Monday Blues
Monday blues are the worst. Today in VA it's not only a Monday, it is a rainy Monday. But the only thing making this Monday a little brighter are these cute finds from Target! I am such a fan of denim, and Target never disappoints with their denim selection. I recently purchased this denim off the shoulder dress and it's not only amazing, its also comfortable. I highly recommend it.
I also purchased denim shoes that wrap around the ankle. I am such a fan of ankle shoes, and these shoes make any outfit come together. They might be the most worn item in my closet this spring/summer.
Also, I got these adorable Baublebar Target earrings and they have been the best things EVER! I also believe blue earrings are the best statement to any outfit.
All items: TARGET
Stay beautiful

Winter or Spring? I'm not really sure!
Winter or Spring? I don't really know. I have found out over the years the "between seasons" are the hardest times to be fashionable. I know every morning I am running around trying to dress myself but always find myself asking the same question "is this okay for the season?" Truthfully, when the seasons are changing, I struggle with trying to figure out what to wear (and thats okay). I try and make my life easier with these 3 tips. And I hope it helps you too!
1. FIRST FIRST FIRST!!!! Look at the weather the night before to make sure the outfit you choose is appropriate for that day.
2. Plan ahead! I do this sometimes, but I am even guilty of not doing it. I try to have a little idea of what I am going to wear the next day, that way I am not in a rush in the morning. I also go on pinterest and look up a shirt or item I all ready have, and try to find the perfect outfit to go with that one item. (It helps a lot)
3. Always stay fashionable! I have always enjoyed dressing up my entire life, but the older I get the more I realize how important it is. Especially in my career as a designer. I know people wouldn't take me serious if I didn't dress up. I believe it makes a person feel more confident. I am a strong believer in "dressing up makes for a productive day."

DIY Marble Easter Eggs
Step 1. Fill plastic container 3/4 full with room temperature water. I used a 28 oz container.
*If the water is too cold the polish will sink. Add a few drops of nail polish. The more drops of polish, the darker and more covered the egg will get.
Step 2. Lightly stir with stick to make a marble look in water.
Step 3. Dip the egg under the water and swirl. Wear rubber gloves. I learned the hard way. I will spare you a picture of my fingers after dipping a dozen eggs in water/blue nail polish! You could also try using small tongs to remove eggs.
Step 4. Dry the eggs. We have chickens so we have plenty of extra egg cartons laying around.
You could use any color combo of nail polish. I love how the indigo turned out.

The 3 Easy-to-Grow-Herbs
Basil
With dozens of types to choose from, basil satisfies almost any palate. It's well-known as the main ingredient in pesto, but some varieties impart anise, lemon, mint, cinnamon, or clove flavors to foods. Selections that have purple foliage or attractive blooms are especially ornamental. Grow basil in full sun, tucking a few plants into flowerbeds or into container gardens.
Garlic
Garlic's pungent bulbs have long been used for flavoring food and in medicines. It's even been grown with roses, where it reportedly repels aphids. Garlic grows in full sun or part shade. Plant cloves of garlic in late summer, and mulch over winter to harvest the following summer.
Oregano
The main herb in pizza and spaghetti sauce brings good looks to gardens, too. Varieties vary in flavor; Greek oregano is one of the most intense. Oregano bears white or mauve flowers in late summer. Grow it in well-drained soil in full sun. It also works well in container gardens.
Happy Gardening

3 in 1 Scarf

Hey guys, I hope everyone has had a great Monday! I just want to share with you one of my favorite purchases EVER!!!!! This weekend one of my best friends and I took a road trip to Charlottesville to check out the new Madewell that opened in the shopping center area on Barracks Rd. I have always been a fan of any type of scarf, but I always get super hot in really thick scarves when I come indoors, so I thought I would try a thinner one. WOW WOW WOW I adore this little Madewell scarf. It was only $12.50 and you can wear it 3 different ways! The first way I enjoy using this scarf is on my tan purse. It gives my plain tan bag a little pop of color. The 2nd way I enjoy wearing this scarf is around my wrist. This is just a cute way to add a little pop of color to the outfit. Lastly, and my favorite way to use this scarf is around my neck. Since it is red I love to put it with denim. I love this little scarf and really wanted to share with you guys all the ways you can use it as a accessory. I would totally recommend this product.

Back to school
This back to school outfit is one of my favorites. I absolutely adore this mustard color H&M dress, which was also only $20. I am "that girl" who wears heels on a regular occasion, so when I shop for heels I try and find the most comfortable ones. These Lucky brand heels are perfect for school, work, and just a day out on the town. I can wear these all day and they don't hurt!!!!!!!!!! These heels aren't very high, but it still gives the outfit that classy look you strive for. Shop H&M for this exact look.
xoxo, Skyler
