This weekend I just had to get out of bed and get some fresh air. Nothing's better when you're sick than some fresh air...and a bit of shopping (Old Navy has the best clearance and sales).
Here's what I found in store that's also available online:
I love the color and detail in this top! It's bright, and the fabric is nice and light, which is perfect for layering in spring, and for the hot weather in summer.
Bless the person who made joggers chic enough to dress up and wear anywhere (like errands or to work)--seriously, high fives, y'all deserve an award. And who gets an award for rocking joggers so effortlessly and totally deserving of style envy? Emma Watson. Check out my post,
here, to see how she styled her joggers (and for the broke girl's look alikes).
The clearance racks
always,
always have hidden gems. Anywhere. Whenever I go shopping I make a beeline for the sales section. At Old Navy, for example, I got pants and dresses that normally go for around $30-$45 for only $10 a piece! So, don't ignore the clearance section, because you definitely don't know what you'll find (same can be applied to thrifting, but that's for another post)!
While I was Old Navy, I finally found a pair of aviators that actually flatter my face! I can't even tell you how many pairs I've tried on (the limit does not exist...because it's really been that many). Usually they're awkwardly too small, or the shape is just weird and doesn't work with the shape of my head.
Unfortunately, Old Navy doesn't have as wide of a sunnies selection online as they do in store (*frowny face* here). But, you can find s
imilar ones at Forever21, here. If aviators aren't your thing, check out my post,
here, that has my different picks for summer sunnies!
Our other stop, was Trader Joe's. Now if you don't know what that is, it's like a Whole Foods, but on a smaller scale. They have all sorts of tasty treats there (I love the mochi ice cream bites and the mushroom truffle raviolis!). I've only been one other time before, so I liked just seeing all the different foods they have (I love to eat, so this little outing was perfect!).
Obligatory blogger with pineapple post!
If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, go pick up the Watermelon Cucumber Cooler. It's amazing! It's not overly sweet and tart, it's just right. You could drink it as is, or use as a mixer for the perfect summer drink!
And if you head over to Trader Joe's website, they even have a variety of recipes!
Later in the day, I also tried my hand at a fishtail braid...and then my arms got tired lol. Not too bad for a first time (plus, I can just pass it off as a messy braid look!).
I used this easy tutorial, inspired by Blake Lively's
Age of Adaline movie,
here, on Pinterest! I honestly didn't think that fishtail braids were this easy, but I can proudly say I now know how to do one!
Sunday was very relaxed.
I stopped by Target, just to get out and move around a little.
I use the shopkick app, which is awesome! You earn 'kicks' by scanning certain items (kind of like a scavenger hunt), and when you've earned enough kicks you can turn them into gift cards. I shop at Target
a lot, so I turn my kicks into Target gift cards. Today I earned enough for a $10 gift card. I found the best two toned flats on sale for $14.98, and then used the gift card. So I only spent $4.98 on these super cute shoes that normally are $30!
I would definitely download the shopkick app and give it a shot! It only takes a few seconds, and you earn kicks while you're out doing your errands or shopping at the mall, so why not earn towards some gift cards?! Use my link to sign up (it's compatible with Apple or Android, so everyone wins!):

Oh, and how cute is this Kate Spade Maise look-alike (and at $27, it's over $200 cheaper!)?! Get it online,
here!
How was everyone else's weekend?!
