In Memory

Today is officially about remembering and honoring the men and women who died while serving our country.  And as a more general expression of memory, this one's for Whitey/Max/Grandpa Boschke and Howard/Grandpa Pirsig - two great men I wish I could have known more... miss and love you both!

Friday Find

Rohto Ice Eye Drops (Walgreens, Walmart)

Rohto Ice Eye Drops have been my go to since I first tried them a few months ago.  Rohto gets rid of tired and red eyes with an instant cooling effect- and are life savers if you have itchy eyes or suffer from allergies. Disclaimer: if you wear contacts like me - apply them (a small drop is all you need) before putting your contacts in and wait about 15 minutes. As the window to your soul - it's important to keep your eyes clear and bright :)

Casual Sparkle

There are few things that are more fun to wear than sequins...  And adding some sparkle transforms cutoffs and a T-shirt into something much more fun and special.  And it's okay to dust off those sparkly pieces for everyday wear.  It's basically the grown up version of playing princess... so while I don't have a tiara (not yet at least) - I have a sequin jacket :)

Red Hot

Sweater (Nine West find at Marshalls); Pants (Limited); Shoes (Nine West)
Sunglasses (Charming Charlie); Watch (Fossil)

I know I'm not the only one who struggles with dressing for the weather vs. the office temperature.  If I dressed for the office where it's winter all year round, I'd be bundled up every day.  Most days at work you can catch me with a blanket on my lap or wearing an oversized fleece that I keep at my desk.  But this outfit does the seemingly impossible, and is appropriate for the weather while also preventing the dreaded fleece from making an appearance ;)

Nautical Neon

Shirt & Scarf (Target); Skirt (eShakti); Shoes (Nine West); Earrings (Nordstrom)

Nautical fashion is one of my favorites - it's clean, classic, and never goes out of style. I'm also a big fan of the neon trend.  When I  stumbled upon this scarf at Target a few weeks ago, I fell in love with the bright yellow and stripes.   And I didn't realize it at first, but the scarf strongly resembles a life preserver ring...  which is probably what kept me from going overboard on accessories ;)
