Fun and Feisty Colorblock...

Hello and Happy Thursday my loves. 

I hope everyone is off to a great start. We are one day closer to the weekend and boy am I excited. I will be participating in the Yours/Mine Secondhand Shopping Soiree (YMSSS) event this Saturday, August 4 on the rooftop of a very posh lounge located in the heart of  Washington, DC. If you're in the area you should definitely check it out. View more details about the event here. 

In my last post, I discussed polka dots and just how lovely they are. I figured that it would only be right if I styled some of my own in today's outfit post. 

I'm a huge fan of bold colors so this particular combination made me feel all types of bright and cheery. My favorite part has to be the shoes-it's amazing just how many ways these highlighter yellow Prabal Gurung sandals are able to be styled without seeming out of place. 

The only negative thing I have to disclose about these sandals (to those of you who have purchased them and have yet to wear them) is what everyone else has been saying-the ankle straps are madly possessed!! They obviously do what they want-the little fastener part will not stay closed over long or even short periods of time. This major mishap has therefore left me literally walking out of my heels in the middle of my church parking lot. 

Talk about EMBARRASSING!!! 

Oh, the things we endure for the sake of beauty!!

Nevertheless, they still complimented my clearance rack polka dots very well. The pink skirt was also a very classic must have that I scored from one of  NY and Co's crazy sales.

This outfit gives me a totally different outlook on colorblocking-it doesn't have to be boring and plain. Instead, I prefer fun and feisty!!!

What are your favorite shades to colorblock?

I can't wait to hear from you!

Thanks so much for reading.

Pretty Little Chevron...

Happy Wednesday my loves!!

I hope everyone is off to a great start. 

Today is pretty bittersweet for me because my bestie is leaving to return home. She's only able to visit once a year so we've been taking full advantage of our short time together. Just in case you weren't able to see the fun we had last time she was here, I will be sure to do a recap in the upcoming days so you can see what a beauty she is.

While she was here, we did  manage to get some outfit pics in....

I'm all about some pretty little chevron.....

Put the print on a cute, ruffled shoulder romper and I'm head over heels in love!

That is...until I'm buckling at the knees because I have to use the bathroom and I can't get the danggone romper down fast enough!! LOL

I scored this cute one piece last season from TJ Maxx. I rarely ever shop there because I don't really find tons of great deals there but on this particular trip I hit the jackpot-BIG TIME! It was so lonely on the clearance rack so for 7 bucks I figured that I would give it a permanent home in my closet.

Adding these highlighter yellow Prabal Gurung sandals gave the 'fit just the right amount of 'snap' without going too over the top. 

Needless to say, I really dig the navy blue and bright yellow together.

What do you ladies think?

What's your favorite color to pair with navy blue?

I can't wait to hear from you.

Thanks for reading.

Friday Favorites: Vol #30

Hellooooooo and Happy Friday my loves.

I know I haven't been here in over a week but I really just wanted to take some time off to enjoy my   Spring Break without the stress of remembering to post and whatnot.

Had I planned my break correctly I would've had some guest bloggers or even scheduled my posts ahead of time. But....I'm human and obviously not that well organized so here I am-somewhat refreshed and renewed.

And here are my Friday Favorites!

I've been coveting this whole ear cuff trend since it first surfaced so in my true 'thrifty and shameless' fashion, I was able to find them in The Icing on a $2 accessory rack. I absolutely love this store and most times it's the only store I will purchase accessories from-especially when they have their $2 specials.

FREE paint samples from Ace Hardware. They offer these freebies a couple of times a year and each time I'm the first in line. I've been able to acquire 4 quarts to date-that's enough to get started on the DIY Chevron accent wall that I've been dying to complete since I moved into my home.

The Prabal Gurung line that all the fashionistas went crazy over when it made its debut at Target in February. Well, it's finally being clearanced. Annnd, there's still a ton of items left. I'm patiently waiting for the items to go to 70% off.

I did purchase these babies at 50% off though. I absolutely had to have these. I have so many great styling ideas for them.

Celebrating my big sister's birthday in style. I love this woman so much. She's so smart, beautiful, and hilarious too!

I took a mini roadtrip with my family a couple of days ago and this is the plate that I was presented for lunch. Note that I said 'for lunch'. I believe the name of the eatery was Mayflower. All of this for only 9 bucks. I'm sure this can't be healthy but it was soooo delish!! 

While visiting the mall during our roadtrip, I decided to visit Sephora to take advantage of the FREE $5 giftcard that I was given for being a user of the Wrapp app. 

Wrapp is a fun and easy way to give free and paid gift cards to your Facebook friends. Download Wrapp's smartphone app or visit www.wrapp.com to start giving!

This month's magazine swag. 

I was asked by my friends over at Crowdtap to hunt for the new DOT by Marc Jacobs fragrance bottle while I was on my roadtrip. I love the packaging of this bottle-the presentation alone entices me to pull out my wallet and buy!

The search for the above fragrance inspired me to rock dots during my roadtrip.

Last but not least, I've added new items to my shop, Miss Rockwells Racks. You can visit here or you can visit and follow my shop on Instagram to get first dibs on all the new items that are added.

That's it for today. What were some of you favorite things this week?

I can't wait to hear from you!

Thanks so much for being faithful readers-even when I take a week off without notice! You guys are more than amazing!!

XOXOXOXOXO
