2017 Pantone Color of the Year Decor Ideas

Greenery! I couldn't be more excited about the 2017 Pantone color of the year and I kinda feel like I'm the only one. Oh dear, misunderstood green. It's always been my favorite color, but whenever I reveal it to whoever asked I'm always sure to get a strange look in return. Green? Why green? Isn't pink prettier?

I was introduced to the first book in the Java Jive Mystery series, Death by Decaf, by Caroline Fardig a few months ago. I instantly became captivated and engrossed by not only the story which is full of twists and turns, but also with the main character. The series begins with Juliet, a headstrong and fiery redhead who is forced to make coffee out of the lemons that life has thrown at her. She soon finds herself intertwined with a murder and has to fight tooth and nail to clear her name. Between he wit, temper and knack for danger, I found myself glued to the pages and rooting for Juliet as though she were my friend.

Transitional Fall Decor Inspiration

As autumn looms and the excitement of changing weather begins to set in (it's 100 degrees here in California so cooler weather is VERY welcome) I'm finding myself in need of changing up the decor in my home. Okay, I'm always changing up the decor in my home, but this time the changing weather is my excuse. I'm finding inspiration everywhere and I'm not ashamed to admit that I've been on the Anthropologie website nearly every day for the past week.

Jack and Grace are the epitome of the perfect couple. He is a handsome and successful lawyer for battered women and she is the expert housewife who left her demanding job full of travel in order to dote on her loving husband. They are what marriage dreams are made of. Or are they? This book unravels and layer by layer leaves you with a chilling sense unease and shock. The twisted, more psychotic older sister to. Gone Girl, B.A Paris is making a bold mark on the literary world with this debut novel. Be prepared to sit glued to this book from beginning to end.

I recently received the Sprout Vox Box from Influenster full of goodies for people who are vegan, have diet restrictions, or are just trying to live a more green lifestyle. Yay! I am not vegan, but I live a very healthy lifestyle and due to digestion issues try to eat a lot of plant based products so this seemed like a perfect fit.

Mailbox Full of Freebies!

My mailbox looks like Christmas! I wanted to share with you, lovely ladies, how yours can too for absolutely free. Whaaat? Yep, FREE!

I get sent a lot of products to try out directly from the company so I left those out and only pictured the things that you can get too. This picture of the contents of my mailbox were all from one day, although, keep in mind that it doesn’t look like this every day. Occasionally having Christmas in your mailbox with little effort is still nice though, right?

Loreal Extraordinary Oil System Review

The Extraordinary Oil Nourishing Shampoo System is Loreal's first shampoo system with luscious, lightweight oils such as

Argan

Chamomile

Coconut

Amla

Soja

Sunflower

I have a hard time finding a shampoo that both leaves my hair feeling really clean AND nourishes it and leaves it feeling soft. Over the years I came to believe that I would have to choose one or the other, but this shampoo gives me that deep clean feeling that I desire while still spoiling my hair with nourishing oil that leaves it feeling silky soft without weighing it down

This conditioner gave the ends of my hair some much needed TLC. After just one wash I noticed that the ends of my hair were noticeably softer with less breakage and tangling. After one week my hair looks fabulous and healthy. I would definitely recommend this conditioner to anybody who has straight to wavy semi- damaged hair who isn't looking to spend a fortune to try to repair it. However, if you have curly hair, I don't recommend this haircare system for you. I found that this haircare system leaves my wavy hair looking straighter instead of accentuating my natural wave.

The real star of the show is the serum oil. I used about two pea sized amounts on my long hair right about the time that my hair was nearly dry (I usually air dry my hair) and before using any heat in order to protect it and tame any fly aways. The oil left my hair feeling incredibly soft without weighing it down or leaving it feeling greasy. Definitely my favorite of the three products

I received these product for free to try, but opinions are all my own

Friday Budget Outfit Roundup!

We're mad about plaid right now and it shows! Great plaid styles are popping up everywhere and on everything from scarves to Diet Coke bottles and we aren't complaining! I found some great affordable styles for this week's Friday Budget Outfit Roundup and I'm excited to share them. One outfit is head to toe from Walmart, another from Target, and the third is for you to guess! Find out which is which after the jump!

Trendy Tuesday: Faux Fur Vest

I am all for the faux fur vest trend! Scratch that, I'm a fan of vests in general. They are a great way to add interest and glam to an outfit by layering. You can easily dress up a simple jeans and tee shirt look and look like you put plenty of effort into getting ready. Yay for lazy girl outfits! I think that deserves its own hashtag #lazygirlglam

Friday Budget Outfit Roundup

Every Friday I will bring you Budget friendly outfit picks. Each outfit will be comprised of items all from one big box store such as Target, Walmart, and Kmart which coincidentally are this weeks top picks (not coincidentally, I named them on purpose hehe)

Can you guess which is which?

Keep reading to see if you're right!

It's totally okay to wear one everyday right? Honesty, I wish I could! I have been loving mine to death and since they are still hot this year, I am on the market for another one. If you still haven't found the right one and that right price, then check out this list I made of my favorite ones all at a great, affordable price!

If you have a more boyish frame though, then a cinched waist would be perfect for you. It would give the illusion of a more defined waist. If you're like me and gain a few pounds during this time of year (warm coffee and donuts, darn you!) then a straight up and down vest could cover that right up. And if you want that look, but are in a colder climate or you want to carry this style in to the winter then I included a jacket version for you! Did I cover all my bases? Now go shop!

1. Maison Jules Drawstring Cargo Vest

2. American Rag Cargo Vest

3. Lucky Brand Military Vest

4. Double Zero Cinched Fur Vest

5. Bar Field Jacket

Budget Outfit Roundup

It's that time again!

Now that it is officially fall I can go crazy with the fall looks without feeling ahead of myself. It is still 90 degrees here in California after all, but I have Autumn on the brain.

This weeks looks come from Kmart, Old Navy, and Target, but look like they could have come from a higher end department store! Can you guess which is which?

Find out which look is from where after the jump!

Trendy Tuesdays- Fringe!

Fringe is in girls! I'll be honest, this is one trend that I had to slowly ease in to. At first, upon seeing fringe pop up in stores, I cringed a little. It can easily crossover into overly western Texan territory for my taste. BUT, as time has gone on, I've slowly began to accept it And (get this) even come to love it. To me, like most things, there is such a thing as too much of anything and that definitely applies to fringe so stay away from multiple fringe items in one outfit, that can go 1969 really quick. If you are looking for a way to add some trendy fringe to your fall wardrobe then my advice is to start small. Start with an accessory, like a necklace or some booties and then, as you get more comfortable, you can incorporate it into bigger items like a vest or jacket. Just remember, fringe is fun so don't overthink it.

One problem I've faced with adding fringe to my closet is that the best pieces can be so expensive! Since it is a trendy piece that won't stay in my closet forever, I am very cautious about spending too much. I've put together a list of some of my favorite fringe pieces that won't break the bank!

1. Betseyville Fringe Boot

2. Decree Fringe Suede Vest

3. Ava Fringe Crossbody Saddle Bag

4. Fringe Court Bib

5. Fringe Infinity Scarf

6. Plaid Poncho

7. Target Bucket Bag

8. Candies Fringe Heels

9.Showgirl Fringe Strand
