Monday Obsessions: Kendra Scott Marrakech Collection

Trapped in licensing class all week but Kendra Scott recently released a new collection and I am a bit smitten.  I had to share!

A Girl Can Dream...

Since I am on shopping hiatus it is only fair that you all dream and window shop with me.  Revisiting my resolution for solid closet items that have lasting value for my wardrobe I feel like these would just be heaven...

Also, I'm really into updating accessories lately. I have a lot of basics acquired clothing-wise but I think the key to really nailing down the ability to change up my favorite outfits is to update the little things.

Monday Obsessions:LOFT Chain Necklace

The girls and I were shopping on Sunday-- or really just kind of wandering and we eventually went into The Loft because they were having a 40% off sale.  I walked around with this dress in my hands for a while, but couldn't quite commit as I am trying really hard to save some money for NYC.

I really still love it, but it was $89.95 and even at 40% off I just couldn't quite commit.  I think the picture here doesn't quite do it justice...it was a bit darker in color and I didn't feel like the sleeves belled out all that much in case you were wondering.

I was about to go through the check out line with it when I spotted this Loft chain link necklace that Guiliana Rancic made for them or something to benefit breast cancer {read: see, I give to charitable organizations...kind of...}.

I. Love. This. Necklace. And I got it for right around $40.  I wanted to run straight home and wear it with my Sunday pajamas that I promptly got in to spend the rest of the day.

You can find it here...but the sale ended yesterday.  But I may have paid regular price for it because it is so beautiful. 

Love you. Mean it.

Wild About Etsy

I know everyone on the planet is super wild about Etsy {le duh}.  The Housewife and I are no exception! We used an amazing shop to get the beautiful custom monogrammed and umbrella cookies for Little A's shower, and I grabbed some art for 3 Putt as a gift for watching Hogan while I was out of town in January.  I love how it's like an online flea market/treasure chest that I can search from my sofa.  Because, if I am honest, I love accomplishing things while simultaneously sitting on my couch. 

Here are some of my most favorite recent finds on Etsy!

This amazing bubble necklace looks exactly like this one from JCrew that I have been drooling over for about a year and a half.  JCrew lists theirs at a pricey $150.  SheaBay on Etsy has her beautiful bubble necklace {pictured above} for $39.00! She is either practically giving it away or JCrew is even more overpriced than I originally thought. 

I love this nautical knot bracelet. There was a hot pink one available earlier in the week but I think it sold already! Sads. It was so on trend with all the neon that is out there right now.   You can grab this bracelet here  at OMyHeartKate's shop.  

This beautiful necklace in her shop also caught my eye!

Sunday Funday = Monday Bumday

The Housewife has seriously been wearing me out with all this running! I was so tired from 17 miles on Saturday that I made a lackluster attempt at having a few cold ones on Saturday while we were watching football (Sooooo sad about The Dawgs!).  On top of that I was a little overzealous yesterday when I was @Phipps Plaza patio lunching and shopping with my bestie EBM (does it get any better?). Ok, I was really overzealous.  A bottle of wine and 1 vodka soda later we happily ate our Tavern Chips and cruised the mall for hours.  Except that I felt like utter, complete poop today at work.  Seriously--I think I drove into work with the sweats at 7 this morning. I had to put the air conditioner on full blast for my entire commute. And I am a morning person tried and true.

No joke, this was the brand of Sauv Blanc we were drinking.  Should have listened to that label -- but this could be a legitimate instance where "no means yes". 

In reality, other than the accomplishment of the longest run of my life (to date) it was really not a productive weekend for The Single Gal -- unless you count the awesome Lilly Pulitzer sale items I snagged at Belk. A lot of DVR was conquered, some laundry, and a serious day o' fun with a friend on Sunday.  But here are few things I totes meant to put up last week when I never got around to blogging. 

Found a new Essie color -- "Over the Edge"! I am seriously obsessed with all things gray and this shade is so gunmetal without being too Twilight...I think. What are your thoughts -- is it too "Sons of Anarchy"? Does my hand look fat because I cut part of it off in this photo?

Starting a new collection for the gold stack. Sure, would I love all the new Michael Kors stuff? Cha. But Hogan would be starving if I bought any of them. And me too, probably. These beauties can be found at your local Forever 21 store. I know the panthers/jaguars/whatever that is are kind of out there. Fashion is hard y'all. I'm taking some chances these days.

Also, currently reading and fairly disappointed in the following:

One Day by David Nicholls

 

Now I'm off to prep some beach necessities for The Housewife -- ironing some cover-ups for her and making a pile of goodies for her to wear while on her vacay.  Now that I am back from St. Simons and most lake days and pool days are gone with the advent of Fall it is only fitting I send them with her for one last voyage.  After all, all good things must come to an end -- even this blazing hot summer we have had in Georgia this year.
