Summer Blue with a Braided Wedge

Here I am!  This summer has been a busy one, always jumping from one thing to the next :)

I've caught some great deals so far this summer, including these tan braided wedges!  I was taking a stroll through Gap over the weekend when I noticed them on a shelf in the back.  There were a lot of red and blue pairs, but just one pair of tan and what do you know... just my size too - 7!  The tan wedge is definitely in this year, and a braided strap is pretty popular.  I tried them on and they caught my eye immediately, I love the gold buckle and cork bottom, I knew I'd get a lot of wear out of them - perfect for the office!  Stop by your Gap and see if they have a pair, on sale for $35.99!

























I knew I wanted to wear shorts so I pulled out a white pair at knee length, great for work.  Still keeping the clothing simple, but needing a little flare I chose a t-shirt that cut longer in the front, cinched on the sides and down the spine of the back.  The shorts are something I've had for awhile from Gap and the shirt was a Marshalls clearance find!  Always keep an eye out for the basics on the clearance rack, they always come in handy!  I didn't go crazy with jewelry, I added a leopard headband for some snaz :)

First pair of summer shorts!

Sunday funday for me includes shopping, relaxing, and more shopping! I woke up this morning and headed to my nana's for breakfast - french toast, eggs and bacon. She's turning 90 any day now and still cooks for an army.  Her grocery receipt totals close to $200 every 2 weeks, oh and did I mention she lives on her own.  She's your picture perfect Italian grandmother, remember the mother on Everybody Loves Raymond? That is her!

My college roomie and I then stopped at my favorite store on the way home - Marshalls, of course! -jam packed with new stuff, spring is here! Like always I tried on 15 things and left with 2 - only buy what you love!

First up...
My first pair of summer shorts! I saw them and just couldn't resist - faded cheetah print! I can picture them now with a white oversized T and a long simple necklace. For shoes, some type of strappy sandal, nothing high. Oh summer days, you can't come soon enough!

That's all for now, more to come on my shopping trip tomorrow! (I might have made a second trip to a different Marshalls later in the day too - obsessed)

Great weekend with my roomie, missed/already miss her so much. Hold on to the ones that matter the most!
FYI, I am not a spokesperson for Marshalls, I am simply just in love with the store!
