Versona Accessories and a GIVEAWAY!

There's a new store in town, friends! Versona Accessories!!

Conveniently located in the super expansive Southaven Towne Center, Versona has only been open two weeks and that place is packed with great trends in EVERY color imaginable.  I was expecting jewelry, but they have SO MUCH OF IT and more.  They invited me to attend the Grand Opening a few weeks ago, which I could not attend, but I finally made it in this week to get my hands on some new accessories!  The quality of their stuff is top notch and really affordable.

In addition to jewelry, they have tons of clothes, shoes, bags, etc.

GOOD NEWS!

You can go try Versona yourself because they gave me a $25 gift card to give away to one of my merry readers!  Before you enter, check here and make sure there is a Versona in your area!

Good luck!

Simple and Casual (and Twizzlers)

{jeans: tj maxx | white tee: old navy | army vest: old navy | flats: tory burch | necklace: accessory concierge | sunglasses: michael kors}

I don't know what is more simple than a white tee and jeans!  Meanwhile, I refuse to go a week without wearing my green vest... so throw that in and you have my outfit.  Badabing! Seriously folks, I will cry when this baby (eventually) gets lost or horribly damaged from my love.  There are two things I just don't think I can live without: my green army vest and sweet and sour Twizzlers. Currently, I am off Twizzlers (I KNOW???!!!!!!) so be prepared to see the vest reappear again soon.
Don't forget there are two giveaways open to my little chickens! BE sure to enter!! $200 Piperlime Gift Card Giveaway AND $100 Etsy/$100 Amazon/$100 PayPal/$30 Target GIVEAWAY!

Pep(lum) Up & a GIVEAWAY!

{peplum top: ASOS via Gwynnie Bee | jeans: TJ Maxx | belt: dots | wedges: payless | necklace: JNA}

I have loved the peplum trend since it first hit the mainstream a year or so ago, but finding a good option that I loved on me was difficult.  I tried dresses, jackets, and tops all peplum... none were great.  When Gwynnie Bee sent me this ASOS top, I was weary.. but I actually loved the Minnie Mouse vibe (so did my preschoolers) and it felt funky and fun!  Peplum, I have a feeling our love affair is just beginning. (Side note: these pics were taken pre-keratin treatment, so just imagine the hair 1400 times better, because it is)

{I am guest posting on Ten Feet Off Beale today! Go check out more merrymaking over there!}

With the big announcement by Google that they're getting rid of Google Reader, there has been a huge push to move towards Bloglovin', and it's such a fun way to follow and keep up with blogs.  So in order to help our followers move to that platform a bunch of us bloggers got together and have a HUGE giveaway to celebrate.  The response was intense, and so we ended up with 4 different gift cards at a $320 value!  Amazing!

In order to keep you from getting too intimidated by the rafflecopter we've broken it down into 4 different ones, go ahead and enter them all if you'd like! :) This also ensures you have a much higher chance of winning!
