When I was out of town this weekend at our family ranch with my little family and some friends,
something BIG happened on this little ol’ blog of mine.
Yep, when I was enjoying my favorite people in my favorite place……
be still my heart
Pinterest Told Me To reached 1,000,000 pageviews.
No…that’s not a typo… I didn’t put too many zeros there.
The blog actually reached 1 MILLION pageviews.
WHAT?
HOW IN THE WORLD DID THIS HAPPEN?
I don’t know how it happened, but I am forever grateful to all of you for making it happen!
You read the blog, you come back day after day, and you tell your friends!
So…THANK YOU!
On Friday I’m going to do a big giveaway to celebrate YOU!
So, stay tuned for a giveaway announcement!!!
It’s gonna be good. It’s gonna be HUGE!!! 1 winner takes all!
I do want to acknowledge that the main reason the blog has grown so quickly has been because of other bloggers and friends that have been sweet enough to mention me on their awesome blogs.
First and foremost, I wouldn’t even be coming close to 1 million pageviews if it weren’t for Shay and the constant mentions I get over at Mix and Match Family.
THANK YOU SHAY! LOVE YOU!
You have been my biggest bloggy cheerleader, and I am forever grateful for your support!
Plus, it’s just plain fun to do this blogging thing with you! 🙂
During the last 7 months I have also picked up lots and lots of new readers from Kelly’s Korner, Big Mama, The Blue Eyed Bride, Hi Sugarplum, and The Larson Lingo.
So….THANK YOU KELLY, MELANIE, ERIN, CASSIE, and Mel!
I have learned so much about blogging from you ladies (I read most of your blogs before Pinterest Told Me To was even a thought in my head), and I’m happy to now call you all friends!
*****************************************************************
Thanks to my personal stylist,
today I’m blogging yet another outfit I wouldn’t have put together on my own.
Cute, right?

These look perfect, and they are on SUPER sale – an additional 30% off the sale price!
And if you don’t like lilac, there are several other color options.
I really like the “pistachio” color also.
A pair from GAP HERE on sale!
Turquoise Bag| Fossil HERE (not at all similar to the pic)
The left one is my absolute FAVORITE (I cannot imagine an outfit that it wouldn’t go with!), and the middle one comes in 5 different color combinations.
Click on the pic for information.

The shoes in the inspiration picture are great (love the neon- HUGE trend right now), and I have lots of great NEON and brightly colored options for you in both flat and wedge options.
I think THESE are a very reasonable option.
They come in 6 different colors (pictured below – not sure why I can’t get the picture to rotate) and they are AWESOME. They seem like the perfect little summer shoe to me. I LOVE the bright color choices, and I also LOVE the little bit of glam with the gold on the strap.
Click HERE to see all of the colors up close.
THIS shoe is another option. I actually think this might be the exact shoe in the inspiration picture.
It comes in lots of different color options too, but several color choices have
only limited sizes available.
Yet another great option HERE. I really like the zipper detail in the back on THESE.
AND….if you want to rock a neon sandal…but you would rather have a wedge, check out these!
The middle one is just a wedge version of the ones highlighted above.
Click on the pic if interested.

I tried on the far left sandal last week and I LOVED it. (That’s me below trying it on.)
It is a pretty tall wege, but crazy comfortable. I feel like it would be very versatile.
And for the record, I don’t think the above picture does it justice. It is much younger and modern than it appears (see below).
Casual enough to throw on with cut off jean shorts and a t-shirt…
or the patent makes it dressy enough to go with a cute little sundress.
You can find the below wedges HERE, and they come in lots of great bright colors (as well as neutrals). There are 49 reviews of them..and 39 of them are 5 stars!
Review examples:
I saw this shoe originally at the Nordstrom
store. I bought them in black, white and yellow. I was so excited to
see this show in Aqua and ordered it on line. I have 4 pairs of these
and LOVE Them. I can wear them all day and my feet do not hurt. I am a
91/2 and I bought a 10. So if you are half size, make sure you go up to
the next size.
I get lots of compliments on these shoes.
I went to the Nordstrom in Dallas and saw
that these were a great value. I tried them on and they felt so
comfortable and cute that I bought two pairs in white and red. It was a
great find. I’ll be wearing these all summer since they’re so easy to
match any outfit with. They’re so comfortable, it felt like I was
walking on air.
REMEMBER THE REVIEWS SAY THAT IF YOU ARE A 1/2 SIZE TO ORDER A SIZE UP.
So, if you are normally a 6 1/2, order the 7!
So, what do you think?
I think it’s time we jump on the neon shoe bandwagon.
I’m going for the wedges, what about you?
And make sure you check out the sales before you go. I just updated them 04/17 a.m.
We are talking as much as 35% and 40% off!
GAP is 25% off of all orders, 35% off of orders over $100! That’s a great deal! Ends 04/20.
Enter the code GAPMORE.
I’m thinking about getting THIS and THIS.
Click HERE to shop.
Click HERE to shop LOFT. If you are a cardholder, it’s 40% off of everything through 04/21.
That is HUTE.
Banana Republic is 35% off full priced styles with code BRSHOP35. Click HERE to shop.
Ends 04/21
There is also a Nordstrom Spring Sale that started last night!
After you click HERE, type “spring sale” in the search bar in the upper right hand corner
.
Then, on the left sidebar, you can scroll through more specific
categories such as “women’s apparel, men’s shoes, junior’s, or kid’s
shoes”.
LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of great spring stuff on sale!
But I know this about Nordstrom sales…..great deals tend to fly off the shelves, so if you love something…..get it!
If it doesn’t work, you can always return it. Nordstrom is great about returns.
J Crew Factory is an extra 30% off of final sale items with the code GETMORE. Click HERE.

You are even CUTER with a million page views!
But, seriously, I gotta admit….I am secretly THREATENED that SO MANY people have discovered you! Now I am looking out the corner of my eye hoping NOT to run into any other people dressed like ME around town who also copy your outfits!! 🙂
Knowing there is a new post up makes me all tingly inside! I have become more "brave" with my so called "fashion" thanks to you! Thanks for all the fun and inspiration!
(I tried to figure out if I am a 'no reply' commenter….but I need my 8th grader to be home and walk me through it! Haha I will get on that right after the softball game today!)

Amazing accomplishment girl! Congrats:)
Love this look…easy and chic…I am a believer that a scarf adds instant chic to ANYTHING..I wear one at least a few times a week…what will I do when it is oppressively and I can't stand wearing one anymore, ha!
All for now.

Yay!! 1,000,000 is a fabulous milestone. Do you remember how long it took you? I'm in week two of blogging full force, and I have passed 1,000. I'm pretty pumped 🙂 But 1,000,000 is a thousand thousands. Soooo I have my work cut out for me.
You did a great job interpreting the inspiration! And you're right – lighting makes a big difference. But it's hard when you don't have a nice camera or a photographer or a light set. "Selfies" are sometimes our only option! I guess you could carry around a tripod and set a timer on your camera. 😉
Anyway, Congrats again – I found you through the I Feel Pretty party.
Check out my blog (maybe I'll reach 1400 today! Haha).

Wow – what a fantastical milestone! Keep up the good work and enjoy your weekend!
