Wishlist: Summer Purse

While not wanting to spend a lot of money, I would love to have a new purse for the summer.  Keeping price range in mind, I found a few purses that I would love to have one in my closet.  I especially love the cognac colored purse and the one with colorblocked purse.  I think it's such a fun way to integrate this trend in your wardrobe.  Do you have a favorite summer purse to recommend?

Saw this video tweeted this evening and thought it was just too cute not to share.  Who wouldn't want to see a mama cat hug her kitten?  Hope that this brightens your Thursday evening!

It's safe to say that I love everything about Kate's outfit, and I mean, really what's not to love about it?  I'm obsessed with both the pink oversized clutch and wider stripe dress.  Now if only I could find both of those items, then I would love to recreate her outfit!

Inspiration Board

{Start with desired frame}

{Trace and cut foam core board to just larger than the opening of the frame}

{Lay out cork to cover the entire piece of foam core and start gluing the cork.  I outlined it with glue and then put some in the middle too.}

{Once all the cork is glued to the board, insert it into frame.  From the back of the frame, hammer nails in at an angle and bend in towards the foam.  Repeat this for all four sides (Thank you to my BF for helping)}

{Completed cork in frame}

{Pin any photos you like, and then let the inspiration flow!}

I finally found some time this weekend to create my inspiration board.  I had so much fun making this board, and it only took a few items: a frame, three sheets of cork, tacky glue, four nails, and foam core board.

{Button-Up: Old Navy, Jeans: Banana Republic, Heels: Target}

I seem to have inadvertently taken a break from blogging, but I'm back with an outfit post for the day.  This was the gem of a shirt that I found at Old Navy the other week.  Although it wrinkled easily, it was super comfy all day at work.  Also, now that I look at this outfit, I'm realizing that the entire outfit cost less than $50.  I got a great deal on these jeans at the Banana Republic outlet this weekend, and my only complaint about them is two of the button loops are rather large and seem to stick out from my hips like ears.  Any ideas on how to remedy this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Although I'm not necessarily a fan of the outfit itself, I am inspired by the color combination in it. I have a shirt with the colors in her skirt and like the idea of pairing it with gray or brown.  Also seeing the skirt next to the yellow NYC Taxi makes me want to pair my shirt with my yellow skirt.

Happy Wednesday!

Olive Straw Sunglasses

I wanted to share with you all some of my recent purchases.  I have a nice pair of sunglasses (aviators too), but sometimes I worry about carrying them with me for fear of breaking them! The sunglasses were purchased at Ross, and they're Jessica Simpson brand.  Before unveiling the straw hat in a couple weekends, I'm planning on adding ribbon around the top.  It was such a great deal at Target, only $2.50! Finally, this light weight button up shirt is perfect for spring and early summer, and it was such a great deal at Old Navy that I couldn't pass it up!
