Random Thursday

•I saw on Saturday that Cynthia Vincent was debuting her line for Target on Sunday. My plan was to hit up Tarjay the day it came out, but that just didn't happen. So, then on Wednesday, after a quick photoshoot, I wanted to check out the goods. Can you believe that in a little over 3 days that the entire section was pretty much picked over? {Yes...} Wow!

I was in luck, though, there was still a pair of the cute wedges left in my size, so I snagged 'em. I almost got the cute flats {like Christine} but they made my big toe look way too long {I've been sensitive to that ever since this guy called me out for having the longest big toe he'd ever seen...thanks for that, dude.}.

sorry for the midgy picture, it's all i could pull off of the Target website

•More Target news -- Zac Posen for Target starts this Sunday. Uhh, two words: yes, please. Check out a sneak peak here.

•Congrats to Sam Bradford, Gerald McCoy and Trent Williams {all loyal Sooners} on being selected in the first round of the NFL draft tonight. Ahem, they went 1, 3 and 4. 

Yay Sam!!!

•The OKC Thunder are in the playoffs and on Sunday I went with some friends to a new pub in OKC to watch the first game in their series with the Lakers. It's called RePUBlic Gastropub. The food was pretty good -- I had the pulled chicken melt with a serrano honey mustard sauce that was HOT. I think it's definitely worth going back to, but maybe not to watch a game -- or if that's the plan, we're definitely waiting a little longer so they can get the service kinks worked out. Anyway, my food was really good and B got the fish and chips, which looked bomb. If you're in the OKC area, check it out.

•Ok, this is super random, but if I were to have my rehearsal dinner all over again, I think I would have worn white {hello, the only time anyone can really wear white to any kind of wedding event is when you're the bride} -- I wore a plum velvet dress from Juicy that I still really love. Anyway, I was on Shopbop the other day and found the most gorg dress. And, even though I've been married for a while, I kinda wish I could go back in time and wear this dress -- or stay in the present and find a good reason to purchase it. Any ideas?

Aja Strapless dress by ADAM, $276 {on sale}

I looove the ruching and the length. Ugh! Swoon!! If only it came in black.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

The weather was gorgeous today, and we had tickets to the OU baseball game, against those nasty Longhorns {just kidding ... kinda}. Although the game didn't end up in our favor, it was great to be outside and enjoying a baseball game.

I love baseball -- good people watching, good snacks and {when it's not NCAA} cold beer!

We had great seats -- to watch the Sooners lose {sadface}


J going gangsta in an attempt to shield his ears and neck from the sun.

Oh, and we put together the Target bookshelf {with no incidences or fights!} that I bought and I can't.wait to get some baskets and get it in the bedroom {and finally get rid of those nasty plastic drawers!}.

Happy Saturday and {tomorrow} Happy Easter!

The look for less

How much do you guys love Target? I think it's safe to say that i LOOOOVE Target.

Now, because i LOOOOVE Target, I'm always right on top of the who's going to be the newest designer doing their looks for less. And, three days ago, Anna Sui debuted her line for Target.

Can I tell you that I love her stuff? I have a dress of hers that I got from Anthropologie a couple of years ago that I still absolutely love. I've worn it to several weddings, and although I haven't broken it out in a while, it's still always at the top of my list.



Anyway, her Target line is pretty great. This dress is definitely one of my faves {and it's only $69.99!!}. I've also found a couple of other must-haves.

If you aren't familiar with Anna Sui, check her out here and then check out her stuff at Target, I think you'll love the pretty clothes ... and the pretty prices. Her aesthetic is kinda modern-boho-chic and definitely wearable. I'm not all that boho in my everyday styling, but a piece here and there could potentially take a look from "eh" to "wow"!

The other thing {that I just thought of} is that I really love all those fab embellished t-shirts. There are a bunch at J.Crew and I've found a couple from other designers. But, it just seems like $125 {or more} for a t-shirt is a teensy bit outrageous... So, I'm wondering if it would be doable to make your own? Would this require a sewing machine? Do I need a bedazzler? These are important questions, people.
