MESH LOVE!

BAG LOVE! (This Color Palette though?!?!)

VELVET LOVE!

Happy Wednesday loves! I hope you’re having a great week so far! It’s been a busy one for us over here, lots of running around, work, meetings you know… The usual! Today I am rounding up some of my favorite pieces right now! From mesh to velvet and cross body bags, I’ve got some really cool pieces for you to browse and shop! I would love to hear your thoughts on the mesh trend! I got this particular mesh dress overlay from Zara about a month ago when they had a big sale! I literally paid $13 for it. Unfortunately this piece sold out very quickly! I actually saw it on a friend at a party a few months prior and fell in love! I have linked as many similar pieces to this one for some inspiration for you guys!  My shoes have been on repeat since this past November!  They are on sale for 19.50 and JUST went out of stock 🙁 .  My next favorite pair are these and these…  Both perfect for Spring!! My bag is less than 19.00, one of my favorite colors right and it goes with everything! The quilted texture is so fun! Gahh! Some of these pieces have me itching for Spring!! Anyone else ready for a season change?!  Thank you as always for stopping by the blog!!

Much love,

There are seasons where God takes years and decades to answer prayers (and I’m still waiting for some of those) and then there’s the moments where God answers your prayers hours or a day later.
