Pinterest Told A New York Time’s Best Selling Author To!

By 570 Comments

Pinterest has NO SHAME.
Today she’s going to boss around a New York Time’s Best Selling Author!
WHAT?
WHO DOES PINTEREST THINK SHE IS?
No shame I tell ya.
Who’s the author that she was so bold to boss around?
Melanie!
The genius behind the Big Mama blog and the author of the newly released
Sparkly Green Earrings.
{Lots more on the book at the end of the post….not to mention an AWESOME giveaway…
so stay tuned!}

Melanie was emceeing at dot mom in Frisco this weekend, and I got to meet her!  Read yesterday’s post HERE about how Shay and I headed up to the conference to meet some of our bloggy idols!
It. Was. Awesome. 🙂

Melanie looked SO SO Cute, and she used Pinterest to inspire her outfit!
This was her inspiration.
Seriously cute, right?

She threw the outfit together and she WORKED IT.
She mixed black and brown to perfection, and her black dress was styled just right with her jewelry and denim jacket!

 Here’s the thing about Melanie’s look that I loved the most:
She was super cute, like SUPER cute, without looking like she was trying to hard.
And isn’t that pretty much the look that we all strive for every single day of our lives?!? 

😉

Black Dress|  local boutique, exact dress found at the following address
(sorry…couldn’t get it to link properly….just cut and past it into your browser)
  http://camelliaapparel.com//custompages/camellia/cha-cha-maxi-dress-pid10903-840012
Jean Jacket|  True Religion at Nordstrom (several years old), similar HERE
Belt|  Old Navy
Necklace and Earrings|  Kendra Scott, earrings found HERE in green,
necklace found HERE in green
Frye Jackie Tall Button Boots|  found HERE , in brown

And just for fun…when searching for a similar jean jacket….I came across this little gem:
 
You’re welcome.

And if you are new to the blog and didn’t see yesterday’s post,
I of course let Pinterest tell me what to wear too!
Click HERE for all of my clothing sources.  You should know that I’m totally and completely OBSESSED with the new denim shirt I’m wearing (it’s actually a tunic top and seriously flattering), my new green earrings (best earrings I’ve ever owned, no lie), and a new pair of brown boots that I have my eye on.  Click HERE for all of the links!

Okay….now back to the book….
Let’s first spend a minute on how absolutely DARLING the cover is.
I mean, LOVE the silhouette and the cute little high ponytail.
I wouldn’t blame you if you bought the book for the cover alone….
but what is inside the book is even better.

 I read it from cover to cover in 2 days.

While
reading it, you will most probably shake your head vigorously in agreement,
clap your hands out of sheer joy, say “yes!” out loud several
times, and there will of course be lots of LOLing. 

You might even snort once or seven times.
And you will also get a good little cry out of it (the best possible sort of cry).

At least I did.

The book is sweet, and hilarious, and honest, and real, and just a perfect read.
It’s about being a mommy, loving your family, cherishing the moments of your life, and trusting God.
Doesn’t that sound like something that you need to read?

 Get the book HERE.

Like right now.
Buy it for yourself and all of your girlfriends.
And for your mom.
And for your mom’s girlfriends.
And for your girlfriend’s moms.
Oh….and if your daughter is a mom,
buy it for her and all of her friends.
Got a girl cousin that’s a mama? Buy it for her.
Got a niece that’s a mama?  Buy it for her.

You might be sensing a theme emerging.
buy. it.

I do have some great some great news for a couple of you.

Two of you have a chance to win your very own copy!  SIGNED BY MELANIE!
And one of the winners will also get THIS pair of Stella and Dot sparkly green earrings.

 What do you have to do to enter?
All you’ve got to do is leave a comment!
That’s it!  
I will draw the winners next Monday at 10:00 p.m.,
 and I will announce the winner on Tuesday’s blog post.
Don’t want to wait to win them and want to order them for yourself?  I don’t blame you.
Click HERE to order. 

But listen, don’t wait and see if you win the contest before you buy the book.
If you happen to win, then you will just have an extra copy to give to a friend!
I’m telling you, you don’t want to wait to read this book.
Order it right this very second.  Order AT LEAST one.
See below for vendor options!

    I would love to win! I gave a copy of her book to a friend of mine who is in the momma pit. She text me while she was reading it and said she was laughing so hard she was crying and it was causing her not to be able to see the pages to read! Made my heart so happy!!

    Found your blog through Melanie's post this morning! I just love her, and you are so right about her book. It is wonderful. I was blessed to meet her at her book-signing in Houston a couple of weeks ago, and she's just as nice and cute and funny as I knew she'd be. I'd love to have another copy of her book for a friend! I didn't buy enough the day of the signing. And those earrings? Yummy!

    I am reading or should I say laughing my way through this delightful book. After all these years and grown children it is good to know I am not the only wild and crazy mom on the block to have those ideas, I was even somewhat normal 🙂 Great read, Melanie!! It would be great to get a copy for my daughter as Im certainly not parting with mine (except of course for a signed copy 😉

    I am reading this book, or should I say laughing my way thru this book. After raising children it is good to know the thoughts and ideas were somewhat normal… I think like Melanie…go girl.

    The book sounds lovely! And, yes. You are spot on! I would love to have that "Oh, I just threw this on…does it look ok?" kind of outfit without really wondering if it actually looks ok. I'm pretty sure my daily uniform of tank top, cardigan and yoga pants would get a resounding "No…it doesn't look ok" kind of answer. 🙂

I mean it in a very kind & sincere way. Bought the book b/c I trust your opinion & why not, it's 10 bucks! Also talked my sister into buying it…I said Sheaffer thinks this book rocks…that's all it took. You & Shay are awesome. No, I don't know Shay either, but I adore her bro, saw her on bachelor a couple weeks ago and have been reading your blogs ever since. A whole 3 weeks maybe & I'm hooked. Thanks for putting yourself out there…you rock. I love the sparkly earrings too!

    I just found Big Mama's blog a few months ago and it has become a highlight of my day. I found your blog through hers today. It's a great blog. Thanks for writing it.

    I love your blog! I have very little fashion sense, and you along with "Bossy Pinterest" are giving me great ideas, and making me want to shop, shop, shop!! I have to slow down! I would love to win and read this book! It sounds great! The earrings look pretty awesome too!;)

    Your blog is always snort coffee through the nose hilarious! My coworker friend and I have decided that you would be the most wonderful friend to have, as I'm sure you're always good fun! 🙂 This book is a must as a gift for my sister and those earrings -they were MADE for me!(I know, selfish-right?! But it's just my finders fee for the awesome book my sister simply HAS to have!) Keep up the awesome blog, you just don't know how much it's needed!

    Sheaffer… you are awesome! Pretty sure I'm in love with your blog. 🙂

    I'm a new mom myself, and I could use a few LOL moments in the middle of the night while I'm awake with my little one! As for the earrings… I don't own anything like them. Frankly, they scare me a little, which is exactly why I'm submitting this comment and entering this time! If Pinterest AND Sheaffer say 'colorful teardrop earrings,' then by golly, I need me some teardrops! 😉

    I have no cute & colorful earrings and I need these. And I think the book sounds delightful. And (this will sound crazy…..) but your face & name are familiar to me and I think I've figured out its from rush at OU? Anyway, this world just gets smaller and smaller :). Fun blog you've got here!

    I love seeing all these Pinteresttoldmeto outfits and reading all these linked blogs. It totally makes me want to get a bit more adventurous with my wardrobe choices. You girls all have great figures and rock your individual styles. Loving all the bright flashes with the scarfs and jewelry. I'm off to work out and then sort through my wardrobe. Consider me inspired!

    Loving your blog! It has become one of my favorite "me" time things to do at the end of each week! Thank you for always bringing a smile to my lips and from the gut-laughing along with a few real tears. I love your zany bold style! You rock, Shea! By the way, When you went to the Dot Mom Conference, was Priscilla Shirer there by any chance? I heard her talking on twitter about the Dot Mom conference and was just a little curious! Thanks again. I am starting to get a little sad that Bachelor season is almost over! What will we do without your Bachelor blogs?

    Thanks for your blog! It's fast becoming one of my favorite "me" time things to do at the end of a long,busy week. Your recaps bring a smile to my lips, a gut-wrenching laugh and at times real tears to my eyes. I will miss your recaps as much the Bachelor when it is over. I look forward to your witty, "Sheafferisms!"
    Thank you for saying what we are all thinking or might of thought if we took still shots! 🙂
