Hi, friends! Just wanted to pop in real quick to share this cutie bell sleeve peplum top. It's super versatile and can be worn in summer OR fall. Thinking it would also make a cute swim cover. Yes, please.
As if it couldnt get any better, they're practically giving it away! It's $13.99 PLUS you get 40% off your first order. It comes in one size and for reference I'm normally a size small and I love the fit. It's not too baggy and the v neck flatters the neckline. It also has a cute little cut out on the back.
Hi!
It's been a hot minute since I've been able to actually sit down at my computer and type things. My built in desk/blogging command center is being installed this week (can I get an amen?) which means I'll be done with the kitchen table situation I've been working with for the past few years.
Yes, I said years.
Why it's taken me so long to get my act together is a mystery. Anywho, I can't wait to share how we transformed a wall in the awkward area in our den to my work space.
On top of the craziness with the installation, we have also had a few extra little sweet peas hanging around this week. My sister and her husband are on a trip in Cancuun so weeeeeeee got to keep my 4 year old and 13 year old nieces. We are having so much fun. I don't want to give them back today!
When the little ones are awake, we've been all dress up parties and Peppa Pig. When they go to sleep, me and my older niece, Bree, are eating lots of ice cream, watching lots of Netflix, and doing lots and LOTS of talking. Sweet Matt. He handles estrogen overload like a CHAMP.
Ok! Let's talk about the lengthy short (ironic?) trend. I say "trend" but it's really been around for a while. What I love most about these shorts is that they add an unexpected twist to your look. Here I paired them with a t shirt, blazer, and heels for church.... but I also wore them with flats and a v neck to dinner the other night. Tonight I took Bree to coffee and threw these on with my converse and bathing suit cover left over from the pool this afternoon.
Hey y'all! I decided to start this new section on my blog because I love sharing funny stories but due to my attention to detail and long winded nature, it just wasn't gonna fit in an Instagram caption.
Im just pretending we are sitting at Starbucks sipping a strawberry refresher with coconut milk like the basics we are and I must tell you what happened to me last night.
So im at the Selena Gomez concert. My sister in law scored uhhhhh-mazing "seats" right in front of the stage. Only problem is that they weren't seats. So we stood the Entire. Time.
No, I didn't wear the right shoes. #ouch
In between the opening act and Selena's part, we were all just kind of standing around while they flipped the stage. I was mostly focusing on the pain in my feet and wondering if I could have brought a lawn chair in, when my sister in law was asked by a group of three sweet girls to take their picture. We kind of struck up a convo and found out the girls all worked for a boutique. One of the girls was the owner. So cool. So I told them I'm a style blogger (ish) and said if they ever wanted to collab, we totally should. They loved the idea and then one of the girls says "wait! Do you have two cute little girls?! I just followed you on Instagram! I love you."
Ok. Side note: Any time I get a follower on Instagram I sincerely want to be like THANK YOU I LOVE YOU. HUG ME? So to meet someone in person that already knew me from the Internet made me feel like a million bucks.
If that weren't enough, while we chatted with the girls, this sweet boy that I had been accidentally bumping into all night (#pitseats) said "oh my gosh. My sister follows you on insta and looooves you. Can I take a selfie with you to send to her?" He then proceeds to show me the text from his sis where he had her screen shot of my latest Instagram pic. So after taking a selfie with Him, I'm like......
This is how the other half lives! Selena, I get it girl. I get it.
Gosh. FAME. It just happens so fast.
The selfie taking drew some attention and the mob of 15 year old girls in front of us started staring at me trying to find out if I was famous I suppose. One girl totally nonchalant had her phone out and says in a lazy and uninterested tone "Hey. Are you famous on Instagram?" I was like "oh hahaha. No." But still soaring from my recent recognition and comvinced that she TOO probably wanted to take a selfie with me, I followed it up with "but you can still follow me if you want!" I didn't even get to finish giving my Instagram handle before little miss uninterested had already looked away and put her phone down. Ohhhhhhh k.
Welcome back to earth, Laura. Welcome back.
So I had my 15 minutes of fame, which was actually more like 5. But whatevs. It was still a fun night from the high to the crash and burn. And Selena? She slayyyyyyyyyyyyed. So good.
Happy Friday, friends!!
Laura
Hi, friends!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope this Monday is being nice to you.
I'm really loving the pixie pants from Old Navy right now. Anything that works for Spring/Summer and can still stick around for the Fall is a win in my book. These gingham pants are on clearance but they're coming out with tons of new patterns for these peplum tops so I imagine we will be seeing loooooots more of these to come. I'm not mad about it. The $15 dollar price tag is also something to not be mad about.
