Here is this weeks inspiration pin

Melissa  and I took this in completely different ways again!  That's the beauty behind this little feature!

Here is my take, hope you like:

(Whoa frizz, calm down!)

Dress // Ross

Booties // Target (similar)

Bracelet // F21

Sunnies // Target

Earrings // Target

Lipstick // Maybelline Vivids Neon Red 

I loved our inspiration pin for the mixture of the dainty lace top with the leather jacket and booties.  I learned my lesson last week with the blazer and decided not to go with leggings, but I added a black braided belt instead.

New (sort-of) Link Up

Ok, so Melissa and I actually started this link up this past Tuesday, but I did a horrible job promoting it! oops!  Also, I had a few emails and comments that weren't really clear on the "rules".  Well, there are no rules.  This blog hop is just a fun way to meet some new people. You can link up anything, it does not, I repeat does NOT have to be from Pinterest.  

Melissa and I are the ones choosing our inspiration from Pinterest, so do not feel like you can't link up because your post has nothing to do with Pinterest!

Sooo, with that said, I hope to see you all next week for round 3 of Pin It & Spin It.  

Pin It & Spin It >> Round 2

It's time for round 2 of Pin It and Spin It!  This week we are featuring the lovely Jenn from Jennifer Therese!  

This week we chose this pin as our inspiration!

Make sure to check out Melissa and Jenn to see their spin on this outfit!

Also new to the feature is the link up!  You can link up anything you have tried from Pinterest (an outfit, a craft, recipe, anything!) and link up your post at the bottom!

Now on to my take on the pin:

Shirt // Thrift

Dress // Walmart

Shoes and Belt // Ross

Watch, Earrings, and Ring // Target

 I had so much fun putting this outfit together, it really got me to look at my closet in a new way!  This is actually a dress that I put a shirt over!  To be completely honest, it was a few too many layers for NC this time of year, but would be perfect for early Spring!

I hope you liked our spins!

Now it's your turn to link up something you tried from Pinterest!

Pin It & Spin It

I'm so excited to introduce you to Melissa from Melissa Rey Styles.  She is super sweet and has great style (for both herself and her home!).  

Each week we will choose a pin from Pinterest as our inspiration and put our own "spin" on it.

We will also feature a different blogger from time to time to participate in that weeks outfit!

So, if you are interested in being featured leave a message in the comments!

Now, on to week 1 of Pin It & Spin It.  We chose this pin as our inspiration this week!

I approached the outfit pretty literally this week! I bought this skirt last summer and have yet to wear it, so as you can imagine, I was beyond excited to incorporate it into an outfit!  

I chose to forgo the jacket, and incorporated the brown in my shoes (which you can't see anyway!). 

This outfit brought to you unintentionally by Target!

Shirt: Target

Skirt: Target (old)

Shoes: Target

Watch: Target

Gold Bracelet: F21

Necklace: Avon

I hope you enjoyed the first installment of Pin It and Spin It!  Also, be sure to check out Melissa to see her "spin"!

Shop Update!

So I finally got around to updating the Etsy shop!  I have had some of these items made for quite some time but never got around to posting them until now! 

Do you jump the gun when it comes to Holiday outfits and decorations?  Me either, if you do you can get your little beauty's 4th of July accessories here! 

Here is the first item in our new line: The Rock Star Collection and am currently working on several others that I'm super excited about it!  So if you want your baby to get their moonwalk on, hurry over and scoop this "Bad" boy up before they are all gone! 

Do you need new baby decorations? I know I'm always in the market!

Follow us on Instagram here to be the first to see new items!
Oh, and I've got a pretty awesome giveaway planned for when the shop reaches 100 followers, so spread the word!!

Dress: Ross

Sandals: Target (last year)

Watch: Target

Necklace: Gift

Sunnies:Target

This was another dress that I bought when I was pregnant with Harper and I still love it!  You may notice that when it warms up, my spring/summer uniform is an easy dress and some sort of sandal.  It doesn't really get much easier than a dress (unless you are breastfeeding, which I currently am, and feedings can be a bit awkward if you have to basically pull your entire dress up to access the goods!).

Also, I am still finding silk worms on my body after taking these pictures!  They are EVERYWHERE!

In other random news:

I saw a man walking a pig this morning. Yep, you read that right, walking a pig. on a leash. a pig. Like full on Babe, not a little one!

Also, Ainsley has a loose tooth.  If you are basically anyone but me, this would be an exciting time! Her first loose tooth! For me, not so much!  I can take blood and guts and pretty much anything else, but put a child in front of me and wiggle their barely hanging on loose tooth and I will likely barf everywhere!

Dress: Ross

 Wedges: Target

 Watch: Target

Spike Bracelet: Apple of My Eye

Necklaces: Gifts

Black/Brown Ring: Target

Sunnies: Target (I like Target!) 

I love this dress, it is so comfortable!  I bought it when I was pregnant (it's not maternity) and wore it all the time.  I will say, if you are expecting, don't go straight for the maternity section.  There are a lot of clothes (like this dress) that can work for a growing belly.  You may need to get a size larger but that will give you something to wear those few months after you give birth and are getting your body back.  There are a few things that you will need to purchase from the maternity section, but for the most part you can buy regular clothes.  It's also much kinder to your wallet!  

Luckily, this style of dress was perfect while I was pregnant and it works great now.  It can be dressed up or down and did I mention how comfortable it is?!

Fool me once!

If you were to look at these pictures you would probably assume a few things.  One, that it was pretty warm outside, I mean I am wearing a skirt, and two that I am wearing these sunglasses for the sole purpose that they were intended, to keep the sun out of my eyes.  Well you my friend would be wrong!  It is NOT warm outside!  See, I had the same assumption for the past two days, I woke up to a beautiful sunshine and just knew it was going to be warm.  I got up yesterday and put on some jeans and a short sleeve shirt (no jacket), got Ainsley ready for school, jacket and all (?), then stepped outside and froze my buns off!  Not today, I'm on to you weather, and your tomfoolery!  I may be wearing a skirt here but I am also wearing leggings underneath!  Fool me once, shame on you!

As for the sunglasses, well little miss Harper has started flipping from her back to her belly when she is going to sleep, yet she can't seem to get to sleep on her tummy.  This has lead to several night awakenings, just when I got used to sleeping through the night!  It's like her whole body is against me! I go in and flip her onto her back, insert paci and sneak away, only to have her immediately grab said paci pull it out of her mouth and flip back to her belly.  It's like her body has a mind of it's own because it is clear she does not like any of it!  This ends when I finally turn down the monitor and let her figure out how to sleep on her tummy.  Which she does, but only after putting up a pretty big fight!  So the glasses are not only for the sun (which is hopefully here to stay) but also to hide the ginormous bags under my eyes!

Sweet, sweet relief!
