MY 3 OBSESSIONS

1) 
THESE Stella and Dot earrings.
I think it should be obvious that I’m obsessed.
I first talked about my love for them HERE , and then I mentioned them again HERE when Lesley was wearing them on The Women Tell All special.
My friend Andrea from Slightly Askew Designs (who just happens to be the designer of this blog) doesn’t just love them…she is truly obsessed, and I can prove it.
Check out our facebook conversation last week:

🙂
And listen, I know I’ve mentioned these earrings several times before…
so if you feel like you want me to shut up about them already, I get it.
But ya’ll.
THESE EARRINGS ROCK.
I’ve worn them 4 times in like 10 days…and I’m not even ashamed.

Click HERE if you want to order. 
I don’t know why, but for some reason I need to know that YOU know that they are the best earrings on the planet.
I know, I need therapy.

2) 
THIS pink blazer.
swoon
If pink is not your thing, it also comes in electric blue and a neutral.

 I mentioned it HERE on my guest post over at Blue Eyed Bride.
(If you haven’t…you should really check the post out.  I highlight my Top 5 Must-Haves for Spring!)
Well…..the blazer arrived, and it is perfection.
It’s a great weight, a great fit, and I just adore the striped lining that you can see if you roll up the cuffs.  You guys are going to be seeing this in A LOT of future posts.
And score…right now it’s on sale!

Speaking of sale…right now at J Crew Factory you can enjoy 30-40% off ALL dresses and skirts!
Have a reunion you’re attending this summer?  A wedding or 4?
You might just find something you like.  Click HERE to shop!

3) 
This is what I’m most excited about showing you today:
Darling TOMS for spring and summer.
I received the following e-mail on Tuesday:

Hey Sheaffer,

 Love you, love your blog! You have (p)inspired me to purchase a few items that I cannot live without now, namely a leopard scarf and the Nordstrom BP Runway boots (LOVE THEM!)

Was hoping for a little advice on shoes….Heading to Disney with my two little men (3.5 and 9 months), and I need cute shoes that I can walk in for a LONG time…and NOT look like a total dork:) I know tennis shoes are probably best, but I want to look cute! Hoping you may have a suggestion or two.
Thanks so much!!
-Courtney  (Beesmama)

Thanks for the question Courtney (and for the sweet words about the blog)!
I knew immediately that I would recommend TOMS to Courtney. 
She had never heard of them (so I was thinking that there might be some of you that had never heard of them either).
Here’s what you need to know:
TOMS are crazy comfy. 
Like CRAZY howintheworldcanashoebethiscomfy COMFY.
They are also a company that gives back!  It’s called their One for One program, and for every pair of TOMS that is purchased, a pair of shoes finds their way to a child in need.  Cool!
I got my first pair for Christmas two years ago (leopard sequined TOMS),
and I wear them constantly.
Now it’s time for me to get a cute fresh new pair for Spring and Summer!

Here are some great brightly colored TOMS.
The middle one is an example of their two-toned line.  I love the pink and coral pair (just click on the middle pair to see other color choices).  These will be so cute with khaki shorts and a t-shirt.

Here are some super cute neutrals.  They all come in different similar colors too (ex. the grey ikat also comes in a light pink ikat that is SO cute!).

And here is just one examples of the wedges that they started carrying.

TOMS are the kind of shoes you can walk ALL OVER CREATION in, so they are great for taking on vacations to Disney, to Europe, wherever!  (Shay has taken her TOMS all over the world)
I’m really more of a walking ALL OVER THE MALL girl, and they are good for that too. 😉

I’m telling you, if you don’t have at least one pair of TOMS, you need to remedy that.
Like yesterday.

If you would rather go the tennis shoe route for your vacation (or your work-outs, or just your everyday wear), there are lots of cute options out there right now!
I only wish these would run for me.
Here are 3 of my brightly colored favorites.  So SO cute!

**********
 Now….
Before you go, I would like to introduce my newest sponsor to you!

Karen from Hoot Mama Lockets (an Origami Owl business)!!!
You can find her button on my sidebar.  
Prior to Karen contacting me, I had never heard of Origami Owl, but I’m so happy to know about them now.  Click HERE if you want to know the Origami Owl story.  (Unbelievable that a young girl who was 14 at the time started this company!)

 The heart of the business is their Living Lockets.  You personally customize them for you and your loved ones by picking out your charms, your favorite locket, and then other extras as you wish.
The whole idea is that every “living locket” tells your story.  Pretty cool!

My favorite above is definitely the “faith” locket.  So so pretty.

In addition to their Living Lockets, they also have their Tagged line (my personal favorite) that you can find HERE.
I love this combo.


 And guess what?!?
Karen is doing a giveaway today here at Pinterest Told Me To for a $40 Origami Owl Credit!

You can have up to 2 entries:
1 entry for leaving a comment saying what you would buy with your $40 credit (click HERE to take a look)
1 entry for liking her facebook page HERE and leaving a comment letting me know that you did

From THIS site you can place an order, look at the catalog online,
or even join Karen’s Origami Owl Team!
Karen also has a blog that you can find HERE.
Go look around and see what they have to offer!

I will announce the winner next Friday!

And if you are a Rascal Flats fan, they have a special promotion going on that is really neat.  See about that HERE.
Good Luck everybody!
And have a wonderful weekend!

    Eeks! I have so much to comment on today! First, I have the Stella and Dot earrings in blue and they are my favorite! I get complimented on them everywhere I go. Love them! I also love the pink blazer. It is such a fresh look and color for spring. And Toms…I have 4 pair. They are the best travel shoe. And by travel, I mean, for those days when you travel to the grocery store, Target and McDonalds. And finally, those necklaces! I want one! So much! Happy Friday!

    Hi Sheaffer…I'm an avid blog reader from good ole' Missouri (Erika's cousin…she may have entered all the family in the pinterest told me to contest…including my mother…oh my word!) On a different note…I LOVE those necklaces. A college girl at our church got one for Christmas from her fiance and I told my hubby I would love to be surprised with one of those for Mother's Day! I would love to get one of the ones you can personalize with different charms inside!

    I had a coral linen blazer in my Nordstrom (Gibson brand) shopping cart to finish off my Easter outfit. I hadn't bought it yet due to the higher than what I usually pay price tag! But, thanks to your post, it's purchased & will be here in time to complete my Easter outfit. Thanks!!!

    I am in LOVE with Toms!! I have two pairs (plaid and grey) and love them! I'm about to invest in my third pair and i'm thinking one of the lace ones or sparkle.. I go back and forth!! My grey are wearing so I really need a neutral pair but I want another fun pair as well.. oh fashion problems!! Secondly i've been eyeing those Oragami Owl necklaces!! I've seen them a few places, I would definitely get one with my new initials and probably our birth stones! We are getting married in 6 weeks so it'd be such a treat for myself from myself 🙂 I love reading your blog b/c I do love fashion I just wish we had some good ole nordstrom or Dallas stores around AR!! oh the day…! 🙂 I used to frequent Dallas a lot in college but not so much anymore…

    First of all, I got out of my comfort zone and just bought my first denim shirt in your honor. Second of all, I would get a necklace with my kids birthstones OR my good friend is turing 40 this year and we're going to Mexico so I think I will get her one to commemorate our trip. Angie Buckner

    I love those necklaces, would love to get one for my mother-in-law for her birthday!! Something I'm obsessed is Maurice's plus size line. I'm a plus sized girl and it's so hard to find good quality, stylish clothes in my size. Maurice's plus size line is amazing and stylish so I feel like I can fit in with everyone else. I love your site, gives me inspiration to go out and see what I can find in plus size fashion!!

    Was this girl a kappa?! I love all the owls, keys, and fleur de lis (yes, had to confirm spelling. What kind of kkg and I?!)
    But I think I'd buy some for creightons & harpers Mother's Day out teachers as end of the year gifts. I like the silver ball station chain and I think I'd do different inspiration word charms and dangles. Super cute.
    And lastly you know my weird personal thing about Toms (so wish I didn't feel that way!) so I buy sanuk's which are super cute and comfy

    First, I have to tell you that I put together an outfit that I never thought I would earlier this week. I'm 22 weeks pregnant, but I pulled together a navy and white stripe tank with a green cardigan and mustard yellow shoes- 3 colors that I'd never have worn together, but i'm so excited about color again thanks to your blog! Second, if I won the gift certificate I'd purchase a necklace that would hold all three of my daughter's initials and a pearl, b/c their names all mean "Pearl"… And, I really, really need to buy myself a pair of Toms. I've been telling myself that for a year now!

    Cute! I would pick a living locket with birthstones of our family, a cross, and a starfish for the child we hope to bring home through adoption someday. Or, I would design a "survivor" locket for a schoolteacher who I work with who was recently diagnosed with cancer. 🙁
