Weekend Favorites

- Enjoying a relaxing Saturday morning of coffee in bed off my new Nate Berkus for Target tray and a little Sarah Jessica Parker. I love SJP and have already picked which shoes I want to buy from her first shoe line! -

 

- Picking up these little beauties at T.J. Maxx. I am planning on using these very soon for a little party I am planning, stay tuned for more on that! -

 

- I believe that you can never have enough stationery, so when I saw these Hello note cards I knew I had to have them. I had put some stamps similar to the ones below on here last month. The ones I featured in this post were from J. Crew and these ones below were a steal from Michael's Arts and Crafts store.  P.S. found these in their dollar section! -

 

- Bejeweling a simple cobalt blue beanie. What better way to beat the winter blues than with a Cobalt Blue Bejeweled Beanie. Post on this DIY later this week. -

 

- Spending Sunday with a Iced Latte while making updates to Candy Coated Prada. I am trying to make this blog more user friendly and easy to find whatever you are looking for. Check out the Top Posts for some of my favorite posts. Next week you can be expecting another change! -

 

- I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I would love to hear about yours so leave me a comment and if you have a blog then leave a link to it also! Happy Monday! -

 

 

Lots of Love,  Natalie

Mint Perfection

Gap Tote, Canon Powershot Camera, Mint Mojito, Target Strapless Mint Dress, Essie Greens Mint Candy Apple, Kendra Scott, Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches

 

While, Mint has always been a big color around Easter time this year it is on overdrive. It really is everywhere for this Spring and Summer. I love this color and it seems to look good on everyone and especially with a nice tan. Get into the minty trend!

These are a few of my favorite things when it comes to Spring 2013. RayBan Aviator sunglasses are an absolute must for Spring. Recently, I have decided that I really like white Hydrangeas, they just seem to be very clean and refreshing. As you know I love Target so I have to have something from there and these Sugar Blossom soy candles are a good scent for Spring. Pastel colors are always a big trend for Spring and these Butter by London nail polish colors from their Spring Collection 2013 are perfect. Lastly, I love lighter, fruity cocktails for Spring so bring on the Mojitos. I like a regular Mojito but anytime I can get a Strawberry one I have to have one. Happy Spring 2013!

Lots of Love,  Natalie

Workout Wednesday

For those of you that do not know already know I am Pilate's Instructor. Since, I have been teaching for almost two years now, that means that my wardrobe for work consists of lots of different workout clothes. I often get asked where I get most of them from so I decided that I would answer this question on here. For chic fitness clothes that won't break the bank the best places to shop are Target, Old Navy, JC Penney, and Forever21. The medium priced range would be Zella at Nordstrom, Gap, and Athleta. As far as a place that will cost you a pretty penny its name is Lululemon. While it may be a little expensive it has amazing clothes that will last after years of wear and tear. Now that you know all my little stops for fitness clothes feel free to let me know if you have any others that I did not mention here.

I know everyone is trying to keep their New Year's Resolution to stay fit or get fit this year but that can be challenging when the weather outside is frightful. Even though I live in the South it still gets pretty chilly during the winter especially if you are getting up early for a run. After six years of running track in cold, rainy, and windy winter weather I learned how to dress for it when I go for a run. I figured I would share some of my favorite and reasonably priced cold weather gear. 
Pictured above:
 1. Women's Active Compression Jacket from Old Navy in Retro Violet
2. Gapfit Primaloft Puffer Vest from Gap in Clean Lime
3. Champion C9 Women's Compression Cold Tights from Target
4. Champion C9 Women's Puffer Front Jacket from Target in Blue/Gray
5. GapFit Motion long-sleeve T from Gap in white
6. Champion C9 Women's Tech Touch Gloves from Target
7. Champion C9 Women's Green Marled Headband from Target

Hopefully, these will help everyone stick to those fitness goal for 2013 while still looking chic. See you again tomorrow. Stay Motivated!!

Lots of Love, Natalie

 

 

Here is a little look at some of the Christmas presents that I received this year. Starting from number one a Moleskine Wine Journal, this is perfect for keeping track of all the different wines you have tried and which ones you love. Next, is Pinch Provisions Mini Emergency Kit for her, this little kit is perfect to keep in your purse because it is packed with seventeen essentials for women. Number three is the C. Wonder Leopard Calf Hair Minaudiere which is luxurious looking and reasonably priced, making it any fashionistas dream clutch. I bought the next present for my self when I was in Chicago. The Mrs. Lilien's Cocktail Swatchbook this is pretty much a flip book of cocktails which looks great on any bar cart. The fifth present might actually be my favorite. My new Lucky Brand Juneau Boots in Sudan Brown, I have worn them everyday since I got them on Christmas Eve.
Number six is a wine drinkers dream bottle opener the Oster Electric Wine Bottle Opener. Lastly, is a Target gift card and not only did I get one but three making this girl super happy! I hope you had a great Christmas too!


P.S. If you want to buy any of these simply click on the name and it will take you to a site where you can get them.

I had a wonderful dinner with a few girl friends last night. Sushi and catching up there isn't much that is better than that. I also did a little Christmas decoration shopping yesterday. I ended up buying a few things I need for my little Christmas party I will be having and then at Target I found a reindeer that I have been looking for!

The checkout lady thought I was crazy for buying this. She asked me if I liked to hunt. Well, you may think I am crazy too for wanting this but my idea is to put it above the shelf in my living room which serves as a mantle during Christmas time. If you are thinking "will I be leaving it up all year round?" . The answer is no it will just be for Christmas. I will be posting pictures hopefully next week of my house decorated for Christmas so hopefully this little guy will look good and if not then back to Target he goes. Well, I will see you tomorrow and if your like me then you are getting everything ready for Thanksgiving.

Lots of Love,  Natalie

Magazine Heaven

I absolutely love to shop at Target and I love home décor. Honestly, I think Jay questions if I love it more than I love him. Well Target is a close second. Anyway Target has started doing the Shops at Target. For those of you that do not know what I am talking about when I say that the Shops at Target. This is when they feature four very successful and trendy stores with lower priced stuff for the Target customer. When I saw the home décor items from Patch NYC I thought I had died and gone to heaven. They featured a lot of black, gold, and white (which I am obsessed with right now) in very classic updated pieces.

When I saw this black and gold classic magazine holder I knew I had to have it! Especially since it was only $34.99!! I mean DIE!! I knew exactly where I would put it.

I believe it is a gorgeous new addition to my newly redecorated room in Jackson. So if you haven’t been into Target recently I suggest you go check it out and maybe you will find something you love just like I did! See you again tomorrow!
