Let's talk pendant lights. . .
I'm planning a bathroom remodel (budget pending!) so naturally I've been spending all my time on Pinterest, pinning things for the bathroom because that's productive, right? I have a strange hanging light in the center of the bathroom right now and I wanted to replace it with a cool pendant light. After discovering this little gem on Pinterest, I am obsessed...
It's called the Barbara Barry Simple Scallop Pendant...and it's $630 dollars, darn it! I love how it looks in all these rooms. Bathroom, Kitchen, it looks good everywhere!
Absolutely love the girly powder room! I don't think anything like this would work in my house, but still, so fun. And of course, look at the light!
Of course they look fabulous in multiples too.
I've been searching for a more affordable option but haven't come across much yet. I did find this gorgeous pendant on sale because it's an opened box, but it's still over $200, tempting, but I'm not sure it's going to work with the budget. The black piping is a nice touch.
I'm going to keep searching for more budget friendly options, but I may have to just go with a basic drum shade pendant. So that's my Pinterest obsession lately, have you guys stumbled across any good finds on there lately?

Made in America: 4th of July Fashion Edition
Have you ever noticed how hard it is to find cute, Made in America clothes that don't cost a lot? Almost verything at stores like Forever 21, Ann Taylor Loft, Gap, etc. are generally imported so it can be really frustrating when looking for cute, reasonably priced things that are also made right here in America. I stumbled on a shopping site called Sosie and was completely surprised to find cute, well-priced items Made in America!
Here are a few of my favorites:
Forever Zig Zag Blouse, $38
Powell Skirt, $38
Lace Petal Shift Dress, $55
Striped Shift Dress, $49
So excited to find this new site. Shopping and feeling good about supporting America? What could be more patriotic for the 4th of July?!

Work it Out
I have been on a major working out bender lately...and it feels great! I've worked out about 3-5 times a week for the past 5 weeks. And I started Week 6 Sunday with running and spin class the other night. I always feel so good about myself after a workout. There is nothing like running or lifting weights to make you feel super confident and de-stressed! Of course with all this working out I've been getting really into my "gear." Here are a few of my favorites, because let's face it, looking cute during your workout makes you run that much faster :)
I know everyone is into the super thin and sleek workout shoes lately, well not me. My first pair of Nike shox got me through about 3 years of workouts, so I wasn't about to turn on them when it was time for a replacement. I finally ordered these last week and I custom designed them with Nike iD. So cool!
One other thing from Nike.com, I ordered these pants on clearance and am in love with them!! So comfy and cute. I love the wide waistband and they definitely stayed put during my whole workout.
Have you guys seen the active line by Old Navy? They've got some great pieces and all at really good prices. I just got a pair of their active leggings. For only $27 they have all the good stuff; moisture wicking fabric, zip pocket for keys. Anything with the name compression in the title works for me...
I just found a great top from Gap Body that I feel like is so cute I want to wear it for normal activities (I'll try to restrain myself). This little top made me want to run over to yoga class. Literally, I was so excited to sport this at Yoga! I don't know why this top isn't up on their website?! Here are a few pics from the store... It is super comfortable, not to mention ultra flattering with the empire waist. I'd say it has enough support for lower impact activities, I have worn it for yoga and lifting.
A few things I'm eying from Nordstrom...you can never have too many workout tops, right?!
Similar to the Gap tank, but I love this color and the racerback, you can find this online here.
Happy working out :)

My Summer Sun must-haves
I'm a little bit of a product freak...you should see my linen closet and bathroom drawers, too many products!! But, I have a lot of favorites for summer sun time that I thought you might like too. Here's my list of must-haves for beach time.
Clinique SPF Face Cream
My face can easily break out so I like to use an SPF formulated just for faces that is oil-free. I also like that this has a few added benefits that you don't always get with the drug store brands. Here's what Sephora says about this cream: Clinique's innovative SolarSmart™ complex triggers an anti-aging repair process while at once providing skin with a high level of defense from the aging and burning effects of UVA and UVB rays. The formulation also includes a boost of antioxidants to shield skin from environmental aggressors.
My sister and I both have sensitive skin and this never irritates us. I also have a cream I use by Lancome but it doesn't seem to be available online anymore, bummer.
Floppy Hats
These are an obvious must-have! I have a big floppy hat from Gap, but here are a few others that I think are cute and definitely shield you from the sun. I used to have a straw cowboy hat in high school that I wore to the beach, so I added one to the mix. So cute.
SPF Spray Lotion
I don't know why this wasn't invented when I was a kid, so easy. I always bring a Target one with me to the beach or pool. Cheap and it works great.
Now, for after the sun I have a few things that never fail me...
Vasoline Cocoa Butter Body Oil
More moisturizers! To me, Summer is all about keeping your skin nice and soft and of course the moisture helps to keep your tan around a little longer too. I like to put this on my legs right after showering or before a night out! The oil contains:
That's the list! What about you guys, are there any products you swear by for summer time that I should try?

Now, for after the sun I have a few things that never fail me...
Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pads
These just came out this year and I LOVE them. One little pad exfoliates your skin, gives it some antioxidants and leaves you with a great, natural looking glow. My face never seems to get that tan, especially with all the lotion I put on. This is a great way to give yourself a glow, minus the sun damage. Sephora and Nordstrom both sell these for around $32, but the best deal is really from Amazon, you can get a pack of 20 for only $26! And free shipping too.
Tree Hut Shea Body Butter
After a day at the beach I always slather on a really thick cream. This has been a favorite of mine since I got it for a birthday gift in January. It has the best beachy scent and really moisturizes great. Another bonus? The products are made right here in America and are all natural. Everything they make also uses certified organic shea. My favorite scent is Hawaiian Kukui.
Aromatherapy Sugar Scrub with Essential Oils
I've been using this scrub from the Bath&Body Works Aromatherapy line since high school, it's good stuff. Right when I see the first signs of any peeling starting I use this. Not only does it exfoliate like nothing else, but it also has an oil base so your are super smooth and moisturized when you step out of the shower. They have a lot of good scents too, strong, but not quite as over powering as some of the other B&B Works products.

Steal of the Week: The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Some things are so good, they only happen once a year. It's that time again -- The Nordstrom Anniversary sale!! New Fall lines will be on sale starting tomorrow morning at 8 AM. I obviously couldn't wait until then, I've been hitting up the preview sale all week and wanted to share my favorite finds with you.
Let's start with accessories. There are awesome deals on Michael Kors watches. The three pictured below are featured, but there are also 4 or 5 other styles on sale. This is probably the only time you will find these watches marked down. There is a light and dark tortoise shell on sale and there are also a few DKNY watches that are more reasonably priced than the MK ones.
In this same department, my absolute favorite tights on our sale -- Spanx Tight End Tights, get it :) These are a wardrobe staple for me in the winter. Perfect opaque color and lots of slimming action happening up top. This year they added a new style, reversible! Hey, why not? I got a black/brown pair. Regularly $42 and something like $28 for the sale. Also, upstairs in the initmates department, the best Spanx basics are on sale -- the girl short shaper and the longer, high-waist shapers. Again -- wordrobe staples in my opinion. See food posts here and here if you're wondering why....
On to the shoes!! This is hands down the best time to buy Fall boots. We all know how expensive a good pair of leather boots can be, so I think it's best to scout out the sales. I purchased my first pair of Fryes at the anniversary sale a few years back, definitely a worthwhile investment! Here's a few boots I'm liking from this year's sale:
Tory Burch, even I can't rationalize myself into shelling out the money for these. But they are gorgeous aren't they?
Both of the below boots are a good deal. On the left is Steve Madden for around $130 and on the right is Nordstrom's brand BP, a great "steal" for tall leather boots at $109.90.
Last but not least, the jeans department has some decent sales. There are a couple of different Hudson's on sale, the Baby Boot and a skinny pair. They are both normally $170+ but on sale for around $115 I believe.
Let me know if you guys find any good deals -- Happy Shopping!

Steal of the Week: Kate Spade

Today, Rue La La has a Kate Spade sale starting at 10 AM CST. There's sure to be some good deals in there.

Steal of the Week: tunic tees
I'm always looking for cute tops to throw over leggings or skinny jeans. Found these at Forever 21 last week -- such a great deal! They are super soft and I love the slub cotton look. You can't beat the $10.50 price, that's for sure! I think this top would be so cute dressed up with some jewelry, skinny jeans and cute flats. I could also see the white as a beach cover-up. If all else fails, these are so soft they would make the perfect sleep shirt so you can look cute even when you're just around the house.
