Trix Krispie Treats
Dear friends, I hope that you are all hanging in there at this challenging and sometimes scary time. I know it is particularly confusing for our little ones to witness these sweeping changes in their lives and routines. At times like this I find that I seek solace in a little bit of cooking as it helps take my mind off other concerns. So, I thought that I’d share a recipe that your kids might enjoy; Trix marshmallow treats. I know that my teenage boys love it. It’s a very easy recipe with only three ingredients. Perhaps you and your kids can make some today! Hope that you’re all staying safe. Take care.

Blouse: Purple tie-neck blouse // Headband: Houndstooth headband (old) similar here // Earrings: Heart gold and pearl earrings (old). Similar here // Lashes: 3 brands of magnetic lashes (linked below in my review of each style)
Dear friends, I’m a bit of a lash fiend! I’ve been rocking fake lashes since my college days and have, through trial and error, figured out the best way to apply them and have them hold for a day or night out. I have to admit, though, that the traditional way of applying a thin line of sticky glue to the lash band and then gingerly placing the lashes on your lash line can be challenging to even the most seasoned lashaholic! Well, the answer to the most lash-challenged amongst us is here: magnetic lashes!!

Dinner Plates: Blue and pink gingham plates // Dessert Plates: Bunny plates // Napkins: Purple gingham napkins (old from “Homegoods”). Similar here // Flatware: Gold flatware set (old). Similar here.
The stores are stocked with the most delightful Easter items. I was traipsing through my local Target store a couple of weeks ago and fell upon these adorable bunny and gingham plates! I like that they can be used at any time of the year beyond Easter and I plan on mixing and matching them with other plates that I already have at home. They are made out of a heavy melamine which is great because they can be used indoors and outdoors without any fear of them breaking. You won’t believe the price for these cute pieces; $3 for the bunny plates and $3.50 for the gingham plates! They’re also available online. Hop to it!!

The set includes a necklace, bracelet and earrings and is priced at an amazing $53! Shipping is free. It is available in an array of other pretty colors too.

Dear friends, bright jewel tones are going to be big this spring! I found this adorable top and skirt at one of my favorite retailers, Shein. It’s so vibrant and feminine with the ruffle sleeves and hem. The waist is cinched with a flattering tie and the asymmetrical gold embroidered floral design adds an unusual design touch. Both pieces are less than $22 each and when paired would make a perfect outfit for a bridal shower, summer party or ladies’ lunch!

Sequin Matador // Luxe Sweat Pants
Shop My Look Here:
Top: Cream silky tie-neck blouse // Pants: Rose gold sequin jogger pants // Earrings: Old (from Baublebar). Similar here // Shoes: Two-tone pumps
Dear friends, you may have seen these sequin jogger pants all over Instagram or in the fashion magazines. They have been hugely popular and the stores can’t keep them in stock. They are from “Free People,” a company know for it’s boho-chic style. There’s a reason that they’re flying off the shelves; they’re really comfortable!! They are lined with a thin jersey layer which renders them warm and soft to the skin. They have a drawstring waist and cinched ankles that can be worn scrunched up the calf, for a different look.

Dear friends, I’m caught in a blizzard. Please send champagne immediately!! How cute and eye-catching is this champagne bottle-shaped bag? If you look at the close-up photo, you can see that it is encrusted with a glitter and sequin trim and comes with a gold chain handle that converts it into a cross-body style. I had seen this bag about a year ago but didn’t purchase it at that time. I was still thinking about it and, lo and behold, it recently showed up on the DSW website for $65!

Shop My Look:
Jacket: Red Faux leather bomber jacket // Dress: Leopard slip dress // Shoes: Patent leather booties // Earrings: Old. Identical ones here.
Dear friends, who doesn’t love a good animal print?! This particular dress caught my eye because the leopard print is executed in such an unusual combination of colors. The red, blue and pink color way is so striking and pairs perfectly with this vibrant cherry red faux leather bomber jacket. The dress comes in two other designs and the jacket is stocked in four colors. You won’t believe where I got these two pieces: Walmart!! I do my grocery shopping there, but buy clothes? Who would have thought!
