Thunder Up! Blue Eyelet Dress and Orange Clutch

Off-the-shoulder Eyelet Dress (Under $20!) // Fold-Over Orange Clutch c/o Polished Prairie // Sunglasses (Color Brown/Black) // Jeffrey Campbell Wedges

 

We are all "Thundering Up" today in the state of Oklahoma! The OKC Thunder are playing the Utah Jazz tonight in game four of the playoffs and we need a win to stay well alive in the playoffs!  So, in honor of the big game tonight I'm showing my spirit today in this blue eyelet dress  (you guys will NOT believe how cheap this dress is!!) and carrying one of my favorite spring accessories, this bright orange fold-over clutch from Polished Prairie! 

 

Polished Prairie is a local boutique out of Stillwater, Oklahoma and most of their items for sale are hand-made and designed by shop owner, Anna. How awesome is that? I'm a big advocate of shopping local and supporting the small businesses in my state but love even more that these items are created with such talent! Even if you aren't local, check out their boutique here cause they do ship! Also loving this bow clutch! 

 

All my Okies, do you have big plans for the game tonight? My non-Thunder fans, did your team make it to the playoffs this year? Who are you rooting for? Thunder Up!

   

My Friday Favorites!

1// Clear Clutch/Bag 2// Joanna Gaines' Cookbook Magnolia Table (Pre-order) 3// Dolce Vita Lace-Up Sandal 4// Opalhouse Floor Pillow 5// Sole Society Ruffle Clutch 6// Steven Greece Slides  7// Opalhouse Taco Holder

What the what?! Yes, a blog post! I can't hardly believe it either. Let me just give y'all a quick update...last fall I got a new job, yes it has been amazing and I'm loving it, BUT I work from home full-time now and busier than ever. That's a whole other blog post but all this to say is the LAST thing I want to do is come back into my office and sit at the computer in the evenings. Hence why things are radio static from me around here this year. I truly miss blogging and I want to have more time for it but until I find that balance I'm just poppin' in to share some of my favorites right now!

 

ONE: this clear zip clutch/pouch is so good for travel especially! I picked one up after gifting one to a friend and finding out how much she enjoyed it. I've been using it to help keep things organized in my large carry-on tote while I travel. It also comes in a slimmer version that would also be just as handy.

 

TWO: I AM SO EXCITED for this cookbook!! If you know me well you know I'm a BIG fan of Joanna Gaines so her cookbook, Magnolia Table, has been on my list to grab for quite some time now. Right now it is just out for pre-order but it will be released to shelves this coming Tuesday! My sister in law pre-ordered it for me for my birthday so I can't wait to get it. First up, I plan on making her biscuits!

 

THREE: How cute are these lace-up bow slides from Dolce Vita? They come in several different colors and I'm swooning over all of them! I think they are a perfect sandal to transition into spring.  

FOUR: Y'all, have you checked out Target's new line, OpalHouse, yet? I'm loving it as it has that Anthropologie look but at a fraction of the price. This huge floor pillow comes in several colors at a great price...now to just find the need for it and space for it in my house....

FIVE: Because if you put ruffles in front of me, I buy them. How stinking adorable is this ruffle clutch? Comes in three colors and could easily be dressed down or up. 

SIX: Man, how cute are these slides? They also come in several colors are all the rage this season, I see them everywhere! I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out but I currently have about fifteen pairs of sandals on my wish list so I'm trying to cut that down a bit, eek. 

SEVEN: Another favorite that I picked up from Target's OpalHouse collection, these taco holders. They're at such a great price point and SO cute that I couldn't help grabbing them this week for taco night. How fun would they be for celebrating Cinco De Mayo too?!

Ok ladies and gents, that is all from me today. YAY, we made it to Friday and I'm so excited to do a lot of relaxing this weekend! Have a good one, y'all!

 

 

Seersucker Summer Dress

 

Shop My Outfit Seersucker Off Shoulder Dress {Only $26!} // Steve Madden Nude Heels Straw Bag {Forever 21 but sold out online- can be found in store}Similar Here Kendra Scott Earrings  

I am completely obsessed with anything off the shoulder this season! I live in dresses during the summer so pair off the shoulder with a dress and seersucker, this dress was practically screaming for me to buy it during the Nordstrom Half-Yearly sale! The sale is over BUT this dress is still marked down 40% making it $26, such a steal! 

 

It is super comfortable and easy to dress up as I did or switch out your heels for sandals and you have a great casual look to grab dinner on the patio. It is light and breezy making it the perfect Oklahoma summer dress to bare the humidity here! 

 

I grabbed this straw tote for $24 in store at Forever 21 and I can't wait to take it with me on a beach trip in a couple weeks. It reminds me of a bag I had when I was younger and I couldn't love it more!   

 

PS these beautiful peonies are finally in stock at Trader Joe's for everyone that was on a search like I was! I hope y'all had a great weekend and an even better week!

Friday Favorites: Five Awesome Target Finds!

Who doesn't love Target?! I mean I think everyone does so I thought I'd round up five awesome items I've found at Target recently!

ONE: Dupe Bow Slide Sandals

 Sam & Libby Bow Slide Sandal 

These Sam & Libby Bow Sandals are a great dupe for the Sam Edelman Henna Bow Slide. The Target slides are a fourth the price and come in several colors that the Sam Edelman version also comes in. Great dupe find!

TWO:  Welcome Cactus Doormat {On Sale!}

 Welcome Cacti Doormat

Oh my word, how cute is this mat?! I spotted it at one of my local Target stores but they only had one left and it was messed up. Logged on to the website to find it on sale for $10 online! Score, this baby is on the way to my home! It is going to just look too adorable on my back patio!

THREE: Straw Tassel Beach Tote

 Sold out online - Similar Tote

Unfortunately this one is already sold out online but I have spotted it in stores. I did link a similar pom pom version online but if you are obsessed with the one above like me and many others keep an eye out at your local store. It is $34.99.

FOUR: Family Cactus Swimsuits 

All Suits Shoppable Here

I might be a little all the heart eye emojis for anything cactus again this summer but seriously?! How cute are these little tot cacti suits and even one for their daddy! Find all the suits here with a few different variations. So cute and of course so cheap!

FIVE: Sugarfix by BaubleBar Drop Earrings

 Sugarfix Drop Stripe Ball Drop Earrings

Because how could I not include the Sugarfix line. Baublebar kills it at Target and I'm completely swooning over these stripe drop ball earrings for a fraction of the cost of Baublebar's line of drop earrings.

Now tell me what you have found at Target lately! I'm a firm believer that a good Target trip is good for the soul. I hope y'all have a great weekend!

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink + 4 GREAT Workouts!

Shop My Look Pink Workout Tank  // Nike Melon Tennis Shoes // BP Mirrored Aviators  Forever 21 Active Leggings

I not only wanted to share this fun workout outfit for you ladies on this Wednesday, because who doesn't wear pink on Wednesday?! I mean if you don't...you can't sit with us, or workout with us! *Jokes* Gosh, Mean Girls never gets old!

Anyways, I also want to share these four workouts from Grace at A Southern Drawl because y'all they are KILLER good! I've done all four and some I've used multiple times and every time I've been so sore from my workout! I highly recommend them. Last night I did the back and bicep workout and now all I can think about is my massage appointment on Saturday.

Most of them have taken me about 35-45 minutes to do and then I pair them with 30-40 minutes of cardio. Tonight is leg day for me and I'm using her leg video again. Last week my butt and legs were sore for days!

I'm loving her workouts so let me know if you try any of them!

Friday Favorites: Spring Fever

We are officially 9 days away from Daylight Savings Time and 17 days away from Spring! It is safe to say everything I have my eyes on or in my shopping cart is screaming spring! I have rounded up my top five favorites this week and they are all so fun!

1:  Kate Spade Lemon Tumbler...because how cute is this?! I think it would be the perfect tumbler to use this spring and summer. Plus I have the perfect skirt to match so I basically have to buy it, right? Going into my cart now!

2:  Velvet Booties...I know these are somewhat of a stretch but I am completely in love! This pair from Target is a dupe for a Steve Madden pair that are $85. These cuties are much cheaper! It hasn't taken me long at all to get on board with the velvet trend this year. To me velvet just says class. I think these booties would be great to carry into spring. How about you, are you loving or hating the velvet trend?

3:  Brunch Hat...I have been CRAVING this great brunch spot here in Tulsa for a few months now. They have biscuits and gravy that are to DIE for so when I spotted this hat my mouth immediately started watering thinking about it! But really though, how cute is this hat to throw on over that day two hair and grab a mimosa with the girls! 

4:  Clinique Crayola Lip Balms...How fun  is this collaboration between Clinique and Crayola?! These moisturizing colored lip balms by Clinique are perfect. I feel like I need to fill a whole crayon box full for my purse, so cute!

5:  Picnic Blanket...I have my picnic basket and blanket already ready for the season but once I saw this cute picnic throw from Target I've been thinking maybe I need two picnic blankets...I mean there might be a weekend I have two in a row and one is already dirty. I will surely need a backup...wait I already have two. Hmm the heck with it, I still want it! Who loves picnics too?!

Wish me luck this weekend as all of this might be coming to my doorstep or to my target buggy! What spring favorites are you loving, please share! Happy weekend, y'all!
