FRIDAY FAVORITES.....LEOPARD EDITION

I’m so wishy-washy when it comes to weather! Remember last week when I said I closed my eyes real tight and wished for snow and then I turned around and shared a post this week standing on a patch of snow and wished for beach weather! I blame it on living in northern Indiana and never really getting the ideal seasonal days except for a few dozen a year. We did get an absolutely beautiful snowstorm this week and I was able to stay home all day and have a snow day completely enchanted by the falling flakes. One thing I’m definitely not wishy-washy about is lovely leopard! I mean come on; it is my favorite color LOL; I mean print/neutral!

1. Leopard Goodness

So Much Leopard to be had! I am especially excited that the Barefoot Dreams blanket in the Hard to Find, often sold out Cream and Stone is now available on Amazon!! Here is more Leopard LOVELINESS:

Leopard Earrings
I wanted to hurry up and get this out there before the month is up because I keep forgetting these beautiful round nova cork Earrings from Nickel & Suede are their earring of the month, so they are discounted and will go with everything. I ordered a pair on Tuesday, so they are on their way to me. I see myself wearing these all spring & summer long. You have today and tomorrow yet since it’s leap day, so scoop them up!

Leopard Blazers

On a couple occasions, HERE & HERE, I’ve shown you my beautiful leopard blazer! I wear it all the time so I was so excited when I saw this one almost identical at Express! And one from Revolve.

2. Blogger Lunch

It’s no secret I love meeting fellow bloggers! I mean its bloggers who are my closest friends. I have had the honor of meeting 22 blogger and after this week, 23 in person and it’s always so much fun because of that special bond. I had the honor this week of joining the precious Paula from Dimples On My What? for a lovely afternoon in her delightful home! This lady and her talented husband and contracting crew literally transformed a fixer-upper to true Chip and Jo Jo status! Every room is a delight and she made it so warm and cozy with candles, a fire, muffins and homemade chicken salad along with some delicious flavored iced tea! Best of all was our sweet conversation about life, blogging strategy, social media and all things family and decor! I can’t wait to spend more time with her and I’m still in shock that we only live 20 minutes from each other and did not know it for the longest time! Check out her Instagram too!! She's the REAL DEAL friends!

Her dining room is farmhouse fab and so were the muffins, lol!

I showed you Sunday this fabulous dress in my Instagram stories and my LikeToKnow.it. It is so spectacular; I cannot even tell you. At first, I thought do I really wanna wear a nightie? But the slip dress truly is a dress especially with all the ways you can style it. Today, I’ve done a Jean jacket and sock booties for you, but I snapped some shots of another styling that I’ll share at a later date. Trust me when I say you would love this dress, it has adjustable straps and comes in several colors and prints and best of all, it’s on sale this week for 20 bucks!

BEACH PLEASE

There is something so wrong with this picture! Where is the beach? I’m standing on the teeny patch of snow in 25° weather wishing I could lay by a body of water with sun on my face. It will come soon enough and when it does you can bet; I will be wearing this darling beach vibe outfit from XCVI!

 The aqua minty shade three-quarter length sleeve hoodie is so soft and will absolutely be on repeat. And what I adore besides the crocheting on these beautiful white linen pants is that they can double as a swimsuit cover-up!

The Detailing is just so darling. This is such an easy breezy outfit to wear and can be jazzed up with the floppy straw beach hat and embellish sandals.

XCVI specializes in wearable pieces with comfort and ease and they especially offer lots of spring and summer wear. They’ve made it even more enticing by offering y’all a code for 20% off the entire site. Use code CLOUD20 and see for yourself how cute these pieces are HERE! 

 You know the groundhog did say we were going to have an early spring so maybe it will get here sooner and I can wear this outfit earlier this year despite this snowy week currently here in Indiana. I’ll never stop dreaming because exactly 2 months from today they open our pool! I’ll just wear this pretty outfit and wait patiently, LOL!

THE BODYSUIT IS BACK

I was such a bodysuit lover back in the late 80s early 90s. I’ll show you a picture of my favorite bodysuit a little bit further down in this post. A few years ago, I wasn’t sure if I could get back into them. You may remember the infamous too short crazy town one I tried on in Forever 21 from this Post. However, they’ve made a lot of strides in the past few years and are finally making them longer, so they are not riding up your butt all day.

I first showed you this black bodysuit (under $20 BTW) when a I did a re-creation a couple weeks ago HERE with the green pleated midi skirt.

Well, I was so in love, I immediately wanted to see what it would look like with jeans. My high waisted Levi’s were perfect with it and so I knew it was a keeper since it could be dressed up or down and was wedgie free!!

FRIDAY FAVORITES....WARM UP EDITION

We are getting a warm-up this weekend and I’m hoping that the sun will shine. It was chilly at the beginning of the week, so I had to find ways to warm up, LOL! Here are the warm favorites of the week:

1. Medicine Ball

When I was sick last week, I finally had a reason to get the coveted medicine ball tea from Starbucks. Oh, my word was it ever delicious! I knew this would be easy to replicate at home and here are a couple recipes for it that tastes exactly like it! If you’re sick or you have a sickie or you just want to yummy tea, give it a try! 

The picture of my ingredients below was my favorite way. The graphic recipe made two servings. But mine, makes one serving..directions on the graphic below.

2. The Tipsy Biscuit

On Wednesday, I had to pick up my mom early from the airport after a two-week sunny trip to Florida! I had decided that we would do a yummy breakfast as I knew she would be hungry after an early flight. The night before on the news, a new breakfast joint in our area was highlighted called the Tipsy Biscuit. The mimosas alone told me I knew we had to go there. My poor mom was only going on three hours sleep so she didn’t want any pictures, but I could get a picture of the biscuits and mimosas, LOL! Our biscuit order was just a half, but it was humongous! Super yummy!

4.  YES WE VIBE Boots
and Chunky Sweater
I did a poll on Instagram a few weeks ago asking for outfit ideas with these  Yes We Vibe boho chunky boots. Y’all came through for me in a fabulous way and I went with the overriding consensus to do a chunky sweater, and skinny jeans. Since it was chilly and snowy, I added a beanie although the bottom picture will show what I truly feel like in a beanie. I did a poll on LoL. This sweater is from Amazon is absolutely fantastic, soft and the perfect weight. AND YES WE VIBE is offering a couple promo codes:

Use code ANDREA10 for 10% off their website and code ANDREABOGO for Buy one, Get One free on all Footwear!

POST OF THE WEEK 
I took Monday off from blogging and the only two reasons being I didn’t have anything good to share and it was Presidents’ Day, LOL! Made it a holiday even though I don’t work outside the home. But on Wednesday, I did share my fabulous fun dress in a Post called a Wee Bit Whimsy.

LEMONS FROM MOM

My sweet mom brought me home these adorable lemon measuring spoons. She knows I’m going to be doing a lemon themed tiered tray later this spring and these will be perfect! So cute!

OUR NIECE TURNS 21 TODAY 
This sweet niece of ours turned 21 today! She is a junior at Xavier University has such a beautiful girl inside and out. She’s brilliant, has the voice of an angel and a heart of gold!

HAPPY MAIL 

The friendship of my Style Six Blogger friends warms my heart. One of those sweethearts, precious Lisa from coast to Coast sent us the sweetest Galentine‘s! She had ornaments created of two of our favorite group shots from our trip to Austin this past November. The style matches the one Shelly got us from our Nashville trip the year before. I’m thinking the goal should be to get an ornament every year so we can have our own friendship tree with these precious memories!

I HOPE YOUR WEEKEND IS
WARM & SWEET!!
