Happy August awesome people!! We are back from a fabulous weekend in Chicago.
Now, let's talk how excited I was to come home on a yucky Wednesday from work and see a sweet lil package waiting from me from the magnificent Shaunacey and immediately the stress of the day was washed away and I was like a giddy little girl on Christmas morn. I even tried my goodness on right there in the kitchen and took a selfie!
How can someone who I have not meet in person yet, know me so well with a top and necklace I would so buy and the most delicious coffee chocolate crunch candy balls that I will be stocking up on when I go to Toronto!!
Now, let me tell ya why Shaunacey is so special to me. She is the reason I was welcomed into the blended blog, she was one of the first blogs I read when I started blogging, her heart is made of gold I swear and she is beautiful beyond belief!!
I was tickled to style my new Joe Fresh top and necklace with some dark skinnies, an orange clutch and leopard pumps...perfect date night outfit. Throw on a cardigan or blazer for the Fall or cool night and I know this light and airy top with the tassels is going to be a closet favorite!! Thank you my sweet sista! You'll get your Hug in May!!!!
Love how cool and breezy it is. Perfect for the Dog Days of Summer
How fun! Shaunacy is so sweet and one of my favorites! I love the top and necklace she picked for you and those coffee crisps sound yummy!

She picked the perfect white top for you! I'll confess that I first thought the candy said b... also. Maybe it's subliminal messaging. :)

How cute and super fun to come home to a nice treat like that! The year long maternity leave has me super jealous, but it would be SOOOOOO hard to go back after being out that long. I just had a week home with Jax when his daycare was close and even that little break makes Monday feel extra Mondayish this week. Oh well, such is life! I hope you had a great time in the big city and I hope your Monday is treating you nice!
ReplyDeleteWow, Shaunacey did awesome! You look beautiful in that top and chocolate is the perfect gift!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet and fun idea! Shaunacey is a cutie like you, and I LOVE the top you have picked for her!!! You seriously beautiful inside and out!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, love!
