BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE BRACELETS
Let’s kick things off today with some of my favorite bracelets. I’m working with Victoria Emerson to get the word out about their huge BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE SALE happening right now! No code needed, and I’m so excited!
It’s time to stock up on these bracelets, ladies. Think bracelets for yourself (of course), but also think birthday gifts for friends and family throughout the year, and what about first of the year teacher gifts!!!
I’m going to highlight several new bracelets today, and then I’m also going to share some bracelets you’ve seen previously that are still in stock. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM ARE BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE. If you are new around here, I’m completely obsessed with both the wrap bracelets and the cuffs from Victoria Emerson. These bracelets add a whole lot of style to your look, and I absolutely love how they take the guess work out of stacking bracelets. Once you try these bracelets, you’ll become a fan of the brand and want to start a collection. They’re affordable (and totally worth it!) even when not on sale, but the BUY ONE GET ONE FREE event makes them an absolutely incredible deal.
Let’s start with two awesome turquoise wrap bracelets that I’ve stacked on top of each other. Turquoise and browns together are great now, but they will be awesome all year round. These bracelets are gorgeous and so striking.
turquoise and shell on natural / turquoise beads on dark brown
Y’all first saw this top a couple of weeks ago, and I continue to wear the heck out of it. Click HERE to see the post where I styled it 3 ways. The top is NOW ON SALE for only $17.48! What a deal!

puff sleeve blouse / white frayed hem denim shorts / slide sandals
This next bracelet is a 7 strand cuff. Like all of the cuffs, it’s a magnetic closure in the back. And for those of you that prefer silver to gold, this is a great option.
Just like all of her bracelets, it’s the different colors and textures that make this bracelet so special.
turquoise, white, silver, and grey cuff
The tee is a sturdy knit that is chambray lined. It’s DARLING and ON SALE! Look at the little split sleeve with the chambray lining peaking out! SO CUTE! I’m wearing a small.

chambray lined striped tee / white frayed hem denim shorts/ cross body bag/ slide sandals
And here’s a 5 strand cuff, also with a magnetic closure. This one has light turquoise beads (almost look like a celadon green) with suede, crystals, stone beads, and braided leather. For size reference, I’m wearing a small in this adorable pink Good Vibes tee (that’s only $18 and available on Prime).

And here’s a close up! So sooooooo pretty! Don’t you just love all of the texture and the sparkle?
The pearls with the gold is such a fun combination! Click HERE.
I first showed this bracelet a couple of weeks ago.
This wrap bracelet is hand made and features fresh water pearls on a dark brown leather. It’s gorgeous and is going to transition very nicely into the Fall.

Other bracelets you’ve seen in the past that are still available…
Ooh! This one has a large piece of lace in the middle of the stones and beads! So unique!
Paris cuff / shirt no longer available 🙁
This cuff is the most popular one on the site. I was so happy to see that they had it restocked in time for this sale. I’ll show it in stories later today so you can get a better look at it, but don’t wait too long. I’m sure it will sell out again. #italwaysdoes
Attica cuff / shirt no longer available 🙁
The vibrant colors of this one grabbed my attention. The blue is so striking.
emerald cut blue crystals with grain stone beads wrap bracelet
shirt no longer available / my favorite denim shorts
The turquoise beads in this one really pop against the brown beads and natural cording! I absolutely love it!
And this shirt is awesome and only $19.50. Click HERE to see me in it in a full length shot.
turquoise and shell on natural wrap bracelet
Under $20 plaid button up / white frayed hem denim shorts/ cross body bag
This is actually one of the same bracelets you saw in the top shot above with the black and brown shirt. I stacked it above, but you can see here that it stands well on its own too.
turquoise and shell on natural wrap bracelet
leather wrap options / cuff bracelet
Love the neutral colors in both of these!
top wrap bracelet / bottom wrap bracelet
And remember…all of the above bracelets are BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE! And NO CODE is needed! Here are some other favorites. Just click on what you are interested in:
A great big THANK YOU to Victoria Emerson for sponsoring this portion of the post.

When I get pictures from readers wearing STMT finds, that’s definitely a favorite.
Y’all have seen Heidi’s picture before with a different Amazon find, but she’s a big fan of this lace shirt. Look how cute she is in it. This has definitely been a crowd favorite, and so many of you have purchased the wine color and say it is FALL perfection.

I had a handful of people message me saying that the Magnolia Home section that I raved about in a previous post isn’t in their local Targets. I’m soooooo sorry! The Magnolia section is total eye candy, and I love strolling through each and every time I find myself in Target. I grabbed a pic last week so those of you that don’t have one in your stores could get an idea of how lovely it is! Click HERE to check it all out. SO. MUCH. GOODNESS.
Click HERE to see where I featured the throw pillows I grabbed for my front porch. They gave the porch a total face lift. It’s amazing how $50 can transform a space.

I discovered this lovely little combo about a month ago.
I apologize for not sharing it with you immediately, because OMG. It’s Summer in a glass. Add lots of ice and fresh lime and ENJOY! (One more thing, the coconut lime sparkling soda has quite a bit of sugar in it, so I started adding water to the mix so I wouldn’t be consuming so much sugar!)

Last weekend my little family went on a quick getaway with some other family members. We were supposed to head to the beach again, but because of all sorts of scheduling conflicts between the families, we opted for a long weekend at a lake house very close to our family ranch.
Great family and friends, an awesome location, and yummy food. That’s all I need for a great little getaway!
We spent lots of time in the pool overlooking the lake.
You’ve seen Carson on the blog a lot because his family lives down very close to the family land, and he and Carter are best of friends. I think I might have explained this in the past…but even though we refer to Carson as a cousin, he’s not really, although they are definitely as close as cousins. Their grandfathers are cousins, so I’m not sure what that makes these two, but they love each other like brothers. #clearasmud
This kid enjoyed the lake life.

Carter was a little apprehensive to ride the tube at first, but he got up the courage and had a blast!
Carter / Carson / Landon
Don’t you think this picture should make it to a Land’s End catalog?
So thankful for the time spent with loved ones. And also for the corn dip that Whitney made and the homemade pimento cheese that Monica made. Because OMG.

READER TOP 5
Now that we’re in August, it’s time to share y’alls TOP 5 FAVORITES FOR LAST MONTH! Several of the Top 5 items were from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but we aren’t going to talk about those since the sale is over. So, I’m going to talk about the top non Anniversary sale items. Not only were these the most purchased items, but these are also the items that I’ve received the most feedback on. And get this, 3 of the items aren’t even clothes. WHOAH. That has to be a first for the blog.
* This item will change your life. I’M NOT KIDDING. IT WILL BETTER YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE AND MAKE YOU A HAPPIER PERSON. Your hair will thank you. Your soul will thank you. I’m not even sure what that means, but it’s true.
* This balm will make you not dread washing your face. I know that’s a huge claim, but I’m standing behind it. And it’s on SUPER SALE!
* These sweatshirts that I bought as a result of reader recommendations. I got two. They arrived, and they are incredible. But I ordered mediums, and I’ve already hopped on and ordered smalls. I think they will still be long enough for leggings.
* Lots of y’all who wanted to look taller and skinnier bought these.
* I can’t believe how amazing this product is. I love looking golden brown with just some circular motions. It’s a game changer, y’all.

Those bracelets are absolutely beautiful! Sign me up!
Heather says
I bought my first Victoria Emerson bracelet at the end of last year (based upon your recommendation). I’ve bought countless bracelets since then for myself and others. Going to use this BOGO event to grab teacher gifts! Great idea!
Sheaffer says
I hear this all the time, Heather! After people buy 1 of these bracelets, they end up starting a collection! 🙂 So happy you love yours! xoxo, Sheaffer
Karie L DeFrees says
Name of lake house or how do I find out about rental info? Looks awesome!!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Karie! So sorry, but you can’t rent it. Chris’s aunt is a real estate agent, and the house is for sale. She’s the listing agent, and her clients were so gracious to let us use it. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Shay Shull says
Okay, today’s the day! I’m finally buying VE bracelets! You’ve convinced me!!! xo
Sheaffer says
Well, it’s about dang time!!!! You’ll love them!
Kelly W. says
If Carter and Carson’s grandfathers are first cousins, then Carter and Carson are cousins, just distant! They would be third cousins.
Sheaffer says
That’s what I thought, but I said that once and somebody corrected me and said something like it was “once removed” or something like that. I like “third cousins”! Thanks, Kelly! 🙂
Gail W. says
These are my favorite types of posts – a little of this, a little of that and a LOT of cute!! I have to say, I clicked on that stripey JCrew long sleeve top the instant I saw it and now it’s on its way to me! Due to my fairness of skin, I always need long sleeve tops, especially in summer, that are a step up from plain long sleeve tees. Thank you!!
Sheaffer says
Aw, thanks Gail! You’re going to love the shirt! xoxo
Val K. says
A question for any/all regarding the VE cuffs. I have a very thin wrist-I really like the idea of the magnetic closure and would love to hear how they look/fit on small wrists. Also interested in same info for the expandable cuffs with the chain. Thinking that my wrist might be overwhelmed by the heaviness of the chain. Any advice would be appreciated as I love the look of these bracelets!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Val! I feel like I have pretty small wrists, but I just measured mine so you could compare against yours. Mine measures at 5 3’4″. All of their bracelets fit me and I don’t feel overwhelmed! Hope this helps! xoxo
Holley@BeeSimplyOrganized.com says
Sheaffer, you are my go to girl for some cute fashion! I love these bracelets and I think I’m in need of the Good Vibes shirt lol! Where did you buy the coconut lime drink? That sounds soo good!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Holley! I got it at Market Street! Thank you so much for the sweet words and for following along. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Traci says
Sweatshirt link not working, can you update if not sold out, thanks!!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Traci! You mean the sweatshirt I linked under TOP 5 READER FAVORITES? I just checked and it’s working for me! You can always e-mail me at pinteresttoldmeto@yahoo.com if you still can’t get it to work. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Traci says
Yes, got it now (user error ;-)….love those….missed from earlier post…thanks!
Sheaffer says
Great! Thanks for letting me know!
Elizabeth says
Titos + Fresca = Less sugar and amazing. My husband joked that if we got another dog I’d try and name it Fresca. LOL.
Sheaffer says
Yes, Elizabeth! I do Fresca, Vodka, and fresh lime too! It’s a great summer drink! xoxo
Christina says
Which lake is that? We are always looking for something new! And that looks beautiful.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Christina! Lake Limestone! xoxo
