Shopping Finds

It’s Friday!!! Wahoo! I hope you all have a great weekend! Here’s what I’ve found while out and about shopping in the last month.

Frye sneakers

I’ve been looking for a clunky-ish pair of white sneakers (it seems the clunkier the better these days. Hello, Gucci and the giant air bubble under the heel, a la Balenciaga) that don’t cost $600, that can give me the big white sneaker look to wear with my skirts and dresses, and that still feel like me. After ordering the Nike Air Force 1’s, Puma’s and Van’s, I was deflated, until my (young) sister-in-law told me about these Frye sneaks! YAY!!! I found the perfect pair of white sneakers that give me the look without breaking the bank!

All summer long I was looking for a plain, faded black denim skirt. I didn’t want it to have any interesting detail. I just wanted it to be plain, so it would stand the test of time. Well, low and behold, I found it at the end of summer! It’s actually a new arrival at Madewell, which seemed weird to me. But then I remembered how long it stays warm in the fall and how I could pair it with a sweater and booties, so I felt justified making the purchase!

Madwell skirt (tts)

I found a new favorite t-shirt, and I wasn’t even looking for one! My sister and I were shopping, and I came across this tee. I wasn’t all that impressed with it on the hanger (as is the case with most tees), but I tried it on anyway. I’m sure glad I did because the material is perfect (not see through and not too clingy) and the cap sleeve is darling!

Here it is in black…

and white.

This t-shirt is one of those purchases that may not be very exciting at first, but once I saw how many times I was able to wear it, I was so happy to have it!

 Anthropologie Dress

This dress is t-shirt material, the V isn’t too low, and the sleeves are so cute and add interest. Winner!

Mother Denim

I can’t stop wearing these jeans! I can wear them with sandals, sneakers and mules. For sizing reference, I am 5’8″.

Paige Denim

I specifically love Paige waxed denim because they’re really comfy (like leggings). Then I saw they’re offered in army green, and I’m in!

Anthropologie Dress

This dress has 4.9 stars with 16 reviews, and it’s offered in plus sizes. Need I say more?!?

Anthropologie Purse

I love a classic black bag with no hardware (staying power) that has an option crossbody! Just wait until you see the price!

 

Anthropologie Tote

Firstly, I just love totes! I just do. And secondly, I love animal print! Oh, and thirdly, the price is right!

Anthropologie Tote

It comes in gold, too! Too hard to decide!

Varley Leggings, Varley Bra

I’m in love with my new workout leggings and matching bra from Varley!

Varley Leggings

So, naturally, I bought these Varley leggings!

This is what I’ve seen while out and about shopping in various places! What’s your favorite? I have too many, but my favorite is probably the tees because they’re on sale and I’ve already worn them a ton!

    Thank you for the picks! I like the crossbody and tote from Anthropologie and may have to order! Did you end of with the leopard print or the gold? Which do you think you would be a better neutral if you can only get one?

    Can I ask what is the brand of the green t shirt you are wearing, with the Mother jeans?
    Thank you!

      Hi Annie, I did not buy the tote because I just bought a new tote during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. But, I would probably purchase the gold tote because I have a black and pink tote. HTH!! The green top is by Cloth and Stone (link here http://bit.ly/345Bgf0). I didn’t link to it in the post because I found it was too short for my liking. Otherwise, it’s super cute!

Do you want new hair growth in your eyebrows? I ha Do you want new hair growth in your eyebrows? I have a trick, and no, it’s not an expensive hair growth serum! It’s Castor Oil, so it’s all natural and inexpensive. Apparently, it’s been used for thousands of years dating back to ancient Egypt. Ok, and I use it on my eyelashes, too, but I’m doing that at my own risk. I don’t want to recommend this practice, since I don’t really know what it’s going to do to my eyesight. I know, call me crazy- it’s fine. 

Thanks to my friend, Michelle for telling me about this little trick! 

Comment “oil” for  links to both the Castor Oil and the wands I use. #beautytips #beauty #eyebrows #beautyproducts
I attended a funeral today of a friend who died of I attended a funeral today of a friend who died of mental illness. If my friend is strong enough to stand at the podium and talk about her husband and the hope her family has in the midst of their darkest days, then I want to honor both of them by telling you about my struggle with mental illness. My friend mentioned that many of her husband’s closest friends had no idea that he’d been struggling with mental illness for 3 years, and I realized that many of you, and probably some of my closest friends don’t know how long and hard my struggle has been with mental illness. For me my mental illness wasn’t the kind where I couldn’t get out of bed or out of the house, which would make it hard to tell I was struggling. For me it looked more like battling through the day and struggling with my own self condemning thoughts and emotions - shaming myself for being happy one minute and sad the next, or for not being happy all the time, looking around at all my blessings and not feeling gratitude, which made me feel like there was something wrong with me. It was hard to get excited. On some days I walked around feeling like a scared puppy in a big bad world with my emotions right at the surface. For me, my faith is very important to me, and I knew this was not the life God had for me, so I started to pray for help and deliverance. God started to lead me to help in a whole bunch of different forms, counselors, health practitioners, friends, medicine, trauma therapy, EMDR, books, excercise, the support of family, and most importantly, Christ and His word. 
For me, it was over a 10 year battle probably because I was overcoming a lot of trauma being raised by an alcoholic mom. But for you it may be longer or shorter or this isn’t something you struggle with at all (hallelujah!). If you do, your emotions and your struggle may be different. But I’m here to say, you’re loved. You are loved by God and by so many of the people around you. Don’t give up. Dig in and fight the battle that’s happening in your mind. Fight it like you would if you had cancer. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #mentalhealthmatters
I had fun taking this outfit from day to night by I had fun taking this outfit from day to night by swapping out my denim skirt for my leather skirt!! I’m also totally digging socks with loafers. Takes me right back to my middle school days, and I’m not sad about it! And yes, that’s what my closet looked like after trying to figure those outfits out, but it was fun! 🤷🏼‍♀️

How to get the cuffed denim look without buying a How to get the cuffed denim look without buying a new pair of jeans! You don’t need to buy a new pair of jeans to get the cuffed denim look! Just grab a pair of straight leg jeans from your closet, cuff them to be about an inch or 2 above the top of your ankle bone and use the nifty little gadget from this tutorial. Viola! Plus, the cuffed denim length makes it a heck of a lot easier to wear most of the shoes in your closet! #winning
