"Mint" to be!

What a beautiful day we had again today! God is so good! He is an amazing God! When there are days like this I can't help but be amazed by his beauty! He's an artist you know?
I decided to wear my mint skirt that my sister found for me at a local thrift store! (She's the best) and a pink polka dot top that I found a few months back at a thrift store! My nude heals and vintage pins are also from a thrift store... BUT the ivory undershirt was from dots. Sadly I went to the town where dots was the other day and noticed that the store was closed for good. :( *sad face* I was down for a bit but then we went to target and I was happy again. Target has some GREAT clearance stuff right now if you get the chance to run by. I LOVE their maternity clothes (even though in not prego) it's always fun to look!
Also there is a site online called 15dollarstore.com that I Like to check out every once in a while and they have some super cute neon yellow heels I've been eyeing! Maybe just maybe you'll see those heels in some blogs coming up! I hope! Well home everyone enjoys this beautiful day!



















A Good hair day???

I love doing hair! I do anyone's hair that will let me play with it! I love trying things from Pinterest and different hair magazines! I'm way better at doing someone else's hair, rather then mine. I hardly EVER have a "good hair day"... Now Keri on the other hand! She can put her hair on a pony tail and It looks gorgeous! She can do this twist thing that I CANNOT figure out! Her hair is this great color and length that you can do about ANYTHING with!
Here are some pictures of different hair days that I thought looked good! :)
P.s the braided hair is a few special guests!! :)
P.s.s speaking of hair... Who LOVES tangled?? Is it not the cutest Disney movie EVER!!! Yes, yes it is! :)

Have you heard of Houndstooth?

I'm CRAZY!! About houndstooth patterns! I LOVE them! Always have! When I saw this "granny" sweater as some would call it I about flipped! I love the sequined detail! It's a "kathy lee" name brand. I don't usually like many of those items but I didn't care where this sweater was from when I saw it at a local thrift store! I paired it with my bright red skirt I found at "remarkable resale" and yes that store is remarkable! As I got this skirt :like new: for $8.99!!! I needed a red skirt so I was super excited! I wore my simple and oh so comfy black heels from a thrift store in Florida when we went on vaca! So yes this outfit (without meaning to) is a thrift store outfit!

"Along the lines of Nautical"

"Rain rain go away, come again a later day."
It has rained non-stop for like 5 days! We finally got a break so I decided to do some shots outside with the pretty, bright flowers and green green grass!
It's amazing how we can have a drought one year and a flood the next! But God is in control and even through all this rain I am amazed by his mighty hand! The flooded areas around town were bad but somewhat gorgeous! I took tons of pictures! :)
I've had this shirt for a while and I love the subtle ruffles on the front and how the gold belt just POPS! I got this top from a thrift store... The striped shirt under it is actually a button up sweater that I stole from my moms AMAZING closet! :) and the belt is a vintage touch I got from a little store in our area. My skirt is from citi trends and my shoes are actually also vintage. I loved the somewhat nautical look to this but yet a mix of color! :) hope you do too!
Ps: the ice cream is from our little ice cream shop here in town and the food is from panera bread! Yummm!
