10 Things I’m Loving Right Now

New blog, who dis?

So I have the plague. Literally. Ok, not literally–I don’t have gangrene and fleas, but I am so sick. I swear this season of sickness is the worst. Everyone is coming down with everything. I just have a nasty cold and haven’t moved much in a few days. I have watched all the Mary-Kate and Ashley movies, both Pitch Perfects, an entire season of GirlBoss, a few Netflix original movies, and all the Primetime Olympics. Not to mention, I decided my blog needed a face lift, so I fought with HTML all weekend. Oh and I now leave creepy notes for the pizza guy to leave the pizza on the porch and back away. So I’m doing real well.

I didn’t get off the couch to create great a great post for today, so instead I’m going to show you 15 things I’ve either purchased, am going to purchase, or am adding to my never-ending wish list. Not brilliant, but I am totally obsessed with these things.


-Ok, I’ve clearly been putting this sweater all over Instagram, but it’s fantastic. It’s the perfect dupe (I actually think it’s cuter) than the Nordy sweater that took over blogland. AND it’s $46. Say whatttt?

-Speaking of dupes. These shoes are perfect dupes for the Vince Camuto shoes that swept Instagram too. I own the Vince Camuto version and LOVE them, but man I would have rather paid $34 for these dupes. 😉

-I do not own these yet, but holy wow I will soon. They are called mermaid leggings. They are pink and sparkly and I need them in my workout outfit rotation ASAP.

-Have you seen the spring collection for Kendra Scott?? I cannot breathe because I want all of it. I went to preview the new collection and there is not a single piece I don’t need. This is my favorite Kendra collection of all time. I received these earrings, but am adding these earrings and this ring to my birthday wish list. You should absolutely go check out this collection.

–This gym bag.  It was featured in this blog post last week, but I just think it is the cutest…and so accurate. I like to end all workouts with pizza.

-Y’all. The inverted umbrella is a game changer. This is not a joke. This is not a drill. This umbrella opens inside out so the water stays on the inside. It doesn’t get your car wet or your clothes wet. Quite honestly, I have no idea why umbrellas haven’t been made this way the whole time.

-These pom pom sneaks. Over the top? Yes. Do I need them? Absolutelyyyyy!

-Spring break is coming and this swimsuit is back in stock! Whoo! It’s so cute, I wore it as a bodysuit a lot last summer. The back is just the cutest and it’s fully lined. I can’t recommend it enough for the warmer seasons so go ahead and snag yours!

-These champagne bottle earrings that are on sale for $14. Do you hear me (or I guess read me) right now?? So cute!

-I’m totally buying this purse for summer. The wooden purses seem to be making a second lap this summer. This one seems so unique and the strap gives it a really trendy touch.

Ok, I stayed awake to make this list. Now I’m going to restart Grey’s Anatomy from the beginning again and clunk out. Being sick takes a toll even when you are just sitting writing a blog post of pretty clothes haha.

Anyways happy Monday! What are you buying today?

    That gym bag is literally my mantra! Loved reading all the different things that you’ve been loving this month! I’ve been loving GIANT, cozy sweaters because it’s still 20 degrees here in PA!

    Feel better. I’d have had a hard time putting together such an interesting post. I definitely want an inverted umbrella now.

    I hope you feel better soon, lady!

    But also, I am now obsessed with those mermaid leggings. Like, I NEED to add the black iridescent pair on their site to my stash of yoga pants.

    The inverted umbrella sounds so handy!! I remember seeing it on tv or somewhere and thinking it looked like a super cool idea. But I wasn’t sure if it actually worked. So happy to hear it’s so awesome!! I’ll have to add it to my shopping list 🙂

    Those Vince Camuto dupes are AMAZING! I really wanted to buy them during the Nordstrom Sale but I decided to pass and now I’m SO excited to go get a pair from Target!
