I ADORE the white on white (or winter whites) trend. Unfortunately since I have a 3.5 year old, it just isn’t realistic for my every day life. BUT, it does not stop me from purchasing white clothing ALL OF THE TIME. In fact, I just bought this white romper. But seriously, I would DIE to wear that outfit on the top left. PER-FEC-TION. Until then I am trying to decide how many more of these white pieces I can add to my closet?

Clockwise: ASOS Structured Wafffle Knit Dress, ZARA top w/ zip back, ZARA sleeveless tank (would have to find a way to layer it but I love it), Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac Crossbody Bag

Clockwise: Three Dots Structured Ponte Top & Knee Length Trumpet Skirt, ZARA Funnel Collar Short Jacket, ASOS High Waisted Texture Shorts

I will never agree that overcast skies make for better images. I may not be a professional photographer but after editing my own pictures for over three years, I STILL prefer flash & sunny skies ANY day. Creature of habit, I guess. We’ve had rather dreary weather lately so I’m looking forward to sunny skies (supposedly) for the rest of the week!

Outfit Details:
F21 Camel Coat (last year, similar)
Express Editor Pants
WHBM Lace Sweater (old)
Crossbody Bag c/o Wink & Winn
Shoemint Jane Booties

Something happens to me the night before a Target collaboration. I honestly had no intention of shopping this collection. I mean, I really did think the floral belted dress on the left was cute but wasn’t planning on staying up all night to purchase it. And then I made the mistake of getting on twitter. My peeps were luring me into the madness. I NEED THAT DRESS. No…no…I really don’t. Ok, I’m going to bed. And then my internal clock WOKE ME UP AT MIDNIGHT. I’m serious…I did not set an alarm. So of course I grabbed my phone to check to see if the collection was available yet. YES! And then like a maniac I grabbed my laptop, logged into my Target account, had my cart full using three different browsers and even downloaded the Target app on my phone trying to get THAT DRESS. I got an error message every time I tried to check out. Meanwhile everyone else was tweeting about all of their purchases. WHY DOES THE TARGET WEBSITE NEVER WORK FOR ME during the collaborations?!? So then I set my alarm for 7am and drove to a local store. I was 2nd in line (we were the only two) but the lady in front of me had a list a mile long for her daughter who also was blowing up her phone THE WHOLE TIME. As they opened the door, the lady and I darted for the new arrivals section. And NOTHING. They didn’t get a single piece at this store. What a rookie move!  So then I had the manager calling another store while I called a 3rd store. When I finally got to the 2nd store, I literally had the place to myself. They had EVERY SINGLE PIECE….EXCEPT MY DRESS!!! Arrrrgghhhhh!!!! Since I was already there, I decided to grab one of everything and try them on. I didn’t LOVE any of it but this dress (far left/below) was surprisingly flattering on…and even though it has a slight hi-low hem to it….I was very tempted. As I walked up to the register to pay, I put it back on the rack and decided to get a Starbucks coffee instead. And then I checked my Instagram feed….crap….more YAYS than NAYS. So say hello to my new not-the-dress-i-wanted below (left).

Then when I got home, I couldn’t help myself…I logged into eBay to see if the dress I originally wanted was available. And proceeded to bid up to $95.  I was outbid and I was relieved. And now I am bidding on another one.  Kinda hoping I get outbid again…I think.

I not-so-subtly asked my husband for this bag for Valentines Day…but now all I can think is that I could have had all FOUR of these for the same price! GASP! I want one in every color. Only $39.95 a piece…get yours here!!!

I was first introduced to Golden Tote a few months ago and since then, they have BLOWN UP. Like, big time. In January they offered a mystery tote for purchase and it sold out before the sale was even announced on their social media outlets. And then we crashed their site when the February tote was released. I was refreshing like a mad woman trying to get a glimpse of the new arrivals. I told you guys I LOVE grab bags surprises! Thankfully they’ve added more servers to handle the traffic and are even offering a $10 off coupon code (WELCOMEBACK10) for the month of February. Visit Golden Tote to learn more and grab your tote before they sell out!

*Please note: Offer good for the month of Feb & while supplies last.
