I’ve been wild about rompers all year and couldn’t wait for the weather to warm. This is the second romper I’ve purchased thus far and I fell in love with it all over again once it arrived. It fits great and I’ll probably wear it out tomorrow night for drinks. Sidebar: I seriously need to get a new digital camera so that I can start posting pictures in outfits. I ended up gifting the one I bought on Black Friday so I’m suck with my Nikon Coolpix that I absolutely hate.
The sleeveless romper has ruffles on the pintucked front, shoulders and has a button-front closure with a Mandarin collar. It has a sash belt and is 23″ long from shoulder to elastic waist with a 5″ inseam. I think it’s adorable. Be sure to comment and let me know what you think. Unfortunately, it’s no longer available for purchase.

Unless you’ve been under a rock, you know that I adore accessories to no end. I seriously buy at least one new item per week (hence the jewelry armoire issue I have). I love bold pieces, long necklaces and I love to mix and match textures. Today, I was in a Aztec mood. I paired Erica Lyons Turquoise Dome Ring that a purchased more than five years ago with Erica Lyons Turquoise Layered Necklace that I bought about two weeks ago. I found the Merona Silver Bangles in Target about two weeks ago as well.
I purchase a large potion of my jewelry from Belk as pieces are typically well crafted and last for years. They have seasonal clearance sales and mark the accessories down ridiculously low so I rack up throughout the year.

A few months ago, I completely fell in love with owl jewelry. I kept telling myself to buy a ring, but I never got around to it until a week or so ago. To my surprise, I’m not alone in my love for this, what some would call “odd” trend. My blogging friend, @Odara112 mentioned that she’d purchased one as well. I was totally jealous when she said she found it on clearance at Target. Excusssssssse me, but how did I miss that sale?! She doesn’t know if yet, but since I’ve been unable to find it at my neighborhood Target, she’ll be sending me hers. 
Ha! If she refuses to give me hers, I will be checking out Lulu‘s to find one similar.

I’ve recently taken a liking to discount retailers like TJ Maxx and Ross. I’ve found a few bags as of late for TJ Maxx and Ross is great for home/kitchen items. I purchased the Marc Ecko Charisma Rounded Hobo Friday evening. I actually entered the store with one thing in mind and came out with the bag instead…that seems to happen to me alot for whatever reason. As I didn’t know the style name, I Goodle’d Maro Ekco and to my surprise, I found the exact bag on Macy’s site – for $79.00. Learning that I saved $40 makes me happy!
The bag features a removable shoulder strap (I kept the strap on as I figured it added another element of interest) =, whipstitch and stud detailing; double E tag and two organization pockets. The color is actually closer to a tomato red than what the pictures illustrate.

The Music Life tee is what I planned to wear to the artist showcase. I picked it up for $16.99 from one of those stores like Rainbow or something when I’m looking for one-time wear items for a specific event. Stylista Sidebar: I typically frequent these types of stores once or twice a year, but I’ll never look down upon anyone who shops there. You can find cute things, but the key is to mix and match PIECES with nicer items in your wardrobe. Never…and I do mean NEVER dress head to toe from any place that limits the number of items (and counts them no less) before entering the fitting room.
