Shop For A Cause!

It’s finally Friday peeps!

I love shopping & dogs.  Here are some dog-related products that have a portion of their proceeds donated to dog and animal charities!  You can rep your support for the pups, and give back at the same time. Get a lil something for yourself, and purchase some gifts for the dog lovers in your life!

1. Save All The Dogs T-shirt: You may recognize this from being shared in a previous post, but it is just too good.  Their net proceeds go to a different shelter or rescue each month.

2. Dog Bone Necklace: Marcie, the owner of the Etsy shop, Beau & Stella, named her shop after her two rescue dogs. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the necklace will go to local animal shelters, including P.A.W.S., the shelter Marcie rescued Beau from after Hurricane Katrina.

3. Dog Trust Mug: Perfect for a coffee lover and dog lover! Fenella Smith, a British homeware designer, created this mug using her brother Gregor’s illustrations.  This product was inspired by Fenella’s two rescue dogs, Bramble and Fox, and a portion of the proceeds go toward Dogs Trust, a UK humane organization.

4. Found My Animal Teal Ombre Dog Collar & Dog Leash: These are available in many different colors and are so chic! Your pups will be struttin! Check out all of the different shelters and rescues that they have donated to linked here.

5. 2013 ONEHOPE California Pinot Noir: I have not tried this wine yet, but it is on my list to bring to my friend’s and my monthly wine club.  Half of proceeds go towards helping fund pet adoptions!

6. I Just Want To Hang With My Dog T-shirt: I really just want to hang with my dog, all day, errry day.  20% of proceeds are donated to animal charities, and the current recipient is the shelter, Felines and Canines, based in Chicago, IL.

7. DreamDoggy Dog Bed: For those of you like me, you want a dog bed that your dog will enjoy, but one that also fits in with your home decor. DreamDoggy has many cute dog bed fabric colors and patterns, and also sells extra bed sheets to help with destructive and/or dirty pups 😉 10% of the proceeds go to the Beagle Freedom Project to help rescue beagles from a life lived in product and cosmetic testing laboratories.

Happy shopping!

Happy Mother’s Day!

May 10, 2015 — Leave a comment

Happy Mother’s Day to all you hot mamas out there!

Screen Shot 2015-05-10 at 3.44.15 PM

I wanted to take today to share an awesome mama run business that I love!  My cousin, Colleen K, has a great friend (our honorary cousin), Colleen B.  Colleen B and her friend, Colleen S, started the sweetest business called Mama Said Tees!

Mama Said Tees’ goal is to bring positive messages to the world through fashionable tees for adults and kids and, let me tell you, they are so cute!  My favorite, by far, is their “Kind Is The New Cool” tee. You can follow Mama Said Tees on Instagram, and they have freaking adorable pictures.  Many of these pictures are products being modeled by their own kiddos!

Colleen B’s son, Aden 🙂

Favorite Things-April 2015

Another month, another list of favorites…

1. Jennifer Hudson Carpool Karaoke: From The Late Late Show with James Corden.  This is hysterical!  I have had this playing on repeat like it is a single.  I wish I could hang out with them 😉

2. Half Up Knot Hair Tutorial: The perfect combo of romantic and simple.  I don’t like to put a ton of work into doing my hair, but need to branch out a bit.  I’m gonna have to try this!

3. Vegan Leather Tote: Looks similar to a very popular Rebecca Minkoff bag, but vegan!  Love!

4. Kendra Scott Abra Double Band Ring: I have mixed feelings about Kendra Scott jewelry.  Some I like, but I feel it has been VERY overdone in the blogging community.  This ring, however, I haven’t seen too much of and I like that it can be both a statement ring, and a dainty detail.

5. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: I cannot recommend this show enough.  It is hilarious…quirky humor + 90s references and I’m sold.  Go watch it NOW!

6. The Honest Company Multi-Surface Cleaner: Over the past few years I have worked on doing a complete overhaul of all my beauty and cleaning products to switch to cruelty free products.  I am very passionate about protecting and rescuing animals.  The Honest Company products are not only cruelty free, but also non-toxic and safe.  This multi-surface cleaner has the scent of white grapefruit and makes it so much easier to do spring cleaning.  It fills your home with a wonderful aroma!

I hope you’ll check some of these out!

Easter Outfit Ideas

April 2, 2015 — Leave a comment

I remember growing up getting a new “Easter outfit” every year, but as I got older, this tradition was broken.  I decided to bring it back this year, and got myself some new Easter digs! (I will have to share after Easter!)  I was drawn to the typical pastels and florals, as well as some sparkly details.

Here are some other potential Easter looks!

Floral Dress, Cross Necklace, Studded Flats (I need these!)

Cinderella

March 30, 2015 — Leave a comment

I’m basically a little girl trapped in a 20-something’s body.  I am currently drinking pink lemonade and have High School Musical playing in the background. I always check out the little girl’s shoe section at Target AND have purchased some. I’ve seen the new Cinderella movie twice now….and will probably go again soon!

The new Cinderella movie is stunning…between the art direction, the costumes, the moment the Prince and Ella meet…ahh, *heart flutters!*  The Prince and Ella are b-e-a-utiful!

Actress, Lily James, had a few of her own Cinderella moments while on the red carpet at the Cinderella premieres.  I am kind of obsessed with these looks.  Light, romantic makeup and hair, shimmering gowns, and magical accessories.  Straight up perfection!

Favorite Things-March 2015

Favorite Things March 2015

These are a few of my favorite thingsss…

These are a few tried and true favorites, as well as some items I’ve had my eye on for a while!

1. Trader Joe’s Fireworks Chocolate: Baby you’re a firework! I got this as a treat for my guy and I on Valentines Day, mostly based on the packaging. I have since bought like 10 of these bars. It’s a mix of dark chocolate, hot spice, salt, and pop rocks. So weird, but so good. Also, it is quite entertaining to give some to an unsuspecting person and watch their reaction as the pop rocks kick in!

2. Stella and Dot Rebel Pendant: I have had this necklace for about two years, and it is such an easy piece to wear. Throw it on by itself or layer it…looks great either way. I have the gold and silver, but get much more wear out of the gold.

3. Asos Dress: It’s currently on sale! This would be a great fall to winter to spring transition piece. Dress it up with heels and a statement necklace, or dress it down with a chunky, long cardigan and ankle boots.

4. Anthropologie Euclidean Pendant: I wish I had somewhere to put this! Love that it is a solid enough to draw the eye to, but is airy and delicate at the same time.

5. I Just Want To Drink Coffee T-shirt: This is my life. On my birthday wish-list.

6. Surf Waiting Painting: Beautiful sea glass colors and serene subject. I could stare at this all day, especially during Michigan winters.

7. T-Swizzle, Style: Okay, first of all, I am so glad that she transitioned to pop.  Second, the guy has two different colored eyes. Stunning! Third, this song reminds me of a love from summers passed. Takes me back to butterflies, high school, and gets me pretty psyched for this upcoming summer.  I could listen to this all day.

What are some of your current favorites?

Up & Running

February 23, 2014 — Leave a comment

All of my posts so far have introductions referring to my surgeries, but that’s my life right now!  Trust me, I can’t wait for it to be done either!

I have known for years that I would need these foot surgeries, so at a certain point I decided to push through workouts with some slightly worn out running shoes.  I didn’t want to buy new ones that might not fit comfortably after the surgery adjustments.

You better believe that since completing the surgeries, I’ve been scoping some out!

Loving all of the bright color combos…

Saucony Womens Guide 7 Running Fit

Dual Fusion 2.0 Nike Nordstrom

Nike Womens LunarEclipse+3 Dicks SG

Gel DS Racer10 Asics Nordstrom

Free 5.0 TR Fit 4 Nike Nordstrom

Last, but certainly not least…

Free 5.0 V4 Nike Nordstrom

I have been OBSESSING over these cheetah Nikes for foreverrrr.  Literally, like a year ago, I was pinteresting while the bf was watching football (typical), and I was like babe, I NEED these.  Luckily now that I am actually in the market for some new sneaks, it is actually a NEED.  Seriously, gimme.

Top to Bottom:

Saucony Women’s Guide 7, Nike Dual Fusion 2.0, Nike LunarEclipse +3, Asics Gel DS Racer10, Nike Free 5.0 TR Fit 4, Nike Free 5.0 V4

Hope you’re having a great weekend!
