5 Favorites (Maybe 6!) : #blogeverdayinfeb

Happy Monday! 

I have today off, as it's President's Day, and I plan to spend it getting ready for the upcoming week: blogging, tests/quizzes, and some homework! 

My 5 (6!) Favorites are from J. Crew Factory - I can't get over the great items and amazing deals. 

these shorts (similar) // I saw these shorts on the J. Crew Factory website about a month ago, fell in love, but they slipped out of my mind. (I have an eye for ANY printed short.) Walking into the sale section of my local J. Crew Factory, these shorts caught my eye and I couldn't say no. I got them for $15. (what a steal!) I am so glad I did ... #springcancomenow.

Any recommendations for stores that carry cute printed shorts? Gap was my store last spring.

Retro Frame Sunglasses // While at my J. Crew, I stumbled upon these Retro sunglasses, but (stupidly) passed them up ... and I'm regretting it. I don't have a pair of sunglasses, and I need a good pair. These are unique and adorable. I may have to go back or order them online, I'm still thinking about them! (Input please!)

Nautical Chino Short // Not printed, but the gold accents are perfect. 

Optic Dot Mini // I think I have one polka dot item in my closet, and it's navy. (go figure) This skirt is cute and perfect for Spring.

Peter Pan Collar Dress // I don't have a single item in my closet with a collar, let alone a Peter Pan one. This dress would be perfect for school but also for a Sunday Brunch! 

Scalloped Shift Dress // I have seen SO MANY instagrams, tweets, pins, blog posts, etc., about this fantastic dress, but I haven't been able to say yes to the price just yet. I saw it in the store and was drawn directly to it, but just couldn't say yes. 

Which one of these items is your favorite? 

Do you know where I could find any look-a-likes for a better price?

ps. Come back at 10:00 for a second post, featuring my favorite pants from Gap!

I am so glad that I survived Tuesday. As it proved to be the toughest day of this 4 day week with my Algebra 2 Test, I am glad that it is over with and I that I can begin to close this week off.

Wish List Wednesday: Countdown to Christmas #3

Happy Wednesday! 

I cannot believe that Christmas is less than 25 days away; I feel like there is so little time to get people's presents this year because of such a late Thanksgiving. (crunch time!)

Christmas is starting to feel more real each and every day with the Christmas Concert this Thursday and Friday - so excited. 

This week's Countdown to Christmas features Lands' End!

I've gotten my cords for the season... time for colored jeans! 

Bracelet Sleeve Popover

Love the color scheme!

Navy Corduroy Leggins

Wish List Wednesday: Countdown to Christmas #2

Weekend Lookbook + Motivation Monday

This week is Thanksgiving, and I only have to go to school today and tomorrow! On Tuesday we have the Junior vs. Senior Powderpuff game, meaning an activity schedule and shortened classes. (What a way to end before break!) I am excited to have a few days off and spend time with family.

This weekend I volunteered at the Feeding of the Multitudes in Downtown Charleston on the East Side. After seeing how grateful people were for simple clothes and a meal, I am truly thankful for the things that I have. 

With only two days this week, I don't need to much motivation (even though I have so much due today and tomorrow). 

Some of my favorite quotes I found on Pinterest this week:

What are you most excited for this week?

Wish List Wednesday: Countdown to Christmas #1

Last week in vocal, we started Christmas Music; I am ok with singing it, but I am refusing to listen to it until Thanksgiving... or at least when break starts. 

I've started my wish list for Christmas, and (of course), it is filled with items from Gap. This Christmas I am asking for lots of clothes/accessories because I feel like these are items that I am in need of this season. 

Boyfriend Chords

Real Straight Chords

I don't remember the last time I owned a pair of corduroys... so, naturally I ask for 2 pairs.

Straight Khakis // I don't have a pair of Khakis, yet I feel as though they are a staple piece. (And they come in Navy - double plus.)

Flannel Shirt Dress // I have been wanting a shirt dress since I first saw the J. Crew Shirt Dress on the College Prepster. 

Fleece Pleated Dress // A dress that can be worn through winter and spring - and boots! 

Slim Cropped Print Pants // Love the print. And the fit. (Love everything about them!)

There are so many adorable items.
My friend Emily and I have an obsession. We will send pictures back and forth of things we love from Kate Spade ... and from other stores we love.

Wish List Wednesday: Simply Jessica Marie

In August, the Chicago Prepster wrote a product review for the Etsy Shop Simply Jessica Marie - and from the moment I saw the monogrammed canvases, I fell in love. 

My past Wish List Wednesdays have included lots of prints (or at least if feels like they have) - I love quotes and I have wanted to fill the wall above my desk with prints of quotes. 

Inspirational Art Print: Color Life with Love and Curiosity

Custom Personalized Striped Mint and Gold

Blue and Gold Custom Personalized Monogrammed Canvas

Inspirational Art Print: Live with Purpose and Passion

The art prints add quotes and inspiration to any space; and the monogrammed canvases adds personalization.

Wish List Wednesday: Nico and Lala

Happy Wednesday! 

Nico and  Lala is a cute online shops that specializes in stationary, iPhone and iPad cases, and little "catch all" trays and cups. 

Everything in their online shop has so many options. 

For example, the two cups (shown bottom right) have 12 different options for how you can customize them, from patterns to how your monogram is shown. 

Let my indecisiveness kick in. 

Zebra iPad Cover // I love the color scheme (and the zebras!) 

Mod Monogram Notecard Set & Swirl Monogram Notecard Set // Personalized Stationary? Yes Please! 

Flamingo Catch All // This would be perfect for on my desk or on top of my bookshelf. I am always in need of something to keep track of all the little things in my room that don't have a home. 

Pencil Cup Holder/Make Up Brush Holder // I currently use mason jars for my makeup brushes, mascara, and eye brightener, but this cute cup would be a perfect way to hold those items.

Wish List Wednesday: Ashley Brooke Designs

After seeing Ashley Brooke Designs featured in many giveaways on blogs (and from being retweeted by some of my favorite bloggers) I had to check her blog and shop out! 

And let me tell you: she has some brilliant items in her shop. 

Hustlin' T-shirt // This adorable t-shirt would be a perfect lazy day school day shirt or for a Saturday Day shopping trip... or even for working out.

I love coffee mugs, and these two mugs are no exception.

Wish List Wednesday: Tote Bags

I have been on a mad search for tote bags for fall. There is just something about fall approaching that makes me feel like I need something to get me excited for the season. Not that I'm not excited - I cannot wait for fall to officially start, which in South Carolina is mid to late November. 

But still - I cannot wait for Fall.

Everyday Leather Tote // I originally saw this on Pinterest and had to pin it. It is probably my least favorite tote out of this selection, but it seems like a fantastic tote for fall. 

Classic Tote in Black // I saw this bag yesterday on College Prep for her incredible Cinco Powell Giveaway - I had to enter after falling in love with the tote. 

The Dagne Dover T.1 // Again, other find on College Prep, Carly calls this bag "the perfect bag for both school and work. And after watching the video, I couldn't agree more. 

ASOS Mini Tote Bag with Tassel // Another great find on Pinterest, I am in love with how it is a tote but also a satchel. 

Factory Two-Tone Tote Bag // After being told by Classic With a Twist to look at J. Crew for tote bags. I love how it incorporates two colors that I constantly am wearing - navy and green. 

Longchamp Le Pliage Large // I have had my eye on the Longchamp tote for a long time. I still can't make myself commit to it yet! Maybe Christmas... 

ASOS Leather Scallop Edge Shopper // Another find from the amazing College Prep, I fell in love with this tote when she talked about it on her blog. 

Which one of these totes will be the greatest investment and last the longest?

Wish List Wednesday

Just one week ago I started my adventure in High School, and oh what fun has it been!

High School truly is fun - the teachers are finally treating us like mature individuals - no more being fed my our teachers.
As much as I miss my middle school teachers, I am ready for whatever the next four years brings.

Kate Spade: Things We Love // I heard about this lovely book from The College Prepster and her vine. It sems like the perfect book to add to my nightstand/bookshelf. A perfect rainy day read. 

Design Darling, The Boutique: Monogrammed Tip Pouch // I have started to love more and more individually owned shops - and Design Darling Boutique never fails to impress! Mackenzie Horan, the Design Darling, has a blog and online shop - and many of her items will be making their way onto my
Christmas Wish List. 

Tarte LipSurgence // Another reccomendation from The College Prepster, Carly says that this lip stick does not scream "LIP STICK" and is very suttle. Perfect for fall. 

Kate Spade: Little Minka // I have loved this purse since I first set eyes on it. It is the perfect cross body bag! I love how it has the top handle, but can also be work cross body.

What are you loathing for this week? 

Love, Sydney
