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.

STATEMENT TOPS
I’m IN LOVE with this embroidered blouse. I love EVERYTHING about it. I love the longer sleeves, I love the crochet trim on the sleeves and the hem, I love the embroidery on the body and the sleeves, I love the neckline, I LOVE IT ALL. I’m wearing a small here, but it’s tight across my chest, so I already ordered a medium because I’d like a little more room and a bit more length. It’s feminine and has a perfect little swingy fit. It also comes in plus size HERE. There aren’t many mediums left, so get while the gettin’ is good!
It’s made to be worn out (with no half tuck) because of the crochet trim on the bottom. You can see that the top is on the shorter side, so it might not be long enough for you if you have a long torso. (But to be honest, if you have a long torso but no boobs, you’ll still probably be fine. Haha!)

I’ve had these shorts for about 5 years now, and I’m still reaching for them. Y’all know that this year I went on a quest for some longer shorts, and I did find a couple pairs that I love… but I still reach for these every so often! I used to wear a 27 in them, but now I prefer the more relaxed fit of the 28.
The rattan bag is an oldie but goodie from Amazon! It’s so fun, and it’s a great medium size.

I’ve got another statement top for you.
This floral print blouse is all sorts of special. The floral pattern looks like a beautiful watercolor and the colors are gorgeous. It’s 100% organic cotton, and it’s crisp, so it looks and feels very expensive. The puffy sleeves are dramatic, which I tend to shy away from, but I love this blouse. The square neck, the puffy sleeves, and the boxy fit all speak to me. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

The white boot cut jeans are a wardrobe staple for me. They are great with a regular ol’ tee, but they are awesome dressed up a bit with a special blouse. They are stretchy, comfy, and they make you look taller and skinnier (than you already are). 🙂 True to size for me, I’m in my regular size 4. If you are between sizes, size down. They are very stretchy.

SUGARPLUM PARTY BOX
Did you see yesterday’s post? I don’t usually post on Thursdays, but I wanted to highlight my friend Cassie’s new jewelry collaboration. More on that in just a second, but check out the outfit now!
white tee / denim jacket (A Azure Mood)/ sunglasses / ruffle mini skirt / straw bucket bag / TB Miller soft sandals (also on Amazon HERE)
This adorable little ruffle mini skirt is definitely the star of the look. It’s new to my closet, and I think it’s DARLING. It’s a dainty floral navy and white print, and it has a smocked waist and a ladder trimmed ruffle hem. It’s 100% cotton and lined, so it’s very well made. I’m wearing a small here, and I actually think an x-small might be better on me, so I would definitely suggest sizing down.

Like I mentioned, this is actually the outfit I had featured in yesterday’s post where I helped launch Cassie jewelry collaboration! Click HERE for the entire post if you want to know all about the collab and if you want to see the 5 pieces up close.
In the Sugarplum Party Box you’ll find a pair of large hoops that are super thin and lightweight. You’ll hardly even know you have them on! They are plated with 18k gold and have a seamless fit, so there’s no back post to poke you.
The layered necklace is delicate and gorgeous. with a sunburst medallion. It’s two layers, but fastens with a single clasp.
There’s also a gold multi-layer bracelet, a vibrant multicolor multi-layer bracelet, and a turquoise ring.
The pieces all go together beautifully, but they can of course also be mixed and matched with other pieces to create countless looks.

Remember, Cassie’s Party Box is ONLY $99 right now (OVER $200 OFF!) and you qualify for FREE SHIPPING! I think there’s probably a sell-out risk, so if you want it, grab it!
CONGRATULATIONS, FRIEND! You really knocked it out of the park with this one. The pieces are HAPPY and FUN, just like YOU!

SOCIAL THREADS FINDS
Now that I’m a brand ambassador for Social Threads, I try to find a handful of great pieces to highlight every month. I’m super excited about my recent finds that I’m going to share today. And as always, you can use the code STMT10 for 10% OFF your purchase at Social Threads.
This floral abstract dress is feminine, flirty, and flouncy. I think the pattern blocking is so much fun, and both the silhouette and patterns are very playful. I love the wide ruffle hem.
The fit is VERY forgiving. For size reference, I’m wearing a small, and it’s still a very loose fit. I think most will want to size down.
I’m not wearing a slip with the dress here, but I would feel more comfortable with one on.

It does have a deep v, so some might want to wear a cami or a lace bralette under it.

This flutter sleeve dress is so pretty. The colors and patterns are GORGEOUS, and the little ruffle sleeves are adorable. It’s 100% cotton and lined. This dress is perfect for church, a bridal or baby shower, or even just a lunch with the girls. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. Use the code STMT10 for 10% OFF!

This angle gives you a great look at the smocked and gathered neckline and the pleated sleeves. This is a dress for a girly girl.

I wanted to do a side by side to show it with 2 different bags. As you can see, the bags really change the overall look. You can find the green bag HERE.
And you can tell in the shot on the left, the dress has pockets!
And here’s a look at the dress without any bags.

I’m so excited that this embroidered knit tee is BACK IN STOCK! I wanted to show it a couple of weeks ago, but it sold out before I could even talk about it. Thankfully, it was so popular they immediately reordered it. The tee is soft, the embroidery is bright, and the sleeves and bodice are very flattering. I’m wearing a medium, and I do think it runs a bit small, but I’m keeping this size because I think a large would be too big in the shoulders. Use the code STMT10 for 10% OFF!

I wanted to post this embroidered top again because it’s back in a couple of sizes. It’s awesome all summer long, but it will be especially cute on July 4th! The red is a perfect shade of red, the embroidery work is gorgeous, and the split neck sleeves are so flattering. This top has no give, so keep that in mind when choosing your size. I’m wearing a medium. Use the code STMT10 for 10% OFF the top!

This 3/4 sleeves gauze top has a super relaxed and super swingy fit. There’s lots of material, but there’s tiny little pleats all over which makes it lay nicely. The sleeves are very roomy too. If you don’t like big and billowy, you won’t like this top. I happen to like big and billowy. 😉 For size reference, I’m wearing a small. Use the code STMT10 for 10% OFF!

Here’s the same top, but with a longer pair of denim shorts. Y’all know that I’ve graduated to 5″ shorts now for lots of different occasions. I’ve really enjoyed having a longer option in the rotation. These are VERY stretchy and VERY comfy. For size reference, I’m wearing my regular size 4. A couple of sizes of the shorts are ON SALE, so maybe you’ll get lucky!

EMBROIDERED DRESS
So this is the dress version of the blouse you saw at the beginning of the post. AND I LOVE THE DRESS JUST AS MUCH AS THE BLOUSE. Actually, the fabric is different (this dress is lighter weight and kind of gauzy), but the design is the same. The contrasting trim on the sleeves and hem is so cute. It’s fully lined, so you don’t have to worry about it being see thru. If you’re an Aggie, you DEFINITELY need this dress. I’m not an Aggie, but I needed it too.
Like the blouse, it’s a deep v neckline, but I’m making it work.
For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

HSN DEALS
Earlier this week I talked about these Bose Sport Earbuds that are ON SALE RIGHT NOW and that would make an EXCELLENT gift (reg. $179.99, you can get them right now for $149.99).
Chris is super impressed and he feels like pretty much any dad would be super stoked to receive them.
He’s used them several times, so I asked him to send me a little review.
“The sound quality, fit, and comfort of these earbuds are unparalleled. They are the best I’ve used to date. The range on them when washing the car or mowing the yard is a huge bonus, and the battery life and recharging capabilities are both incredible!”
Below you can see a screenshot I took of my facebook page. I got lots of feedback from people that already owned the Bose, but I thought this comment in particular was very helpful. Look at what Ashley had to say! That’s quite an endorsement for these Bose Sport Earbuds.
I also want to make sure you know about the super special happening right now with the Revlon 1 Step Volumizer. This is the new and improved version of the Revlon brush that I first found and started screaming and shouting about several years ago. This new version has a medium heat setting AND it comes with a case for travel. AND YOU CAN GET IT RIGHT NOW FOR ONLY $39.99. That’s an incredible deal. This dries my hair in record time, and I love the bit of curl and lift it gives too. I keep 1 at the house, and I bought 1 to keep at the ranch as well. I cannot dry my hair without it. I mean, I can, but I would never want to.

VACUUM SALE
Y’ALL! I’M SO EXCITED! I first showed this vacuum last summer when it was on sale, and I just found it ON SALE again on Tuesday! When I found it, the page said “Today’s Special Deal”, but as of Thursday night it was still on sale. Fingers crossed it still is.
If you’ve always wanted a Dyson V8 Animal stick vacuum, TODAY IS THE DAY! It’s regularly anywhere from like $450 – $500 (depending on the retailer)….BUT TODAY IT’S $299.99! WOW. And if you are a new QVC customer, you can use the code OFFER to get another $15 OFF! (Pro Tip: If you aren’t a new customer, use a different e-mail an register for a new account to get the discount!)
If you’ve never had a cordless stick vacuum, they are quite literally life changing. The freedom of no cord is incredible.
We’ve had this model since July of 2021, and we are VERY happy with it. You can vacuum EVERYTHING with it, and I don’t just mean the floors. It moves seamlessly from wood floors to rugs to carpet. And shutters, cabinets, lampshades, light fixtures, our headboard, mirrors, picture frames…NOTHING IS SAFE. The attachments are amazing and we actually have fun using them.
The suction is incredibly powerful, and you should see the lines it leaves on our bedroom carpet! And emptying the gunk out of it is sooooo easy. You push a button and it kind of squeegees everything out. I of course love that I don’t have to stick my hand in there.
So in summary, I highly recommend this vacuum (as do Chris and Carter). We all love it. It handles all of our dog hair (you seriously wouldn’t believe how much dog hair) like a champ! If you’ve always wanted one, grab it at this discounted price!

CONNER’S TENNIS SKIRTS
When at the ranch over Memorial Day weekend, Conner was wearing these tennis skirts and I couldn’t believe how cute they were and how adorable she was in them! I told her she had to send me some pics.
Conner’s thoughts:
The waist is a bit of a high rise, and it’s a bit longer than the black skirt that you’ll see next. It has pockets on the shorts under the skirt. Comfy and cute! True to size, I’m wearing an x-small.
Conner’s thoughts:
This skirt has EXCELLENT ratings. I love both skirts, but the black is my favorite. It’s a little shorter, it’s not as high of a rise and it has pockets. Both skirts are extremely comfortable and sweat resistant. I’ll definitely be ordering in other colors. True to size, I’m wearing an x-small.

SHOP BY STYLE | AMAZON HOME
I shared this with my Facebook friends earlier in the week…
I stumbled upon this awesome page on Amazon, and you can click HERE to shop by style! This is awesome!
Conner and I have been buying lots of home items from Amazon recently, but we never thought it was very user friendly. Sometimes I found I don’t even know what I was specifically looking for, so being able to browse items by style is a serious game changer! It’s like flipping through a magazine!

Hi, Debbie! What do you mean? On the blog? You’re the first comment on today’s post, so that would be why you aren’t seeing any today! Let me know if this isn’t what you mean! xoxo
