Face it, that little blue box brings you joy.

It inspired this weeks outfit!

I started with this gorgeous Michael Kors bag with silver hardware.

I added this Target dress is the same color range.

Along with a pair of crystal sandals from DSW.

Anyone who thinks a handbag can’t bring you joy is wrong. This one is such a happy color and I love styling it!

Kendra Scott transformed her love of Mickey and Minnie Mouse into a fun jewelry line.

Her most recent collab brings out the child in all of us!

Cute stud and hoop earrings.

Even her most popular Elisa Pendant dons mouse ears.

Benefits The Kendra Scott Foundation
For every purchase of the Disney | Kendra Scott Mickey Mouse Corded Bracelet, 20% of the purchase price will be donated to the Kendra Scott Foundation (KSF) and directed to First Book to help remove barriers to education and level the playing field for kids in need.

If you’ve been with me from the beginning, you will remember my best first blog was about Kendra Scott. And I’m a long time Disney Fan.

So this collection is extra special.

Mickey Mouse Corded Bracelet

Ok I’m mixing things up this week. I’m inspired by my fellow blogger babe Reagan who shows her own outfits in her blogs.

I RARELY do this.

But this dress deserves its own blog.

I bought it last year from Target and I get compliments every single time I wear it.

I’ve mixed it with green, gold and also hot pink.

I was about to add gold accessories for a night out at one of my favorite rooftops, Whiskey Warehouse.

Then I came across these purple sandals I got last year from SHEIN and never wore.

I then pulled out my H&M $13 clearance purple bag I found last Summer in Raleigh. I’ve always loved the purple Fendi baguette Carrie Bradshaw was carrying when she was robbed so when I saw this dupe I had to have it. And I couldn’t pass up the price!

I completed the look with one of my most prized possessions, my Versace Cuban Chain and added my purple Versace sunnies.

I added a few spritzes of Dylan Purple by Versace I received in an influencer bag recently from Belk at Southpark.

I loved this color combo!! I felt so comfortable and it was perfect for a hot summer night.

Thank you to Reagan and all my other blogger babes that inspire me daily.

As a self proclaimed ‘Carrie’ I was over the moon to learn that one of my long time favorite designers Elisa Lopez would be designing a recycled line for the Charlotte Seen runway with a Sex and the City theme!

The show started with a couple of Very Carries.

A stunning Samantha came out next in sexy sequins.

This Old Hollywood look is definitely Charlotte.

Ending with a serious yet flirty Miranda.

This was so exciting for me because of my love for the show and my love for the upcycled creations from Elisa Lopez

Dreams came true on the Charlotte Seen runway as Rita Miles presented Wonka, a fun filled, fashionable Candy Land delight.

The show took place at the incredible Creative Network Studios.

The multi talented Priyasha Dutta kicked things off as Wonka, selling Wonka Bars to the audience.

Inside five of the bars were Golden Tickets, which the winners cashed in for prizes.

Aurorah Mendez led us into the Chocolate Factory with a song.

We followed her lead through a magical land of colorful fashions.

Colorful explosions, tulle and top hats dominated the runway.

Even the tiny tots got into the spirit.

Come with me and you’ll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you’ll see
Into your imagination…

The singer turned designer has a new collab.

This time it’s with the jewelry house Tiffany’s.

The collection incorporates sharp, spear-like spikes and is offered in 18k yellow gold and titanium.

With an unexpected twist on traditional diamond settings, the pavé pieces feature reverse-set diamonds that expose the diamond’s pavilion, maximizing brilliance and creating an edgy vibe.

The use of titanium serves as a contrast between the subdued reflective quality of the gold and diamonds.

“I’m very inspired by the water, and the name of this collection “Titan” draws inspiration from Poseidon, ruler of the sea, King of Atlantis – “Atlantis” which is also the name of the community I grew up in Virginia Beach” says Pharrell.

This is just the latest in a long line of collabs with the talented Williams. I’m looking forward to seeing more from the great mind of this designer .

Fashion and Pride month go hand in hand.

A few weeks ago I wrote about some of my top designer picks from this year’s Met Gala.

Today I’m bringing you looks, not from high end designers, but from Mall Stores!

H&M dressed more people than Gucci and mall-mainstay Tommy Hilfiger was mentioned more on social media than Chanel during the red carpet.

Gap and Banana Republic also showed up on fashions most notable runway.

Stefon Diggs and Victor Glemaud gave ‘Dapper Prince Charming’ thanks to H&M as well.

Zac Posen wore off the rack Banana Republic with new buttons.

And who can forget Da’Vine Joy Randolph in this breathtaking denim gown from Gap.

Fashion isn’t always about high end labels. It’s about expressing yourself through style.
