Happy Friday, Everybody! WoooooooooooHoooooooooo!

I’m of course happy because it’s Friday, but I’m also THRILLED that today is my monthly Amazon haul!!! Today’s stuff is SO GOOD, y’all. The items are DARLING, WELL MADE, and the prices are FANTASTIC. We all know that shopping Amazon can be hit or miss, but with me putting in the work for you, I’m hoping you’ll only have a cart full of HITS!

Here’s a little sneak peek of this month’s haul…

I think you’ll find this month that I have lots of awesome new spring finds with bright and happy colors, but I’ve also sprinkled in some items for those of y’all that are still going to be in cooler climates for awhile now too.

*************************

LET’S GET STARTED!

How completely adorable is this polka dot sweater?!? It’s very soft, has a great amount of stretch in it, and the fit is so dang cute. I love the fabric, the quality is great, and y’all know that I’m a huge fan of the longer sleeves. I was immediately drawn to the pink (as I often am), but it comes in 9 total colors. For size reference, I’m wearing a small. This is definitely nice enough to wear to the office as well.

I’m wearing these jeans in almost every single outfit in today’s post, so let’s take a minute to talk about them.

They are a great light-medium wash that is perfect for spring. I originally recommended them a couple of months ago, and I’ve received tons of feedback (at least 50 comments or e-mails!) from y’all letting me know that you ordered the jeans and love them too. They aren’t normal jean sizing, but at a regular 27 or sometimes 28 (depending on the jean brand), I ordered the medium. They have some serious stretch to them, so I think a small would have been fine, but I’m good with the fit of the mediums.

I really like these jeans, and at under $40 they are an incredible buy.

I typically love a statement sleeve when they aren’t too overwhelming, and this is just the kind of sleeve I love!

This flutter sleeve tee boasts these pretty little pleated flutter sleeves that aren’t too poofy or long, and the ruffle actually extends a bit down the top. There’s a cute little pocket too. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Okay, I love these colors and this striped design. I’ve actually had this pattern in the crewneck sweatshirt for a couple of years now, and I’ve always wanted the quarter zip in the stripe, but it’s been sold out forever.

WELL, IT’S BACK BABY!

It’s lined with a light fleece, so it’s cozy and warm, but it’s not too thick or hot. The stripes are adorable, but the collar on this quarter zip is my favorite part. It stands up on his own and is just so dang cute. I own it in coral too. I sized up in this one to a large because the coral that I have in a medium is pretty fitted on me. It still fits, but it’s just a different look.

This waffle knit sweater was probably my biggest surprise of the entire haul. I think it’s DARLING. This is the “navy”, but I think it’s in between a navy and a royal blue color. It’s fresh and so springy!

It has a drop shoulder and a casual slouchy look, but it doesn’t look sloppy at all. I love the functional buttons (they are like wood or maybe cork?), and there are side slits too. It’s a waffle knit, but it’s like a waffle knit sweater because it’s got more weight to it than a normal waffle knit. It’s the perfect weight and style to help you usher in spring. For size reference, I’m wearing a small. For a slouchier look, I’d size up to a medium.

This cardigan is a bright and happy spring color, but it’s still quite warm for those of us still experiencing some frigid temps. In McKinney, this morning we are supposed to be waking up 35 degrees colder than yesterday! This does have some wool in it, so it will keep you warm. For size reference, I’m wearing a small. It comes in a hooded version as well HERE.

cardigan /crewneck tee / LOVE necklace / 40 mm chunky hoop earrings / Democracy jeans / sneakers

This hooded tee is super soft with an oversized fit. I grabbed the cream, but looking at the colors again, I think I would prefer the dusty pink. I’ll wear this with jeans, I’ll wear it with denim cut offs, and I’ll even wear it with pajama pants when at home. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium, but a small would work too.

The sneakers are from my Target Haul, but these are my favorite no show socks ever! And they are from Amazon! They come in an 8 pack, and they are AWESOME. I saw somebody on instagram talking about them (can’t remember who), I tapped thru, and I bought them immediately. I’m sooo glad I did because they haven’t shown with any of my shoes (they seem to be a lower profile than my other no-show socks) AND they stay put and don’t roll off! Hallelujah!

This pointelle knit sweater is very pretty, very soft, and very stretchy. It’s fitted on my frame, but I like it. The sleeves have a subtle puff and the pointelle design is nice. I will say that in this deep color the pointelle design does show my neutral bra under it. Perhaps if you chose a lighter color sweater it wouldn’t be as noticeable.

There are several styles and tons of colors on this one link that include crewneck and square neck versions as well! For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

This ruffle blouse caught my eye as a piece that would be great for an office environment. I love it with my jeans, but how awesome would it look with a pair of black pants and pumps! The neckline has a little ruffle, and so do the sleeves. The sleeves extend past the elbow, I just have them pushed up here. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Years ago I posted a denim jacket that I loved (and still do!) from Amazon. I still wear it all the time, but it’s been sold out for over a year now, so I’ve been wanting to find an Amazon option for y’all. I’ve ordered 5 I think, and they’ve all been terrible. They were all too stiff, too boxy, too cropped, or too distressed. Well, this denim jacket is great!

I picked a light wash for spring and summer (this is the A Light Blue), but it comes in several other washes in this exact style. Now I’m warning you, there are some other TERRIBLE denim jackets on this same link (I’m looking at you daisy jacket), so beware. Haha! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

These capri joggers are made for spring. The ratings are great, but from some of the comments I read, it looks like you might want to steer clear of some of the lighter colored options because they might be a bit sheer. I LOVE the black ones and don’t think they are see-thru at all. They fit great, and the cropped length is just what I was looking for. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

With St. Patrick’s Day next month, I thought it would be fun to show a couple of graphic tees for the occasion. This Lucky Charms tee is soft and so festive. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

And who doesn’t love the word “shenanigans”.  Again, I’m wearing a medium and the tee is quite soft.

The no socks don’t show with these sneakers either!

The graphic tees are cute styled with the capri joggers too!

I showed this quarter zip pullover with jeans earlier, but I wanted to show you how cute it is with joggers as well. I wish these joggers were thicker than they are, but maybe you are looking for thin joggers? They aren’t see thru, they are just very lightweight. For size reference, I’m wearing a small. And again, I sized up to a large in the pullover.

quarter zip pullover / joggers / slip on sneakers

I always think tops with stars on them are so dang cute. This top is no different.

The material is very soft and it has pockets! It covers my hips and does have a bit of a fitted bottom, which makes for a cute fit (just don’t expect it to be loose and flowy). For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

star tunic / jogger pants / slip on sneakers

Here’s the same top with jeans…

And if you want a super cozy sweatshirt, looks at this super fun neon yellow hoodie! It’s lined with fleece, so it’s nice and warm. If you don’t want to go as bold as I did (it’s officially called “lime green”), there are lots of other more basic options as well as some fun patterns. I sized up to a large in this one too.

And here it is with jeans…

This neutral zebra sweatshirt is a medium, so you can see how this size is quite a bit more fitted on me. It’s also lined with a light fleece, and I fell in love with the neutral zebra pattern.

This batwing sweater comes in several color options, but I was immediately smitten with the blush, taupe, cream combination thing going on here. Now listen, this sweater is BIG. It’s super soft and drapes nicely, but it is BIG. I’m wearing a small, and it’s still big. It’s definitely leggings friendly, but you can still do a 1/2 tuck with it (seen on the right). In summary… it’s really big, but I really like it.

Or if you prefer…

Do you remember this swing sweater in a similar color blocking?

This is the pink-white-khaki, and I love the color-blocking on the front, back, and sleeves. One thing I want to mention…..you can see where my sweater is pretty straight across the hem in the front.  It is definitely longer in the back like it is shown on the model, but the front doesn’t have the deep v cut that’s shown on the model.

For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

swing sweater / chunky gold hoops / heart necklace / jagged hem slim jeans / camo sneakers

Okay, so this is for those of y’all that are still going to have cold weather for a bit longer.

This jacket is DARLING. It’s the famous teddy bear material that’s super popular right now, but it’s not big and bulky like every other teddy bear coat or jacket I’ve ever tried. This one is like a teddy bear bomber! It’s definitely an outdoor jacket, so don’t plan on wearing it around the house. It’s got such a cute fit, and I’m dying over the stand-up collar. The inside of the jacket is lined with like a silky/satiny material so it’s not overly hot…but it’s still a warm jacket. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

This crewneck sweater is a wonderful neutral, but it’s jazzed up a bit with some neutral color-blocking. It’s like oatmeal, grey, and brown and it’s so pretty! I’ve shown this sweater in other colors before, and I’m a big fan of it. I have it in the plain beige and the green. It’s just a wonderful basic that will serve you well.

This pajama set is similar to the pink one I shared from Nordstrom last week, but it has ruffles on the sleeves and the hem of the shorts, and it’s like 1/3 of the price of the Nordstrom set. For size reference, I’m wearing a small here, but I don’t like my pajamas this fitted so I definitely need the medium.

If you don’t have the smiley face slippers yet, get them. GET THEM NOW.

Now THIS is my idea of a great lounge around the house set. This sweatshirt is the $10 Hanes sweatshirt I’ve shown you before that I love, and these terry pajama shorts are just so easy to throw on and so comfy. I’m wearing a large in the sweatshirt (I wanted it roomy) and a small in the shorts.

This waffle-knit robe is comfy, medium weight, and a great robe for spring and summer. It reminds me very much of a spa robe in both fit and material. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

This waffle knit pajama set is another great little set. It’s a soft waffle fabric and a relaxed fit. The drawstring on the shorts is functional, and it has pockets. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

When I saw the ratings on these no-show undies, I was intrigued. And then when I saw I could get a 5 pack for $18, they flew into my cart. Go read the reviews for yourself, and you’ll think they are worth a try for $18. I agree that they are seamless and extremely comfy. I’m really excited to have found these!

And I talked about the no show socks earlier, but I wanted to highlight them here too. I got the 8 pack for $16 which is a heck of a deal!!! As mentioned earlier, they seem to be a lower profile once on my foot, and they don’t slip off!

FROM EARLIER THIS MONTH

I’m totally in love with this leather tote, and I’m hoping that those of you looking for a great work bag will give it a try!

leather tote / batwing sweater / girlfriend jeans / chunky booties

So what is so great about this bag?

• The tote is made of 100% genuine leather and all the hardware has been reinforced.
• Each bag is a totally natural and handmade product, therefore there may be some variations in color, texture and surface to different batches of leather material, which will create a wonderfully unique effect.
• With the passage of time and extended use, the leather will become softer and the patina will become smoother and brighter.

I absolutely LOVE the look of a well-loved bag. It’s important to realize that because it is real leather, the distinctive features of the surface will have pores, wrinkles, scars and uneven color, showing a retro and distressed style. I think that’s what gives a bag it’s charm and makes it look high end.

This v-neck sweater is very soft, comes in tons of color choices, and has near perfect reviews. I show tons of crewneck sweaters, but I have a harder time finding v-neck options I like, so I was thrilled to find this one. It does have a bit of a batwing design, and it is more fitted through the tummy area than the chest. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

v-neck sweater / beaded hoop earrings / LOVE necklace / girlfriend jeans / sneakers

The colors on this striped sweater are so sweet, and it’s a perfect spring sweater because of the colors and the weight. It will be great with white denim as well. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

AMAZON HOME

These pics were from earlier this month too…

I’ve had several inquiries lately for more home content on my Amazon posts! I’m going to start making an effort to order more home items to review for y’all, but I thought I would start out by highlighting items I already own. Like this rug!

rug / non-slip rug pad

We have a tiny little hallway that connects our entryway to the hall bath, the laundry room (on the left), the garage (door directly in front), and Chris’s study (down another short hallway on the right). My rug is the 3×5 in “light blue/ivory”. There’s no natural light in this hallway, so I think the picture of the rug on the site is a good representation of the true colors.

The botanical prints you see on the wall are at least 10 years old. They were from a boutique in Dallas, and if I remember correctly they were quite pricey. Amazon actually has a really wonderful selection of botanical prints you can find HERE. Mine are a large size, but a bigger collection in a smaller size would look great on this wall as well. I would love this set popped in frames. This set is beautiful too and looks very much like something you would see in a Ballard Designs catalog to me. Oh wait! I found some that are already framed HERE.

This peony arrangement has excellent reviews, but I’m still on the fence. It would be great on a shelf mixed in with some other items, but I don’t love it by itself like this in the dining room. It is very pretty, I just need to find a space that is better suited for it.

I also got a new wreath for spring! This peony wreath is 24″ and gorgeous. It sold out quickly last week very early in the morning, but it looks like there’s at least 5 more available now.

I love the peonies, the berries, and the varying sizes of the flowers. And the colors are gorgeous. It’s just so pretty!

OTHER AMAZON HOME ITEMS I OWN OR HAVE RECNETLY ORDERED:

I grabbed this NEST diffuser over Christmas and I’m obsessed. I tried the Pura diffusers, but I like this one better.

I’ve ordered this faux plant to put in a decorative tin bowl in my butler’s pantry! It has EXCELLENT ratings. I’ll be sure to show it next week.

I also ordered this trio of tan/grey/taupe kitchen towels. Can’t wait to get them! A new kitchen towel makes me want to clean the entire house and light a candle. Just me?

BACK IN STOCK

HOW CUTE IS THIS PUFFY SLEEVE TOP! It’s a light little sweatshirt that will transition easily into Spring, and it has these great little pleated puffy sleeves.  But don’t worry, the sleeves aren’t too puffy, they are DARLING.  I’m wearing a medium in this sweatshirt, but I would prefer the fit of a small.

This rainbow sweater is soft, bright, happy, and UNDER $30! I’m wearing a small here, but I like the oversized fit on the model, so I would suggest sizing up. And I love the navy, but it also comes in black, red, and grey.

Here’s another way I’ve styled the sweater. You see how fitted the small is on me.

sweater / teardrop statement earrings / itty bitty boot cut jeans / neutral wedge booties

Listen up, because this washed boyfriend button up is FABULOUS.  It’s 100% cotton and comes in 11 colors.  I’m wearing the “blue classic stripe” here, and I love it. And think how cute it will be with white jeans!

I’m wearing a medium, which is true to size for me. I always wear mediums in button ups to ensure that the buttons won’t pull.

These star pajamas are crazy soft, super cozy, and just plain cute. I love this soft grey with the pink stars, but they are tons of color options.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.  I think I would prefer the fit of a medium top (I like really roomy pajamas), but a medium in the bottoms would be too big.

I thought the little ruby stripe design on this lounge wear set was so cute, and I’m always looking for great little sets to wear around the house. It’s very soft and has a very comfy fit.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

lounge wear set / slippers (size up a 1/2)

This cute little short pajama set reminds me very much of my Cool Night’s Soma sets that I have, but the set is much less expensive.  One of the reviews even says “soft as baby clothes” and I’d have to agree!  SERIOUSLY SO SOFT. I love the little black dots and the pink piping on this set, but there are so many colors and patterns to choose from.  For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

LAST 5 AMAZON PURCHASES

I’ve been preparing for an AMAZON BEAUTY post I’m wanting to do next month, so I’ve been ordering some beauty finds!

1) I saw an intagram beauty blogger talking about this baked foundation. She did a tutorial on facebook and I was very impressed, so I got it AND I grabbed this brush. She didn’t brush it on her skin, she stippled it on her skin. The brush she used was firm, so that’s why I grabbed the one I linked. I ended up going with the golden medium.

2) I ran across these OPI dry drops and the reviews talked me into it. I hate waiting around for my nails to dry when I do them at home, so I can’t wait to try it out.

3) I used to do French manicures on myself all the time, and I did it again for the first time in a long while last week and LOVED the results! I grabbed this set.

4) I ordered this ice roller that’s supposed to help with morning puffiness.

5) Carter has mentioned wanting whiter teeth, and after googling some reviews on the product (some from dentists and hygienist), I’m excited for him to try this toothpaste. He isn’t going to be thrilled about the unicorn on the front of the bottle, but he’ll get over it. It came in earlier this week, and I tried the non-unicorn bottle and was impressed. I was worried it would be too strong and Carter wouldn’t want to use it, but he’ll be just fine with the taste. I’ve been using it the last several days, but I’ll give it to him this weekend!

******************

READER TOP 5 (FROM LAST MONTH)

1) These jeans were in the Top 5 last month and will be this month as well.

2) These jeans were also super popular in light blue (but they are more of a medium wash). ON SALE NOW.

3) Everybody loved this subtle heart sweatshirt. And it might not be February anymore, but I’m still reach for it and wearing it all the time.  I have it in the light grey.

4) These 7/8 leggings are favorites of mine and y’alls (and a great deal at under $25).

5) This pullover that looks great with both jeans and leggings.

******************

That’s all for today, y’all! There were so many great items highlighted on today’s post, I hope you found something that works for you! Have a wonderful weekend with your people.
