STRIPES ARE A SUMMER TREND

Well, the countdown has started again! I know a lot of you are new to my blog so you might not know that last year a couple of my blog readers and I were supposed to attend the Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam in Panama City Beach. This is a yearly 3-day event held over Labor Day weekend. Joe and I had already left the house heading that way when I got the email that the event had been canceled.Last year Hurricane Hermine decided to hit land exactly at Panama City Beach. The event had to be canceled because there was no way they could get everything set back up in time. I was disappointed but I can’t imagine how deeply that hurt the economy in Panama City Beach and I hated seeing the devastation of such beautiful property. Our tickets were reissued for this year’s event and I hope to have a blast. Honestly, Joe and I are not huge concert go’ers so this will really be pushing us out of our comfort zone. I hope to meet up with the ladies who won the tickets last year and if any of you want to join us just let me know. The event starts Friday, September 1st, and will also continue to Saturday and Sunday. The headliners this year are Jason Aldean, Little Big Town, and Luke Bryan. If you are interested in tickets there is a link in my sidebar that will take you to the website. You know I will be talking more about this in some of my upcoming posts.Too much color? Is there such a thing? Hahaha! I love combining hot pink and yellow, I think they go so well with each other. See here. I can’t remember where I bought this top, I have several cardigans in very similar colors. I love a 3/4 sleeve because I think it makes you look slimmer when the sleeve hits at that point. Even when I have a long sleeve sweater or top on I will usually push the sleeves up which gives you the same look.

The funny thing is that when I first got these bright yellow earrings I didn’t really like them. However, both of my daughter-in-laws were here at the time I opened them and they both went wild for them. Lol! The Adella earrings have grown on me since then and they look much better on than they did in the box. The Jenna necklace is another one of my purchases that had to grow on me. I didn’t really like all the beads, it reminded me of something a child would string at Christmas. I think it reminded me of those fruit loop chains I have seen on Christmas trees. Lol! BUT, now I find myself wearing it more and more often. What the heck do I know?? You can’t see my bling bracelets in this picture but they are the Broedrick, Flynn, and the Hugo. I had on one more but it was a special that has since been discontinued.I know a lot of you have been eyeing these shoes. These were my Christmas present from Ashleigh this last year. I love the style and the color but I have had a hard time figuring out how to wear them. I am not used to a round toe and that threw me, they are muted fall colors but when it was winter they seemed too bright. Anyway, after I put them on they looked so cute that I now can’t wait for fall to get here because I think they will go with a lot of fall colors.

I bought this top just this week. I went to Cato’s and found a few things on the clearance rack. Now is a great time to do some shopping on the clearance racks in all the stores. I looked on the Cato website through all 480 tops but I couldn’t find this one. Oh well, check your local store if you like it. Lol!

I know I am biased when it comes to Rodan +Fields. I loved the products first and then I have come to love the business. BUT, the thing is that I am not the only one loving the business. This is what Forbes magazine recently said in their 3rd article that they have written about R+F.

“With the U.S. becoming increasingly dominated by Rodan + Fields, other countries may not be far behind. Rodan + Fields launched in Canada in 2015, and will soon be launching in Australia. What may be lacking, however, is the people that still have yet to recognize that selling via a direct marketing sales avenue – sometimes referred to as a multi-tier marketing business – is not what it used to be, and it’s definitely not something to ignore. Community commerce is a growing trend in retail that Rodan + Fields may be leading, but others are certainly trying to follow.”

Doesn’t that make you at least curious? Why would a finance magazine write about a skincare company? I can see why Allure and other beauty magazine are always doing articles about the “must” have products, but I didn’t expect to see business articles. Lol!

You know when you put a post on FaceBook you wait to see if you will get any “likes” or “hearts?” That is how I feel about my blog. Leaving a comment and pinning a picture to Pinterest is my equivalent to a “like.” If you share my post on FaceBook that is a “heart.” Show me some love, gurls!!!
