CASUAL FRIDAY

Another week has flown by and it's Friday again! I hope everyone has some great plans for Mother's Day. the weather is going to be beautiful, so I hope your plans involve being outside. This is the first pair of Converse that I have ever owned....ever. I don't know what took me so long. I always thought they looked funny on my feet or made my feet look really long, but I don't know what I was thinking because I love these shoes. I love them so much now though that I am so nervous to get them dirty! I feel like everyone goes through that with new shoes. You get so upset to get that first scratch or stain, but then once you get past that, it's not as big deal. Not gunna lie, I'm sure I will cry myself to sleep the first time I get a stain on these shoes, but I will get through it. If anyone has any tips one how to keep these babies clean, please let me know!

PINK GINGHAM + EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT

I spoke about the brand Joe Fresh at JCPenney earlier in the week and this pink gingham top is another great find from the brand. This same top is twice the price at J Crew! I can't get enough of it and I also can't get enough of these shoes. They are one of those pieces of clothing that just make you happy when you wear them. Well at least they make me happy, maybe I'm the only one whose mood is changed by their clothes... Anyway, this outfit screams spring to me and it's still simple and casual. 

So on to the exciting news. A few weeks back I posted on my Facebook page that I had purchased my ticket to the STL Spring Fashion week. I also entered my blog for a chance to be part of a VIP blogger lounge that will be happening two weeks before the Fashion Shows. To my surprise I was selected! But it gets even better. I received an email yesterday that I was also selected to be one of 4 VIP bloggers to sit front row at the Rebecca Minkoff Show!! Not only do I get to sit front row, but I get to be dressed by Rebecca and mingle with her and her crew. Oh, and I get to keep the clothes!! Ahh I'm so excited. Be sure to check back as I will be posting photos from all Fashion Week events! I am so thankful for Alive Magazine giving me this opportunity and I can not wait!
