It’s Friday, so y’all know what that means! It’s time to link up with Erika and Andrea to let everybody know what some of my favorite things are right now.

SOCIAL THREADS FINDS
I’m absolutely LOVING this whole brand ambassador gig with Social Threads, and the items I chose to highlight this month are my favorites thus far.
LIKE THIS DRESS.
Y’all. This floral tiered dress is sooooooooooooooooooooo me.
AND GREAT NEWS! You can use the code STMT10 for 10% OFF any full price items at Social Threads!
dress / bucket bag / wedges (order 1/2 size up)
I love everything about it. Y’all know I love a relaxed fit, and the fit of this dress is perfection. It’s got a round neck with a front V slit, and the cute little short sleeves have a great fringe detail. The silhouette is tiered and flowy. Oh, and it’s fully lined, which I always appreciate! I really love this dress. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
dress / sunglasses / bucket bag / white slide sandals (size up a 1/2)
In the mirror selfie above, you saw me wearing this dress with neutral wedges, and I think it looked great with the wedges.
Here I am wearing it styled a bit more casually with my new white (designer inspired) sandals from Amazon (size up a 1/2). I even think this dress could be cute dressed way down with converse.
dress / sunglasses /bucket bag / white slide sandals (size up a 1/2)
The navy and white print is so fresh and darling.
dress / sunglasses / bucket bag / white slide sandals (size up a 1/2)
The sunglasses are one of my favorite pairs of sunnies ever, and they are under $15.
dress / sunglasses /bucket bag / white slide sandals (size up a 1/2)
Another awesome find from Social Threads is this boho chick blouse! It’s lightweight, totally flowy, and a super relaxed fit. I love the contrast color v neck neckline, and the ruffle bell sleeves are awesome. I really like that this is very different than anything ese I have in my closet. It’s generously sized, so keep that in mind. I’m wearing a small, and I’ve still got plenty of room. Remember to use the code STMT10.
boho top / white bootcut jeans / wedges (order 1/2 size up)
In this next outfit, the bag strap, the bag, the skirt, and the sandals are all from Social Threads! You can get 10% OFF of all of them with the code STMT10.
The embroidered tiered skirt is DARLING. It’s got an elastic waistband with a tassel drawstring and flowy tiered body. I think it is so cute. It’s not lined, so I am a bit worried about it being a bit see thru if the sun shows thru it just right. It comes in this raspberry/navy color combo as well as a navy/white color combo. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
white tee / denim jacket / sunglasses / zig zag bag strap / purse / embroidered tiered skirt / sandals
Social Threads has an awesome selection of bag straps to choose from, but I thought this zig zag bag strap looked the best with this skirt. I own SEVERAL of their bag straps, and I love mixing and matching them with different outfits.
Bag straps are such an easy and economical way to really kick up the style factor in just about any outfit.
The tee, the denim jacket, and the earrings are all from Amazon! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium in both the tee and jacket.
white tee / denim jacket / sunglasses /zig zag bag strap / purse / embroidered tiered skirt / sandals
The sandals are designer inspired and so much fun! I’m normally a size 6 1/2, but they only come in whole sizes. The 6s were a tad too short for my liking, so I kept the 7s (even though the straps are wider than I would like on my foot). In a perfect world, the straps would be tighter, but they were to cute not to keep.
Also, I want to make sure I give the tee I’m wearing a proper highlight. I know I feature a lot of crew neck tees, so I get a lot of requests for v- neck options. Problem is, I think a lot of v-necks are too deep and I don’t love them. WELL, I LOVE THESE! And this black tee and this white tee come in a set for just under $30. For size reference, I wear a medium.

Keep Going Stacking Bracelet Set
The Atta on Natural Wrap boasts several different colors of crystals AND some wonderfully vibrant turquoise rectangular beads!
I stacked two bracelets here and LOVE the look.
The Ryan on Ivory is one of their classic wrap bracelets, and it beautifully combines mint green and white beads with gold tiles and beads. It’s gorgeous. The Amazonite Stacking Bracelet Set on top is a set of 4 different stretch bracelets that layer perfectly together. It’s very beachy, and I’m in love with the color combo.

Ryan on Ivory / Amazonite Stacking Bracelet Set

If you prefer a more understated look, this Lacey mini cuff combines rose gold with leather and white stones. It’s such a cool look and is a neutral bracelet that will go with so many different outfits.
The Ava Bracelet is a real stunner, combining incredible sparkle with lots of beautiful gold tones. And I love the dainty hearts in this one.
The Braga Cuff is an eclectic combination of different textures, leather, crystals, and stone. It’s been a favorite of mine for years.
That’s all for the bracelets today! A huge THANK YOU to Victoria Emerson for sponsoring this portion of the post and for creating such beautiful jewelry!

TARGET DRESSES
This flutter sleeve dress is adorable, flirty, and feminine. AND IT HAS POCKETS. #enoughsaid It’s like a gauzy material, so it’s lightweight and quite comfortable. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
flutter sleeve dress / slide sandals
And this is the red, although this color appears to be sold out at the moment. I’ll keep my eye on it and let you know immediately if they bring this color back.
flutter sleeve dress /slide sandals
This tiered dress is wonderfully crinkly and totally precious. For size reference, I’m wearing a small. Which bag do you like it with better?
Do you prefer the similar round rattan bag, or do you prefer the embroidered cross body strap with the LV?
Do you remember this sweater? I’ve been wearing the heck out of it.
This adorable sweater is truly a perfect spring sweater. Bright and happy colors, fun stripes, and a medium weight….SERIOUSLY PERFECT FOR SPRING. And it’s soooooooooooo dang cute. I love the tight cuffs, the band around them hem of the sweater, and the border color on the hem. It’s definitely my favorite piece I’ve found in the last several weeks. It’s something I know I will wear on repeat.
For size reference, I grabbed a medium because some reviewers wrote that even though it launders well, there is some shrinking that occurs (so I wanted to have some extra room). I LOVE THIS SWEATER.
sweater / sunglasses / cross body bag / distressed girlfriend jeans / wedges
You might recognize this floral dress from my Target post back in March. I kept the dress and have worn it several times, and I seem to receive a mountain of compliments each time I wear it. The dress is gorgeous. I think it totally looks like a much more expensive dress from Anthropologie that someone might pay upwards of $200 for. It’s romantic and flowy, but it’s not too precious (if you know what I mean). THIS DRESS IS CHARMING.
It has an elasticized empire waist, which normally isn’t a great look on me, but it works with this dress! I’m wearing it here with wedges, but I also think it would be adorable dressed down with sneakers and a denim jacket.
For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

CONNER’S AMAZON FINDS
Y’all have been loving my Amazon home finds, and I’ve got several great ones for you today that my sister has recently picked up. Y’all know she moved several months ago, and she’s been having so much adding little touches here and there to really make the house feel like a home.
This forsythia wreath was such a great score! I love that she stuck with the white scheme when choosing the wreath.
Look how pretty it is!
And if you want a little more color, remember my wreath, also from Amazon…
I’m pretty sure I shared this in a previous post, but the olive tree and seagrass basket are both from Amazon. Conner loves the tree, and there are lots of great reviews on Amazon. Great faux plants are hard to find, but this one is a winner!
The dish soap dispenser and tray and ceramic canister set were both great finds!
This marble and stainless paper towel holder was the perfect choice for this space.
So this picture is a bit awkward, but this 3 pack of mini potted plants and this white rectangular tray look like they were made for this space.
Conner wanted to add some color to her kitchen, and this rug infused just the right amount of color! This is the light grey runner that is 2′ x 5’8″. It comes in several different sizes, and it is also offered in a navy colorway.
I love the coziness and texture that a great throw adds to a space, and Conner’s new throw is NOW ON SALE!!! It has OVER 20,000 near perfect ratings and comes in 3 different sizes and 20 different color options. Conner’s is the beige 50×60. It’s soft, lightweight, I love the diamond pattern, and it drapes beautifully when thrown over a chair or sofa. It also looks great tossed on the corner of a bed.
If you are less concerned with how the blanket will look with your decor and your top priorities are stupid soft and incredibly cozy, get this blanket. We have it and LOVE it, and it’s on SUPER sale right now.

FACIAL STEAMER
Here is the facial steamer that I highlighted earlier this year, and I continue to receive consistent feedback on it from y’all. EVERYBODY LOVES IT, and now it’s on SUPER SALE.
I was seriously influenced on this one. SEVERAL ladies I follow on instagram had been sharing their steaming routines, and I was intrigued. Here’s what the site has to say about it… Relax and unwind while detoxifying your skin of impurities and dead skin cells with your personal, at-home steamer system.
The set also includes the customizable Bunny Ears Spa Headband. It has an adjustable bunny ears closure, it’s perfect for keeping your hair out of the way when washing your face and/or using a mask treatment, applying makeup, and more.
And y’all, I tried to get a good pic of me using the steamer. It was harder than I imagined it would be, but I got a good laugh. Haha!
This was late at night, so the lighting is terrible, but you get the idea. It obviously puts out a good amount of steam.
This particular steamer has EXCELLENT reviews.

JUST ORDERED
I find that the really great Madewell dresses often sell out faster than I can receive the dress and review it for y’all…so I wanted to let you know that I ordered this dress yesterday. I’m hoping I love it as much as I think I’m going to! Love the pale blush color, the shirred v-neck, and the tiers!
UPDATE: I’m updating this post Friday morning at 8:45 a.m. because I opened a Nordstrom box that was just delivered and FELL IN LOVE with two tops I ordered. This top is expensive, but I don’t even care. I’m keeping both colors. I know me and know this will be a top I reach for ALL THE TIME.
Click HERE for the shirt. It is brand new to the site, but the navy one is already starting to have sizes sell out. It’s lightweight, it’s flowy, the tiny little gathers are so pretty, and the embroidery work is GORGEOUS! And I love a square neck. I ordered both the small and the medium, but I’m keeping the small (and there’s still room). I feel like Madewell sizes are kind of all over the place (I require a medium in some Madewell things), but this might be a top that you might want to consider sizing down in. The size chart says a small is a 2-4, but I’m not a 2-4 in this top, and it’s still a great fit for me.
I’ll show it on me next week, and hopefully it will still be in stock!
OH! You also need to click over to see the back of the top! There are buttons all the way down and a cute little tie at the top. Gosh I love this top.
*********************
AMAZON FINDS
It is my firm belief that one can never have too many lounge sets.
This one is soft, lightweight, and cozy. I like a loose fit with my pajamas, and I like how the medium fits in this set. It comes in 9 color options. I’m wearing the beige here.
This Be The Good tee is obviously great with denim shorts, but for fall, it will also be great with jeans, a cardi, and sneakers! It’s very soft and comfy, and I of course love the message! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
The same link has similar tees that say “Kindness Matters” as well.
Be The Good tee / denim shorts / Havianas flip flops
Another graphic tee, another important message.
Wearing a medium again.
BE KIND tee / denim shorts / Havianas flip flops
Summer is just around the corner, and I love a kimono in the summer. This kimono is FANTASTIC. I’m wearing the “black” here, but you might remember that I’ve shown it in turquoise as well in the past.
kimono / white tee / denim shorts / sandals (size up a 1/2)
Just to jog your memory, here it is in the turquoise…
kimono / white tee / denim shorts / sandals (size up a 1/2)
LOOK HOW CUTE! Mine really should say “Tacos and Margaritas”, but this will do. Haha!
Tacos and Cervezas tee / sunglasses / white denim shorts / straw tote / gold sandals
I absolutely adore this Happy Camper tee and think it’s going to fly off the shelves. First of all, it’s obviously DARLING. I love the green color and the graphic makes me smile. The material is very soft, it’s got a great fit, I love the vintage feel, and I know I’ll wear it a ton.
It’s a fabulous deal at under $25. I believe it’s actually a men’s tee, but it has a feminine fit, and I still got a medium so it wouldn’t be too tight in the chest.
If you love this tee, you have to check out all of the designs available from Tee Luv. You won’t believe the awesome choices!
Happy Camper tee /my favorite denim shorts / sandals
Here’s another Amazon item, BACK IN STOCK!
First of all, this striped maxi is ONLY $29.60. And it comes in tons of colors and has excellent reviews.
I love that it’s not clingy, but it’s also not boxy at all. It drapes really nicely and is super flattering. The material is soft and light, and it feels great on the skin. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
And get this. IT DOESN’T WRINKLE. I pulled it right out of the package and it looked great. This would be a great little travel dress.

MY CURRENT COLLEEN FAVORITES AND SALE
There’s a SPRING INTO SAVINGS sale going on right now!
Get $25 OFF of $100 with the code SALE25.
Get $50 OFF $200 with the code SALE50.
Here are some current favorites of mine…
The Intense Hydrating Mask is an easy answer for skin that needs extra hydration. You apply it at night and let it sink in while you sleep. It gives a boost of highly concentrated hydration to tight, dry, rough or dehydrated skin. This treatment helps strengthen elasticity, leaving skin with a youthful suppleness and radiance. Just read the reviews if you want to know more. The reviews are fantastic.
Intense Hydrating Mask / Micro Mineral Resurfacing Scrub
The Micro Mineral Resurfacing Scrub is my very favorite mask to use. Whenever my skin is feeling dull or lackluster, I use this scrub to wake up my face and really brighten it right on up. After using it, my skin is SO SOFT and it truly does look healthier and more glowy. It refines texture, helps reduce clogged pores and brightens dull complexions by buffing away dead skin cells using the power of ultra-fine crystals.
I don’t like to spend a lot of time or money on expensive spa treatments, but this scrub is like an at home alternative to professional microdermabrasian treatment.
Do you see the rose quartz pieces below? When I rub the scrub on my face, it feels like very very fine sand. It gently (but efficiently!) exfoliates and reveals newer and fresher skin.
IT’S AN INCREDIBLE PRODUCT.
The Face Oil #9 used to be too much for my skin, but now I can’t imagine it not being a part of my nightly routine (and I sometimes use in the mornings as well). Colleen touts it as the ultimate in skin luxury, and I have to agree. It improves radiance. RADIANCE! Who doesn’t want to increase their radiance?!?
I put 1 full pump in my hand with the Extreme Recovery Cream (also seen below) and apply it all over my face and neck. It hydrates and plumps like nothing else I’ve ever used. The Extreme Recovery Cream is thick, rich, and ultra-creamy. My skin absolutely drinks this special little cocktail up.
And I’m not the only one that swears by it in my family. My mom and sister do as well. Actually, they are both devoted users of many products in the line. My mom did a full review of her favorite products awhile back, and you can click HERE to read all of her thoughts. She’s added in new products since then, but it’s a comprehensive review of her routine at the time. My mom is in her mid 70s and looks AMAZING, so copying her skincare routine wouldn’t be such a bad idea.

WEEK IN REVIEW
Did you see Monday’s post? I gave several options for personalized and SUPER SPECIAL Mother’s Day Gifts!
Conner and I worked together to create some personalized photo art, and I’m in love with how it turned out. All I had to do was quickly upload some pictures to the Minted site and then click and drag them to where I wanted them.
This is the 16×16 option with the whitewashed herringbone frame. You can go as small as 8×8 (perfect for a shelf or bookcase), or you could go as big as 44×44! I went with the 16×16 because I wasn’t sure if mom would want to put it in her built-ins or if she was going to want to hang it on the wall. I felt that this size would work for both options. LOOK HOW ADORABLE!
And don’t forget that thru 5/6, you can receive 15% OFF your purchase with the code SHEAFFERMOM15 + FREE STANDARD SHIPPING.
Click HERE for the original post to see everything else we got for my mom!

On Thursday’s post, I shared an old favorite (this bra) and a new favorite (this bra).
If you are interested in a bra that’s incredibly soft, super supportive, and crazy comfortable…HEAD TO THE POST. I thoroughly review each bra, and I even have a 30% OFF code for the new bra!
Click HERE for the original post.
And don’t forget one of my very favorite finds from all of last year. That’s a really big deal, y’all.
This bra flipping rocks, and most colors and sizes are on sale right now. We’re talking like 1/2 off, making them right around $20. I recommend the “butterscotch” and the “toasted almond”.
I. LOVE. THIS. BRA.
It’s free shipping and free returns (most of you will receive it today or tomorrrow!), SO JUST GET IT. I know you’re going to love it, and if for some crazy reason you don’t, no big deal. Just return it for free. But I’m telling you, you won’t return it. In fact, you’ll probably hop on and buy at least 1 more when they’re still on sale.
*********************
That’s all for today, y’all! Have a wonderful weekend with your people!
Shay Shull says
Those studded sandals are SO CUTE!!!!! Also, you’re the queen of the graphic tee 🙂 .
Jen says
I would love to find shorter kimonos to wear this summer. If you come across any could you include them in a blog post? I am only 5’2 and the longer ones are just too much for my frame.
Sheaffer says
I will definitely keep my eyes peeled, Jen! xoxo
Jennifer Willoughby says
I got so excited! I just got the navy floral dress from Social Threads last week. And I also have the red flutter sleeve gauzy target dress. Just proves why I love reading your log. We have such similar taste in clothes.
Sheaffer says
I love this, Jennifer! You’ll be so cute in both! xoxo
