***Edited to add two quick book-related notes*****
1. I’ll be in Dallas signing books this Tuesday, March 12th at 7 p.m. at the Lincoln Park Barnes and Noble at 7700 West Northwest Hwy (across from North Park Mall). Would love to see you there if you don’t already have big Spring Break plans. Plus the bookstore is almost like a beach vacation but without the beach.
2. The kindle version of Sparkly Green Earrings is only $5.00 right now. FIVE DOLLARS. You can get it here.
I have no idea how long it’s going to last so you may want to get it now instead of procrastinating like I do.

I have missed you terribly.
Honestly, I didn’t plan to take a three day break but I ended up taking a little road trip to Houston and accidentally stayed up until 2:45 in the morning with some dear friends laughing and talking and solving many, many problems and then I got home and was exhausted and we were out of toilet paper and Advil.
Clearly, we were on the verge of disaster.
But fashion always prevails and so I’m glad that I’m back for Fashion Friday. And I so appreciate y’all being excited about the next book even though you share my concerns over what types of giveaway items I’ll have for a book called The Antelope in The Living Room when it comes out sometime in 2014.
I have no idea. But I promise it won’t be your very own stuffed antelope head. I’m deeply sorry because I can sense your disappointment.
Anyway, here are some cute things I found this week. Or maybe that I found online in the last three hours. Whatever.
This is just so perfect. I love the embroidery. And the flowy-ness. I can just picture this with some skinny colored jeans and a cute pair of sandals.
2. calexico colorblocked dress
Ditto for this. It’s a totally different look, but I’d never wear it as a dress. But as a tunic? Perfect.
3. towne & reese coral earrings
If you’re going to buy one pair of earrings for the spring and summer, well, they should probably be green. However, coral is a close second.
I saw this online last week and couldn’t decide if I liked it or not. But now it has firmly moved into the LIKE category. Love the colors and that’s it kind of different.
5. pleated tank
This comes in yellow or a great royal blue color. Perfect for spring and summer in either one.
I love a good belt. And this is a good one.
I realize online this may not look like anything great. But I saw it in person in the store the other day and thought it looked so cute paired with gold jewelry and sandals. It’s more chambray than it looks in the picture.
Another item called a dress that probably isn’t a dress for most of us. But I love the colors and I think it would be cute paired over pants or leggings.
Now. I realize that some of us may no longer be fans of shorts. But I had to share these for those who still feel okay about shorts because they are so fun. I love the colors. I love the crochet. I love the chevron.
This is called the Perfect Everyday shirt. And I agree that it’s perfect for everyday. And it comes in all manner of colors.
So that’s it for today.
Y’all have a great Friday.
i love all of these!!! you are so funny about the green earrings. it is funny, but I HAVE been seeing more green earrings around lately? coincidence? i think not! loved your book – and love your blog, of course. you have been inspiring me to get out of my yoga pants for years now…although I can’t say I do that too often. 🙂

I accidentally stayed up too late last night myself. Accidentally reading one of the saddest books I’ve ever read. Now, I’m an accidental emotional wreck with swollen eyes.
But, fashion helps:) Glad you’re back!
I’m totally getting that yellow tank. And probably the dress. Posts like this aren’t my hubby’s favorite because I immediately start pulling out my Visa! Have a great weekend!
Oh Shay….don’t even act like you’re not getting the brightly colored short shorts….we both know that would be a lie. 😉
And that perfect everyday shirt looks pretty perfect to me.
I really enjoyed looking at bright, summery colors – bring on the warm weather! By the way, did anyone check out the back view on the Calexico dress? Um, I fall towards the well-endowed end of the spectrum and MUST wear a bra. So, um, how would that work? Am I banned from wearing this?
Love the tank and the belt!
Sounds like your road trip was fun. It’s great you were able to get a little break. Have a wonderful weekend and have fun at your book signings.
Hope Caroline is doing well with the boot!
Let’s get P involved in the giveaway…perhaps you offer a giveaway coupon for a hunt at the Ranch with P. For let’s say, two teenage boys. Without their mother, who isn’t as brave as you are in the hunting department. Snakes, fish, it doesn’t matter what they kill as long as I, er their mother, doesn’t have to witness it or help clean it.
Okay, okay, maybe that giveaway won’t appeal to everyone. And perhaps I was just trying to get rid of my boys for a weekend, but I’m gonna plead the fifth on that.
Love the pleated tank and everyday shirt! Great picks since we are HOPEFULLY getting closer to spring around here. 🙂
Have a great weekend!
My 10 yr asked me yesterday if there was a book I had wanted. And guess, she bought me the kindle Sparkly Green Earrings. She is now my very favorite child and I hope she scored on the sale, but I’m afraid to ask. The fact that I don’t have a Kindle and it’s on hers causes me a little aniexty, but I’m working through it. I started the book last night and OH MY WORD, truly I was giggling and trying to ration how much I should read so not to finish it so quickly. thank you for your words and insight. In God’s love, sheila
Love the earrings! Thanks for the heads up on the reduced kindle price for the green earring book:)
Got the Kindle version for $5 – thanks!
I got the Kindle version , too. Thanks for the heads up on the deal.
Downloaded the Kindle version. Thanks for letting us know. Looking forward to reading this weekend.
HELLO!?!?!? Did you see the chevron necklace on the girl with the pleated tank?? AWESOME!
Love the Everyday Shirt!
BTW, I personally think it would be awesome if I won a stuffed antelope head! 😉
Awesome news about the new book! So excited for you. When it comes to the give-away time—we have a few extra stuffed heads if you need them :). B
Welp, if you were just sitting there wondering who would be your next follower, search no more, my friend. I just found you from 3 Things for Mom and yep, I’m totally in love with your blog pretty much instantly.
I took your advise and ordered your book on Kindle for $5 today. I am already half way through and think it is the perfect book for a relaxing Sunday’s reading. You always make me laugh 🙂
Woohoo! I finally got my Amazon account to work, and I’ve ordered your book!!!! (I feel so behind the times.)
PERRY!!! His name is PERRY!!! It’s amazing what information a five dollar bill can purchase for you!
I know you’ve accidentally let his name slip on the blog before. I know this not because I’ve ever read his name here myself, but because others’ comments have alerted me to the fact that the early bird really does get the worm. And I’ve never in my life been accused of being an early bird.
But now I KNOW! Bwahahaha…
What? Am I overly excited about this bit of information? Don’t worry. I won’t come stalking or anything. 😀
That everyday shirt is pretty cute!
