Thursday Thoughts

As soon as Easter is over and my entry table is free I will be lining up three Ball mason jars and putting this gloriousness on that table! Something so simple (mason jars, paint and flowers) can turn into something so darn pretty! I am so smitten with this easy DIY and cannot wait to put into fruition.

The gold is pretty too. I would prefer pink flowers in the gold mason jars as well because gold and pink together are gorgeous, but I honestly prefer the metallic silver over the gold.

I am slowly starting to prepare my packing list for New York and it's not an easy task. I'm an over packer, there I said it. I'm that girl who packs 4 pairs of shoes for an overnight trip, yep, that's me! With that being said we've also never flown before and thus never had to check bags and had a limit to what we could bring. Sure I could pack a ton of luggage but at $75+ for extra bags, not going to  happen! With that being said it helps me if I write what I'm going to wear each day and night. This way I know exactly what to pack and what to wear. I'm not a fashionista by any means of the word, but this is NYC and I want to look my best. Thank goodness for Pinterest and the several hundred ideas I've gotten just by skimming through. My favorite this week? Chambray. I love the many different looks you can accomplish with a chambray top. I purchased mine from Target for $20 over a year ago and it's such a big closet staple for me. I can mix and match so much with that one top to create an assortment of looks.

That pop of neon with the chambray is stunning and I personally would have never paired the two together. I also love this list of 20 ways to style Chambray. #7, #14, and #19 are my faves, the only change with #19 would be to wear a pair of wedges instead of flats, y'all know I like to be in some tall shoes :)

My monogrammer just sent me a picture of Cadence's Easter basket. She is still going to add polka dots but she knows I'm impatient so she sends me sneak peaks. This is why I love her...

I didn't want to get an Easter themed because we're going to use the basket for other things once Easter is done (storing toys, bows, etc.). I love it and I know one little girl whose going to love it too!

I bought purple Easter grass today. It's the paper kind, not the plastic kind. I got it from the dollar store for $1 per bag and I personally prefer the paper shreds better to the plastic, they're easier clean up as they don't stick to you when you go to take the items out of the basket. Thus far I've purchased a monogrammed Princess Belle shirt to go inside the basket as well as a Princess Anna dress. I'll fill the rest with little treats from Target or the dollar store.

And I leave you with this...
