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.

HACKING UPDATE
Let’s be clear, this isn’t a favorite from the week, but here we are…
I have had a lot of sweet messages from y’all asking for an update on my social media channels and the hacking scandal….
For those that don’t know, my personal Facebook account was hacked on March 9th. Posts were done that went against community guidelines, so Facebook immediately shut my Facebook account down along with my Instagram. We submitted forms on Facebook asking for it to be restored, we had to submit a copy of my Driver’s License to prove it was me, and we initiated all sorts of online chats. On March 11th, my instagram was restored! And then my personal Facebook account was restored on March 12th! YAY!
HOWEVER, I’m sadly still unable to access my Sheaffer Told Me To page on Facebook and the hackers are posting Teen Mom videos all day every day. #cool And I have a personal Instagram account that remains hacked as well. Oh, and let’s not forget twitter. I haven’t even been on twitter in probably 5 years, but somebody is now trying to pose as me and sell Chris Brown tickets. #awesome.
Chris and I spent almost 3 full days reading articles, watching YouTube videos, and doing everything we could to petition for my account to be restored. So far, we’ve had no luck, but we are still hopeful because a couple of people we know had contacts at Facebook that have told me they’ve filed an internal ticket on my behalf. So now we wait, and we hope, and we pray! 🙂

Colleen Rothschild
Colleen Rothschild has a new eye cream. But y’all, it’s not just a regular ol’ eye cream.
It’s an Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream. And it’s FREAKING AWESOME.
It will allow you to introduce a brighter, more youthful appearance to your eyes. This advanced solution is specifically formulated to address common concerns of tired and dull eyes, such as under-eye darkness, fine lines, dryness, and puffiness.
- Hyaluronic acid: helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles
- Caffeine: targets puffiness and water retention
- Pearlized pigments provide an instant brightening effect and create a radiant, glowing appearance. Peach-colored pigments neutralize blue undertones, helping to balance out skin tone and create a more even appearance.
- Peptides: help smooth texture
Whether used as a backdrop for makeup or alone, this eye cream is going to WOW you and leave you with a revitalized, youthful appearance.
It’s really hard to capture how awesome the eye cream is in a picture, but I’m also talking about it on instagram stories, so you might be able to see better in the videos (the videos will expire Friday at around 6:00 p.m.).
I really love the plumping effect and the brightness it gives to my under eye area. I don’t like concealer and never use it, but I think this eye cream not only does the job of an eye cream, but it also functions a bit like a concealer does…but it doesn’t settle in to lines or crepiness, which is why I don’t like or wear concealer.
I highly recommend this product. And right now the entire site is BUY 1, GET 1 50% OFF with the code LUCKY.

Shopping With Sheaffer
I’ve got a mini Shopping With Sheaffer haul today, and I’m featuring items from Nordstrom, Walmart, GAP, and Target! If you’re a regular reader here, you know that Nordstrom and Walmart are two of my Top 5 favorite retailers. If you’re not a regular reader here, you need to know that I don’t care where something comes from, I only care if I love it.
That being said, I’ve been wanting to expand my retailer horizons, so I’ve started ordering from some places that aren’t my typical GO TOs, and I’ve had some great luck! I’m super excited!
I have a sponsored post coming up with GAP at the end of this month, so I ordered a whole bunch of stuff so I could find some favorites to highlight. And I’ve been absolutely THRILLED with some of the items.
I wore this sweatshirt the other day when running around town and got 2 compliments, I’m guessing because of the fun and vibrant highlighter pink color. And listen, I LOVE a short-sleeved sweatshirt. I have several in my closet, and they are definitely pieces that I reach for often. They are perfect for spring. This one is a relaxed fit and super soft with a sleeve that’s got some length (which I also love). For size reference, I’m wearing a medium, but I think I might prefer a small. You’ll see this sweatshirt again in a bit with both denim shorts AND matching sweat shorts too.
AND GREAT NEWS! This sweatshirt is 40% OFF with the code FRIEND and an additional 10% OFF with the code FAMILY.
sweatshirt / jeans / sneakers
I’ve shown these jeans many times before, but they have definitely become personal favorites.
I’m truly obsessed. I’m wearing the “light blue vintage”. They’re a straight leg jean, but a skinny straight leg, so they are an easy way to ease into the straight leg trend if you haven’t tried it yet. I’m wearing my regular size 4. Size down if between sizes. Oh, and they have the AbSolution technology we are all obsessed with!
They really are the perfect spring and summer light wash jean. They really hold me in, but still manage to remain super comfortable.
sweatshirt / jeans / sneakers (use code HONEY15 for $15 OFF)
This puff sleeve top was a pleasant surprise. It doesn’t look like anything special, but I really like it! It’s soft, it’s got a longer sleeve length, and I really like the soft gathers along the neckline. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
puff sleeve top / jeans / TB Miller sandals (less expensive Amazon option HERE)
Okay, this top is a splurge, but I love highlighting special tops sometimes…. and this is a special top.
Farm Rio is a favorite new (to me) brand, and while it’s definitely pricey, I’ve found some items to be worth it to me. I got a Farm Rio top to wear to a friend’s fun birthday party, I grabbed a Farm Rio dress to wear 1 night in Nashville and this summer sunrise blouse definitely spoke to me.
The colors are to die for, the pattern is so fun, and the cut and shape is definitely special. The ruffle sleeves, the neckline, the tassel, and the little ruffle hem are ALL fabulous. This top is SPECIAL, and every so often I’m willing to pay extra for special. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
I just saw that it’s almost sold out at Nordstrom, but you can also find it HERE!!!
summer sunrise blouse (also found HERE) / jeans / TB Miller sandals (less expensive Amazon option HERE)
This top is totally romantic. It’s got a vintage looking floral pattern, pintuck pleats, and smocked cuff sleeves. It’s lightweight, but not see-thru, and just so so pretty! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
floral pintuck blouse / jeans / TB Miller sandals (less expensive Amazon option HERE)
This crochet sweater is so much fun! Now I will say, although I’m not wearing a cami with it here, I definitely plan on wearing a cami when I do more than wear it for a selfie. It’s got a scalloped neck, scalloped sleeves, and it sits right at my hips with a scalloped hem. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
If you love this look, there’s also a dress HERE. with the same scallop detailing. I’m unclear on if it comes with a liner underneath? If not, you’ll definitely need a type of cami dress to wear under it if it doesn’t come with one.
This sweater is 40% OFF with the code FRIEND and an additional 10% OFF with the code FAMILY.
crochet sweater / jeans / TB Miller sandals (less expensive Amazon option HERE)
If you don’t have a short sleeve denim shirt, you are probably going to want to fix that. #likeyesterday
You’ll of course wear it with white denim, but I actually like pairing denim on denim together too. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
denim camp shirt / jeans / TB Miller sandals (less expensive Amazon option HERE)
I loved this dress when I first found it, which is why I put it on my Looking Forward To Spring collage that I blogged on Monday.
When I tried it on, I immediately ordered the black one as well. It’s easy, it’s breezy, it’s flattering, and I have no doubt it’s going to be a GO TO dress for me all spring and summer long. The white one is lined, so it is very well made. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
I’m wearing it casually here with flat sandals, but it could easily be dressed up a bit with wedges and jewelry.

Remember the short sleeve sweatshirt at the top of today’s post? You know I had to pair it with denim shorts.
And look! I’ve got a new pair!
Both the sweatshirt and the denim shorts are 40% OFF with the code FRIEND and an additional 10% OFF with the code FAMILY.
sweatshirt / girlfriend shorts / TB Miller sandals (less expensive Amazon option HERE)
These girlfriend shorts are FABULOUS.
I’m wearing the “light indigo destructed”.
They’re very comfy, have a bit of stretch to them, and a frayed hem. I love both the fit and the overall look. And although I’m wearing them with the frayed hem here, you can also roll them up if you would like. They have a 5″ inseam, which I’ve decided is the inseam length I typically prefer during this stage of my life. 😉 For size reference, I’m wearing a 28 petite. I sized up one, and even though the size 27 fit, I liked the fit of the 28 petite the best.
girlfriend shorts / TB Miller sandals (less expensive Amazon option HERE)
You’ve seen the shirt with blue denim jeans, with cut-offs, and you know it would look great with white denim too.
BUT LOOK AT THIS! CHECK OUT THE MATCHING SET!
I absolutely love it paired with the sweat shorts. Also 40% OFF and an additional 20% OFF with the codes.
For size reference, I’m wearing a petite small in the shorts. And remember, I’m wearing a regular medium in the sweatshirt. It’s quite oversized, so a small would definitely be fine. Look how cute it is with my favorite sneakers.
sweatshirt / sweat shorts / sneakers
Here’s the Farm Rio blouse again, styled super casually now with my new denim shorts.
summer sunrise blouse / girlfriend shorts / TB Miller sandals (less expensive Amazon option HERE)
And now I’ve got some Target finds for you! Both of these blouses are going to go so fast, so you better grab them before other influencers feature them!
This blouse might be from Target, but it’s giving total Anthropologie vibes! Now you need to know, it definitely runs small. I’m wearing the medium, and it’s actually quite tight across the chest. I LOVE the colors, pattern, and the drapey fit.
flutter sleeve blouse / must have denim shorts / sandals
So this top runs quite large. I’m wearing an x-small here, so I would suggest sizing down at least 1 size.
The pattern and colors are fabulous, and I love the split neck, the tassels, the longer sleeve, and the elasticized sleeve him. Which Target top is your favorite?
floral top / must have denim shorts / sandals
The beaded bracelets are adorable and perfect for spring and summer. This is 2 separate stacks that I stacked. 😉 #pilethemup

4 SPRING JACKETS
I’ve got 4 spring jackets to highlight today. I love having a light layer to throw on on a cool spring day or even a cool summer night!
TRACK JACKET
I showed you this track jacket in the pink and orange color combo a couple of weeks ago, but I wanted to highlight this colorway too since the pink sold out. For size reference, I wear a small in this jacket.
track jacket / similar white tee / sunglasses / earrings / jeans / similar tile bracelets / laser cut sneakers
Here it is on me in the pink just to give you an idea of the fit…

RAIN JACKET
I love having a cute rain jacket in my closet. Because I’m telling you this, as soon as you don’t have a rain jacket, you NEED a rain jacket.
rain jacket / similar white tee / sunglasses / earrings / jeans / similar tile bracelets / laser cut sneakers
I showed a great Kelly green rain jacket from Kohl’s last month, and I LOVED it… but it was over $100.
This one is ON SALE for only $32.
rain jacket / similar white tee / sunglasses / earrings / jeans / similar tile bracelets / laser cut sneakers
The navy, red, and white checked pattern is adorable. It has a waist that can be cinched in, and it’s got both zipper and snap closure. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
rain jacket / similar white tee / sunglasses / earrings / jeans / similar tile bracelets / laser cut sneakers
Here it is all zipped and buttoned up.
rain jacket / similar white tee / sunglasses / earrings / jeans / similar tile bracelets / laser cut sneakers
And it’s got a hood, as all good rain jackets should.

TRENCH COAT
This trench caught my eye. Because of course it did. It’s DARLING and CLASSIC and CHIC. Don’t worry, I ordered it. I’ll show it in a post if it’s still available after I receive it!
MOTO JACKET
The final jacket today is this pink moto jacket that I featured in this collage a couple of weeks ago.
pink moto jacket / white tee / jeans (size up 2 sizes) / black tote / black sandals / sunglasses / tile bracelets
I totally wanted to recreate the look!
pink moto jacket / white tee / sunglasses / jeans (size up 2 sizes) / similar tile bracelets / black tote / black sandals
I’m wearing a small, and it’s still roomy, so it definitely runs big.
It’s incredibly lost, has some stretch in it, and looks way more expensive than it is. It’s only $45!
pink moto jacket / white tee / sunglasses / jeans (size up 2 sizes) / similar tile bracelets / black tote / black sandals
pink moto jacket / white tee / sunglasses /similar tile bracelets
pink moto jacket / white tee / jeans (size up 2 sizes) / similar tile bracelets
These sandals are a great find!
They’ve got a padded footbed (woohoo!) and the banded knot styling is such a great look. True to size for me. AND GET THIS. They are under $20.

SUPER AFFORDABLE SANDALS
Speaking of super affordable shoes, I have several I want to highlight. You’ve seen both flat sandals in a previous post (click HERE for the post), and you’ll see the wedges in a post next week.
braided wedges / braided flat sandals / pink sandals
Both of these sandals are in this post as well.
braided flat sandals / tie knot sandals

POOL/BEACH TOWELS
With summer just around the corner, you need these pool / beach towels. I got them last year and we LOVE them. They are so soft, so plush, and so cute! They sold out last year, so grab them now before they do again. They have THOUSANDS of 5 star reviews.

OUR PLACE OVEN PAN
Y’all. I know I’ve talked to y’all about my Our Place Oven Pan several times before, but I feel the need to again tell you THAT I LOVE IT SO MUCH. It is definitely the most used item in my kitchen!
I have an entire post dedicated to the pan HERE, but I wanted to mention it again today because it is THE MOST USED piece of equipment in my kitchen. I use it in the oven alllll the time, but my favorite way to use it is on my stovetop. I fry eggs, cook fajitas, and I love to buy veggie kabobs at Market Street (only $5 for all of these veggies) and take them off the wooden skewers. I spray the pan with some olive oil, and then I sauté them tell they are soft and have some color on them. YUM. I also use it as a roasting pan in the oven a couple of times a week.
The Perfect Pot and the Always Pan are also integral pieces in my kitchen. And I love how they look so much that they are always sitting on my stove.
Home Cook Duo / Our Place Perfect Pot / Our Place Always Pan
There’s a cool special right now going with the Our Place Perfect Pot. Click HERE to see a post devoted to my love for the Perfect Pot.
And y’all! There’s an incredible special going on right now!
If you add a Perfect Pot to your cart, 4 different free gift choices pop up for you.
LADIES. You MUST GET the knife trio!
The knife trio is regularly $170!!! AND YOU CAN GET THE SET FOR FREE with your Perfect Pot purchase right now!
All 3 knives are amazing. The serrated slicing knife is perfect for bread as well as for veggies like tomatoes. For the first time in my life, I was able to cut thin and uniformly sliced tomatoes for burgers. And you wouldn’t believe the thin pieces of steak I was able to cut for steak sandwiches with the everyday chef’s knife. It was a thing of wonder! The precise paring knife is perfect for the tinier tasks such as peeling fruits and veggies, mincing garlic, etc. And all of the knives have a proprietary grooved handle that guides your hand into the perfect pinch grip.
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE DEAL. And if you don’t need both the pot and the knife trio, think about gifting one! Both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day will be here before we know it!
And they all come with these sheaths to protect the blades and allow for easy storage. Seriously, if you don’t have a set of good knives, I highly recommend this trio .

WEEK IN REVIEW
Click HERE for Monday’s post where we all got excited about some new spring items!
I do want to update you on one of the items. The pink jeans that I was soooo excited about and looking forward to showing you today…they arrived and they look TERRIBLE on me. Actually, the jeans I received didn’t even really match the original picture on the site. The jeans I received weren’t cropped on me, and they had a finished hem instead of a cropped hem. (Since I ordered them, the picture has changed on the site and they now have a finished hem.) In a nutshell, I was originally super excited about the jeans, but I no longer am. 🙁
1) floral tie back bouse / 2) camp shirt / 3) braided sandals / 4) pink slides / 5) bracelet / 6) necklace / 7) lip gloss / 8) earrings / 9) white woven bag / 10) white dress / 11) pink jeans / 12) smocked waist dress / 13) shimmer brick / 14) styling cream / 15) neutral wedges
Click HERE for Wednesday’s post where I planned some amazing spring and summer outfits! I loved creating the post, and y’all really loved the outfits!

Re: hacking…My instagram was locked up during the pandemic. I contacted the facebook ad people and bought a $5 ad for my facebook page and asked them to reinstate my instagram so I could do one there. Suddenly I was back to normal. Hope this is helpful!
Sheaffer says
Thanks for the tip, Missy!!! xoxo
