Easter for Under $100

Whether you are attending Sunday service or Sunday brunch,

Easter is a great opportunity to dress your best!

I usually base how much I spend on an outfit on how many times I think I will wear it. 

Sometimes, I just find a good deal and go ahead and get it, and I almost always find something to wear it to. I think we all know my obsession with J Crew, and as I get older, I tend to go with a more traditional/conservative look when attending social functions. However, I am completely open when I find fun and flirty frocks especially when they are for a special occasion such as Easter Sunday.

One of my favorite online websites is Modcloth.com 

The beautiful styles are the 50's meets better quality Forever 21

all for a great price.

My first under $100 look for Easter Sunday is this Modcloth dress

It's only Mint Believe

$49.99

which I would pair with these Target wedges by

Haylee Jeans Co 

$34.99

The next look is a perfect for a Sunday Brunch with your favorite couple friends after church

Sea and Santorini dress 

$47.99 

These beautiful high heels will give you height and yellow always complements blue!

Xhiliration Presta Open Toe

   

The last look is this beautiful dress that may not be a bright Spring-y color, but this sleeveless front flap dress is sure to impress everyone at church. A black hat or fascinator would be a great accessory!

One Swell Swoop Dress

$49.99

Which I would pair with these neutral but classy pumps from Target

Happy Easter everyone!

Kitchen Transformation

Hello Everyone! 

I am so excited to finally share the Simmonds Kitchen Transformation!

We bought the paint and finish kit about a year ago, but the timing was never right to actually dive in and get the job done, so this spring break I decided enough was enough. 

This is the before picture of our kitchen (before move in) I was so embarrassed by how bad the kitchen looked I never really took pictures in there.. I was also embarrassed by the brown paint that the people who lived here before us painted the cabinets, it looked so tacky!

Notice there is no hardware of any of our cabinets or drawers.

And this is the after!

Our better view of the kitchen..

Yes, we installed the hardware on our own!

The kit we used was the Rustolium Cabinet Transformation Kit and it was very easy to do, I am kind of mad at myself for not doing it sooner.

The house feels so different with a brighter color and now we have hardware!

Have you done any major transformations to your house lately?!

Spending time with my little one, Wrigley...

And, joining our world class gym right around the corner.
