Tuesday Shoes-Day

I dont know about you guys, but I'm happy for the mid week holiday tomorrow! No parades or fireworks for me though - I'll be hitting a few sales, but otherwise just hanging out at home

The shoes I'm showing off today I actually bought this morning (above). I like nothing more than a comfy pair of slip on sneakers for casual days lounging around the house or when I'll be doing a lot of walking. I prefer the all black myself, but the white pair below are perfect for summer too, and would go great with a loose top and a pair of cutoff shorts, or even a sundress. 

What's your favorite?

I'm obsessed

For this Summer I am officially obsessed with sheer tops and patterned pants. I can't seem to get enough! Luckily H&M keeps me satisfied and styled well. They can do no wrong!

The bonus of sheer tops is quite simple, they keep you cool on days when it is 94 degrees outside!Thank you fashion air conditioning!

H&M does it again!

My love for H&M has no bounds. I wore this outfit yesterday and thank god I did. The weather was scorching hot and I could already feel the heat at 6:40 in the morning. I got this lovely tunic dress at H&M over the weekend for $7. In fact I liked it so much I got another one in a different color. Thank you H&M!

Oh and did you notice my new haircut. I decided to get my hair cut shorter so my natural waves/curls could go crazy in the summer. Especially since we don't have central air and I don't want to be sweating my make up off before even leaving for work. So my hair routine can now be shaved down to a few measly minutes.

Happy Hump Day!

Tuesday Shoes-Day!

Hi, my name's Jennifer and I have a shoe addiction. While browsing the internet last week I came across this site. Ever since then my world has been turned upside down.

The first pair I'm featuring today are completely me and are everything I look for in a shoe. Which of course is bascially that "it" factor. I love when shoes are a little different and have a cool architecture about them.

The second pair of shoes are a little out of my comfort zone. I am by no means a tennis shoe girl but I feel like I could wear these with a more casual outfit and possibly treat them as a wedge bootie.

Even though I'm dying over these shoes and want them NOW I think I will wait to make sure I get some extra money before I go shoe spending. Shoes will do that to you. Make you crazy and all!

DIY - Pillowcase Dress for Toddlers

I've been wanting to do some sewing projects for a while, and after finding the materials I was able to finish a project I had pinned from a site called Prudent Baby.

I started with this - 

After 2 nights, a few modifications and a few choice expletives at times of confusion, I ended up with this -

It's a little bit messy, and I'm not yet sure if it'll stand up to the wear and tear of little M wearing it, but it's darn cute. I have quite a few more orphan pillowcases, too, so I think I will be doing some more practice and in the mean time stocking up on things she can wear to bed, which we are constantly running out of for some reason. (Laundry what?) I almost wish I could make one in my size of this, because the material is so comfortable. Now that I think of it, this pillowcase did have a matching sheet...

Freshness in a jar

With summer quickly approaching I tend to try and find ways to have lighter meals. The heavy meals of winter don't quite work for the summer so I have to find ways to change that up.

Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE salad. While visiting other blogs and browsing through pinterest I noticed salads in a jar. I figured I would try it. Anything to help my lettuce last longer and to prevent my hard earned money from going down the drain.

Here are the simple easy steps:

1. Wash and dry the lettuce.

2. Once the lettuce is dry cut it up to your liking.

3. Put it in a mason jar and put the lid on it.

4. Store in the fridge (from my experience it lasts at least 2 weeks in the fridge like this)

Happy Eating!
