Sunday funday




Sunday Funday



Sunday is always my funday, just like the song Manic Monday. Love that song lol. Wanted to share quickly a couple pics from my Sunday. I am really behind on blog posts. I want to first apologize to Wendy from one of my favorite eBay shops. She sent me some amazing new Aztec scarves they got in for fall and some other awesome fall accessories that I have yet to post, and my friend Pam sent me over the poncho, scarf that can worn as a shawl also, some cute boot socks and a great necklace which I have featured a few of the items on my ootd posts but really want to get posts up for both shops and do some styled pics of the lovely items by Nita. I have had a lot on my plate with work and have my cruise coming up. I really like to be able to take my time to sit down and post about these amazing shops especially the ones I have such a great connection with the owners or reps. I have had really met some amazing people this year through my blog and I love to take the time to high light their shops and products. I promise if I don't get the posts together before my cruise I will be sure to have them done as soon as I get back. I have an entire rolling rack of cute new fall trends, from jeans, sweaters, leggings, skirts, dresses, button down tops, flannels, lots of scarves, socks, boots cuffs and stunning jewelry. Then shoes forget it. I have three amazing pairs of booties from JCrew's new fall collection, some Maurice's boots, Buckle boots, and some eBay find look alike boots for some of the hottest trends for my bargain shopping divas. I am excited to say with my new position at work after Dec I will be working from home which will allow me more time to work on my blog. I am going to use my real camera and tripod to take photos along with using other people to model some of the fashions not just myself always and not always selfie style pics. I really want to take my blog to the next level this new year and hoping to purchase my own domain soon. This has always been a hobby and for fun but with all the amazing opportunities that have started to come my way I really want to be able to represent brands, designers and companies on a professional platform. 

For now here are my photos I wanted to share from the weekend. Enjoy and I really hope everyone has a great week. I have started my cruise packing and have a busy couple days with a doctor appointment tomorrow before I leave for a week need to see my specialist. Then I am volunteering at my little one's school since I am room mom and will miss the fall party, luckily I return on Halloween so I won't miss trick or treat and then I plan to take them to the pumpkin patch and hayride this Friday since there is no school and Thursday they have a half a day, got a pedicure and nail appointment after I drop them then we plan to do a haunted house event they have north of us with a carnival for my younger daughter so she isn't left out that evening. A lot to cram in a few days but I want to make sure I fit in all the fall memories I usually do before I leave. Feeling a little guilty leaving them for a week but this is the first time since my younger was born I have left on a girls trip without the kids or my hubby. We always travel together. I am sure I will be home sick but I need the relaxation and me time for sure. 

Have a great weekend and will have lots of photos when I return from my cruise. Xoxo. 


Jesus loves this hot mess, graphic tee by Bestillclothingco. Love this brand and have a few tee shirts I ordered last year from them and plan to order a couple new ones soon. My necklace is a triple layer faux stone and feather, brown agate and opalite necklace from Forever21. My youngest daughter picked it out for me and I love it. 




Last year for Christmas my mom got me a silver Alex and Ani Buddha for Christmas which led to my collection of their amazing charm and wrap bracelets. I have a few gold ones but mostly silver. Sunday I wore my love charm from hubby and the heart is one of their beaded wrap bracelets my mom got me for my birthday. I paired them with a collection of older string bracelets I had from Kohls by Lauren Conrad LC. Love how this photo came out. I have been documenting my arm candy and wrist parties for some time now, I love jewelry and always say it's the icing on the cake or the cherry on top. It always makes any outfit look put together. I feel naked without some jewelry. Usually I always have my wedding ring and band, my kids ring with their names on my other ring finger and I wear my grandmother's diamond pendant she gave me before she passed away. Some days I take my necklace off to wear something else and may be in a rush forgetting to add something before I walk out the door. I have really fallen in love with the long 30" necklaces I have by Adam Rabbit you can throw on over your head no clasp needed or my Lacey Ryan triple layer necklaces that are all together that I can throw on one necklace but looks like I took the time to layer a few. Her line is amazing and Adam Rabbit has some awesome pieces also. I love Etsy its up there with eBay for me and my hubby is getting me into Amazon recently. 

I also love Fawninginlove she makes some really incredible jewelry and so high end for an amazing price you can find all these designers links in my favorite shops in the side bar, as well as the tee shirt company. 

Hope you enjoy my Sunday look of the day. Xoxo. Ty again to everyone for your support and kindness. It means so much to me. ✌️❤️

Another way to wear your sand cloud towel...

Sand Cloud Bohemian Towel
Used as a blanket scarf, and shawl

Use my code Wanderlust 25 for 25% off 
Always free shipping and 10% of proceeds donated to protecting marine life.








Today I am working on styling and shooting some fall looks for a post for my blog before I leave for a week to the islands. While styling outfits my sand cloud towel was laid out for a blanket for one of my poses when I thought wow that would look nice as a scarf or wrapped around and styled with a belt like my blanket scarf. Check it out. Now this was thrown together last minute with some pieces I was wearing for another look, I his quickly changed up my necklace and belt but I love how it looks. Hope you like it also. Keep in mind they have some other colors that would look awesome for fall and winter. I have the bohemian towel in blue, azure. Picture gray, red or even orange (coral)! Fabulous and so excited I thought of this because I have been wearing my towel as a wrap, shawl, skirt or sarong at the beach all summer now I can keep them in my closet for fall and winter. Hope you enjoy this look and would love to hear your thoughts. 






Love the Sand Cloud Bohemian towel with fringe bottom wrapped around my shoulders and tied at the front with a thin belt around my waist.  Has the same look at the trendy blanket scarves but now you have some cool new colors, patterns and textures for fall.





I decided to pair it with my 3/4 sleeve white top, and Silver distracted jeans.  I added some brown tall boots from Target and a brown leather wrist cuff.  My necklace is a large white stone necklace on a silver serpentine chain by Lacey Ryan.  You can find some of her pieces at Maurices.com and then you can visit her website below.  







Love the idea as wearing it as a scarf, but was really loving using it as a blanket scarf, shawl look.  I had so many ideas pop into my head but mostly wanted to get photos of it and try it out quickly while the idea was fresh in my head.  I get accused a lot of having no ideas of my own and of always copying, one person in particular which couldn't be farther from the truth.  I always say at the end of the day it isn't about who had it first or wore it first, it's about wearing what you love and being true to yourself.  You are always going to have haters who accuse you and want to make you look bad for their own benefit but you have to just let it roll off your back and do your thing. I know at the end of the day what I had and what I wore, why I got it and that it is and always has been because I loved it, it was my style and anything else is just a coincidence or someone else copying, not me.




I really am excited with how the looks turned out and I am going to use a few more of the towels I have to style more looks for the fall.  I only have the blue bohemian towel, then I have a coral pillow towel, aqua or sea foam zipper towel and the wanderlust tie dye towel which is the next one I am going to style with a long maxi skirt and ankle boots for a festival look for fall.







You can find my jeans along with many other great quality denim pieces at the link below.  I am an ambassador for Silver Jeans Co but even before becoming an ambassador I have worn and preferred their jeans for over ten years.  That is why it was such an honor to be asked to become an ambassador for their brand because they have always been my favorite designer of jeans and denim.







I absolutely adore the blanket scarf look with a thin belt, I like thicker belts also and sashes that match the pattern or colors of the scarf.  These look great with jeans, leggings and long maxi skirts or fitted pencil skirts that are mid length.  I really started to love this trend last year in fall and winter but since it doesn't get very cold here didn't really get to wear them till our spring break trip to the mountains and than once wearing them I really loved the look.













You don't have to cover your entire shirt or outfit you can play around with the scarf making it thinner, or adding a collared look, maybe folding it in half for a more fitted vest look, that is why I love this look because there are so many styling options.  Another reason why I love the Sand Cloud towels because there are so many options for using these other than just as a towel.  I love multi use items that you can style and use so many different ways, you really get a lot for your money then.








Make sure to head over to Sand Cloud Apparel and check out all the color options, patterns, and options now that you have this idea in your mind.  Be sure to use my code Wanderlust25 to save 25% off your order and let me know what you think of my look.  I would love to hear from others about what you think of my Sand Cloud towel fashion styling ideas.  I actually thought of a couple other ideas while typing this post and going to work on those styles hopefully I will have some photos to add soon.  Below are a few options I think would look great styled this way.  Have a great weekend xoxo



The Bohemian collection, I love the red or gray for fall tones.

Raz Pocket Towel

The pocket collection towels loving the Razz color for fall.



beach towels

Above is the pillow towels, but pillow is removable and loving the pattern of this gray towel.  It's also available in other colors.  I own the coral color.  Looking for some colors to go with our fall and winter wardrobes.  The options are endless...

Ootd Oct 10-17 posts...


My OOTD posts for Oct 10-17

Florida State University Gear




Love my FSU headband I got at the campus store when we visited Tallahassee in the summer time.



I have been a Florida State college football fan since I was a little girl so I have tons of tees, tanks, long sleeve shirts, sweat pants, yoga pants and apparel.  This tank I ordered right after they won the title not last year but the year before.  I was so excited I ordered a ton of new gear.



Girl Strong tee from Shabby Apple.  My feather rhinestone charm my hubby found on eBay.  The ripped denim shorts are from Fashion Junkee.  Links below.


Not sure the tee is still available couldn't find it on the site but did see some other cute similar tees.




My Pink Agate slice necklace is from Adam Rabbit Jewelry you can find the link to her shop in my side bar under favorite shops and prior posts with other pieces I own from the AR collection.

Loki bracelets are from: Lokai
The pink is limited edition for October for breast cancer awareness month and $1 of proceeds goes to Susan G. Komen.






The above flat lay outfit has my new flare jeans from Silver jeans and a feather pom pom trim kimono with Jessica Simpson wedges.  The wedges are a few years old but I can provide links for the jeans and kimono.







 Tee is from Tillys.com and was from the Lindsay Perry line paired with the Suki Flare jeans.  I have the link for the jeans above.  Also the crystal necklace I got at Tillys.com as well.  




Wearing my new FP look alike boots for some added height, I like height or heels with flare jeans I don't care to wear a flare or bootcut with flats, skinny jeans look best with flats or sneakers.  My ring is a bison hand made ring from one of my favorite Etsy Jewelry shops Fawning In Love.  She makes the most stunning and original jewelry.  She is a kind soul and her wrapping is so amazing you don't even want to open the package lol.  I will add a link to her shop below and should be in my favorite shops in side bar for sure.

Paired this great graphic tank with my favorite gray jeans from Loft and then this great positive message wrap bracelet I got from Buckle.com by Good Work(s).  I love to read it when I am feeling stressed or down.  Has all kinds of great positive messages and words.  




The leather cuff came from my friend Pam at Ehlers Store on eBay, link is in my profile and in prior posts.  It says "There's an angel watching over you" and every time I look at it I think of Pam and of my father who is in heaven looking down over me like my own personal guardian angel.

Fall fashion finds

Wanted to quickly share some hot items I got today shopping. I will add more details and photos this week since it's late. Poor lighting for photos so using photos from H&M website to show the cute pieces I found. After shopping for fun on polyvore went to cash in and use my left over store credit from a return. 


Got all items above as pictured. The vest I love, for a few years the fake or faux fur vests have been all the rage but I am not a fan of fur. Last year I got a shearling or sherpa lined jacket and almost got a cream vest because I love how it looks layered, vests are good for South Florida layering also. Any how I found this fringe cream vest and it's so me. I love fringe already have a few fringe sweaters and many fringe skirts, bags and dresses also kimonos and cardigans. This is fabulous. I love a great fitted skirt or pencil skirt and this one above is stunning on.  The suede skirt was a must I am obsessed with front button down skirts they have that 70's vintage feel. I have a couple from Forever21 I have outworn needed some colors. Was happy to find this perfect camel brown to match my ankle boots and a burgundy one. Then the asymmetrical skirt I tried on a shorter version but loved this knee length one it looks amazing on and the price was great. 


The denim skirt is a lot like my Forever 21 skirt but doesn't have the V cut waist line which I love. It's a great fit and will make it easier for me since I have been wearing that mid length skirt a lot lately lol. The gray cotton asymmetrical wrap style skirt I actually got in black to go with a black and white striped top I have. Then got the fringe skirt on clearance only because it was a great price, I love fringe and have an event to wear it to along with thinking it would be fun on my cruise for an evening outfit. The navy skirt I actually got in a burgundy rust tone. It's not really red but not orange almost a brick rust tone. Wanted some colored button down the front skirts to add to my collection. 

Then this was waiting on my porch when I got home, my boss was so kind to order me this reversible Madewell Tote. It's a gorgeous brown leather on outside and black with white Aztec style print inside that you can reverse. Brilliant isn't it? Love it thank you boss lady. Xoxo 


Also got a dress, a long cardigan, two blanket scarves one solid and one plaid, two belts, some ankle boots, jewelry and another pair of flare jeans. Excited to share. Off to bed busy day tomorrow and getting really excited for my cruise. Will post more photos of my items as I wear them. Be sure to check out H&M you're going to love the cute fall items for sure. Xoxo ✌️❤️
