Wordy Wednesday: Perspective

J. Crew…J. Shmu!
Hi Friends,
Disclaimer: I totally got this idea from another blogger but I’m going share it with you as well because it’s just too good not to.
I’ll keep it short and sweet and let the numbers do the talking.
J. Crew Bubble necklace. Super adorable. Mucho expensive. $150.00
Pretty, right? I couldn’t agree more! And it comes in so many pretty colors:
Want the same necklace for 90% off?
I did.
Here she is:
I’m completely aware that my photography skills are horrendous. Promise, I’m working on it.
But you get the gist of it.
What do you think? Looks identical right? I’ve never actually seen the J. Crew one in person so I can’t compare the color but by their online picture, the J. Crew one looks more “neon yellow” and this looks more “sunshine Yellow”. At least to me.
I do love me some sunshine yellow though! It was so hard to decide which color to go with for the necklace but at these prices, I may go back for another one..or two.
If you’re like me, and you don’t care who makes it, as long as its pretty and affordable, then you have to get in on this! I paid $16 including shipping for this $150 necklace.
I told you I loved bargain shopping elevated to an art form!!
If you want to know where I bought it and how you can easily scoop one up for yourself, just let me know and I’ll be happy to get right back to you with the info!
Happy Bargain Shopping!
Cheers!

Wordy Wednesday: The Cure
So, I’m not one for long poetic quotes or the overload of inspirational sayings that bombard the internet on a daily basis. But every once in a while, a quote or saying or wording will come along that makes me stop and reflect, if only for brief moment.
I think its safe to say that depending on what is going on in our lives, a certain quote can appeal to us more than others. Sometimes it’s the inspiration we seek, the push we were looking for, the reminder we needed. Sometimes its just fun.
I’m going to use Wednesdays to share with you some words that inspire, motivate or catch my attention. Just once a week…I’m not trying to add to the overload.
What are your favorite quotes???
I couldn’t agree more. Having a problem you can’t solve or just a bad day?
Go for a run and sweat it out. Sit by the sea and take in her majesty.
Or just cry it out.
One is bound to aid in the cure.

Fabulous Finds Left Behind
Hi Friends!
I’m back with some Fabulous Finds Left Behind! As you remember from the last Fabulous Finds post, these are items I really like and take a snapshot of when I’m out and about. Although they may be fabulous, it isn’t the right time for me to buy them. Every once in a while though, I do go back for one!
Happy Virtual Window Shopping! Tell me what you would have put in YOUR shopping cart!
-
- That white desk would be so fabulous in my empty office room. Love the shiny-ness (Yea, I like to make up words. Anddd?)
-
- That little wine rack is such a great size.
-
- Those twin white chaise lounges would look so beautiful and sophisticated adorning the pool area. Yes, I need sophistication surrounding my pool.
-
- If you’ve been lucky enough to have visited Versailles, France then this picture has to seem as magnificent to you as it does to me.
-
- These two wing chairs hint at what they would be best used for…reading.
-
- This studded sofa is a stud indeed. I would have bought it on the spot if I could.
-
- I love this rustic buffet.
-
- It looks a little dark here but this sofa is a beautiful grayish color. Love the nautical pillows.
-
- Cute little sayings, especially about the beach, are alright with me.
-
- How cool is this ginormous candle? Two of these babies outside would look niiice.
-
- Ok ok..this isn’t a house item. But the girl who lives INSIDE the house needs a decent pair of shoes to wear. These would work.
-
- This white studded side chair is so beautiful and would be perfect for the dining room. Except its super white and not tall enough and super expensive. Sigh.
-
- I *cannot* think of a more perfect coffee table book.
-
- I just can’t help it…comfortable places to sit and do nothing by the pool just attract me at every turn.
-
- Isn’t this a dream back patio set up??
-
- Love this fancy drink table with its cute toppings.
-
- Such a beautiful welcome mat for the front door. My husband hates this rug material and yet ALL the cute ones seem to be made of this very same material. What gives? Anyone know?
-
- Exception: This isn’t a fabulous find. At least not for me. I know Chevron is all the rage and I agree with it for the most part but I just don’t like this rug. You’ll also notice this isn’t the same material as the previous rug…or as cute. Hmmmmm….
-
- Love these little round ottomans…they’ll fit anywhere. Love the bright yellow and white color. Definitely on the “might go back for” list.
-
- LOVE this shadow box for making a collage…especially of a vacation!
What do you think of the selection? Anything you would have definitely taken? Leave me a comment and let me know!
If you’re interested in a certain piece, just tell me and I’ll be happy to let you know where it’s from and how much it costs.
Happy Shopping!
Cheers!

Weekend Recap: Soaking up the Sun, Full Moon and Nachos
Hi Blog Friends! How was everyone’s weekend? Is it getting hot where you live? It’s getting hot here…really hot. And rainy. Summer= rainy season in South Florida. How about where you are??
Well I hope to pick up my blogging a little bit, so if you’re out there, holla at your girl!
Here’s a little weekend Recap!
This weekend’s Top 5:
1. Food, Friends and Basketball: Friday night we got together with friends to have some drinks, eat some food and watch the Heat vs. Celtics game. Sadly, the Heat lost and the food was crap…but the beer was cold, the company was good and the Tvs were big so all was ok in the world.
2. Mini Getaway: My Mister and I took a little getaway to the Florida Keys. The weather was cloudy Saturday forcing us (allowing us?) to just hang out inside and soak in the AC. Too bad we realized this AFTER I had drenched my body in sunscreen. #super
Clouds and Wind..not a good combo
Sunday we were able to go out and went fishing…or he fished while I lounged on the boat and tried to soak up the sun.
My ninja getting ready to dive…
Hello little fishies!
I’m thinking about buying this house…
It would ONLY be appropriate to get a boat for the house…this one will do.
Till next time, Paradise.
2. Tuna Nachos: Saturday night, we ventured to a local spot that sells the most amazing Tuna Nachos. You can get there by car or boat! How can a food alone get a spot on the top 5 list? Because they are perfection..that’s why.
How amazeballs does that look?!
YUMMO
Restaurant decor
A view from the docks..
4. Full Moon Beach Party: After dinner on Saturday, we headed to the famous Morada Bay Full Moon Beach party. This only happens a few times a year and we were lucky it was going on this weekend. Remember Saturday’s wind that didn’t let us go fishing? Well it worked out beautifully at night as there was a light breeze and a very random mosquito-free night in June.
If you ever get a chance, try to attend one of these Full Moon parties. Bring a blanket like we did and just lay out and listen to the bands playing and watch the performers. Or you can get your drink on and party it up since the music keeps going until about 2 am. Sadly, I don’t have better pictures. My damn iPhone doesn’t work at night it seems.
Party going on…
5. Game of Thrones- The Game of Thrones season 2 finale was on Sunday night! You guys..are you watching this show? Isn’t it so good? The finale didn’t wrap up as many loose ends as I would have liked (it’s like LOST all over again) but I guess that’s what we have season 3 for. Till then, Westeros! I will miss you! Especially you, Robb Stark.
How was your weekend?? Anything super fun?! Did you soak up any sun (or nachos)? It’s so easy to leave a comment! I’d love to hear about it!
Here’s what’s coming up this week:
