ThredUP's Day One Look

Hey lovelies! I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend filled with lots of glittered ish. We did. We even found a vintage RCA record player at Greatwill. Like one of those big cabinet things that your parents had in the 80's (where everything was Hall & Oates and nothing hurt).

That said, thrift-shopping owns muh face. I love the thrill of never knowing what a store has. Sometimes you find complete treasures. Other times you come out empty-handed and needing to be slathered in Germ-X. That's where ThredUP, an online consignment store, comes into play.

ThredUP buys clothes that take up valuable space in your closet. Then they resale them at amazing prices. They have so many designers and even have children's clothes. Like baby Zara. I die.

So when ThredUP contacted me about picking out a week's worth of clothes, I was all like, let me pull up a chair, raise my eyebrow, and think about that one for a hawt minute. Um. Yes. I'm game.

I literally spent five hours on their website going through not even half of their clothes. And thank sweet baby Jesus that I didn't have to go through the kid's clothes. I'd probably still be going through everything three months later.

So, this week, I'm going to be doing things a little differently. Each day I'm going to "model" a different item I received from ThredUP. Good luck to everyone involved.

Spoiler alert: I'm a blogger, not a model. I love being behind the camera. I like that feeling of being in control. I get super awkward being the subject. And then I have no idea how to work my camera on the whole self-timer mode. And how to pose. I just hit the self-timer button and press my luck. That's basically my strategy. Perhaps you have a different method. And that's okay.

Day one: I received a Nick and Mo peasant style dress from ThredUP. The price? $17.49. I paired it with my Minnetonka suede back zippered moccasins and Ray Ban Wayfarers. I also added a little thrifted belt.

And I have no idea why I'm looking at the sun in most of the photos. It's obviously my go-to pose. Bam.

Mamas & Papas Giveaway [Over]

This giveaway is now over. The winner is Claire M.!! She has won the beautiful Gingerbread blanket from Mamas & Papas! Thanks to all you others who entered this great giveaway!

In our home, we I have an obsession with blankets, pillows, and lamps. William says I have a problem. I'd like to think of it more as a solution. If anyone needs extra comfort, I've got their back.

My love of blankets has even trickled down to my child. The kid adores them. She takes her trusty "Pink Banket" everywhere with her. It's more like a friend than a blanket, though.

That said, Mamas & Papas, an amazing children's company, sent Adrienne a gorgeous knitted blanket to snuggle up in. It's so soft and cozy. And the bright, knitted stripes make this blanket an eye catcher. Plus, it matches basically any color scheme. Win slash win.

Adrienne also loves a good picnic. This guy has become her new go-to blanket to play with. She spreads it out on the floor, picks her favorite buddies to join, and serves them a well-balanced meal of wooden foods. Ba da ba ba ba, I'm lovin' it.

I just can't say enough great things about this great company! Mamas & Papas also has the best nursery accessories and the absolute cutest baby clothes ever. I just wish I could squish Adrienne back down to her 12 month self. Here's to wishful thinking.

I'm super excited about my giveaway this week. Mamas & Papas teamed up with me to offer one lucky reader that same knitted gingerbread blanket!

For your chance to win, just log into the Rafflecopter below (or make a new Rafflecopter account), and follow the directions for each entry. Please make sure to actually do what's required for each entry. If you just click enter and not do what it's asking, I'll know. If you are unsure how to do one, skip it and contact me. I can't stress this enough. I go back and check to make sure the winner actually did what was required. I will not let cheaters win. DON'T CHEAT. Meh.

Accordion Doors

Stopping in real quick on this lovely Friday afternoon to talk about doors. Do you have an old closet door that just takes up room when opened? Do you have one huge living quarter that you'd love to divide into two rooms? Do you have a boring sliding glass door for your patio entry?

If you nodded your head yes to any of those three questions, accordion doors may be your solution. These folding barriers are a fresh and easy update to any room and can also be great conversation pieces. I mean, just re-look at those photos above. Gorgeous.

They even come in a variety of sizes, materials, and designs to match any decor. Accordion doors are also a great choice for opening up or closing off a large office space or conference room, making them perfect for businesses. Hey-oh.

So, if you want more information, be sure to visit Accordion Doors for just about everything you'd need to install one in your home or office. Their amazing customer support team will answer any of your question or concerns. For versatility in an array of spaces, choose accordion doors.
