The Affordable Audrey Sunglasses

/4 Comments/in , /by

Hello Everyone,


I hope you all had a great weekend. Ours was not too bad. We were able to go to the nursery and pick up some plants for our front yard and planters (we had social distancing in practice). I plan on doing planters this year. I can’t wait until it gets warm and this virus goes away.


I’ve been shopping online like crazy. Since all of my favorite stores are closed I have no choice. Well, at least that’s what I keep telling my husband.


In fact, in today’s post, I wanted to share one of those wonderful purchases.

These are the Tortoise Audrey Sunglasses at Tuckernuck. I saw them on this fellow blogger and had to take a peek. 
Did you click on the link? Did you see that price? 
They are stunning! I thought that they were going to be cheap but they are of great quality. Now they do not come with a sunglass case but I am sure most of us have extra ones around. 

They also come in pink and I am not sure how long that price is going to stay around. I hope you can pick up a pair to enjoy this spring and summer.

Have a great Monday all!

App Love: Like to Know It

/4 Comments/in , /by

Good Morning Everyone,

Still working from home. The governor of Indiana has issued a mandatory “stay at home” order. We can still go to the store, pharmacies, and essential jobs are considered exempt. We will see how things go for the rest of the week with this. 

Since everyone has to stay home at the moment it has given me the opportunity to explore new apps. I know there have been several times where I am on Instagram and a blogger posts something that I love and I click on it and it takes me to the app called LiketoKnowIt.


This always irritated me until recently. So I made the decision this past weekend to download this app and I must say I am hooked! 

This app gives you access to all of their home decor and clothes. My Amazon lists are full and for the most part, everything is affordable.


One person that I am following on the app is called My Texas House.

She has great taste and because I am following her on LiketoKnowit I get all of the links and information on all of her sources. 


Like that beautiful wall mirror in this photo is from Home Depot.

Or this gorgeous bench from Wayfair. Even though I like this one better for my bedroom.

Another item that I found was this very elegant flare dress on Amazon. I’m still thinking about ordering this.

This sophisticated and chic electronic organizer is something else that I found on LiketoKnowit. 

And I can’t forget to share these feminine flower earrings. 




I found so many gorgeous things on this app. 


And I could not resist ordering these Audrey tortoise sunglasses as well.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post. If you have seen this app before I would encourage you to download it. You will find lots of beautiful things!

Have a great day!

Clutches ~ Best Make-Up Bags?

/8 Comments/in , /by

Good Morning Everyone,


Sorry for the no-post on Monday. I have been really wanting to stay away for social media. There has been so much junk going around. My good friend texted me this past weekend and asked, “hey are you going to post a video”? Oh my, I completely forgot about my channel! I will try to get something posted this weekend.


This weekend I was dealing with my Roomba. I had to get “Alfred” on a cleaning schedule because my husband had control of him and he was not being used. So we transferred the app to my phone and now I have Alfred on a cleaning schedule. Yeppee!


In today’s post I wanted to talk about my favorite clutches. Now I use my clutches as makeup bags because my purses are like totes so I can get away with it.


This first one has been a favorite for about a couple of years. I purchased it from Ann Taylor about two years ago and I love the color and the velvet texture.

It looks great and has been a wonderful makeup bag for me. Below are all of my clutches that I use as makeup bags. 
I use all of them for different seasons. Most of them I purchased brand-new and the embroidered one I just purchased from Poshmark last week and I love it so far!

I use these during the winter and fall months. There is plenty of room and I love the textures and colors. The red velvet was purchased from Ann Taylor Factory and the pearl one was purchased from Banana Republic. 

These two I will probably carry through the spring and summer months. The pink one I purchased from Aldo and it comes with a chain.

But I got to tell you I do love my embroidered clutch from Poshmark.  

It has lots of room and pockets for special items. I am going to enjoy having this in my tote. 
It looks great and fits well. I hope you all enjoyed this post and that maybe it sparked a little interested in clutches for you. I know I love big bags and not everyone can carry one but if you have a work tote maybe this would be a good option for you. Enjoy your day!

A Little Magnolia

Good Morning Everyone,


It is so nice having a three-day weekend. It’s funny how you try to cram things in when you have that extra day. 


I keep visiting the grocery stores trying to get flowers on sale. No one has marked them down yet. No fun! In today’s post, I wanted to share this beautiful little mirror that I found at Draper James. 


Draper James is a lifestyle company started by actress Reese Witherspoon. It is a cute website and has lots of wonderful things. 


I particularly loved this beautiful compact mirror. I love pulling it out of my clutch and using it. It’s lovely.

It has such a vintage look to it. I love the magnolias, the clamshell shape mirror, and the gold trim. The price is wonderful too!
I am going to love using this beautiful, feminine item. I hope you all enjoyed this beautiful and affordable find. Have a great Monday!

A Toile Inspired Bracelet

/2 Comments/in , /by

Good Morning Everyone,


Well, I had my follow up with my podiatrist regarding my foot and everything is normal. I was really nervous about going because he mentioned a few things but it did not turn out that way for me. Thank you, Lord!

So I have a lot of errands to run this weekend and I am looking forward to changing my nail color. I have been wearing red since November so going back to pink or maybe french tip will be nice. 


I recently found a beautiful piece of jewelry.  

This is called the printed bangle from Talbots. It is quite lovely.
When I saw it I immediately thought, “toile”. It looks just like toile. Now it comes in two different colors, red pop, and juniper ivy. 
It is a very beautiful bracelet.
I hope that you all enjoyed this beautiful find. If you are interested it is on sale right now for $17.49! Hurry and order and enjoy your weekend!

Merry Christmas Gifts

/2 Comments/in , /by



Good Morning Everyone and Merry Christmas!


I hope you are all enjoying this holiday season with your families. I have been so busy the past few days but I wanted to take the time to wish all of my blog readers a very Merry Christmas and a big thank you!


Thank you for following my blog and for keeping in touch with me for all these years. Can you believe that I started this blog in 2014? I can’t! I am closing in on 1,000 posts! Wow…


This blog has opened a lot of doors for me. For one it has allowed me to find wonderful and beautiful friends. Some of my best friends have been found through blogging. I love it, thank you.


In today’s post, I wanted to share a few of my Christmas purchases for family. The photo above is of two scarfs that I picked up at H&M. They are for my husband’s uncles. 


This is a jeweled sweater that I picked up last year (December 2018) during H&M’s after Christmas sales. I purchased this for my father-in-law’s wife. After Christmas is the perfect time to purchase Christmas gifts for the following year. I only paid $10 for this!

I keep all of my Christmas gifts in a large tub in my guest bedroom. I just continue to shop throughout the year so it’s not a mad dash at the end to purchase gifts.


I love these beautiful gift tags that I found at T.J. Maxx.
I found this beautiful pink blush outfit with matching tights at T.J. Maxx for my husband’s cousin. She just had a baby last year. I thought the plush ballerina unicorn would be a nice touch. I only paid $12 for the outfit and only $8 for the unicorn. 



My husband’s grandmother loves soft large blankets. She’s almost 90 now and I wanted to keep that going. I found this last year for only $12. I hope she loves it!








Dinnerware can be a wonderful gift so I could not pass up these beautiful, large poinsettia plates from T.J. Maxx. I purchased them last year in December for only $4 each! I am giving them to my husband’s aunt. She is the first lady at her church. I figured that she might be able to use them there. 






My mother in law is always hard to buy for but this year we found this North Face vest for only $50 and this Michael Kors wallet for only $20! My mother in law is a bit of a fashionista. She pays attention to the trends and has very good taste.
I had to wrap her gift in my blue and white wrapping paper.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and thank you again for taking this journey with me. 

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Party Choices

/4 Comments/in , /by

Good Morning Everyone,


I hope you all had a great weekend. Did everyone finish their Christmas shopping? I did!!! I was finished in November. Glad that part is over. 


Now, this week is our office Open House and Christmas Luncheon. So I am trying to figure out what to wear. The weather is expected to change. We are getting snow… yay, and colder temperatures!


So below are a few items that I have put together…




I am thinking about wearing this for our office luncheon. I wanted something sparkly, chic and comfy. My crystal flower sweater looks great with my black skirt, vintage earrings, gold bracelet, and slingbacks. 

Next is our Open House and the outfit below is what I am thinking…
I just got this beautiful studded velvet kimono from Ann Taylor. Now in the photo online it looks pink but it is gray. I am pairing this with my gray Banana Republic dress, emerald green vintage earrings, hummingbird brooch, and slingbacks. 

Now throughout the week, I am considering the following…

For Monday, I am thinking of my pearl sweater from H&M, vintage clip earrings, gold bracelet, and red velvet slingbacks.

I will pair this with a black tulle skirt.  

On Tuesday, I am thinking about wearing my red boat-neck sweater from H&M, vintage poinsettia brooch, pink crystal earrings and crystal bow pink heels from Ann Taylor. 

I will pair this with a tulle skirt as well. I am looking forward to this week being over honestly. I know that sounds bad but sometimes the office functions can be hard. Some of our support staff can be pretty nasty and classless at these functions. Just not good spirits to be around. I try to stay away from them and volunteer as much as possible but honestly, it’s getting a little old. 

I hope you all have a great week and share a description of some of your office outfits below if you can!
