I've been told I have a polkadot addiction, but I think there are much worse things to be addicted to. Something about a polkadot print makes me happy, it's just fun. Ya know? So when I saw this sweater at a Banana Republic outlet I wanted it BAD. I was strong, I didn't give in, the price was still a little high. Then my second trip to a Banana Republic outlet was a much happier experience since the sweater was 50% off!! I snatched this baby up so quickly. Now I only wish I would have bought two since they had so many color combinations... it is so comfortable!!

Fall Neutrals.

One of my favorite trends for every fall would definitely be the warm neutrals. I love the cozy and easy style that the earth tones create. I'm also loving the amazing weather that we are having right now! It feels like Fall has almost arrived and I'm praying that it is here to stay, especially after a super hot weekend in Savannah. Greenville was so kind to welcome us with an amazing cool breeze and I was more than happy to pull out this neutral sweater. It is such a great piece for the fall transition months even if the sleeves need to be pushed up a little.

The smell of coffee may be overrated.

I normally love the smell of coffee. Crave it even. But after you sit at your desk at work ALL. DAY. LONG. with the smell of coffee in your HAIR, you may change your mind. How did my hair become to smell like coffee, you ask? Well, that is a great story.

It was a good morning, one snoozer and a splash of cold water to wake me up. Made time for my bible reading (Job 6-9, definitely not the happiest of chapters) and then made my way back upstairs to get ready for the day. I finished my hair and makeup all while drinking my lovely cup of coffee that my sweet hubby made for me. I got dressed, put on my favorite wedges, brushed my teeth and threw on some jewelry. I grabbed my half empty and now cold cup of coffee to head back downstairs to leave for work, which I was already late for. It was then 8:22 and I need to be at work at 8:30 with a ten minute drive… so I was trying to rush. Rushing so much that I turned my ankle while walking down the stairs which caused a bad fall where I bumped down 3-4 steps on my tush and coffee splashed everywhere. All over my clothes, the carpeted stairs & my newly washed hair. Thankfully, the smell eventually faded. Moral of the story, don't rush down the stairs with a cup of coffee in your hands. Just don't do it!

The Perfect Summer Dress.

You ladies know when you have those moments in a dressing room that are so exciting you have to do a little happy dance? I can’t be the only one. I’m sure we have all had those moments a time or two. Well, this dress caused a serious happy dance when I tried it on for the first time. I fell in love. I’m a big fan of the maxi dress craze and we all know that I’m a fan of Forever21 so when I saw this dress hanging in the store I think I squealed a little bit. It is the perfect summer dress for so many reasons. It flows effortlessly which helps you stay cool. It is loose and comfortable. And of course it is beautiful! Throw on some wedges and some gold jewelry and you have a perfect date night dress. Love it!

and of course it is tons of fun to spin in!! ;)
