The weather here has been pretty fantastic lately. The mornings have actually been cool, which for Louisiana is a pretty big deal. I'll take a cool morning in May! 

I wore this the other day to take my mom out to lunch for her birthday. I quickly changed into flats since my ankles have been hurting. I started running a few weeks ago and hurt both of my ankles. I don't have good joints so I should have known not to run. Lesson learned, I will never, ever run again. It's just not for me.

It seems like I've been constantly on the go the past few weeks. Not that I mind; I like staying busy. On Saturday we went to Mass as usual and then my MIL took the two older boys for the rest of the weekend. I got to go by myself to Target that night. It was bliss, let me tell you. I got to linger in the cosmetics section longer than I normally would with my two little wild boys hanging out of the cart. (Last time I went through one of the aisles in the make-up section with my two year old, I ended up with some foundation in my cart that I had not picked up).

I hope you had a great weekend! Be on the lookout for more jewelry giveaways in the near future from my online shop! 

P.S. - I just started using my Instagram account. Find me at @amyshaughnessy1! 

Brush Strokes

Top, skirt (old), sandals, F21 clutch (old), How Gorgeous necklace, lips: MAC Candy Yum Yum

So, you might remember this post from last week where I styled the above dress in an outfit set. Well, the 'dress' came in and it really works more as a top. It's definitely too short to be a dress so I decided to wear it with my leather skirt instead.

Have a great weekend!

Sweet Summer Dresses

I don't think there is anything easier than throwing on a dress and flats in the summer. It's fast and easy and thanks to all of the fun prints available now, you can guarantee that you will look cute. I've styled a few dresses below and now I'm itching to buy them!

Necklace, bracelet, dress, flats, bag

I'm loving the light blue and gold accents in the outfit above. This would be cute for a luncheon or for shopping with friends.

Dress, bag, bracelet, sandals

I love animal prints and the oversize purple and black print of this dress is perfect. I decided to throw in a clutch with another color for a little interest. Not everything has to be perfectly matched.

Which look is your favorite?

I'll announce the giveaway winner tomorrow. Good luck!

Mother's Day Maxi

ASOS maternity dress (shorter length here), Nine West heels, Michael Kors bag, F21 earrings, How Gorgeous necklace (here)

I decided to dress up the day before Mother's Day. We typically go to church on Saturday evenings anyway, so it made sense. I'm actually wearing a maternity dress that I bought to wear to a wedding. I bought it way too small so it's actually just a regular dress now. There was no way my pregnant self would have fit in this dress!

I am also wearing one of my favorite necklaces from my online store, How Gorgeous. This piece is so much fun and will go with so many different outfits.

I hope you had a great weekend, and a relaxing Sunday to all of you fellow mamas out there.

What I'm Wearing... Hopefully

I have been looking online for the past few weeks for something to wear for recital/Mark's baptism. I haven't had much luck until I visited Sheinside. I found two dresses: a casual option that I can wear on weekends and possibly for dress rehearsal, and a 'dressier' version that will work for the performance night and maybe my son's baptism. I wasn't able to get anything with a zipper because that means it has to fit perfectly. My body is still changing and I've made mistakes in the past, buying clothes that fit at the time, only to lose more weight and not be able to wear them anymore. As long as these dresses fit when they come in, I should be good to go!

How Gorgeous

Well, I can finally reveal the 'top secret' project that I have been working on for the past few weeks!

Weeks before I had my baby, I started getting the itch to open a jewelry boutique. I've always thought it would be great to own a boutique but having an actual brick and mortar store has been out of the question. Then it dawned on me. Why not open an online store? And since I have been blogging for a few years, I think (I hope!) I have a good idea of what kind of jewelry other bloggers and women in general like to wear.

Shop these pieces at How Gorgeous

To celebrate the opening of my new store, I am giving away this fun necklace:
