Orange + Polka Dots


 Happy Friday loves! I am so excited about this holiday weekend.  It means eating slabs of ribs dripping with barbecue sauce, grilled burgers and dogs, picnic potato salad and laying under a tree in the park. YAY! And of course recognizing that the day is about more than barbecue, but about taking a moment to recognize the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

I am super excited to have been featured on the fabulous Oh To Be A Muse Blog. I want to thank Cheryl, the lovely woman behind this wonderful fashion blog. You can see the feature here. And of course, I would be thrilled if you head over there and show me a little love:-)

 I love the color orange and if you have been following for a while, you know that orange gets lots of play in my wardrobe.  I paired this cute little H&M orange dress with some splashes of black and white. for some reason polka dots always put me in a good mood.   Stay tuned for some fun changes I am making to my blog.  I think you will love them!  So, what are you doing this holiday weekend? I plan to have my face in a plate of barbecue real soon and me and my little one will be off on one of our adventures this weekend:-)

.

Dress: H&M, Scarf: F-21, Purse: Gift, Shoes, Private Boutique





There is just somethin about Turquoise...
Nothing like a funky pair of oxfords:-)


I love this purse. It was given to me as a gift and I love it because it is so very versatile




 Have an amazing weekend!  Be sure to tell me all about it:-)

    The that shade of orange on you. That's for pointing out the fact that memorial day is about the giving thanks for the people who gave their life for our country
