H&M Online

H&M has updated their website and now you can shop online! Yay! I like H&M, but their sizing is never consistent for me, so I don't know how much I will actually buy online. It's nice that they finally offer it! Bout time. I found a few things I like, particularly this purse. Love it!

 

Wednesday Wish list

By no means do I need anything on this list. As a matter of fact I think I will probably ground myself from shopping for a least a few weeks or even this whole month. Back to budget after our recent trip. Until fall, I don't need to add anything to my closet. Let's see how long that statement lasts.

 

 

1. Really into leather sleeves and considering making a dress with them! I like the casual(ness) of this tee. Also it's 20 bucks!

2. I think this is my favorite color on my summer skin tone.  I like the neckline of this dress too.

3. I've decided a white peplum is a must have staple in my closet. I love this Victoria Beckham one, but not the price. I could probably make this, but don't really have the time.

4. Scallops and Sequins

5-6. I'm lusting over leather shorts right now. Elastic waistband, woohoo!

7. A girl can dream, can't she? I'll take one in every color.

8. Fur fold over. so pretty.

 

I'm back!!

We got back from New York yesterday so I haven't had time to gather all of our pictures and start blog posts for this week. We had a really great time and I can't wait to tell you all about it! Happy Monday!

Thoughts on Wednesday

I've been busy with work and well, life, that I haven't had time to try new recipes or sew anything, let alone share it with you. I have a full list of projects I just haven't made the time for them. Maybe this fall.

In other news we are headed to New York City tomorrow to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary!!! I have never been to NYC and couldn't be more excited. We have a full itinerary of things to do and see including a stop at Mood Fabrics. Project Runway is shot at Mood and it's supposedly fabric heaven. I'll be sure to post my adventures next week.

 

Maybe I'll run into Tim!

Can we talk about how beautiful Kate is? Congrats to the Royal Family! Did you watch yesterday?

 

 

 

 

 I am not ready for fall. I am not ready for colder weather, but apparently the retail world is, which has me excited thinking about the things I want to add to my wardrobe this fall.

1. Colored leather jacket. I'm thinking deep red or dark grey.
2. Black Jeans. Staple item I know I would wear all the time.
3. Printed tops. I really love this lips top!
4. Ankle boots.
5. Jewel tone bag.

Have a great rest of the week!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks

It's Nordstrom sale time! I'm definitely not ready for the fall weather, as I swear summer just began, but I do like a lot of the fall clothes in this sale! I reeeeeeallly want the dress with the leather sleeves. Love it! What are you scooping up?

 

Things that are Great!

Mussels! I fell in love with mussels at Brugge in Broad Ripple. Try it, you'll like it! Promise. We made our first batch of them ourselves last weekend. It's incredibly easy and you can order them at Goose The Market for a great deal with their weekly fish order. If I can remember the recipe we used I'll post it soon. 

Look what popped up in our front yard! Purple Calla Lilies! We used these flowers in our wedding because the purple center matched my bridesmaids. It made me so happy to see these come up in our yard. The people who lived in our house before us must have loved flowers, because we have had every kind this year!

 

How great is this dress?!?! I love the sequins back and neon pop front! It's on sale too. Piperlime is having a 70% off sales right now.

 

Original Netflix series. We watched House of Cards a few months ago and thought it was awesome! Now we are binge watching Orange is the New Black. So good! Both shows.

More greatness, or rather cuteness! Doesn't this face brighten your day?

New on the 'Net

I've come across some fun websites recently I thought I would share with you. Check 'em out!

 

Poshmark is kind of like Ebay, but much better! It's a site to sell clothes, shoes and accessories. I like that a lot of fashion bloggers sell their stuff on here that they probably got for free or only wore once. You can even follow people and their "closets".

Keep is similar to Pinterest except you can actually purchase items and know exactly where they came from, which is great! One of the things about Pinterest that drives me crazy is seeing something you like and never finding the link to purchase. You can follow people on this site as well.

The Dress Spot is another cool website I came across this week. Basically, you can choose the color and silhouette of the dress you are looking for and boom! several options will show up. It's a nice way to shop if you know exactly what you are looking for and don't want to search several stores. Convenient!
