May Flowers and Happenings

The past few days have been so crazy around here. Set aside working while taking care of your six month old, but when your home internet goes out for four days (and counting), and Starbucks quickly becomes your office space/day care (sorry, SB) things can get pretty interesting real fast. Needless to say, things have been pretty stressful because our whole routine has been flipped upside down.

Good news? It is May! Can you believe it? May is full of graduations, celebrations, weddings, showers, parties, etc. all of which we are attending this month. It is always a fun and busy month for us. I can’t wait to celebrate my brother and nephew’s birthdays in a week and attend a wedding this weekend. So much fun to be had. We will be welcoming the summer before you know it, however, if you live down south like me, you’re probably already experiencing it and are laying by the pool as we speak (I wish).

Adding a little color to your wardrobe is a must this time of year. No more dreary winter colors. Headbands are also a huge addition to this year’s wardrobe. I’m loving this flower headband from The Colt and Filly! Kacie makes the most adorable headbands and earring for you and your LO! The anchor earrings are a perfect addition to any summer outfit. My sister is already trying to steal them from me.

Be sure to check out The Colt and Filly on Twitter and Instagram for updates on their merchandise.

Hi everyone! Today, I wanted to share a few things I’ve been loving lately. Grab a cup of coffee and stay for a while!

This book trilogy by Nora Roberts had me hooked from the beginning.

I’m loving this lip balm.

What southern girl doesn’t love a good plaid shirt?

My dream ring.

Ryan and I are addicted to this PBS show.

I hope you have a wonderful Thursday. It’s important to remember tomorrow is Friday! Just keep swimming. 🙂

eShakti Review

December 15, 2012

I am by no means a fashionista, so you can imagine my ~~surprise~~ shock when eShakti contacted me to review their clothes. I’m typically a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl, but I am a girl – which means I do enjoy dressing up every once in a while.They gave me the choice to pick one item for review so I chose this dress. I thought it was perfect because I could dress it up or down, depending on what I accessorize it with. The collar thing is really popular right now, which I attribute to what I call the “Zooey Deschanel” style. I’m a little obsessed with her so I am excited to own a dress that I’m pretty sure she would rock. I love eShakti because it is different than any other online women’s shop.

What do you think? Should I take up modeling? (sarcasm)

eShakti offers customization on every product – sizes 0-36. All you have to do is plug in your measurements and pay a small fee. I know that if you are tall and slim it can be difficult finding something that fits really well. Or if you’re like me, you may be tall, slender and have a big butt. It’s really unfortunate because I have a hard time finding clothes that fit correctly. It can be frustrating. eShakti is pretty true to size, however, I am a pretty solid size 4 and could have easily fit in the 2 because this 4 was a little big in the waist.They also have an option where you can change the sleeve length, skirt length and neck line on any dress, shirt, sweater, etc. How awesome is that?

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the dress as well. When ordering online you never know what you’re going to get. The dress was made of high quality material. They offer quality clothes for an affordable price. What more could you want? I definitely recommend that you all go check them out!
