Happy Friday eve dolls! I don't know about any one else but I am so excited for St. Patrick's Day tomorrow! We don't have anything over the top planned but I love seeing everyone out in green, being cheery. It feels like for one day everyone is a bit more unified. That probably sounds a bit funny/weird considering how commercialized St. Patrick's Day has become but any holiday that encourages people to go out together and have a good time is a good one in my opinion. It also doesn't hurt that it's on a Friday this year so how can it not be great?
Ok, enough about St. Patrick's Day, let's talk about how much I have been LOVING bell sleeves lately. It was one of those trends I wasn't sure I'd get on board with but then I saw someone wearing a cute dress with bell sleeves and my obsession began. I have to admit, as a petite girl, bell sleeves can be hit or miss; sometimes they can swallow me and other times they can look great so it's really something I should try on. This was definitely one of those tops and even after trying it on I still went back and forth about it but you know what, you only live once, right? This is definitely the perfect top for spring since it looks great with both jeans and shorts and it's super flowy and comfortable. For this look I kept it pretty casual with some destroyed denim and a suede choker but I dressed it up a tiny bit with some wedges. Definitely the perfect Sunday morning coffee run and errands outfit during the spring! Be sure to enter the Gucci bag giveaway at the bottom of today's post!

Ad by them I mean me :) I cannot believe that today is my two year blogiversary! If anyone would have told me how much I would have learned, the friendships I have made and how much fun I have through blogging I probably would have started years ago! I am so lucky to have such great readers and to have built so many amazing friendships through my blog. It's so crazy to think that you guys wouldn't be in my life if it wasn't for this tiny little space of mine so I just wanted to say thank you for that and thank you for continuing to stop by my blog and say hi! I thought about getting all dressed up and wearing something fun for my blogiversary but then I realized, why not look like I look every day?

{gotta love the intense look... I was like "so can I eat this yet??"}

To be honest, I'm much more of a jeans and tee shirt kind of girl. Don't get me wrong, I love dressing up and I dress up for work Monday-Thursday but when I get home from work if I don't throw on yoga pants and a tank top because I'm trying to be "presentable", I throw on jeans and a tee. If you were to see me walking down the street on any given day this is most likely exactly how you'd see me. You'll have to excuse the lighting, I took these after work and the sun had already started to go down so I worked with what I had!

To celebrate my blogiversary I've teamed up with some gorgeous ladies (and some of my favorite bloggers) to do a $325 Nordstrom gift card giveaway. When deciding what kind of giveaway I wanted to do on my blog I went back and forth between a prize and a gift card but since it's the giving season I went with a Nordstrom gift card because they give 1% of all gift card sales to local non-profit organizations. 

Happy Humpday! I can't believe the week is already half way over and next week is July! Where does the time go? I swear June flew by. I feel like just yesterday Kerri and I were going to HOB for the Dashboard Confessional/ Third Eye Blind concert and now here it is a few days before my birthday and a little over a week from Key West! If you haven't been reading my blog for very long, I spend every 4th of July in Key West. This year I'm taking a whole new group of people with me and we're trying out some new things so I'm super excited! I love getting to celebrate the 4th down in Key West, no matter where you are on the island you can see fireworks (they set them off at the north and southeast side), our favorite little beach bar has the best red, white and blue cocktail and we get to bbq in paradise. 

I decided to throw together a list of must haves for the 4th to celebrate in style! How do you usually celebrate the 4th?

bikini / tote / tank / sandals / shorts / nail strips / shorts / hat / dress
