FRIDAY FAVORITES EUROPE HERE WE COME

Messy Bun, getting stuff done, EUROPE here we come!! 

Well Maybe...read at end.

Happy first Friday of spring! It’s about here my friends, and I’m over the moon Excited! But as always, lots of great Friday favorites!

  

1. Pink Houndstooth & Legally Blonde

You may remember from last Friday that my mom and I attended the weekly blonde musical and boy was it good! We had a wonderful meal to start at a new to our area restaurant called Fat Bird, where they made special (AND delicious) "Bend and Snap" cocktails just for the musical weekend!! 

I wanted something very Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon’s character in the movie) to wear to the musical and boy did I find the perfect outfit! The piece underneath is a DRESS and then I ordered the JACKET separately. I thought of taking that jacket to Europe, but not sure. It’s a beautiful pink, kind of orchid color with cream. Went to the bathroom and a girl said "SO Elle Woods, love it!"

AND the Shoes: Cecelia New York

Because of the weather, I was unable to wear these beautiful Cecilia New York shoes called The COOPER to the musical, but they will be on repeat this spring and summer because they are so beautiful. The ribbon ties also come in a solid color so you can switch out. So well-made and I love the Lucite heal. 

2. Purple Slip Dress

Isn’t that a purple for you! So in love with this beautiful Purple Slip Dress from Peppered with Leopard. My dear friend, Lisa owns this cute online boutique, so full of colors, great trends, and pretty pieces! Check out the entire site HERE.

3. Trench Coats

A Trench Coat, especially in the Spring, is everything! Trying to decide if I am taking both or not? This first Black/Brown one is so chic! 

This Tan One is the BEST Quality I've seen, 

will have forever in my closet!

4. Paris Shirts

Of course, some beautiful Paris items got me even more in the mood. This first T-shirt was a beautiful early birthday gift from my mama! Isn’t it darling with the little macaroons, Eiffel Tower and bicycle? Get tee HERE!

She also got me a beautiful Scarf and Card Set with a Paris motif also from Amazon.

 

This Soft Sweatshirt, I will wear a lot. It’s from Abercrombie, slightly cropped, and like I said, super soft! Of course with some Navy Spanx Air Essentials Pants! (Use code: CLOUDNINEXSPANX)

NOT A FAVORITE 

BUT A PRAISE JESUS STELLA MAE IS OK

My sweet precious girl being sick! Sweet Stella Mae vomited and had diarrhea all night last Sunday night. We got her into the vet right away Monday morning and she got admitted to the ICU, where she stayed for the next couple days getting intravenous medicines and fluid. As I write this, she is home and stable but with my subacute care and our trip is a little bit up in the air. The good news is she’s making improvements each day so please pray for our sweet baby and us!

Have a Fabulous weekend Friends!!

Cheers! Merci!

LOVE YOU!!

FRIDAY FAVORITES HI MARCH

Hello, first Friday in March! Always wonder what this month will hold, especially for weather. Wednesday was beyond glorious; almost 60 and sunny. Stella Mae got a great vet report that day too at her checkup! As always, I’ve got some great Friday favorites and I hope your weekend ahead is spectacular!

 

1. Eyelash Tutorial

While Instagram refused to show it to the masses (What’s new?) I shared my Eyelash Tutorial in a reels video yesterday HERE. The two products I used were: KISS MLBB Eyelashes in"So Real" and the Black GLUEliner.

Checkered Top HERE

2. Blue Target Slip Dress

This $25 Dress from Target in the title photo makes me smile! I swear this is the blue shade of the spring and summer! I’m not really sure what you call it I guess sort of marine, marine blue. I found a pair of pants in this color from J.Crew but now I’m on the hunt for a sweater to take to Europe.

I like this dress with both the white leather jacket and Jean Jacket but I think the white really makes the blue pop more.

The Sandals with this Cuteness!

3. Workwear to Casual with One Outfit

Did someone say slimming pants! I think these Pants from SPANX are the most slimming pants in my closet and such a flattering fit! The side split hem is adorable, and they sell out so quick. But they always restock. I loved how they can be for workwear like I showed here with the Button Down White Shirt or for casual by adding sneakers and a sweatshirt; on or tied over the shoulders (this one is my beloved Air Essentials Crew in pale pink)

Use Code CLOUDNINEXSPANX for 10% off and a great thing Spanx also offers: FREE Shipping and FREE Returns.

4. Dark Palm Set

Here’s another example of when you love something so much you get it in another color! LIKE ALL MY SPANX Air Essentials, This dark palm is absolutely gorgeous. It’s like a deep olive. The Cocoon Cardigan and Wide Leg Pants are like butter and I loved putting the stripe long sleeve T-shirt underneath, and again you can use code: CLOUDNINEXSPANX
