Recent Scores: | Owl Pillow | Quilted Jacket | Jewels |

I think its time I come out about my obsession with owls. I don't know what is wrong with me, but I just can't seem to pass up anything that has a cute, little sweet owl face on it. (If you come to my apartment you will find about 5 owl nick nacks, owl salt and pepper shakers, owl towels and oven mitts.....) Either way, I just love this new owl pillow that I picked up for my living room. Adorbs!! 

As for the last two items, I scored both of these guys at Forever 21 over this past weekend. I first spotted this jacket online and feel in love, but it quickly sold out, so I was thrilled when I found it in my local store on sale! As for these jewels, I talked last week about my love for buying earrings at forever 21, and while I didn't find the two pairs I was looking for, I didn't come home empty handed. I also couldn't walk away for this 4-pack ring set for only 1.99....that would have been a crime!!

And it's finally Friday y'all! Time to enjoy the weekend! Thanks for reading!

Can't Live Without It

 

deets: | shirt: local boutique | vest: F21 | skirt: F21 | belt: Old Navy | tights: Target | shoes: TJ Maxx | jewels: F21, 

Tiffanys, gift |

So today I'm wearing some items that are staples in my closet that I just canNOT  live without! This black pleated skirt is such a great basic for me. I can wear it during the day at work, out shopping with some friends, or for a night out with the BF (who just happen to pick this piece out for me, ha).

Another item that would leave me incomplete is this cargo vest. Every since I got this little beauty in the mail I have been pairing it with everything. I wear it over shirts, sweaters and even jackets...it's such a good layering piece and adds a little something to make every outfit look complete. 

As for the last piece I might die without, it's this monogram necklace. I got this amazing jewel from my sis for my birthday last year and you can catch me wearing it almost everyday. It is the perfect rose gold tone that mixes with both gold and silver! I don't know what girl who doesn't love a monogram necklace! 

Thanks for reading today y'all! Just one more day until the weekend! Woo Hoo!!

Get in MY Belly: Crispy Lima Beans

We've made it halfway through the week, it's Wednesday and that means time for another food post! Today I am sharing with y'all either a good snack or side dish that's super easy!

Step 1: Gather all you ingredients together and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. I know it looks like a lot, but you really just need lima beans, little bit of oil, and some parmesan cheese. Then you can put in whatever spices you want! I forgot to include it in the picture, but I included some spicy seasoning because I am a lover of all things spicy!

 

Step 2: Put your frozen lima beans into a colander under cold water to rinse them off and defrost them just a bit.

Step 3: Place the lima beans  into a baking dish along with the oil, cheese, and your choice of spices. 

Step 4: Let them bake for about 15 mins or so. (If you would like your beans more crispy just leave them in a little longer)

 

Step 5: Let them sit for just about 3-5 mins and then it is time to enjoy! 

It's that simple! I first got the idea for this from here. The only problem was that I didn't have edamame in my freezer so I just used lima beans instead and then made a few other tweaks. Overall, it was pretty good, but next time I will just leave mine in for a few mins longer so they are more crispy. 

Thanks for reading!

COFFEE, COFFEE, COFFEE

So I know it is only Tuesday, but I am already feeling very sluggish this week. It might be the fact that it has been raining and just kinda blah that past couple of days. With that being said my brain is not working enough to think of outfits, let alone get some pics of them, so instead I thought I would just share some presh pics from Pinterest that are getting me through the day smiling!

No brainer on the first two...just speaking truths!! And the last one just combines my love for owls and coffee, how could you go wrong! Thanks for reading y'all....Hopefully you have more energy then me this week! 

Happy Tuesday!

Outfit Crush: Oversized Sweater

Sadly, it is already Monday again y'all. As usual the weekend flew by and was over WAY before I knew it! With that being said, mine was jam packed with a ton of things I've been wanting to do all week. I hit up a few thrift stores looking for a desk (I'm trying to find one to DIY, but ended up with a stack of books instead), went to the mall and picked up this ADORBS jacket from F21 that I had my eye on online, but then quickly sold out (don't worry...I will feature it later this week in my recent scores!), and last but not least, just grabbing some froyo and loading it up with tons of the cappuccino bites that I need to own stock in!! They are that good y'all!! anyway, the outfit above is what I lived in all weekend. Too be honest I wore the same sweater and jeans both days and only changed my shirt and shoes, ha. I figured if it worked for one day why not two??!

I hope that everyone else had a good weekend too! Whether you were relaxing at home enjoying a much needed break from work or out and about like me in the GORG weather that we had this weekend. Either way, thanks for reading today and go load up on coffee to make it through this Monday...as I am doing as we speak!

Current Lusts: | Denim Vest | Cargo Jacket | Heart Earrings | Pyramid Earrings |

Morning Y'all! I always think that I'm going to have a hard time each week finding items that I am currently lusting over, but who am I kidding, of course I never  do! Duh....I'm a girl who loves shopping! So today was no different. I have pulled together 4 items that I'm loving at the moment.

The denim vest. I have been wanting one of these for it seems a year now. I actually had an old denim jacket that I wasn't too fond of that I cut to make a vest, but it was too big and didn't turn out they way I planned, so I'm still on the hunt! This one is new from GAP and perfect! I love the wash and everything....here's hoping my search is over and I get a denim vest soon!

Maybe second for my love of the utility/cargo vest that I picked up last month, is the utility/cargo jacket. I love that this one has faux leather sleeves, it just gives it that little something extra. I think this would be perfect just thrown over a tee and some skinnys for a casual weekend look, but how you could unexpectedly throw it over a dress for a cute more dressed up daytime look. Either way, I see a jacket like this in my near future!

As for these last 2 items on my list today, who isn't picking up new earrings all the time?! I love getting earrings from Forever 21. They are always super  cheap  which is great from when you find something trendy, but don't see yourself wanting to spend a fortune because your not sure how long you are going to wear them. I love the top ones because I am a sucker for anything hearts. I'm serious....I might need to start a support group. I can never pass up a good heart shaped anything (dress, shirt, scarf....somebody stop me!!) And the bottom ones I just loved as soon as I saw them. Simple enough for day, but slightly edgy enough to rock at night. LOVE them...hopefully I spot both of these today while I'm out shopping!
