Raise A Glass

Published on June 9, 2020June 9, 2020 by blonde rosie1 Comment

There are a few things I love more than hosting a party even if it’s just a small gathering with friends. Even though we can’t get together now that doesn’t stop me from putting together a fun drink setup! We have been spending a lot of time in the backyard whenever we can so I thought it would be nice to bring out some sweet tea for us to enjoy in pretty glasses last week. Instead of waiting for quarantine to end to use my fun outdoor decor, I thought we should celebrate whenever we want no matter the occasion! These faux seagrass wrapped glasses are perfect for everyday and special occasions!

I’m also so excited to share that these glasses and pitchers were a dollar spot find from Target! On one of my rare trips to Target to get a few food essentials, I gasped when I saw these cute cups! They are a really good dupe for the popular Serena and Lily seagrass wrapped glasses, and pitcher, too for a much smaller price.

I love how our backyard is coming together! I used old pillows from Target to add some color. The vase and faux hydrangeas are a recent purchase that I borrowed from our dining room. With all of this time at home, I’m working on making our home a happy place and welcoming. Even if it’s just enjoying a glass of sweet tea in the backyard enjoying the sunshine and our pretty garden!

Dining Room Refresh

Published on May 26, 2020May 26, 2020 by blonde rosie1 Comment

The last few weeks our dining room has turned into my office so it’s often cluttered with my laptop, papers, notebook and planner. Now that it looks like we will be staying home for the summer I thought a little dining room refresh was needed! I wanted something simple and budget friendly so I focused on a new table centerpiece. Growing up my family had giant white hydrangea bushes in the front yard so we would have vases all over the house filled with hydrangeas. I was starting to get a little homesick and then Pop of Pippi inspired me to get a new vase and fill it with faux white hydrangeas. I love how this easy arrangement brightens up the space for summer! It’s also super easy to push to the side to work and then setup again when I’m done working. It’s quickly turned into my new favorite room in the house!

SHOP THE ROOM

Who knew Target had such cute clothes?

I like to take advantage of Target’s free shipping and the endless options the store has to offer. While browsing for some essentials, I started to look at the new fall collection that was just released. And oh my goodness – who knew Target had such cute clothes???

I immediately scooped up this houndstooth tie front top because it looks so expensive but it’s priced for Target. The joke is that if something has a bow, I need to have it so this top easily became one of my new faves. This top is something I wouldn’t normally wear, but the bow kinda sealed the deal. It’s work friendly paired with a black skirt and screams fall with jeans and brown riding boots.

This blazer is worn on repeat because it is so easy to throw on with any outfit to dress it up. I wore it with jeans one day and then the next week I wore with black pants and a sweater tank for a partner meeting. I’m wearing a size 2 and it’s still fitted. Also, the price is even more amazing! My loafers are new and I’m not sure how I ever lived without them! They have quickly turned into my most worn shoe because they are comfy and go with everything.

This skirt is not something I usually wear but I immediately fell in love with the pattern! It’s been easy to wear to work with a simple black long sleeve top or colored tops that match.

These pants are surprisingly stretchy and are really comfortable. I’m wearing a size two and are the perfect fit. The poncho is a bit large, but it is a one size fits all so that is the look. It’s nice for work because it’s it’s long in the back so I can get away with a legging that looks like pants and it covers the booty!

I thought I was done shopping until I found these pajamas and was so excited to see that my fave pajamas are in a new pattern! As long as Target keeps making these pajamas, I plan on buying them in every color 🙂

Casual Blazer Look

I wanted to share that Target is having a sale making this blazer 20% off. I recently purchased a bunch of items from Target that are amazing for fall that I cannot wait to share! This blazer can help transition your wardrobe into fall even though the temperatures outside do not feel like it! I wore it to work last week and it was light enough that I wasn’t sweating but kept me warm during the chillier morning temperatures.

This blazer has been sitting in my closet for a week and the weather is finally cooperating so I can wear it. Blazers aren’t usually something I wear to work but when I saw this blazer online and then I saw the price, I immediately hit the “add to cart” button! It’s easy to throw on with jeans to dress up a look or wear with a traditional office look. Blazers are an easy way to polish an outfit – especially when you wake up late and need to get ready in a hurry 😉

I also have to mention my shirt because it’s a recent purchase. My dryer recently destroyed the only white short sleeve sweater shirt that I had so I had to get another sweater tee. I’m already in love with it because I don’t need to wear a cami underneath and that alone makes it a favorite! My jeans are a recent purchase from Old Navy while I was looking for jeans that were a better fit. I’ve worn them a few times and I’m really impressed with the fit and how comfy they are! This look will be on repeat on those days I want to be comfortable but have to look nice for work.

One of my weaknesses in life is buying pajamas and if they are soft and cozy, there is no self-control. This week, I was looking online at new pajamas to order and thought I would share a few of them on the blog. I purchased the pink lemon long sleeve set earlier this summer and has been on repeat for months. Somehow all of these other pajamas ended up in my online shopping cart and I am waiting for my next payday to hit the checkout button ha! The lemons are just too cute and they are all so soft!

There is just something about getting into bed after a warm shower, with fresh sheets and cozy pajamas! They are something that only I see, but I am in such a better mood when I go to bed in matching pajamas. IDK- maybe this is my Type A personality coming out! For those end of summer and early fall chilly days, I suggest getting some new pajamas to keep you cozy and warm!

Patriotic Swimwear!

It’s that time again! Bring the patriotic spirit with you to the beach with an American Flag bathing suit! I bought mine last year at Target and they are back this summer. The Fourth of July calls for red, white & blue swimwear.

I have a red and white striped one piece bathing suit I wear every Fourth of July and last summer I wore blue scalloped shorts to take it from the beach to the bar! With the right accessories you can get more out of your patriotic bathing suit than just wearing it to the beach. Try wearing it as a crop top with high wasted shorts or invest in a one piece like I did that can be turned into a bodysuit.

Some of my favorite patriotic bathing suits from Target are here, here and here!

Happy 4th, everyone!
