A Fresh New Planner I LOVE!

Happy Monday Ladies! How many of you are teachers? Or just love to randomly pick up a new planner? A few years ago I got in the habit of getting a new planner in August rather than in January. I'm not a teacher nor do I work in a field where August is the start of a new season, but I just love starting afresh halfway through the year. Ok, August isn't exactly halfway, but close enough.



I like giant daily planners that give you a lot of space for every day since I like to make detailed lists of day to day and work tasks. My planner is pretty much glued to my hip all week so it has to be a set up that meets my needs. I have tried so many different planners and spent so much money on much pricer daily planners, but I've become a huge fan of a very affordable option. Target has great daily planners that give you a whole page for each day and is divided into hourly sections which is exactly what I prefer. Last year I picked up one of the Day Designers, but this year I chose a Blue Sky beauty that I think I like even more. It is 372 pages and is the size of a full sheet of paper.


There are also smaller weekly and less roomy versions if you aren't an over the top planner list maker like I am. Or if you just really like the watercolor print then you can check out the 12 month wall calendar



Great Deals on Books with Thriftbooks!

I wanted to tell you lovely ladies about something I've been completely obsessed with lately! I recently discovered a website where you can buy used books for a fraction of retail price! For years I've had a rapidly growing book wishlist that I couldn't keep up with. You guys, I was up to over 600 books. Can you imagine what that would have cost me on Amazon?




Before I go any further, let me stress that this is in no way a sponsored post. This is purely my honest love and obsession for this site.



So basically, you can head to the Thriftbooks website and search for any book title and you will get results based on what they currently have in stock. You will be able to choose your title in different conditions and the price will reflect that. I stick to Like New and Excellent conditions and let me tell how accurate those descriptions are.  If your title isn't currently in stock just add it to your wishlist and get alerted when they get a copy.




The books I have received are practically new. One did have a bit of pen mark on the front that easily wiped off with a damp cloth, but otherwise they are perfect! I have purchased books that retail for nearly $40 and have never paid over $6! What a steal!






Plus you earn points for every dollar spent and can cash them in for free books!

Floral Dress

Happy Monday ladies! I hope you've been enjoying your summer. And if you live somewhere warm like California then you know that summer will be sticking around for a while longer so I'll be sharing warmer weather styles until probably mid-October.

I wanted to share a beautiful Amazon find that I have been enjoying. I'm really into button down Maxi dresses for the summer. They are fresh and breezy while still feminine. I feel like they make you look like you really tried even if you just threw it on and I am all for that easy and effortless style!



 I have to be completely honest though, and it kills me because I honestly LOVE this dress and the quality. My dress came in with two buttons at the stomach area missing. So annoying, right? Since I was leaving the next morning I didn't have time to get it exchanged, but luckily I'm great with a needle and thread and just moved two buttons from the bottom up to the top. I was planning on leaving the bottom two unbuttoned anyway so no issues there! And it's under $30!

Even with the bummer of the missing buttons I HIGHLY recommend this dress! The fabric is wonderful and has a lining that makes it not see through at all. I got so many compliments on it and it's selling out super fast so hurry if you want it!
