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!

EMBROIDERED

Everyone loves pastels in Spring. It's so nice to see color again after a season of lots of black. Don't get me wrong I love black, but it's so refreshing to see pops of color showing up again. Whether it's flowers blooming or more color in your wardrobe. It's just...ahhh so nice. I think my favorite color for Spring would have to be mint and I wanted a mint purse, so when I came across this one, I was sold. I think it is adorable inside and out. And it looks cute when you take the shoulder strap off. I didn't take a picture of it but the inside is black and white striped. The price was pretty reasonable too so you can't go wrong.

Now, on to the top. There are certain clothing details that I am immediately drawn to and embroidery is one of them. This is a made out of a light weight sweatshirt material so it's super comfortable. Another great find at Target! That place is a danger zone. You walk in there wanting one thing and end up with and entire cart...
