Palm print shorts



It's definitely still summer. The temps were around 98 with a heat index of 107 today. It was rather warm last weekend too, but I kept cool in these palm print shorts.

The slides and mules you need- Saturday shopping

Bow slides and mules have been hot items for footwear this summer. As cute as they are, I still get cracked up everytime I see a blogger on their page or on Instagram in flat bow slides because they make me think of bedroom slippers. And that's what I'd look like in them- Like I was wearing my bedroom slippers. Flat shoes of that type do nothing for my chunky legs and short stature. I need a little more sole and heel to my shoes. So while I won't be jumping on the flat bow slide bandwagon, I could see myself in a pair of mules or maybe these.

Weekend bling and Rocksbox





 
Top- Nordstrom
shorts- Old Navy  option  option
shoes- Target (old)  option  option
hat- Sears-old  option  option  option
earrings- Kendra Scott or here
bracelet - made by me (available hereoption
lips- Smashbox Disco Rose gloss
 
I wore this outfit to run errands and get lunch on Saturday. It was a last minute decision on the hubby's part and I didn't have time to wash my hair, so a hat day it was. I really didn't have time to iron either so boyfriend shorts always work when you need something to grab and go.
 
I just received my first Rocksbox on  Friday. I love the pieces I got but I'll admit that I didn't think I would wear these earrings anytime soon. That's what I get for thinking. The very next day I'm grabbing for them because I thought they worked perfectly with the green and blue in the shirt and the gold in the hat band. Have you heard of Rocksbox? You get three pieces of designer pieces on loan for $19 per month. When you get tired of them, send back your box for three more pieces. Or you can purchase your items at their cost. You get $10 credit for purchase each month as well. Try it out for one month FREE with code FONDABFF. (I'll get a little more credit in my account, and you'll get a free month.)
 
I hope you had a fabulous weekend. We got some more much needed house cleaning done and celebrated my brother's birthday.

Back to summer




Tee- JCrew Factory  option  option  option
shorts- Loft  option   option   option
shoes- Payless  option  option  option
necklace- Maurices option  option  option  option
hat- Old Navy   option   option
bracelets- JCP  option  option  option
 

Now that the Nsale is over, we can all get back to summer. It's still here in full force, although it's cooled down to under 90 this week here. It's still summer and I still want to get some wear out of my summer items, like these Loft sailor shorts. I don't really need to see fall clothing yet, and I bet you don't either. We've got plenty of time for fall.
 
What I don't have time for is wrinkles. I'm in need of a good eye cream. Any suggestions? I have a bad habit of not wearing my sunglasses, but I really need to start. Even those quick trips in and out at lunch cause me to squint and I know that's just adding to the wrinkles. So back to eye cream. I've always been a drugstore brand girl for everything and I can't quite bring myself to spend what some of the higher end creams cost, but I'm looking for something that works better than what I currently use.  Do they really work? I'd like to know your thoughts and experiences.
 
I've read some good things about Kiehls with avocado and about La Mer, (but I'm not forking out $200 for eye cream) Strivectin rated well and so did Dermalogica age smart and Dermalogica Total eye care. Have you tried any of these?

Just a quick little round up of some things that have made Instagram lately but won't be making the blog. It doesn't seem like we had much of a weekend. We made a trip to see my family for a belated birthday party and then the hubby had to work Sunday. And now July is gone...Hello August!  Not wishing my life away, but looking forward to another weekend.
 
 Hope you have a great week!

Orange you glad?





Cardigan- Target  option  option   option
tank- Cato  option  option 
shorts- JCP   option  option
sandals- Target  option  option  option
necklace- JCP  option   option
bracelets - made by me option   option   option  
 
That was a cheesy post title. This cardigan hasn't been worn in quite some time but it's a piece that I don't purge from my closet. I'm sure one day I'll decide to, but then again, I may find another way to mix it up and wear it again. Aren't you glad when you find those rarely worn pieces in your closet and give them new life?
