Scarlett Garnet Giveaway

I am so excited to be partnering with Scarlett Garnet Jewelry to bring you this lovely giveaway!  The journey of Scarlett Garnet began in 2006, when Katie Miller and Garnet Griebel decided to become a team. Katie lived in Charleston, SC while Garnet lived in Kansas City, MO, but the miles could never stop them from producing beautiful jewelry. They would communicate solely through emails and by phone. In 2007, Katie moved back to Saint Louis, which is when they first met in person. There is still some distance between these two creative geniuses but they still manage to make it work. Their story is amazing, and shows us that the sky is the limit. 

Scarlett Garnet jewelry is the perfect example of beautiful craftsmanship! Their pieces are so detailed and unique. They can be worn all year round, and go well with so many different outfits! I am absolutely in love with this Wood and Acrylic Chevron Necklace! This is a statement necklace that everyone needs in their jewelry box! I love the pop of color that the blue acrylic gives. The materials that it is paired with are perfect! I was also amazed by the beautiful packaging that their pieces are shipped in. Yet another gorgeous detail! 

Thanks to Scarlett Garnet, one of my lovely readers will win this gorgeous necklace!

Polka Dots, Pockets, and a Pop of Color

Outfit Details: Top- Forever 21 // Skirt- Theory // Tights- Target // Shoes- Nautralizer 

I'm sure you all have noticed my polka dot obsession. I wrote a post not too long ago about how I wanted to add different things to my closet, and maybe tone down my love for polka dots. I think that may be impossible though. Needless to say, polka dots are here to stay! I just can't stay away from them. I guess I can say that polka dots are my spirit print! 

I am a big fan of dresses and skirts with pockets. I think they not only look neat, but they also come in handy. I've had this skirt for a few years now, and I've always loved it. It's one of those timeless pieces that I'll probably never get rid of. I also like the fact that I can dress it up or down. I thought I would add a little pop of color to these neutrals I was wearing. Colored tights always do the trick.

On Sunday, I decided to dress up a bit for a date with the hubby. We had a great weekend. We got to watch a movie, eat some good food, and spend some quality time together. It was awesome.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Outfit Details: Dress- Forever 21 // Tights- Romwe // Shoes- Bait Footwear

So I didn't exactly walk on a yellow brick road, but I did go watch Oz the Great and Powerful yesterday. I absolutely loved it! I'm a big fan of the Oz movies and I also read and saw Wicked. So I was really anticipating this film! Everything about this film was amazing! The effects, costumes, actors, just everything! I'm also a big fan of James Franco. He was perfect for the role!

I geeked out big time by wearing all green. I can't help it. It's also a perfect excuse to bust out my Spring attire! I don't own a lot of green, but I'm glad I gave this color a chance. I am opening up to new colors this year. Speaking of Spring, today is daylight savings time. I have never been so excited to lose an hour of sleep! I am definitely looking forward to more sunlight.

New at Little Red Bowtique

Little Red Bowtique is now updated, loves! Here's what I have added so far. It had been so long since I listed anything new on my Storenvy shop so I'm pretty excited. I look forward to updating the shop more often! I will also be adding some vintage pieces in addition to these new pieces.

These are all things that I would wear, but I will be adding a lot more variety in the future. My favorite out of the bunch is the Collar a Lady dress! I am loving all of the pretty details on this dress! I am a big fan of anything with a Peter Pan collar and a bow. I also love the Spring has Spring necklace. It's so colorful and fitting for Spring! So what do you guys think? I would love to hear your feedback or requests!

Pass The Pastels

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6

I am so happy with all of the pastels I have been seeing everywhere these days. It can only mean one thing, Spring is near! With Spring coming, I feel like I am in need of a bit more of the pastel color palette in my closet.

Above are a few of the pastel pieces that have recently caught my eye. I am especially in love with those Bait Spectator T-strap heels! T-straps have always had a special place in my heart, but these are just plain amazing! Bait Footwear has a ton of gorgeous shoes that are perfect for the Spring. So many styles and pretty colors! Pink, mint, and lavender are definitely taking over this Spring.

I also wanted to give you all the news that I will be updating Little Red Bowtique (my Storenvy shop) very soon! Expect lots of pretty pastels and collars! I have been wanting to update my shop for the longest time, and I'm so excited to finally get the ball rolling. At the moment, I only have handmade hair accessories listed. I will let you guys as soon as the new listings are up!

Hearts, Stripes, and Everything Nice.

Outfit Details: Top (which is actually a dress)- Forever 21 // Skirt- Forever 21 // Shoes- J.Crew 

// Sunglasses- Tumbleweeds Handcraft // Purse- Thrifted

Hearts, stripes, bows, navy, and red are all on the list of my favorite things. Since I have no self control, I wear them all at the same time. Why not, right?! 

The colors I wore today remind me of the beach. Oh how I miss the beach! It has been quite a while since I've taken a trip to Santa Cruz or Monterrey, but today I dressed up like that was my destination. If you can't go to the beach, bring the beach to where you are. That was today's theory. I didn't get to enjoy any waves or sand in person, but I am definitely enjoying it in spirit. 

A Surplus of Sparkles

 Outfit Details: Dress- Double Zero // Top- Issi // Tights- Target // Shoes- Forever 21

Today I wore every black/gold/sparkly thing I could find in my closet. Last night I was on Pinterest for the first time in a long time, and I saw so many pretty shiny things! This is probably why I decided to go for this disco ball inspired look. 

Recently, I have been trying to bring some of my old stuff out, and make it new. So, today I wore this dress that my sister gave me on my 19th birthday. I think the last time I wore this dress was about a year ago, and it needed a little bit of T.L.C. I layered it with one of my favorite tops that I wear very frequently. The collar pretty much makes this top! I have so many things in my closet that I haven't worn in so long. It's amazing how many different looks you can get out of one piece of clothing!

So far this weekend has been so fun and relaxed! I started the day by getting a little bit of cleaning done around here. Then my hubby and I went out for lunch. We went for Italian food at Johnny Carino's. My fave! After stuffing our faces, we went to go walk it off and do a little bit of shopping. We then picked up some frozen yogurt, and called it a day. Life is good.

Hope your weekend is lovely!
