Think Pink (in October)

{Blogged while reading Good As Gone by Amy Gentry and it is good}  I love the month of October for several reasons: its my birthday month (whoop whoop!), it's my dog Toby's birthday month, Halloween, cooler temps (usually), pumpkin everything hits the scene (and Christmas decorations, but that is just a little early for me. Hello? Thanksgiving anyone?) and its Breast Cancer Awareness month.  As with so many of us it seems, this is an issue near and dear to my heart, as my grandmother is a breast cancer survivor.   I just love all of the products that come out this month and donate part of their proceeds to breast cancer research.   And its a month devoted to pink!  I look forward to buying limited edition products each October that give back to fighting a disease that has touched my family and so many others. I gathered some of my favorite pink products below, but let me know if there are any of your favorites I left out!  And my pink dress was the perfect outfit for this post and the month of October, don't you think? Although its back in the 90's tomorrow, so I sure wont need this sweater (again....ugh!) Happy Tuesday beauties! Sweetly, Michelle

Twins at Twilight

{Written while a passenger on the way to meet my cousin's 3 day old baby girl!} Is there anything better than that twilight hour? The day is not yet over, the night has not yet begun... It is my favorite part of every day (especially summer days!) Now put me outside in that golden light, with my beautiful friend Vanessa at my side and this gorgeous flowy dress and I call that a perfect night! You can shop this pretty (non maternity) dress here! Hope your week is off to the very best start and thank you so much for stopping by.  Sweetly, Michelle

Shop Bop Secret Sale!

{Written while making a last minute Mother's Day wish list} Hi everyone! Shop bop is having a 40% off sale for 3 days only and oh my gosh are the cutest things on sale!  I want sooo much...I put together a little collage of some of my favorite golden and neutral shoes and accessories (cuz I'm a little gold obsessed over here) but there is so much that is sooo good.  I want to try and pull together some cute bags and summer time dresses too.  These goldie's are pretty much good to go this season but there are also some amazing black leather bags and shoes that would be great for next fall.  I might try to pull some of those out for you too but hurry andtake a look before the cute stuff sells out!! Sweetly, Michelle

That's the Bomb(er) 💣💣

{blogged with a bag of Easter candy} Hello there lovelies!  This weather though! We are back to sunny skies and warm temperatures here in So Cal and I am not complaining to a single person about this (however, come July when I am as big as a house, I reserve the right to complain to someone, anyone about the heat!)  So, I do not take naturally to bump dressing.  It is a challenge for me to find office wear or day-to-day wear (outside of comfy leggings, which again, #nocomplaints) that I feel feminine and put together and like myself.  I have had this bomber jacket from Nordstrom since last New Years. I have no idea why I bought this but I never wore it and since bombers are popping up everywhere right now, I thought it might make the nicest pair to my simple pleated white dress (a total closet staple). And it worked! I have these gold sandals that are not too high but high enough to keep me feeling like myself.  It is the perfect outfit for a Sunday brunch or maybea nice dinner and a movie.  I find white dresses to be so versatile-- with a jean jacket, a blazer, a long cardigan and flat sandals-- I find so many uses for them and I am a sucker for pleats.  So there you have it!  We are almost to the end of the week my friends!  Yayy!! We have my husband's cousins from Chicago coming this weekend to stay with us and I cant wait to show them around and play in the sand together!! Hope your weekend is full of rest and sunshine and fun! I appreciate you stopping by! Sweetly- Michelle
