I hope everybody had a wonderful night last night, and I hope that this morning you are feeling good! 😉
It’s FRIDAY, and you know what that means!

I didn’t think anything of it….because I’m telling you, this kid is ALWAYS in my blardigan.
Which is why I got him his own!
Don’t judge me.
It was just as much a gift for myself because I got mine back!
#smoothmommove
Yep, when the blue and purple ones went 50% OFF several weeks ago, I scooped up a blue one for the little man. They do make kid Barefoot Dreams items that you can find on their site, but he likes how mine is so big because he wraps up in it like a blanket!
We also got him a realllllllllly nice bean bag that I hope lasts him well into his teenage years.
Mr. Cozy was super happy and stupid cozy!

Speaking of blardigans, I was tagged on this ig post after Christmas and it made me so happy! It was a blardigan Christmas for these ladies!
Thanks for making my day!
Families that wear blardigans together, stay together.

I often get e-mails from y’all asking about tunic suggestions for leggings.
I didn’t keep this dress for myself because it was longer than I like for leggings, but that’s good news for you taller girls, so I knew many of you would still like to see it.
I’m 5’4″ and it was wayyyy to long for my liking.
For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
This dress is totally office appropriate.
print chiffon shirtdress
necklace / earrings / MUST HAVE leggings / similar brown wedge boots
Check out these wedge boots I found! I’ve had mine (that you see above) for almost 3 years now. but they sold out the first year I got them, and they never re-stocked.
Mine are more cognac than brown…but I LOVE the wedge heel on this new pair. These are the first affordable ones I’ve found in 3 years that are similar to mine!
Click HERE for this pair that is now 40% OFF!
Just fyi, I’m living in THESE boots both in and out of the house.
And I seriously get compliments on them just about every single time I wear them.
They are great with jeans, leggings, and pajama pants. 🙂
Other heights available HERE.
These slim profiles are true to size, so don’t order a size down like you often are told to do in other UGG boots.

Well, I ended up finding where Joanna gets her circle hoop wood earrings.
I exchanged some e-mails with the owner of the shop, and she confirmed that these are the exact earrings that Joanna wears!

THESE BOOTS are also something I think I could see on Joanna!
Sizes are going fast, so hurry!

I never get tired of pics of my boy and his dog.

WoooooooooooooooooooooHooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I’ve been looking for one forever, but Chris was all “we already have a light fixture that works.”
And I was all, “Yes, but it’s fugly.”
And then I finally convinced him to get it for me for Christmas!
#wellplayed
You can find it from several different sources, but I found the best deal at Amazon! I absolutely love it and feel like it “makes” this little corner of the room now.
Click HERE for the fixture.
I wanted something that mixed wood and metal, and this fit the bill!
I think it’s perfect for our space, and I was very happy with the price.

Two blouses are NOW ON SALE that I’ve talked about before.
This top I showed y’all on a Shopping with Sheaffer post awhile ago is now 40% OFF! It looks great with jeans, but it also looks awesome with black dress pants! It would also look great with cords!
blouse / earrings / jeans (these are the Evyn jeans and I’m wearing a medium)/ similar grey booties
For size reference, I’m wearing a small so I think it’s true to size.
And this blouse HERE (it comes in 2 other colors/patterns as well).
It’s 40% OFF as well!
I’m wearing an x-small here, but I really needed a small for more room in the chest (they just didn’t have it in store).

UPDATE: I just got this comment from a reader about the bag:
I’ve had the MK Bedford bag since summer and it’s fabulous! It’s the perfect size for everyday and I love that you can wear it with the strap long, crossbody, or as a shoulder bag. It’s beautiful in person, too! 🙂 – MommyLu

I have a friend who had an experience within her family this year that rocked their world.
She wanted to spread awareness by sharing her story, and I was happy to help.
Here is Sarah’s story:
First I want to thank Sheaffer for giving me the opportunity to share my story. My name is Sarah and I have 2 adorable boys, Gavin (4 years old) and Landon (2 years old). The Friday night after Thanksgiving I put my boys in their cute Christmas pajamas and took their picture in front of the Christmas tree and my world was flipped upside down. I noticed a whitish yellowish glow in Landon’s left eye and I immediately remembered a story I had read in the past about a little boy whose life was saved by the flash of a camera. On Saturday we took many more pictures using a flash and the glow appeared each time. After doing some research online I came across the CRADLE app that was created by a Baylor University professor, Dr. Bryan Shaw, after his son had a very similar glow and ended up having retinoblastoma (cancer). The app scans all of your pictures for the white glow associated with retinoblastoma and Coats’ disease. After scanning all of our pictures we discovered the glow had been there since March. We rarely use a flash in our pictures so we had not noticed it before.
After multiple visits to different specialists over the next few days, we were told that Landon has Coats’ disease and six days later he underwent his first surgery and laser treatment. Although we are relieved he does not have cancer, we have a long road ahead of us. Coats disease is a very rare condition found in children and adults where there is abnormal development in the blood vessels behind the retina of the eye which end up leaking fluid. The fluid can then put pressure on the retina which can lead to detachment of the retina and blindness. In later stages the eye may need to be removed. Through surgery and laser treatments, the leaks can be controlled and some vision may be restored. These laser treatments may need to be repeated multiple times in order to control the leaks.
I asked Sheaffer to let me tell you Landon’s story to bring awareness and encourage all of you moms, grandmothers, aunts, teachers, babysitters, etc. to “Know the Glow” and have your child’s eyes examined if you repeatedly see a white or yellow glow covering the entire pupil of one or both eyes (the technical term is leukocoria). There are many less serious causes for leukocoria, but it is better to have it checked out. The earlier you can identify Coats’ disease or retinoblastoma the better. So ladies, turn on the flash of your camera and snap a picture of the children in your life. Not just because they are adorable, but because it could save their life. While you are at it, download the free CRADLE White Eye Detector app available on Apple and Android devices to scan all of your pictures.
For more information on “The Glow” visit knowtheglow.org, and if you would like to follow Landon’s journey click HERE.
And finally, Sarah didn’t ask me to share this, but click HERE for their Go Fund Me page if you are touched by this story and would like to help!
That’s it for today everybody!
Have a wonderful weekend with your families and friends!
And mamas, soak up the last bits of not having to pack school lunches!!! 😉
Three Cheers to an AMAZING 2016 for ALL!!!!!
xoxo,
Sheaffer 🙂

Great post! I was just thinking about tunics this morning as I got dressed and can't help but wonder as a nursing mom, would lifting a tunic in public be the same as lifting a dress to nurse a baby? I love those wooden earrings and hope they restock! I got 2 AC items for Christmas and ordered another with the 40% off. Thank you for sharing that story about the child's eye. Very good information to know! Happy New Year!
Sheaffer says
Hi Christina! I've e-mailed the shop owner to ask her about the earrings. A couple of other people have already e-mailed me asking if I knew when they would be re-stocked! Sadly, I do think lifting a tunic would be just as awkward as lifting a dress. And finally, you are going to LOVE you A.C. items!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Christina says
Thanks! I'll save the leggings for home for now. Can't wait to get my AC cuff! I love my Christmas gifts. When I saw the box under the wrapping paper I had the same reaction as my mom did opening an iPad. Ha!
Monica Warren says
Hey Sheaffer, My future son in law got me the "killer" cheetah booties for Christmas. OMG! I almost fainted…..for real. I need to know what socks do you wear if you don't want them to show. LOVE the picture of your son and dog. Goldens are the best! We love ours.
Sheaffer says
Hi Monica! I have all sorts of random socks in my collection. I actually have several from LOFT and Old Navy that work with these boots! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Melody says
Good info on the eye! I had no idea…
And I just bought the gold ladder necklace. I have been wanting it forever and finally took the plunge!
Mix and Match Mama says
Happy New Year friend! I'm going to have to get Kensington a Blardigan because she wears mine 24/7! I hope you have the coziest weekend with your loves!
Narci says
That light fixture looks soooo good, girl!! Love!! 🙂
Jackie T. says
Sheaffer, do you know if the Rainbow Tassel Necklace is gone forever? I couldn't find it. 🙁 Also, looked for their store hours in Dallas and could not find any info on that either.
Thank you for sharing the story about Landon. That was an incredible discovery, and I'm sure one that will help many, many people!
Happy New Year!
Sheaffer says
Hi Jackie! I think they are in the process of getting it back right now! Fingers crossed it will be back sometime in the next 2 weeks or so! Happy New Year To You Too! I would e-mail them at info@accessoryconcierge.com for their hours! Happy New Year to you too! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Kathy says
Love your blog! What size bean bag did you get your son?
Kathy
Sheaffer says
Hi Kathy! We got the biggest one! 🙂
Kathy says
Thanks for that, my grandson is going to be five in a few weeks and wanted to surprise them.
Allison Miles says
Hey! Just wanted to let you know that if you go to Magnolia Market online (her blog/shop), and click under apparel then jewelry, you can find some of Joanna's jewelry that she wears on the show that they sell. She has some of the bracelet's, earrings and necklaces she wears. I also follow her Pinterest boards and she list some of her jewelry and stuff under there. I know it sounds like I stalk her! Don't judge…I love her style!!
TamTam7 says
Oh my goodness your little guy is so adorable in his little blardigan. He has great style just like his mom!
Robin says
Love your blog! Have purchased many of your suggestions from Loft and Accessory Concierge! I am looking for a TV Console and love yours – noticed it in the picture in your post today. Where did you purchase it?
Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hi Robin! Are you local? It's from Weir's and we love it! Thanks for reading! Xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Robin says
Actually I am in North Carolina! Thanks for the info. Love your blog and have ordered from Loft and Accessory Concierge! Wishing you a blessed 2016!
Amber R. says
Hi there! I was wondering where you purchased your cute kitchen table and chairs. We are currently looking for a new table that extends to fit more people! I love the light fixture by the way – good move on getting the hubby to get it for you for Christmas! Thank you!
Sheaffer says
Hi Amber! It's from Weir's (chairs and table) and we love it!
Katrina says
Awesome post today! I may or may not have ordered both of Joanna's earrings and several things from AC too!! Always enjoy reading your blog but love the Joanna Told Me To posts, because the obsession is real (in a non-stalker kind of way!!)
Kim Kauffman says
Those Sundrop Hoops are SO cute!!
Kris says
Can you post up the link for the chandelier again. The one you have up is going to something different on amazon. I can't seem to locate that chandelier and I love it. I would like to find one similar for my new house! Thanks
