Pearls and Pastries Shop and a Giveaway...

Today I am excited to bring to you Lauren from the blog Pearls and Pastries Shop and the owner of the fantastic PearlsandPastriesShop Etsy shop. I am sure most of you are familiar with her fun and sparkly creations. You have probably seen her adorable prints and sequin hangers all over Instgram and if you are anything like me, felt that it was necessary to meet the woman behind the darling items.

I started filling my Etsy shop with things that make my days a bit brighter; hoping that in turn it would brighten yours also! I love the little extras in life whether its the beautiful confetti sitting in a bowl on my desk or hanging a new dress on a stunning gold sequin hanger.. Each time I walk past all of the little treasures featured in my shops, it puts a smile on my face!
Every girl should have a little sparkle in their life.
Enjoy- Lauren"

Buttoned Up...





























 








Jacket: American EagleSkirt: JCrewWedges: JCrewClutch: Vintage CoachSunglasses: Tory Burch

I am a firm believer in being adventurous and trying new things when it comes to what you wear. While flipping through the September issue of Insyle, I noticed alot of ads with models in denim jackets buttoned all the way up to their necks. What do you think? Do you think this works, or does it look like I am trying too hard?
Happy Tuesday!

PS Make sure you stop by tomorrow for a wonderful GIVEAWAY!

The Vest...










































Top: JCrew old (similar here)│Vest: JCrew old (JCrew Factory-check the store for herringbone)│Jeans: JCrew│Bag: Tory Burch│Wedges: Steven old│Bracelets: JCrew

This is the vest that started the craze. My sweet, thoughtful husband hunted this vest down on ebay for me after I failed to purchase it last year. I could probably talk about this vest all day (it is perfect), but instead I want to talk about the wonderful man I married. My husband goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of me and our little family. He is constantly surprising me with such thoughtful things.  Be it a sweet note or a package from Tory Burch radomnly delivered at my door, there is never a doubt in my mind that my husband is thinking of me. I hope he knows that my heart skips a beat every time I think of him.
 Happy Monday!

Sorry for the Sap...

My husbands name is Jordan. I just like calling him Fred...

Sit-Down Style Session #1...

 

Lauren and I are so happy to present this month's Sit-Down Style Session featured blogger! *drumroll please* It's Jessi of Haircut and General Attitude! Not only is Jessi absolutely gorgeous and oh-so-stylish, she is also one of the sweetest bloggers you will meet.
  
1. Describe your style in 3 words:
Girly, fun and a bit vintage!

2. Why did you start blogging?
I've always been interested in the world of beauty and over the last few years I started to really LOVE fashion. I loved playing in my closet and creating outfit. I discovered style blogging and started following a few great blogs like Delightfully Tacky and Selective Potential. I felt like this was my place. My sweet Hubby told me to go for it and really helped me find the courage to get started. I jumped into this new world knowing nothing and I learn and improve  more every day. I truly love it!

3. What do you like best about blogging and what are your goals for the future?
I like getting to share what I create and being part of such an awesome community! I love getting inspiration from other bloggers and hopefully inspiring a few people myself. I love all the friends I've made and all the opportunities that have come along. I hope to keep perfecting my blog, the design, the photography, etc. I hope to keep meeting new friends and inspiring people and I hope to one day go to New York Fashion Week! Now THAT would be awesome.

4. Pick 3 favorite outfits and describe why they are your favorite.

It's feminine and romantic. SO me. I love the textures, the tulle and the pearl shoulders. -original post-



It's comfy while still keeping stylish. I love the combo of a graphic sweater over a frilly collared blouse--and any excuse to wear leggings in public! -original post-


This one is one of those fun looks that just came together with a little playing in the closet! I love wearing shorts over black tights and this cardi (borrowed from a friend) was too darling! Plus, I'm kind of obsessed with my cute rain boots. -original post-

5. When not blogging what do you do?
I love seeking adventure with my darling Hubby and exploring new places. I like depressing music, funny movies, craft nights and nighttime runs. I also work full time at a bank, but that's boring, you don't want to know that. ;)

6. You can only shop at one store the rest of your life... What would it be?
This is way too unfair... Honestly, I don't think I could! But if I HAD to choose I'm thinking ModCloth would be a good choice! They have a huge selection, and lots of fun, unique pieces to choose from. Plus, they've kinda got my style down pat.

Happy Friday!
