CAMO COOL

Camo is still hot, but this stylized print can be a bit intimidating. What do you match with an military-inspired pattern? Turns out, quite a lot. Moto jackets, plain soft sweaters and tops, denim vests and jackets, a fitted blazer, graphic tees and my favorite: a chambray button down. 

 I own a lot of these shirts but this new one has become my favorite for the cut, the vintage vibe, the detail and the fact that is is so so soft. It is a boyfriend vintage western from
American Eagle.

Necklace is from American Eagle too

9 THINGS THAT INEVITABLY HAPPEN AT TARGET

Ladies, you know what I'm talking about. Oh yeah. the rush, the deals, the beauty. Target beckons us!! It does, that red bulls eye is the symbol of life. The epitome of our shopping lusts and addictions! lol.

So, it goes something like this.......

1. You go in for eyeshadow and almond butter. It'll take what? 5 minutes? 10 tops?

You come out 1 hour later with a cart full and you forgot the darn eyeshadow. 

2. You will not look in the dollar bins

 Only on your way in, you saw those red and white checked plastic hot dog holders and well, you WILL have a backyard BBQ this summer

3. AFTER You throw your hot dog holders in the cart, you tell yourself no more, 

NO MORE 

 But you have to go on the other side and that's where you fight some lady over the last teal and white damask clipboard. She, as the more mature lady, decides it's not worth the fight. 

You Holler a tiny "victory"!!!! 

4. You tell yourself you won't look at clothes

But then you will definitely look at clothes, someone left the "I don't sweat, I sparkle" tank on the end cap. Hmmm, what else is looking cute today?

5. You think to yourself, “Hmm, I just looked at the home decor last week.”

So, of course, you go look to see if anything has changed. I mean, maybe they got some new rugs in. 

6. You will not go into the hair aisle 

Guess what you're doing tonight? Dying your hair a beautiful shade of extra light natural blond (got it on clearance) and using a bristle brush. 

7. You pass the nail polish aisle and stop to take a look, even though you have plenty at home.

 

So you grab a purple push-up OPI and hot pink sizzle Essie.
Well you don't have these shades yet. 

8. You realize you’ve spent too much time in Target and really need to leave.

 Wait, you have to look at the accessories first! You need a Blue Fedora with a white band to go with your swimsuit.


 9. Making your way to checkout, you say "I will not use my RED card, I will not use my RED card"

 Cashier: "Do you want to save 5% and use your Red Card?" Me: "Heck yeah I do"
(who cares about the 22.9 % APR, it's Target...you'll pay it off so you can what?   Yep, buy more stuff!)
*and since this post first went live, I've learned of the coveted Debit Red Card!!! 

What did I just do??? I'm good with Target, for awhile.......til next week!

Gosh, I miss her!! My husband always used to compare me to her at the holidays. Oh, the memories. Maybe I'll dress as her for Halloween this year. Bet Target has a costume!

9 REASONS WHY I LOVE MONDAYS

Hi all, I hope you had a fantastic weekend!! Mine was very much laid back and about the most exciting thing that happened was a new walking trail while waiting for the next baseball game to start. I love finding new places to walk or run and this was a neat mile trail around the park

Here it is. LOL

I will admit I was not always a self proclaimed "Monday lover!" In my head I would profess Monday's Suck! I could hit that snooze 4 times with the best of them and complain "I don't wanna go!"

However, I decided to take a look at it from another angle. Sure, Mondays can be many different things. Words I’ve heard used recently include horrible, stressful and sleepy… Ouch. I’m sure you get the idea.

 Yet Monday is so much more than doom and gloom. Maybe this day is not one of your favorites but never forget that everyday you wake up is an amazing gift and it's up to you to make it count!!!

I came up with 9 reasons to LOVE (well, at least like) Monday's and I think you'll enjoy some of them too!!!

1. Monday means a new start!

  Last week might have been hectic or boring, draining or entirely disappointing. But that’s all in the past. Monday brings with it a new opportunity to refocus and set goals for life as it moves forward. This day is a fresh start, and as new start is a positive event...always!!

 2. It’s a good time to . . . 

 A little Monday trivia: Monday is the best time to shop online. You can expect lower prices on most sites early in the week. It’s also when a majority of people read blogs. Monday is the safest day to get surgery (Okay?), and it’s the best day to look for a job.

3. Talk about your fun!

 9 times outta 10, someone will ask you about your weekend. You probably watched a good movie, TV show and/or read an interesting book. Maybe you tried a great, new restaurant. Friends and colleagues might relate and genuinely enjoy hearing about what you did for fun.

 4. MYday!!!

  Mon means MY in French. Therefore Monday=My Day, make it an amazing one!!

5. Other People's fun!

 Monday is the day we get to hear all the news, gossip and shenanigans from the weekend.

 6. Back on track!!!!
 So you had 3 slices of pizza Friday night, junk food Saturday, ice cream on Sunday, Monday is the perfect day to be back in routine and back on track with your diet. Meals at the same time and healthy options because you really want to do good this week just in case you want dessert and hot dogs the weekend.

 7. Two Guaranteed Holiday's
 Monday is the only day guaranteed twice a year for holidays (Memorial and Labor Day's) That means 3 days weekends!! I know I sure am looking forward to the one we have coming up and I bet you guys are too!!

  8. Resolutions?
 Monday's are like mini New Years......set MINI resolutions......they're so much easier to stick to. 

 9.  Closer to the fun days!!
 We are one day closer to Friday. Monday is the perfect time to stat planning for the weekend and have something to look forward to! 4 more days people, only 4 more days!! Whoohoo

Even if you still despise em', that's ok. However from my heart to yours, I hope you find something to smile about today and think to yourself, maybe Monday is not so bad after alll!
