Meet New Mom Anna

Happy Friday! Boy, I did not think this day was going to come... longest week ever.  To end the week on a high note, I want everyone to meet Anna. Not only is she a new mom to an adorable baby boy but she's also a new mom with great style.

Hi everyone, I'm Anna. I blog over at Happy Medley about my life as a first time mama and love of fashion. Since becoming a mother, it's been a little challenging finding ways of staying stylish and at the same time practical with my wardrobe. The things that I have to accomplish just in one day, require my clothes to be functional and comfortable in every situation. I find patterns that easily hide occasional spit-up and drool as well as help me feel fabulous. Thank you for reading and come check out my blog, and say hi. I would love for you to stick around.

How cute are Anna's pants?! Don't forget to head over to Happy Medley and show her some love!

Here are some quick Friday Love-It Notes for the week before I sign off for the weekend.

1. Online shopping. Typically, I'm an in-store shopping kind of gal, but I needed a new one piece bathing suit and haven't been able to find one that didn't make me look like I was 85 years old. After more hours spent than I would rather say and some help from my twitter friends, I finally found this one. It's adorable, right!?

2. Raspberries. My current fruit of choice. They are so yummy and I could literally eat 2 boxes in one sitting.

3. Reruns of SATC. No matter how many times I've seen an episode, it just doesn't get old. I watched a mini marathon last weekend and it just simply made me happy. Plus, you can always learn something new from Carrie.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hot Pink Does the Trick

There are days when I feel like the only thing that'll make me happy is some hot pink accessories. That and dots... obviously.

Do you ever have those days or weeks where it feels like it's taking forever for Friday to come? Recently I get those a lot. And when I can't or shouldn't be eating my way to the weekend, I use my clothes for a little pick-me-up. Bright colors always do the trick!

Perhaps what I really need is a vacation. We haven't had one in a while and we don't have one planned until later in the summer. So every day just seems to drag. Must... make... it... to the... summer! Are you going on any vacations soon? Tell me so I can live vicariously through you!

A Mojito with a Twist

Whenever I wear green and white, it reminds me of a mojito. Throw on a fabulous colorful scarf and you've got your own mojito with a twist.

It's always fun when you can tie your outfit into some sort of food, dessert, or any other treat. I feel like I do that a lot. Or maybe I'm just always hungry. Either way, it makes getting dressed more enjoyable, especially on a Monday morning. Don't you agree?!

Let's talk about this scarf. It's lightweight, colorful, and soft. The perfect formula for a perfect spring and summer scarf. Tell me, do you like to wear scarves in warmer weather or do you wear them only for the purpose of keeping your neck warm?

I Mustache You + A Giveaway {Closed}

I mustache you a question... isn't this necklace just simply adorable!? This necklace is just tons of fun. How can you not be in a good mood with this accessory.

Good luck everyone and I hope you all have a great weekend. And I leave you with just one Friday Love-It note this week: my mom! Happy Mother's Day to all the mommas out there. Enjoy your day and get pampered!

Mini Bubbles

I know these necklaces are nothing new to many of you, but let me tell you what I really love about this bubble necklace.

{Blazer: Zara, Top: Francesca's Collection (old), Jeans: H&M, Shoes: Vince Camuto, Necklace: c/o Wild Butterfly Boutique, Bracelets: David Yurman, BaubleBar}

This bubble necklace is actually in a mini size, which is perfect for my smaller torso. I've found the regular size to completely overpower me, which is why I never got one when it was all the rage. I love it in the white color too, I think it goes perfectly with my favorite owl print top.

Wild Butterfly Boutique has these bubble necklaces in an array of colors and a variety of sizes. Excited? Well, just wait... I have a giveaway coming up on Friday that you don't want to miss!
