My Style Thursday | Spring 2015 Wishlist

via Polyvore 

I have not posted a My Style Thursday in foreverrrr! I'm itching to go spring shopping and these are some of the items I will be on the lookout for sure. As many of you probably already know my style is super simple and usually very casual. Since I will be rocking an ever growing baby bump this spring, I think it will be nice to have a couple of nice button downs I can wear open with a nice comfy tee under. As you notice, I don't have any specific plans for bottoms. Do I have to wear pants? LoL. I have not been a fan any pants. I can actually still fit into all my regular jeans for now, but I'm most comfortable with no pants, or if I have to wear pants I'm grabbing for pants with a stretchy waist. For those lingering cool days and nights, I'm on the hunt for a light weight, olive green parka. Lastly, I NEED a pair of white Converse in my life, and a girl can never have too many statement necklaces. Right? Tell me what you have on your spring wish list! I want to know!

Until Next Time,

My Style Thursday| Work From Home Uniform

Work From Home Uniform by Keia


I absolutely love working from home! Having the ability to dress extremely comfortable every day is just an added bonus. Now that I have worked from home for several weeks now, I think I have come up with the most suitable work from home "uniform" that works best for me.

When you work from home, only the top part of your body will be seen by anyone at any given time so it's important to look as presentable as possible from the waist up. For me, I like to wear a nice, basic tank top, a cardigan to pull the look together (and for warmth), and a simple necklace and stud earrings to accessorize.

The bottoms, I'm just about always wearing shorts or sweat pants of some sort. I really need to get the pair of sweats feature in my look to add to my collection!!

You will also always catch me with a cup of coffee, my planner, some cozy socks, and of course my laptop. For those of us who aren't fortunate enough to have 20/20 vision, I think a cute pair of eye glasses is only right too! I'm currently in need of a new pair of specs, and I would certainly love to have a pair of Ray Bans whenever I get around to ordering a pair!

Do any of you work from home? Do you love it as much as I do? Tell me what you think about my work from home "uniform."

Until Next Time,

My Style Thursday| Everyday Classic

"Everyday Classic" by Keia on Polyvore

If I could only wear one outfit everyday...this would be the look for me. You just can't go wrong with a white tee and a pair of nice classic jeans. I'm also a big fan of simple, classic jewelry for the most part. I would love to own the Michael Kors Pendant Necklace and watch featured in this collection one day. As for shoes, I almost always wear flats and I love a good cross body bag; however, every once in a while you might catch your girl in a pair of cute strappy sandals. I am sucker for some cheetah print so of course I think that clutch is mean!

What would you wear everyday if you could? I want to know!

Until next time,

New Gig. New Cubical. New Decor.

In my new position I will be working in cubicle land again, well I'm at least 85% sure I will be, based on what I gathered on my visits to the office for all THREE of my interviews. Anyway, I'm so excited for a fresh start. I just can't begin to describe my excitement to y'all! I'm just as excited to snazz up my new work space as well. The collection below includes the items I deem to be most essential for my cubicle area. 

Cubicle Decor by lakeia-gill featuring coffee mugs

What (I think) you need:

1 | A cute calender

2 | Some greenery (even if it's faux greenery)

3 | A coffee mug!!!! Can't live without my coffee.

4 | A pen holder 

5 | Some artwork Whatever suits your fancy in that department.

The day I got the job offer, I ran over to Target to hit up $1 bin for some new odds and ends for my new desk area!!! I couldn't help myself...I felt like a needed to treat myself! #dontjudgeme  LoL! Here's a snapshot of what I picked up:

How do you all decorate your office space? What do you consider the "essentials"? Let me know if you guys enjoy posts like this? What do you want to see next? Let me know!!!

Fall 2013 Wish List| Casual Fashion

 Fall 2013 Wish List

{1) Studded Military Jacket {2} Nine West Leopard Print Smoking Flats 
{3} Striped 'Tee' Sweatshirt {4} Navy Infinity Scarf {5) Cognac Cross Body Messenger Bag {6} Gold Charm Necklace

{1} Studded Military Jacket amazon.com 

I wouldn't call myself a fashionista at all, but from what I've seen apparently these military styled jackets are pretty trendy. I think this one at Amazon for $40 seems like a good buy. I could see myself getting a lot of wear out of it on the weekends.   

{2} Nine West Leopard Print Smoking Flats lordandtaylor.com 
I currently own a pair of these. They are the Target brand, and honey...I've gotten my $19.99 wear out of them. I would love to get my hands on this pair from Nine West. I would think I could get a little more wear out of them for the price.
{3} Old Navy Striped 'Tee' Sweatshirt oldnavy.gap.com 
This "sweatshirt" has my name written all over it. I am a sucker for stripes, and this is something I could easily wear on a Saturday morning errand run. I need this, possibly in multiple colors, in my life!  
{4} Mossimo Navy Infinity Scarf target.com 
I love me some scarves! I only own one actual infinity scarf though. The one I own is navy blue/cream striped, and it's made of a thicker, faux-wool material. I would love to have this lighter material, textured one from Target for the fall.      
{5} Vintage Leather Crossbody Messenger Bag etsy.com 
Again, when I am on the go over the weekends, cross body bags are so convenient. I have a pair of cognac brown boots I love wearing, and this cognac brown bag, that's easy to carry, would pair nicely with them. This bag in particular is a vintage, sold on Etsy. I don't have to have a vintage, but I'm not opposed to it either.   
{6} 14 Karat Gold Charm etsy.com 
Now this charm necklace I really, really want! If I don't get it for the fall season, it would make a great birthday gift. {Hint, hint.}  Honey, I hope you're reading this post ; ) This charm necklace would be perfect for everyday. I can see myself wearing it with a number of my work outfits. And of course I would want the initials L and R! <3

So there you have it. Some of the casual items I hope to purchase for this upcoming fall season. I didn't notice it when I created this board, but looking at the items I mentioned they could all be worn together, or each piece could be worn individually to create different looks. Let me know some of the things you plan to purchase for the fall. Maybe you can give me some more ideas! ; )

Until next time yall...
