You Remember That One Aztec Sweater Cardigan?

You know, the one many of y'all {as well as myself} drooled over when I saw it on Emily Maynard and posted about it here?

And I spent months and months searching for it, only to find it six months later and brag post about it here?

Well, my lovelies, I have good news. I recently happened upon it once again...because I know many of you went to the site I got mine from after my post and it was sold out.

Rockin' it while preggers

Rockin' it while preggers...with the Minnetonka Moccassin Boots

I have to say, I LOVE this cardigan and it was worth the long, hard search. I've taken the long, hard search away from you because you can get it right here. For $52.00. WHAAAAT?!

OK...now go get it. This is the last time I'm going to help you with this. Probably.

UPDATE: Also just found one here {size L} for $49.00!

 See where I like to Party.

When I Find Things That Are Perfect For Me...

...but I can't afford them.

It makes my heart hurt.

Maybe you can...if you can, lucky you...and you're welcome for sharing this find with you. Also, if you live in the Charleston area, consider letting me borrow it from time to time. Muchos gracias.

Isn't this goddis Linsey Sweater just gorgeous? I died when I saw this on Andee...it is so "SoCal", the style I like to think resonates with me most. I pretty much actually died when I saw the price tag was far too out of my budget for a sweater...$215.00.

I quickly went looking for cheaper alternatives...if you remember, I found Emily Maynard's Aztec sweater for around $55.00 and I haven't regretted it. Wearing it today! It's similar in style to the sweater above, but they both have their own special something.

HATE my blonde hair btw...totally going back to dark soon. I can't deal. LOL.

Anyway, onto those cheaper alternatives...

This Volcom wrap sweater retails for $69.95. Not really my color, but the style is very similar...

This Rip Curl Driftwood Sweater {I actually had to order this one, it's on sale for $47.56 and if you use the code GET15, you get 15% more off of that.}

So while I didn't get that dream sweater, I suppose this will do!

Five on Friday

It's felt like a short week...and it sort of has been thanks to Labor Day weekend! So now it's time for:

{one}
Hear who is going to play Christian Grey in the upcoming film adaptation of every woman's sinful novel guilty pleasure - 50 Shades of Grey? Oh yes, none other than...

{via}

Charlie Hunnam...AKA Jax from Sons of Anarchy. Oh man, he is HOT. Definitely looking forward to this movie now {as if I wasn't regardless!} I'm not so sure about Dakota Johnson, but she does play an awkward, pretty in her own weird way girl pretty well on Ben & Kate, so it fits the bill, I think. Looks like I need to get to finishing the trilogy...I left off last year in the second book somewhere.

{two}
Did you know Grandparent's Day is this Sunday? I was a good daughter and daughter-in-law and had my boys make these for each set of grandparents:

Easy-peasy and maybe a little cheesy, but that's what grandparents love, right?

{three}
My Emily-Maynard-inspired Aztec sweater arrived and it's oh-so adorable. I really love the colors. Here's my remaking of her outfit:

I know, I know, we may as well be twins, right? Ha, yeeeeeah. She's gorgeous...I'll claim her style, not her looks! I can't wait to rock this outfit once the weather cools a bit!

{four}
Did you check out my new command center/bar area I posted about this week?

{five}
These boys are excited to share something with you soon...

Don't they just look so cool? Haha...

Have a great weekend, everyone!

I'm an Emily Maynard Copycat...

... and I'm not ashamed.

Girl has great style, so why be ashamed? Earlier this year, I posted this picture of her because I was absolutely IN LOVE with the outfit:

It inspired me to get my Minnetonka moccassin boots! {I have never regretted that purchase, btw.} However, I could not find that sweater...I even asked her personally on her Facebook page where she got it and she told me www.spool72.com. But unfortunately, they were no longer available. So I eventually forgot about it.

Well, now that fall is quickly coming upon us, it got me thinking about this particular get-up again {because, how cute is this for fall?} and I started doing a Google search for "Aztec sweater", hoping I could at least find something similar. And well, I got better than similar.

{via}

Yep, I got the exact one. It's headed my way in 4-7 business days. If you purchase this beauty, use this code to get free shipping: SHIPTHIS. I had to do extra search to find a promo code {always looking to save where I can} so you're welcome.

Can't wait to wear my Emily-Maynard-inspired outfit around the firepit this season. Sooooo comfy!

Do you have any particular looks you can't wait to wear this fall? It's seriously my favorite season for fashion. See my Pinterest board for many of the fall outfits I've been pinning lately!

Friday Five

Hey y'all - Happy Friday! Cheers to the freakin' weekend, right? Man, it's been chilly here in Charleston! It was so windy the other day, a triangular sign stand flew into my car door at the gas station and I had to squeeze my way out of the car. {Luckily no vehicle damage, but sheesh!}

This weekend is supposed to bring some low 70s temps here in the Lowcountry...I'm thinking Sunday is a definite beach day provided it still looks to be clear and sunny. It is March, OK? I mean, I am done with this winter shit.

Anywho...here are some fabulous finds for my Friday Five...enjoy!

One.

One of my fave style mavens, Emily Maynard, just launched a new lifestyle and fashion blog...can't wait to read it on the daily! Just love that girl's style and she is so dang cute. After all, she is the one that inspired my Minnetonka Moccassin Boots purchase!

Two.

This cute little clover charm...I think it would be perfect to sport on St. Patty's Day, or even just "for luck".

Three.

Barre classes. Yep, started going to them again. My gym now has them for FREE. {I know, right?!} I work at the gym now until 8am on the mornings I work, and then there are classes at 8:15am, so I stick around and take them. I went on Monday AND Wednesday this week and I FEEL THE BURN, y'all. And I workout very regularly...so when I say it was brutal, I mean it. I plan on going tomorrow morning too. Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays will be my new schedule with those classes for sure. I also still have a Living Social coupon for 4 classes at Barre Evolution, where I took my very first barre class last summer. Here's to a toned bikini bod! I recommend you try.

Four.

I'm at no shortage for maxi dresses by any means {I live in them in the summertime}, but I am seriously considering purchasing this maxi dress for the beach...how super-easy it is to throw on and off...great for heading out to the beach bar for an afternoon cocktail right off the beach.

Five.

Lastly, I've been fixated on prepping my wardrobe for spring and summer fashion...looking to Pinterest for great ideas and seeing what I already have that I can use to recreate some of the looks...definitely think I need some sort of bulletin board in my closet to manually "pin" pictures of outfits too so I can look to it when getting dressed in the AM {lightbulb!} But here's an outfit I found that I just L-O-V-E:

{source}

Definitely recreating that with my navy and white striped Gap tee and nude heels. Just need a great pair of nude shorts. And that Celine bag...actually, some might not like that I say this, but I read about so many style bloggers lovin' on that bag right now, but I sorta think it looks like a Lego man face...nice bag, but it's definitely staring at me.

Happy weekend, y'all! xoxo
