FRIDAY FAVORITES......YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

 

First vaccine shot down, one to go. Thinking that most definitely is a Favorite, but let’s get to more of the fun stuff on this last Friday of March! I've got A LOT of GOOD and BEAUTIFUL STUFF


1. Clara Sunwoo
"Grecian" Halter Neck 
Pocket Gaucho Jumpsuit

Many of you may remember a few weeks ago when I introduced you to the beautiful mother daughter design team a Clara Sunwoo! I fell completely head over heels in love with their Liquid Leather Jacket. Well, if that was enough to solidify my love for Clara and Roseann and their team, enter this Grecian Halter pocket gaucho Jumpsuit in the Floral Splatter print. I shared this on Instagram Monday and noted that my longtime dream would’ve been to go to Greece for my 50th birthday, which is next Friday. Unfortunately, the world has other plans, but I sure was excited this past Saturday when Mr. Nine and I went on a little day date and he got these pictures. I have not felt real beautiful lately but I DID feel beautiful in this Jumpsuit!!


This Jumpsuit is literally everything! The cut is so flattering, it was super easy to get down I’m back up. It does not wrinkle and is so high-quality! I was joking with a member of their team that I want to use my own promo code to get the same jumpsuit in the Black because I LOVED it so much! In the meantime, you guys use my promo code which is Andrea15 until 3/31 to get 15% off your entire order at Clara Sunwoo and trust me when I say, you will fall in love with them just as much as I have.



AND THE DAY DATE...

It wasn’t much, just a dinner out the favorite little bistro, a couple local shops and a pop in the grocery store on the way home, but to me, it was everything because we literally had not gone anywhere since we went to see our son in Indianapolis in January. 

Didn’t take many pictures, I was absorbed in the moment but here’s a few snapshots of food and a couple cute things I saw. My drink was called County Fair and it was apple infused siesta key rum with homemade caramel sauce on the rim and chopped pecans, of course I had 2, lol.


Mr. Nine also got a picture of me in this jumpsuit by a "you are beautiful" sign which I thought was just perfect!



2. TLC Candle Co.

Someone else who is beautiful & will make you feel beautiful is my friend Tami Crawford, a fellow Hoosier, at TLC Candle Co. in Fishers, Indiana! Tami knows the importance of “me time” and that we don’t always carve it out for ourselves.



 How brilliant to light a candle and with the luscious soy candle scents, have your emotions envelop a MUST give yourself some me time mentality! Tami has a fabulous website for all your candle needs and a BLOG and offers the most wonderful scents. Her two wick candles come in beautiful glass holders inside the most delightful tins! The tins are reusable, and she actually pours all of her own pure soy candles with extra TLC of course including 100% pure fragrance oil and cotton wicks. 

Check out her About Page and follow her on Instagram. The two scents that I got are out of this world delightful and big bestsellers! 

The WHITE TEA



and the SEASIDE 

 

They burn so beautifully, and I truly wish you could smell them through the screen!! Magnificent!! 

She also has a cement vessel and these really cool dough bowls, which have the candle poured right down in the bowls, there are three wick ones and five wick ones.

4. Los Angeles Apparel
Basically I’m sitting here trying to look cool and tell you that you can look beautiful even in a sweatsuit! When there are pieces that come in a bazillion colors, are as soft as can be and from an amazing company like Los Angeles Apparel, you can’t help but feel good! I can’t help but feel a little retro in this set, old-school Billabong Ball Cap and Stan Smith Sneakers! Pink Half Zip Fleece HERE and Bottoms HERE


Thought I’d be really cool & get some pictures blowing bubbles with the bubblegum I was chewing, which I had not had bubblegum in a long time, but not only were my bubbles not getting very big they kept smashing in my face, LOL. Yeah Hubba Bubba gum tape was all I could find and it's not real good for BIG Bubbles. Ha!

Los Angeles Apparel is everything that is good in this world! They believe in quality, passion, sustainability, creative commitment and knowing how important the people are that make their clothes! They attract and retain the highest caliber of employees and I love that, not to mention that they’re clothing is out of this world comfortable!

SHARING SPRING COLOR

Oh friends, how I love me some springtime color! And that is exactly what 4 blogger friends, and I are doing this week! Over on Instagram, we are doing an ushering in Spring with color share week! Each day, one of us, is going to bring you the most beautiful array of springtime colors!

 

My day was yesterday, and so I thought over here on the blog today, I would share some of my finds! I saved everything to a highlight reel on my Instagram profile, so you can check all of it out. Everything is very accessible and very affordable and I’m swooning over the beautiful Hues!!

I don’t shop a lot at Walmart, but I sure am a fan of that Scoop Line that I just discovered last year. They often have beautiful prints and colors and the spring they are killing it!


I mean will you just look at this Gauze Dress! It checks all the boxes, it’s nice and cool and comfortable, the two colors are absolutely gorgeous, it flows really nice, has a super cool hem and tassels to top it off!

DRESS HERE // EARRINGS HERE // SANDALS HERE // NECKLACE HERE


The color of this next Top is called watermelon and I am swooning! I loved this top the minute I pulled it out of the bag. You often wonder what the colors are going to be when you order things online and the color of these two items were spot on! I love the way it fits; it doesn’t wrinkle, and I love the ruffles!


TOP HERE // JEANS HERE // SANDALS HERE// EARRINGS HERE


I am all about a casual look! This little coral colored Short Sleeve Sweatshirt from Target is so comfortable! I love that I can pair it with jeans or a great pair of jean shorts like these, which are also from Target.


TOP HERE // SHORTS HERE // SANDALS HERE // NECKLACE HERE // SUNGLASSES HERE


Oh, these two pieces have my heart! Not to mention the shoes! This little Eyelet Embroidery Top  looks boutique quality but it’s from Amazon and I just love it. I think that it too will be cute with jeans or Jean shorts. You know I love pleated skirts and this magenta it’s just beautiful! I love peering these two together with a pop of yellow in the earrings!


TOP HERE // SKIRT HERE & HERE // SANDALS HERE // EARRINGS HERE

This top looked cute with Jean shorts too. And Tory Burch Flats.

And let’s talk about all the ladies involved in this color share! I adore them all and several of them I have known since the beginning of my blogging journey. If you don’t already love them, you will, so make sure you check out their blogs and their Instagram profiles! They always find the cutest pieces and they are so fun to follow!

COFFEE THEMED TIERED TRAY

I’ve had this tray decorated for a while now and I’m finally getting around to sharing it. It’s literally one that you could leave up year-round and would look really cute on a coffee bar.

 
It’s a fabulous coffee themed tiered tray! And guess what, it even smells like coffee. The Little Burlap Bag has real coffee beans in it that smell heavenly.

 



The faux Whipped Mug Toppers with coffee beans were created especially for me from Heather from Simply Radiating Decor. They are so cute. And her Shop is one of my favorites on Etsy.


 And of course I had to have a Knit Hat on one of my mugs and since I adore Starbucks, I love that it had the Starbucks theme. I added a few little pops of the Starbucks green on this tray too.




Being a Def Leopard fan of the 80's, the Pour some sugar on me Wood Sign was perfect!


 This will probably be the last tray I share for a while. My heart is full for them and they bring me joy and they do well here on the Blog and on Pinterest, but no one really resonates with them as much on Instagram. So, in actuality, I should probably quit Instagram and not the tiered tray life, LOL! And the Total Truth is, I am kind of running out of creativity for them in my old age.

K, Going to get a cup of coffee now and have that song in my head.

Hope you have a great start to your Spring Week!

FRIDAY FAVORITES.....SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Spring officially arrives tomorrow, and it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful weekend here in Indiana! I’m just antsy for pool time and getting my flowers in the dirt but that’ll still be several weeks out. Hopefully, I can soak up some sunshine with a good book this weekend!

1. Bar Cart
This Bar Cart was one of the first purchases I made for my glam space when we moved into our house. I shared it with you before, but with some new followers, I thought I would share again because I have a confession. This bar cart is for decoration only and I don’t change it out for the seasons, gasp, I know! This bottle of champagne has been on here for three years and it just matches the space so well that there’s no reason to change it up. Basically, the liquor is just for show, LOL. Now, I do love that it is on wheels in case I need to roll it somewhere, LOL! AnyWho, this bar cart is one of the most popular at World Market so I thought I would share it again and some fun finds to go on it like the fun LetterBoard with lil Champagne Bottles. And of course one must have Pink Champagne Flutes and some darling Stemless Ones.
Cheers!

And here is some goodness to go on it!



2. Red Aspen Nails

My dear friend Holly over at Everyday Holly sent me some gorgeous press on nails called Red Aspen Nail Dashes as she knows I love doing my own and have for a decade now. The color selections are glorious and so far, the ones I have on, have stayed on for 13 days without any lifting and I just love them! I’ve used another brand of press ons for years and I think these are way better quality. AND gasp, the nail dashes are reusable! Other brands are not! Sooo cool! 

Make sure you check them out HERE because they’re so easy to do. She also has nail highlight reels on her Instagram!

And they even send a cute lil card that I'm using as a bookmark.

4. Easter Dress Contender
Well, it’s highly doubtful I’ll even be wearing a dress on Easter, but we can still have some contenders that may end up on the summer dining alfresco wardrobe list. That includes this adorable and flattering Dress. It’s a fraction of the cost at Nordstrom Rack and it’s just so charming. There are several different colors and patterns, but I just loved the sage green, red and navy blue background of this one. And Lace up Sandals are my favorite Summer sandal. These Red ones are only $30, come in other colors and very comfy.

BEACH TOWELS FROM SOCIETY6
More Society6 goodness! I mentioned in my Instagram stories that I had been on the hunt for extra-long Beach Towels and 4 matching ones to go on four pool chaises. You know I love me some pineapples so the pink pineappley Beach Towel Goodness from Society6 was perfect!

and sad Truth:


HAPPY SPRING WEEKEND....
