Tangerine Dream.

Spring is upon on us and it doesn't get much better than wedges, summer dresses and Bluebonnets.

The spring color du jour that I can not get enough of is Tangerine. I believe the perfect way to rock the color of the moment is through accessories. You can wear them with different outfits and when the color is no more, you don't have a bright orange dress sitting in your closet for the next 2-3 years.

Here is some great ways to rock the color!







These flats by Nine & Co. are only $22 at JC Penny!





"Bar Graph" Scarf by Francesca's Collections for $18!

Friday Find.

I am currently obsessed with wedge mary janes. Wedges are usually a spring/summer shoe, but these wedges could not be more perfect for fall and winter. Add a cute pair of tights and a sweater dress and your look will be complete!





Loving these Steve Madden Peep Toe Wedges on Overstock. com. Steal them for $61.99 (and free shipping!)

A Big Tulle.

For Halloween I will be venturing to New Orleans for The Voodoo Music Festival! Snoop Dogg and Blink 182 in the same weekend?! You can't find that anywhere, but New Orleans of Course.

My parents lived in New Orleans for a little over two years, but I never experienced Halloween there and from what I hear, it is a Halloween like no other. Some of you might say, "Well every day is like Halloween in New Orleans", and this may be true, so all the more reason to go all out for the actual day!

For my costume I have decided to incorporate a tutu. Being as I am not a 5 year old ballerina there are not many stores that sell adult tutu's. I had to make tutu's a few months back and couldn't believe how easy it was! My after pictures will soon follow.Bellow is an easy how-to guide.

You can add a tutu to just about anything to make a great last minute Halloween costume!

A Cure for the Uncommon Cold.

Houston has its first real cold front moving through and this is enough for every gal to climb up into her attic or dig under her bed for the chance that she might get to wear a cute winter coat (even it is only for 2 days!)


One of the best hidden online stores for apperal is Victoria Secret! When living in Lubbock, I was lucky enough to experience all four seasons for 4 years. My mom got me a beautiful camel colored coat from Victoria Secret for Christmas. See picture below.



Victoria Secret has a beautiful selection of coats. Somewhat pricey, however a coat is in an investment. I still wear my coats that I got in high school! VS has free shipping for orders over $100 and if doesn't fit they have a very easy return policy!

Friday Find.

Every Friday I will showcase what I find to be the great find for the week! First up, this lovely handbag from H&M. Nothing goes better with a cute fall outfit then a great leather bag. To me the classic look of this handbag makes it a staple piece that could be in your closet for many years to come. At only $34.95, how can you beat that?! If only I had a H&M near me. We will be together one day.

Jack in the Pumpkin.

It has been quite sometime since I carved a pumpkin, but I attempt to do so with a nice Blue Moon Harvest Ale in hand this weekend! While searching around on Pinterest (totally addicted), I found some great links for pumpkin carving templates. You really can't go wrong with anything on the Martha Stewart Website.










Simply print the template and use it as a stencil on your pumpkin. The templates can be found at: www.marthastewart.com/halloween-center

Pictures soon to follow!

Cheers to it almost being Friday!
