Obsessions | Under $100

budget buys


Today I wanted to share a few things I am loving that are under $100!

I love the embroidery detail.  

This dress comes in blush and black and I love them both.  I would wear this with fun gladiator sandals.

Such a great color and pattern for Spring.

This looks so similar to an Amanada Uprichard Dress I own but its 1/3 the price.  It comes in 4 different colors and would be perfect for a wedding.

I love nothing more than a white blouse. I like the fun detail on this one.


I really like the style and thicker heels on these sandals. They also come in black and rust.
These look so incredibly soft.  I prefer a tapered PJ Pant.

I always love vertical stripes.  I think they are super flattering. If you zoom in the stripes are such a gorgeous blue.

The perfect lace up sandal.

This dress is a smidge over $100 but I had to include it.  The hem detail is gorgeous.  I am drawn to the white version but I also really like the purple.

Such a cute rain coat. I have really been into olive green lately.  It makes a great neutral.


I love a good pair of tassel earrings.  Also in black

I love a good stripe tee and I always prefer tees that are looser.  This looks like a great fit.

This reminds me so much of a Kate Spade bag that was out last year.  A great color for everyday.
Such a cute feminine  blouse.  I really like the flirty style.


So simple yet so stunning.


This is on sale for 50% off.  I love fringe detail and blush color.


I also wanted to mention Kate Spade just started their Surprise Sale.  Shop early for best buys.  You can access the sale HERE The sale ends in 2 days and many items are up to 75% off.
A few favorites.

Scenes From Our Weekend

We honestly didn't do too much this weekend.  The weather was cold and rainy both Saturday and Sunday so we spent a lot of time indoors.  

Friday night we had one of our neighbors over for happy hour.   I had forgotten how good Brad and Angelina's wine Miraval was.  It is a little pricier than what I normally like to spend on a bottle but so good!  

Friday morning I hit up TJmaxx and was thrilled when I found this Alexis Bittar ring on clearance for $20! I love when I find a good deal like that.

I also scored these baskets.  I had been looking for some large ones to store toys in.

Saturday I took the kids to get doughnuts before my gym class.  Calories don't count on the weekend, right?  The kids were so excited about the Panther's doughnuts.
I had to laugh because both Sterling and Frances wanted to wear workout clothes like mommy to the gym.  This is what they came up with.

Frances is bathing suit obsessed lately and wants to wear them on everyday.
This horse one is from the Gap, use code GAMEON for 40% off.

Saturday night Matt and I binge watched MadMen and cooked veggie hot dogs.  Several of you asked what brand veggie dogs we like.  We have tried two brands Smartdogs and Tofurkey Dogs and we much prefer the Smartdogs.  With veggie dogs you can't grill them they fall apart, so you have to boil them. We actually really liked the Smartdogs and if you put enough toppings on you really don't miss the meat. 

Since Sunday was such a gross rainy day, I took the kids to see Kung Fu Panda 3.  I didn't realize it was the 3D version til we got there.  Which was fine for Sterling but not Frances, she did not want to keep the glasses on.  Sterling is great at movies but Frances was a whole other story.  She was good and still for about 30 minutes and then she was all over the place.  Climbing stairs and chairs = not relaxing for Mom.  The movie however was really cute, I highly recommend it.

That night we went to a Super Bowl Party at our good friend's house.  I made the Kettle Chip Crusted Poppers I mentioned last week.  They were really good.  I made a few changes to the recipe and left out cilantro , sometimes it is too powerful a taste for me and I used green onions instead of white.
Only picture we snapped. Matt is more excited than he looks and Frances clearly did not want us leaving.
Lastly Loft is offering 30% off all dresses, no code needed.   I love this stripe one I bought a few weeks ago.  The material is thicker which I like and not clingy at all.  I just ordered this one, love the colors.
Twine and Twig is also offering 25% off site wide with code BEMINE!


Have a fabulous Monday!

Weekend Style | 4 Looks for Less

Happy Saturday! Today I have four looks for less to share!

look for less



ONE| Marysia Swim One Piece
I am a huge fan of Maryisa Swim and I am lucky enough to own a few of her bathing suits but they are VERY expensive.  I found these 2 Target versions that are almost identical to 2 of her styles and they are only $44.



Target Plunging V Neck $44


TWO | Fringe Tee


I actually just bought this in the gray version and love it.  The material is super soft and I like the boxy fit.  I am wearing an XS.  The ivory version is actually on sale for $18.

THREE | Off Shoulder Blouse with Tie Sleeves
I have admired this Tibi Blouse for awhile, so when I saw the Free People version for $78 I was so excited.


also comes in a chambray version


FOUR | OFF SHOULDER WHITE DRESS
I really love both of these but the BB Dakota version is a much better price point.


Happy Saturday and Happy Shopping!

Style Files Vol 2 | Poppy Blossoms + Panthers Pride

TGIF!  Today I wanted to share an outfit that would be perfect for Valentine's Date Night.  
I bought this blouse a few weeks ago and it has been on constant rotation.  The floral print just makes me happy and I love the flirty feminine style.
The McGuire Jeans are amazing.  I had heard rave reviews about them and after I tried on a pair I was hooked.  They sit higher up on your waist and are such a slim sleek fit.  Very flattering!  

The back is just as cute as the front.
Sizing wise I would say this blouse is TTS.  I am wearing a small and I like the length and fit in the arms.  There are only a few sizes left in the blouse but Shopbop is usually good about restocking sizes.

I am a huge fan of Bucket Tote Bags.  This particular style is on sale right now in several color options.
I am slightly obsessed with this Julie Vos cocktail ring.  I wear it almost everyday. 
I am also realizing I have total man hands looking at this picture:)
The poppy blossom print which I love so much comes in several other different styles.
It also comes in this sleeveless version that I really like.  You could wear it now with a cardigan and then in Summer solo.
or in a dress version.  This may be my favorite.







So many fabulous options.


For all you Panther's Fans how awesome are these tee shirts?  I just ordered the Cam one and my sister ordered the Luke one.  Hoping it arrives in time for the Super Bowl!
Any friends who live in Charlotte Shop Pink Social will be having a Pop Up Shop today with Melvin Jewelry and you can pick up one of these tees in time for the Super Bowl! 
Pop up Shop is at 220 East Blvd suite 200b
