Affordable Spring Style

I found a bunch of INCREDIBLY cute outfits on Pinterest. The only problem is my "must have" items end up costing way too much. Last night I pinned a pair of shorts, after a little research I found them on sale for $499! So I decided to do an entire blog post on cute spring clothing and accessories that will fit in anyone's budget! Here are a few of my favorite affordable items:

Find these adorable red shorts HERE! Only $15.80

You can find this bright and cheery tote HERE! It is $26.80

Check out these super cute Rock and Republic heels! Only $48.99

I love this adorable neon bathing suit. It is only $14.99 per piece.

I just love this fun and unique bracelet! Only $65! 

Love this color combination. This dress is a steal at $68.99!

Shopping Spree!

Do you have a ton of clothes in your closet that you haven't worn in years or even have the tags still on them? Do you have great shoes and accessories that you would love to sell? Wanting to remodel your house but still need to sell your old furniture first?

I personally have a ton of stuff that is in PERFECT condition. Too nice to give away but I never seem to wear them myself. I wanted to bring them to a consignment store but by the time you take them to the store, wait for them to sell and then the store takes a large percentage... it is not really worth it. I have seen consignment pages on Facebook and thought the idea was brilliant. The only problem I have with the current pages is that they are usually very specific with the brands and items you can sell. I have some awesome shoes/clothes/furniture that aren't necessarily covered in the approved brand list.  I wanted a page with no rules, no regulations, and one that is absolutely free.

I came up with the page, Carolina Consignment.  All you have to do is "like" the page. Then take a photo of the item you want to sell and post it on the wall. Include the price, condition, contact information and size. Then if someone wants to purchase this item from you they can send you a message! It is that easy.

I recommend buying the items though your Paypal account. 

Check out the page HERE! If you have any items you want to get rid of, feel free to post them. And shop away. I have a feeling it will take a few months to get enough followers, shoppers, and sellers before it becomes a booming market place. But, I think it could be a great way to clean out our closets and find awesome bargains. And by viewing it on Facebook it removes the sketchiness of Craigslist.

What do you think!? I just added some adorable shoes in sizes 7.5, 8, and 9. And Marisa put up an awesome pair of Versace sunglasses!

Happy Shopping!

Baby Wish List!

As most of you know, I am expecting my first baby in September. With my first baby comes a whole lot of excitement... especially when it comes to shopping for the little mister! But I realize that I can't buy every cute baby thing I see in the store (can you believe I just said that ERIK! I know you are proud!) But it is still fun to have a "wish list!" So here are a few items on my baby wish list. I came across this adorable designer, Rikshaw Design on The Tale of a Southern Belle blog!   And everything on their website is cute!! Harper probably "needs" these, right honey!?  Rikshaw Design's slogan is "hand block prints for your bohemian baby. " Gotta love it!!! What do you all think!? What is your favorite item? 

Babysack!

Bib and Burp Blanket

Sun hat
