Lauren Conrad Bag Haul

It’s been a while but I’m ready to put some new content on Stylish and Trendy. The groundhog saw his shadow Wednesday morning, so that means six more weeks of winter 🥶. However, it’s going to be a quiet week ahead and, except for a few days, not as cold. It’ll be nice to see the sun and let it melt some of the snow outside.

Daylight savings time is just five weeks away, so that’s a sign that Spring isn’t far off either. That means a 7:30pm sunset and hopefully sun and warmer temperatures.

I have been on a shopping spree during the month of January. I bought some nice threads with my Target gift card. My leather leggings and my Vneck look sweet. I also bought a fewmore bags (one with my JCP gift card and two from Kohl’s). I still love my Coach bags but you can never have too many regardless. I did a blog on my Juicy bag a few weeks ago and now it’s time to talk about my cute Lauren Conrad purses.

My twin and fashion buddy loves Lauren Conrad and has one of her books in her house. I showed her the bags I was interested in buying and she and her sister and husband agreed with me. She also loved the colors I came up with as well.

I purchased a crossbody in Dusty Pink (light pink) and a tote in Saddle (brown). I could have gotten a better deal had I purchased them before New Year’s but I still got them Buy One Get One 50% off. The crossbody was half off so that’s better than nothing. I’m pretty satisfied with bags for now so that’ll be it (or will it). My mom might pass me down an rainbow IKEA tote for Galentine’s. Maybe she’s catching on 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ ⚧.

Since I’m good on bags I am stocking up on dresses including a green one which I want to wear to go as Louise 🐰 🔪 to a convention. Maybe just maybe we’ll find a cute dress 👗 in light pink perfect for summer 🍒.

My bags arrived last week and I showed them off though I will need a smaller wallet for my pink crossbody. I have some money left over on that Target gift card (I had $50 which I spent on the leggings and my teal v-neck) so maybe I’ll use it toward that. I took my Lauren tote on my first visit to the Kentlee and might do it again if I make a trip to 512 for their Valentine’s Day specials (you’ll see a blog on that if I go this week).

Sorry about the lack of content lately. It’s just the season and I’m still trying to navigate around my twilight hours at Giant Eagle. Once warmer weather arrives I’ll get out more. This week’s forecast might just be enough for me to get out’n about.

I think the pink Lauren crossbody purse would be perfect for a trip to the zoo or a day trip to Pittsburgh or Ligonier. Pair it with a button down shirt or T-shirt and jeans and sandals 👡 (or comfy shoes if you’re doing a lot of walking). The brown tote is what I take on Target runs or trips to the grocery store. I wish I did order these bags before New Year’s Day, so I could show them off to Sara and Rob and Rae on our Ice Fest Adventure a few weeks ago.

I love the picture of my sisters and me posing with our bags in the Ligonier Diamond in front of the gazebo. One of the best moments from a great day with my sisters, along with watching Stepbrothers and exchanging gifts at the Wicked Googly. Don’t forget, when they told me how proud of me they were for being myself.

January 2022 Rewind

The first month of 2022 has come and gone. It was a cold and snowy month weatherwise and, it was a return to what made my 2021 so successful. That says a lot in these trying times of seasonal depression and sad things happening in the world.

The beginning of the month was rainy and, like Christmas a week before, was uneventful. All the hype leading up to the rocket launch just to have it be a dud. I drove out to Washington to the Coach Outlet to pick up a few Coach charms and then up to South Hills Village for some shopping.

I checked out ULTA and snagged some great deals. Then I went up to Barnes and Noble but couldn’t find what I was looking for. Eventually I made my way home in the rain. It looked nothing like a White Christmas or New Year’s Day to write home about.

Eventually January became more like it should be. We got our first big storm the evening of January 6. I was clearing off my car early the next morning leaving Giant Eagle around 2am. But it was nothing like the storm which brought us nine inches on Martin Luther King Day. A few days later we were greeted with frigid temperatures and bone chilling cold. It would be perfect weather for the upcoming IceFest in Ligonier.

January 3 was the final regular season home game for Big Ben as it was confirmed he would retire at the end of the season. Steeler Nation was hoping for one final playoff push before Ben called it a career. Everything went right for the Steelers to advance to the postseason. Unfortunately they’d come up short against the #2 seeded Kansas City Chiefs in the Wild Card playoff game. Roethlisberger would announce his retirement the week after. Steeler Nation shed a tear when it was official.

We had our long awaited gift exchange a few weekends ago in Ligonier during the Ice Festival. I met Rob and Sara, as well as Rae, for lunch at the Wicked Googly. We caught up and we exchanged our gifts. I even showed the girls and Rob some outfit ideas and they all agreed. I loved the Beauty Box I got from Rob and Sara as well as the travel case.

I spent the rest of the day with the girls and had some sweet vegetarian tacos for dinner at Rob and Sara’s house. The girls and I watched Stepbrothers and swooned over Harry Styles. Sara and I even watched a few episodes of Jane the Virgin. She recommended it to me last year and I really enjoyed it. I know, straight out of a telenovela right? It’s always hard to part ways with her and Rob because Sara always gets me and knows what I’m going through. Until next time, when we can have a belated Galentine’s Day celebration.

I had a pretty good clothing and accessories haul this month as I used my Target and JCPenney gift cards. I got the most out of those. I plan on using my Amazon to buy a sketchbook (I saw this book on Modern Fashion Illustration at the back of my Harry Styles magazine and want to buy it). I snagged some amazing fashionwear from Old Navy and plan on getting more at the end of the month with my Super Cash.

I’ll close off the blog by being real and not act like I’m living my life on social media. Not everything is what it’s “post” to be sometimes.

The last part of this month saw me struggling with anxiety. Maybe it was the weather or what’s going on in our world. Part of it was looking back on past work experiences (going back to my Kings days). In the past I’ve had some bad experiences with my superiors. Their anger wasn’t directed at me but I had to hear a lot of the yelling and frustration and I took it personally (more at WIS). I wish I would have had a better attitude and looked at things long term (more at Kings, less at WIS). Maybe things would be different but then again, I would not have the experiences I had a few years that made me who I am today.

For the first time in 22 years (pre-college), I’m not regularly attending church. I’m not chalking that up to the fact that I have a new job that requires me to work weekends. I realized that I need a break right now and I do plan to return to services down the road. I give myself props because I started attending in college when most kids get away from their faith and live the campus life.

I had some regrets over the holiday season by not attending but in the end I think I made the right decision.

My First Visit to The Kentlee

It was a week late but, today was my first visit to the Kentlee, the newest coffee shop in town. After my experience this morning, it won’t my last visit either.

The Kentlee opened in November of 2011. It’s located along Route 30 where Stickley Audi & Company was located. The building also houses a tech company as well. The Kentlee held a tasting event in September prior to its opening.

I was greeted by Katie, who took great care of me and filled my order well. I had her make me a custom order macchiato and I also ordered a pepperoni wrap. The wrap had mozzarella and provolone cheese, spinach, pepperoni, and vodka sauce.

I asked about the inspiration for the business name. The owner, Kendra, used her dad’s first name and her mother’s maiden name. Katie, who took care of my order this morning, is a Hempfield Area graduate and has had Mr. Clougherty as a teacher. She also belonged to the Hempfield Aqua Club in middle school.

It was very quiet this morning while I was there. I was the only customer and there was one who came in and placed an order to go. The weekends are usually busier as well as the few evenings they are open. I’ll be making a return trip next week so I can meet Kendra.

There’s an indoor seating area but, they have an outdoor patio as well. That’ll get used more as the weather warms up in the Spring and Summer months. I can’t to have an iced coffee on a day and introduce some of my friends and family to this place.

Saturday is College Apparel Day at the Kentlee. I won’t be able to attend since my job requires me to work late and I would be sleeping during their hours of operation. For my first trip to the Kentlee this morning, I wore my green and white (Kendra attended Slippery Rock University for a year before transferring to IUP). Katie attended IUP as well and has a degree in Communications Media. If I could go back in time and pick another major, that would have been my field of study (with a minor in Photography).

I want try the reverse iced coffee next time, as well as their dirt. Those pop tart flavors are tempting. Sara would love those vegetarian options for sure.

Great TV Dads

On January 9, the world lost another great TV icon. Losing Betty White was bad enough. Now it was Bob Saget. I’m losing these links to my childhood left and right. I spent the night cleaning the house (not really).

As a kid, I never knew that Bob Saget was a vulgar comedian. Just like I never knew that George Carlin said “Seven Words You Can’t Say on Television”. Bob Saget to me played a loving father and also narrated humorous home videos, and George Carlin was a storyteller who enlightened me with trains.

This blog post is not just about Bob Saget but a few great TV dads. Saget shot to fame as widowed father Danny Tanner on Full House and Fuller House as well as the original host of America’s Funniest Home Video. He was also the voice of adult Ted Mosby on How I Met Your Mother for nine seasons on CBS. I think that’s one role of his that slid under the radar.

When you think of great TV Dads in history, you think of the originals like Andy Taylor, Ward Cleaver, Mike Brady, or Howard Cunningham. Archie Bunker and George Jefferson, while being famous TV characters who were controversial, don’t count because their children were grown during the show’s run. My top TV Dads came from my time. I’m a child of the 80s and came of age in the best decade that was the 90s. I’m also going to include some cartoon dads as well.

Phillip Banks (James Avery) is one of my favorite TV Dads because he took in his nephew and treated him like a son. He was strict but fair and wasn’t afraid to drop the hammer on Will (Will Smith) when needed. One of my favorite Fresh Prince episodes was the one where Will’s dad comes to visit and wants to get his son back in his life. Uncle Phil sees right through this and knows Lou (Ben Vereen) was up to no good and he was right. Lou walks out of Will’s life once again, leaving his son devastated. The hug that James and Will shared and the credits focused on that father and son sculpture had me crying.

Homer Simpson is one of the best cartoon dads to most people but he is buffoonish in my opinion. Peter Griffin? Don’t get me started please. I think of Hank Hill as a great animated TV dad. He’s a family man with a great job and he’s the voice of reason among his beer drinking friends. He’s flawed because he doesn’t have a great relationship with his grizzled WWII vet father, and he feels like he’s failed his son. That boy ain’t right. Despite all his imperfections, he tries hard. He and Bob Belcher try at least unlike the other cartoon dads.

Bob Belcher is also up there as one of my favorite TV dads. Yes it’s a cartoon I know, get over it. People have made videos on YouTube speculating how he and wife Linda can afford everything on the very little income he makes running his burger restaurant. I’d love to live in that sweet little apartment and get to know the man behind the grill, or even drink a little wine with Linda. Bob’s favorite is definitely Louise for sure but he tries to cater to all three of his kids. Bob/Louise and Bob/Gene episodes are the best in my opinion.

There’s many more TV dads who are great but talking about them would keep me up all night plus it’d be a very long winded blog.

An ULTAmate Gift Exchange

Yesterday I met my siblings in Ligonier for a long awaited gift exchange. Sara and I texted each other on when a perfect day to meet up would be. If not for my work schedule and the snow, it would have been last week. We agreed on yesterday and it couldn’t have been any more perfect.

We had lunch at the Wicked Googly. I met Rob, Sara, and Rae at Noon for lunch just as we had planned. Rob and Sara had their gift ready for me and I had mine for them. I’ll get Rae’s to her soon. Maybe I can talk her into Acapulco for dinner some night. I found their booth where they were sitting and we all greeted each other.

We ordered our food and then we exchanged gifts. I gave Sara and Rob theirs first and they loved what I got them. Sara was more than happy that I got her some Burt’s Bees 🐝 and I figured Rob would love The Office page-a-day calendar (they’re big Office fans).

I opened my gifts next. I loved the gift tag Sara put on the top present so much that I took a picture of it. It was a travel case from ULTA that I could take makeup in, with Woody and Buzz from Toy Story (they teamed up with Pixar). The next gift was a gel mask from ULTA. See where I’m going with this? The last gift was a beauty box with many different eye shadows, lip gloss, blush, eye pencils, and bronzers. You might say it was an ULTAMATE gift exchange.

While we were at lunch, I looked some outfit ideas for Spring from Old Navy and Target. I showed my sisters some dresses I’m interested in purchasing as well as couple of blouses, and even a beret. James in Paris.

We checked out the ice sculptures, got some pictures in front of the gazebo, and ordered some Ice Fest coffee from Abigail’s. We didn’t stay in Ligonier too long after lunch and decided to make our way up to Johnstown. Sara asked me if I wanted to have tacos for dinner with her and Rae. I wasn’t doing anything at home anyways so I took the offer and ended up having a great time.

We watched Stepbrothers on Netflix. They’ve got that movie down pat and had me quoting it by the end. We were were like three girls looking at old high school yearbooks as we swooned over Harry Styles. (Sara and I both love Harry and he’s inspired me in my gender nonconformity journey). I think Rob felt like the only actual male at the table yesterday.

I’m a completely different person around my “sisters” and that person really comes out and is not afraid to be themselves. We were chatting up a storm in the kitchen and at lunch as well. I wish I could be more like this at home and that my family could be more accepting of who I am.

The tacos were amazing. Sara made them with chick peas, cauliflower, and tofu as she is vegetarian. We had a emotional moment while she was preparing dinner when she and Rae told me how proud they were of me for being confident and finding myself. I’m blessed to call them my sisters.

We all tried to fix my purse as my scarf got stuck in the zipper. Rob tried to fix it, Sara tried using her tweezers, no luck. I borrowed some scissors from Christmas and that did the trick. I had to cut a few holes in my cheetah scarf but you hardly notice them. I’d have rather lost the scarf than ruin a beautiful Coach purse. By the way I ordered my Lauren Conrad purses on kohls.com.

After watching some Jane the Virgin together for the first time, I headed out around 9. We’re making some future plans to talk on FaceTime once a week so we’re visiting each other every few months. We’re not just siblings, we’re twins. We’re going to do a Galentines Day get together in the Spring and a Phipps visit as well as Tekko in the Summer.

Yesterday definitely made up for the miserable Christmas I had.

One Day at a Time Review

I just finished One Day at a Time tonight. There’s a fourth season which aired on PopTv but ended quickly due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The show was officially cancelled soon after.

I was inspired to check out this show after seeing two of its stars in recurring roles on Jane the Virgin. Justina Machado stars as Penelope Alvarez, a single mom and former U.S. Army Nurse Corps veteran who suffers from PTSD. She goes to therapy to deal with her anxiety and depression. Rita Moreno is Penelope’s old school mother, Lydia. She always talks about her days living in Cuba and being a dancer and performer. She fled the country after Fidel Castro seized power.

Here are five reasons why you’ll like the show.

It’s a progressive show that tackles major issues that Latin families deal with. I can relate to some of those issues (mental health, gender identity).

Norman Lear created it. He’s still got it even in his late 90s. I hope he lives to see his 100th this year since Betty White didn’t. Lear also brought us Sanford and Son, Maude, Good Times, the original One Day at a Time, The Jeffersons, and of course All in the Family. They covered a lot of social issues on All in the Family and that’s what made it so popular in its heyday.

The cast is amazing and plays well off of each other. Rita Moreno looks very youthful for her age. The actor who plays Schneider (Todd Grinnell) is hilarious. Justina Machado does the starring role justice and brings a lot of emotion to it as well. Elena is probably my favorite though and the one I can relate to the most.

The guest stars on the show are easily recognizable. Dr. B’s female friend is Alba from Jane the Virgin. Lydia’s sisters are Gloria Estefan and Liz Torres. Estefan sings the theme song to the show. Two of the other family members are Stephanie Beatriz and Melissa Fumero from Brooklyn Nine Nine. Mackenzie Phillips has a recurring role as the PTSD counselor, Pam. She was in the original show. Glenn Scarpelli was the hotel receptionist in one of the episodes when Elena and Syd wanted to plan a getaway. He too was in the original series later in its run.

I loved how Penelope treated Schneider like a member of the family. He was a second father to the kids as Penelope’s ex was never in the picture, plus he accepted Elena for who she was. The episode where Lydia and Schneider become American citizens was one of my favorites, as was the funeral episode.

If you’re looking for a great Netflix show that will make you laugh but also feel emotional, check out this one.

Happy 💯 Betty White

For those of you reading this when I post it, Monday is Betty White’s 100th birthday.

The iconic actress passed away on New Year’s Eve, breaking many hearts when they saw the news. I saw it posted on Facebook and didn’t think it was real. Then I went online and saw the news for myself. It was revealed on January 10 that she passed away after suffering a stroke, according to CNN.

We all thought she would live to be 100 on January 17. Despite the fact she’s not here physically, I think everyone should celebrate. Watch your favorite Golden Girls episode or find clips of her best Rose Nylund moments on YouTube. I’m sure there’s a great St. Olaf story that will make you laugh.

I know, Betty White did more than just Golden Girls. Most of us may remember her from the Mary Tyler Moore show as the host of The Happy Homemaker Sue Ann Nivens. Some of us may remember her from The Family sketches (and even the early run of Mama’s Family) as Mama’s hoity toity, snobbish daughter Ellen, or even her starring role in TVLand’s Hot in Cleveland.

Betty White loved her husband of 18 years, Allen Ludden. He passed away in 1981 and is best known as the host of various reincarnations of Password. White was a regular on Password and many other game shows such as Match Game, To Tell the Truth, and $25000 Pyramid. Ludden and White met on Password, and proposed to her twice before she accepted. They appeared in a couple of theatre productions before they were married in June of 1963.

While Betty White was off the radar for a white, she regained popularity after appearing in The Proposal in 2009 with Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. Ryan Reynolds honored Betty White with an emotional tweet. Here is that tweet.

“The world looks different now. She was great at defying expectation. She managed to grow very old and somehow, not old enough. We’ll miss you, Betty. Now you know the secret.”

The last line of Reynolds’ tweet is a throwback to a moment in an interview where White shared a quote from her mother about death. It’s enough to make you tear up, so if you’ve managed to dry your eyes by now — grab some more tissues.

“My mother had the most wonderful approach … we know almost everything in the world, but we don’t know what happens in that moment … so whenever we lose somebody, she’d say ‘now he knows the secret.’”

Tomorrow I will watch some of the best Rose episodes from Golden Girls, in honor of Betty White’s 100th birthday. Maybe I’ll have have a slice of cheesecake and tell some crazy St. Olaf story that bores everyone. Or, I’ll post pictures of dogs and cats in honor of her love of animals, which is another blog post for another day.

Happy 💯 in heaven. Betty White.

Thank you for being a friend.

Juicy Bag Try-on

Tuesday afternoon, I drove up to JCPenney to pick up my new bag I purchased with my JCP gift card. It’s a cute little crossbody in hot pink. I have two totes from Coach plus a satchel, and this one from Juicy Couture. Lauren Conrad is still on my list but I don’t know if it’ll be a crossbody or a tote. Kohl’s has a great selection too, especially online. I’m leaning on a brown or light pink colored bag.

I had my first taste of a Jersey Mike’s sub from the new location in Greensburg. They’re in the same plaza as Five Guys 🍔 and Chipotle 🌶. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak without the onions (I know, sacrilege right) and it was good. I still got the peppers 🫑 on it (what’s a Cheesesteak sandwich without them). My order was ready for me when I arrived, it tasted good, and it was worth the price. You get what you pay for at Jersey Mike’s (better quality than the Subway that used to occupy that plaza). They get an A in my book for their service.

Here’s my new Juicy Couture bag with a few scenarios attached.

It’s a mild Spring day, but not to the point where you can lose the jacket quite yet. My friend and meet up for coffee. I show up in black jeans with a warm colored top and a pastel colored jacket with my Juicy crossbody. The bag makes a nice fashion statement and I get a nice compliments from my friends and the staff who work there. I blog about the experience and give the business a nice shoutout. If you’re interested to know where we went, it was the Kentlee.

The next scenario has me and a couple of friends meeting up at Sheetz just past the mall. We’re going to order some lunch to take on our picnic at Twin Lakes. I get my wallet out of my Juicy bag to pay for our subs. I’m wearing the same outfit I wore for my coffee date at the Kentlee but with a pair of sandals this time around. I’m rocking the slides on this warm Spring day and a pair of fashionable sunglasses.

The final scenario has me making the most of a great day on the Diamond in my little Stars Hollow. We just stopped into the Creamery to indulge in sundaes and we are enjoying ourselves watching people walk on by. We get some pictures of each other. My friends get some really nice shots of me with my Juicy bag visible. We call it a day and my pics are uploaded to my phone. I never looked more fabulous than I did here. Slay🔥 🔥 🔥.

I work hard so I like to look good when I’m out and about. I have amazing fashion sense and my adopted momma will be coming for me when she wants to pick out a great outfit. I hope you found these scenarios enjoyable and my blog post fashionable.

Friendship is Magic

I attended my final Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting this evening… as a guest. Before we started our program, founding club president Sharon Joseph addressed all our guests who were attending in person and virtually. She praised me for my personality and my blog and was excited about me joining very soon.

Sharon discussed the “Mission of a Toastmasters Club” and introduced the Toastmaster of tonight’s meeting, club secretary Lisa Shorter. Tonight was Lisa’s first go-round performing that meeting role. She went over the agenda for tonight’s meeting. It looked like it would be a great one with three speakers and a fun Table Topics session.

Nick Cecchetti, Laurel Highlands Tech Master, gave us the word of the day, which was fellowship. Ryan Jacobs gave us the invocation and it tied in with the theme of the meeting. He also paid homage to the late Betty White. Andrea Michaux made us laugh with the joke of the day, which was what the difference was between bird flu and swine flu.

Judy Eans, Chuck Hubbell, and Sharon Joseph were the three speakers for the night. Judy’s speech was about friendship. She talked about the best way to make friends. She also told us that not all friends are worth keeping. She also explained the different groups of friends we make. The message I took from this was to choose your friends wisely.

Chuck was the second speaker of the night. I met him in person at the red carpet event in November, with his red hat and red jacket. He talked to us in his speech about where the magic is. He told us never to quit, to find something you love doing, and to get paid for that.

Sharon capped off the speaking portion of the meeting by giving us a halftime report. She highlighted what Laurel Highlands is doing right and how they can improve. It takes the same energy to go back as it does to go forward. The takeaways I picked up from her speech were to be humble and teachable, and to be a good friend.

Janet Fraser was our Table Topics master, and her topics centered around Betty White. We had three speakers and all of them gave great answers. They honored the great legacy Betty White left for us, and that’s what the people of St. Olaf would have wanted. It gave me the inspo for a future blog honoring two great television icons, Betty White and Bob Saget.

Ryan Jacobs was our general evaluator and for the sake of the guests, explained what the GE does. We also got to meet his daughter, the youngest guest in the history of Toastmasters. Our evaluators all provided great feedback and gave great pointers for future speeches. I hope to have Andrea evaluate me when I give a speech in the future at Laurel Highlands. Ryan gave great feedback for the meeting and I took away a lot from my visit.

Contest season is here. Laurel Highlands Toastmasters will hold their contest at the their next meeting on January 25, and Area 23/24 will have a joint contest on February 19. Not sure on the location for that upcoming contest but I’ll let you know when I hear more. For now I know all contests in person as it will be easier to switch from in person to virtual if need be.

Target V-neck Sweater and Leather Leggings Fashion Show

My Target haul arrived on Thursday morning. One package came from UPS and the other from FedEx. It took me until evening to realize that my package was sitting on the steps of my front porch (which we never use because the door is caulked shut to keep out the cold air).

When I opened my package from FedEx I saw my leather leggings were in there and intact. I opened my V-neck package earlier in the day. I tried both pieces of clothing on and they fit well. It would be cool to use my friend’s deck to pose in these outfits but we’re not in Johnstown so my studio will have to do for now.

I tried on my leather leggings first and I paired them with my Stars Hollow sweatshirt. I can put these two pieces together and spend some time sitting around the house working on my blog, attending a virtual Toastmasters meeting, or indulging in a good read. Also, I can grab your favorite go-to tote bag (my Target or Coach bag) and go on a Target run or meet friends for breakfast or brunch. I can swap the faux leather for my regular leggings too.

I also paired the faux leather leggings with a pair of suede boots. You can also try a pair of Bearpaws or Uggs or a cute pair of heels. A red blouse with matching stilettos 👠 would be a perfect combo.

The leggings are definitely worth the money.

Don’t judge. I like to tuck my sweaters in or crop them where I see fit. I like to high risemy jeans because 1) I’m self conscious about my appearance and 2) I like the way it looks.

I did post a few pictures of the teal V-neck sweater on Thursday but I took some much improved selfies this evening. I like this look a lot and it would be perfect with a leather jacket and/or an infinity scarf and hat. I think the accessories are key to making this V-neck look great. I love the jeans I paired this sweater with as well. I wore these to Friendsgiving with a red blouse and cheetah scarf.

Any pair would be perfect with this sweater. I’m definitely buying another Vneck sweater and Target is definitely my new go-to place for amazing fashionwear. But don’t count out Old Navy, either.

I bought some charms to put on my Coach bags, one being the cherries that I had my eye on since November. I posed with my bags and those new accessories this morning. They looked so pretty and Sara and her mom were impressed when they saw the pictures this morning.

Here’s what Sara said in the comments about my cherry 🍒 charm.

“ I always think of you when I see cherries now.” Well, I know when and where that all started.

Have a great week everyone. Stay warm. ❤️ you.
