Ava and Viv at Target

Hello there blogger family, sorry I have been a bit MIA lately!  When the heck did it become the middle of June already! Pass me a beach and a margarita please before time runs out and I am back wearing an 8 thousand layer scarf and fuzzy slippers!  Due to my MIA-ness (new word? ) I have been on the road traveling a bit which I can’t complain about.  Before each trip I have the habit of going to Target to get my hygiene products, but then I walk out with a whole new outfit…can I get a witness for who can relate!

As I strolled by the women’s clothing, I pass the maternity section and I always think, “oh that shirt woud be so cute!” but it does say maternity and the only baby bump I have is a food baby after eating a Chiotle burrito.  Feeling a bit discouraged my eyes fall upon Target’s pluz size section with the designer Ava & Viv and I did a bit of an overdramatic gasp in public.   Amazing colors, textures, styles, patterns galore and they were majority on sale!  Now this pluz size section does not consist of ponchos and mumu’s these designs are fit to suit women with curves in all different places that shows them off!  The gem that I walked out with was this neon sheer sleveless tanks that had an open back and front with layering underneath.  Perfect to wear with a suit jacket for work or on its own out on the town and got it on sale for $15! Next time you are at Target buying “toothpaste” definitely stop by and check out the Ava & Viv Collection!

Zulily Guest Blogger Review

So excited to intro you all to my guest blogger, my sister, aka “Super Mama.” Just a little background about my sister, she is the go to lady for gift ideas, recipes for a holiday party, crafts, and the list goes on.  Also, she is the bargain shopping guru! The reason why I selected her to do a review as a guest blogger of Zulily all started yesterday morning when she texted me, “sorry this is late, but this photo of my shoes is for your post 3 weeks ago about comfy shoes to wear on your walking work commute!”  Come on sista that ship has sailed…but tell me more about Zulily and ta daaaaa a blog post was born! If you have not heard of the fabulous website Zulily, their About Us section on their website is a perfect explanation, “Zulily is a retailer obsessed with bringing moms special finds every day-all at incredible prices.”  Now time to turn this over to Super Mama to answer a couple questions about her views of this website (que finger snaps)

Dreamy Realist-“Why do you love to shop zulily?”
Super Mama-“I really don’t have time to shop and I can find clothes and shoes for me and my daughter at a great price. I really like that they have plus size and large sized shoes.”
Dreamy Realist-“How is their selection in terms of sizes?”
Super Mama-“Lots of options in plus size and shoes. Before I had my daughter I wore size 11 then my feet grew to a size 12.”
Dreamy Realist-“What makes Zulily so unique?”
Super Mama-“There is something different everyday for the house, women’s clothing, shoes, and kids stuff! One stop shop!”
Here are a couple of photos of her adorable Tom’s multi color flats that she got for $50 from Zulily!

Seven Purses…Four Days…

After packing for a long roadtrip my immediate inspiration for this week’s blog post was keeping it simple.  As I stand in the hotel room looking amongst my ravaged suit case trying to find my other sandal I realized that I had brought seven purses on a four day road trip…seven…siete…sieben…that is all the languages I know to say seven, but yes…seven. I mean I didn’t go to math school, but I would say those numbers do not match up.  As I scrolled through photos on my Iphone I noticed that one little clutch made an appearance in numerous occasions.  This one clutch  I am talking about is from TJ Maxx for only $17!  If you find yourself in similiar positions like myself with purse overkill there are three things to remember:

1. Size- selecting a clutch that does not make you look like you are Mary Poppins is imporant for packing for trips.  Honestly when you are out and about exploring new cities the essentials really are wallet, phone, camera, sunnies and chapstick which can all definetely fit in just the right size clutch.

2.  Color- Find a color that pops with unique details can make any outfit complete whether it is from day to night.  This means that you can keep it light on the packing since you have a killer accessory on hand!

3.  Optional Handle-  Being able to have the wrist clutch option for a day look and then detaching it for night is a perfect little detail to keep in mind when finding the perfect purse for your next summer trip.  Perfect two for one deal!
