the girls!
This is adorable as it states girls just want to have fun! Oversized tote makes it easy to get your own snacks into the theater.  Great roomy top so you feel great and don't have to worry about over indulging. Keep a sweater on hand in case the air Conditioner is cranked up.

1. Print Tapered Pant.
This is a great piece because is not so casual you are on your way to the gym but not so over the top.
I love these pink and white ones here but you can get something similar at Talbots for Chico's.
These silk pink and white tapered pant is from Vanessa Bruno $254.00

2.Linen sweater.
I love a linen sweater it just screams summer you are here! I have one similar to this one from Ann Taylor LOFT and looks the same.  This Gray Linen sweater is from 360 and is $185.00

3.White Cotton shirt 
This is done in a A-Line style and is embroidered You can even opt for a crisp white blouse. This blouse is from Vanessa Bruno $520.00 




So a walk in the park. A picnic lunch?

This look is for you! You will look stylish and comfortable. The embellished tee brings it all together. Great wedge style shoe.

1. Boyfriend Jean. 
This looks great on anyone and to keep it casual maybe have a little distressed look
These are from GAP 1969 and $70 I have some on eBay.. $14

2. Embellished Tee
I love love love embellished Tees.. Did I say I love them? They can be paired with a black pencil skirt for a special occasion or wear it with the boyfriend jean.
This tee is pricey.. TNTees $170.00

3.Leather bag with gold chain.
This look is so elegant it is great in a neutral color.
This is made for a princess.. at least princess Kate
This bag is from Alexander McQueen $680.00

Everyone wants to be Cinderella or Snow White on their Wedding Day

Want to be a Disney Princess for your wedding day!

I came across these when I was looking for a few formal gowns I have listed and saw this collection. If anyone knows me I am obsessed with Cinderella. My husband took me to the movie and loved it but at the end when she marries her prince the dress she was wearing was very very similar to mine without the colorful flowers. I made a comment on our way out and Earl said "wow they are similar" So when I cam across these I had to blog and show my customers something fun to think about.  These dresses from Alfred Angelo. The first one is from the Cinderella movie and is a limited edition. (similar to what I wore on my wedding day) They also have a Disney bridesmaid collection. So cool... I wish there was something like this available when I was getting married!

This is the limited edition Cinderella Movie Wedding Dress 

This dress is Elsa's Wedding Dress 

This is the iconic Cinderella Wedding Dress

This is Snow Whites Wedding Dress... LOVE IT!!!

This is Belle's wedding dress

This is Ariel's Wedding Dress

This is Jasmine's Jumpsuit... Dress..


This is Rapunzel's Wedding Dress

This is Sleeping Beauty's Wedding Dress


Tiana's Wedding Dress


These are all so gorgeous!!!

Mother's Day Gifts

Mother's Day Gifts

Mother's day is fast approaching and don't wait til the last minute to get yours mother''s day gifts. I lost my mom 18 years ago and miss her everyday. I am glad to have my older sister and my aunt in my life. So which gift do you guys want? Earl maybe you will get a hint with this blog. I love mother's day because it is a day where I can sit down and be waited on hand and foot. I get "Happy Mother's day" all day from my one and only son. 
I sometimes let my husband know how generous he has been this year... Yea it means picking out your own gifts.

So here we go... You can even give your husbands or grown kids hints on what you like in the best gifts for Mother's Day

This is from Lizzie Fortunato $250. (Right) 

This is very pretty and perfect for the sophisticated lady. I love the fact that you do not need to get this exact piece but go to the store weather big box store and find a cheaper version I am sure Mom won't mind. It is perfect because of the floral print on the pearls in the front then the back is a plain pearl. This may be worn both sides under a crisp white collar blouse. 

(Left)
This can be found on etsy $22











This is from Anya Hindmarch $275 (right)

I love this color and the style that can hold your keys. The price is high but here there are alternatives. ( Left Fossil $29) eBay

Rhinestone Hair Clip from Dolce Gabbana $545 (right)

This is so pretty. Since I have short hair this is great to add for a special look and to try something different. Weather you have a wedding or another special occasion to just a date with your husband. This will add a little sparkle and shows the person hey I care about myself and you.
(Left) This is on etsy $45


This is a candle from MiN New York $195 (right)

I am not sure about spending this on a candle actually I know this is crazy so I am going to give you an alternative. This gorgeous with the gold and the ivory and black. This looks so elegant for any Mom.

This is on eBay $45

This is from Marc Cross $2900 (right)

This studded white purse is gorgeous but who can spend the $2900 on a purse. I like to switch out purses and even if I spent 10% of that I would make sure that sucker was used all year!

This is from Michael Kors.. still pricey at $390 but much cutter.

This is a wrap dress from Diane Von Frustenburg $474

. Very iconic style that is the best selling dress ever.  I love the style of dress and the print is great alternative to your basic colors.

This is from BCBG $88

These are from lllesteva $177 (right)

These are cute and I think this would make a great Mother's day gift but word to the wise. If you are anything like me I lose them if I paid $177 for sunglasses and lost them like my friend did in the ocean I would be sick to my stomach.

These are on eBay $5.99
Give me a few pair!!

Michael Kors Straw Bag $495
 
This is a gorgeous summer bag and some people will spend this money on a Michael Kors bag I want to give you an alternative.
