Easter Egg dying Idea

I have always loved dying Easter eggs with the family! We always do it the good ol' classic way, with a kit. We got creative once we learned about the white crayon trick, but for the most part we stick to the dyes and colors we get. This year I found a new fancy way to dye your eggs! I have never tried it myself and since it is so close to Easter now it might have to wait a year. Still, I thought I would share it with you all.

 I thought these were so neat and pretty. I hope to give this a try sometime. It didn't seem to be too complicated. Here are a few sites with directions on how to do these yourself!

Wish List Wednesday

Since I have been all about the spring and new spring trends I thought I would keep that theme going for this Wish List Wednesday edition. This week is going to be about spring jackets I wish to have. I have two different kinds and they are both hot for this season, the blazer and the jean jacket.

Blazers

All three of these blazers are from forever21. I really like the top one for a nice casual funky look. The other two pink ones would be good for day and night wear. They can also be professional and casual. The bright and pastel colors are spring trends also.

Jean Jackets

These are from Forever21 and the last one is from Urban Outfitters. The top two are classic jean jacket looks and the rest are the classic jacket with a twist. I have seen some people sporting the cut off jean vest and I love it. I just don't know if I could pull it off. The lace and leopard jackets are so fun. One is edgy and the other feminine. All in all so fun and fashionable!
I am not much of a jacket wearing but these are two trends I would want to invest in. They both could work through fall as well. Hopefully I can find a decent priced one of each! I will keep wishing!

My Outfit

Another spring trend! Here is another outfit I put together from my new clothes. Chiffon and color blocking are the trends I worked in this outfit.

Top: Ragstock

Skirt: Ragstock

Capri Leggings: Heartbreaker

I love the coral color of this skirt. It is the best pop of color. This has also become one of my new favorite shirts. Chiffon is perfect for spring. Its light and can come in so many colors, styles, and patterns. I am loving spring!

Bon Appetit

I am a big snacker and I love making little stops at local shops for a quick delicious bite to eat! I just wanted to share a few tasty treats I have been enjoying! And in case you need an idea of where to get some nice food in Mankato, I will help you out!

 I love the Coffee Hag! They always have the most delicious treats! In the first picture I had a St. Patty's day drink and scone. My scone is a mint and dark chocolate one, and in the second picture its a brownie with powder sugar! YUM! Both these drinks are my spring and summer time favorites, a chocolate milk with Irish cream syrup and the other is a vanilla Italian cream soda.

This is delicious chicken and sausage gumbo from the wonderful Pappa George! This is a local bar and restaurant. They are known for steaks and their hospitality! I have known the owners forever and I babysit their son, little Pilot! When I had this gumbo for dinner I ended up ordering a second bowl! Haha that's how good it was.

I am OBSESSED with Tandem Bagels! Mankato finally got their bagel shop back! This place makes the best bagels, cream cheeses, sandwiches, soups, salads, and treats! I ate their 3 days in a row this week. Their pizza bagels are to die for..or at least to wait in line for a long time!

Hope everyone is eating local and enjoying what food your town has to offer!

What I've been Wearing

Spring is in full bloom! And so is my spring trend outfits. I have been loving a lot of the spring trends this year. I have been wearing floral prints, bright colors, colored shorts, cowboy boots, and some chiffon (my new love!). Here are a few looks I put together. More too come later too!

Name tag hehe

 Dress- Ragstock

Cardigan- H&M

Belt- Forever21 (came with a skirt)

Tights- Target

Boots- Ragstock/Vintage

There is just something about cowboy boots that make me think of nice spring weather! I love this pair with all the fringe on it, they add a little fun and a twist to my outfit. Floral prints are always big for spring. I like this dress a lot because the darker tones make it a year round dress. It is also light and flowy, making it great to just throw on or make fashionable.

Top- forever21

Tank- Ragstock

Shorts- Ragstock

Bright colored pants and shorts are huge this spring. I wasn't to into it until I saw this mint shorts. I love the color! My crop top, also a big trend lately, used to not need a tank under it until I washed it and it shrunk. Boo. I am really into my coral nail polish too. It wasn't even a dull dark winter, but bright colors just put me in a great mood

What are your favorite spring trends to rock?

Happy Spring!

Hello!! I just wanted to pop in and say Happy Spring! It is now officially the bright colorful warm season! I will be back to blog about fashion, activities, and crafts soon! Until then, go outside and enjoy this time of year!

Spring Time Outfit

Spring and Fall are my favorite fashion times! They are both just warm and cool enough to wear light bold styles. I finally got to pull out my delightful dresses. Spring also inspires me to wear more accessories and nicer shoes. No snow for water stains, and not too hot for my feet! Here is the first spring fashion outfit I rocked out.

Dress: A boutique in CO

Shoes: Hot Topic

Belt: Target

Earrings: Urban Outfitters 

This outfit was so fun and cute! It will definitely make a comeback! What is your favorite spring outfit?

Its been high 50's to 60's the past few days! So beautiful and delightful out! After spending time outdoors and using my great camera I think it is time to do my first Photo Dump!

What I have been Wearing

It is getting more and more like spring!! I can't wait to be able to show a little leg or not always have a cardigan or sweatshirt on. But since it is still a little chilly here are some outfits I have put together to keep me warm but give me a spring feel.

Shirt- Charlotte Russe

Jeans- Old Navy

 A shirt similar to this was on Pretty Little Liars and my post Wish List Wednesday. I loved that shirt and then I happened to just stumble upon it while shopping! So happy! I also wore it with my pleather leggins and it looked very chic. This top is definitely a new favorite.

Scarf- Charlotte Russ

Cardigan- H&M

T-shirt- Target

Tank- Victoria's secret

Leggins- Target

This has become my lazy casual winter outfit. It keeps me covered and adds color but is still comfortable and easy to throw on. I can mix and match my Ts and tanks too. 

What comfortable fashions do you wear during the colder months?
