Poppy Boutique Giveaway

This week's giveaway is from an awesome online boutique called Poppy Boutique. I stumbled upon this fabulous website one day while shopping online. Being a mom, blogger, and part-time dance teacher, I truly have the most respect for women who run their own businesses. Jessica, the brains behind Poppy, is a mom to three children and runs her business. If any of you have children, you know that raising little ones is a full-time job itself! 

Jessica has sweetly offered to let one Fashion and Beauty Finds reader pick a piece of jewelry as the giveaway prize. Sweet deal if you ask me. Enter below!

I will announce the winner on Tuesday, April 9th. And while we are talking about winning, will you do me a HUGE favor and vote for me in the Wallis Blogger Ambassador Contest? You can do that by going and liking the Wallis page here and clicking on 'blogger ambassador contest' and find my picture! Thanks!

* Don't forget about the Keeping It Casual link-up happening tomorrow!

I Love the Flower Girl - Part 3

I Love the Flower Girl - Part 3 by amyshaughnessy on polyvore.com

Today is the last day in my floral trend series. Just to show you how popular the trend is: half of the pictures I saved for this trend series were sold out by the time I was ready to publish each post. Of course, the selection of floral print garments is vast so you should have plenty to choose from should you decide to purchase any.

It seems that I have been including my favorite items at the beginning of each collection. I really love this first long sleeve pink blouse. I think this blouse would look great with a pair of shorts and sandals (you pick your favorite height. I think flats, wedges, or heels would all look stellar with shorts). Fifteen years ago I would have freaked at the idea of wearing a long sleeve shirt with shorts. (I was in high school then so I was pretty much self-conscious about a lot of things). To me, long sleeve shirts were synonymous with winter (as shorts were with summer), so I would have never imagined mixing the two. These days I will try just about anything (except perhaps a dress made of meat; you can leave that to Lady Gaga).

I included a few pairs of floral stud earrings at the end of this collection for those of you who want to try the floral trend but want to do so in a small way. The earrings are delicate and will definitely add a touch of femininity  to your look without being over the top.

I hope you enjoyed your weekend and are ready for the week ahead!

Tribal Prints - Part 3: Accessories

Tribal Prints - Part 3: Accessories by amyshaughnessy on polyvore.com

Calling all minimalists! Here is the last segment in my Tribal Prints series. If head-to-toe tribal prints are too loud for you and separates are still a bit much, then accessories are the best way to capitalize on this funky print trend.

Start with a neutral outfit and add one of these accessories to amp up your look. Just a cute top and shorts would look great with one of the ballet flats. I am loving the Coconuts Brea flat and think it would look super cute with this top and a pair of shorts.

So out of the three segments, which was your favorite overall? I personally like the separates and accessories...although I still can't get over this dress from the first series!
