InstaLife + Giveaway Winner

Life as I know it:
We waited all winter for Pool Season, and Kansas gives us a cold front with temperatures in the 60s.  Thanks Kansas.  I mean that from the bottom of my heart....eye roll.

Park play and Baseball Games.  Another Summer pastime.  And my new stripe t-shirt dress from Banana Republic Factory (Memorial Day score!)
A few more Memorial Day Sale scores - Stuart Weitzman pumps for $120 and JCrew Factory's Rainy Day Flats for $14.99!
 The morning I got caught off-guard by the doorbell ringing before any of us had woken up......The guy actually said, "It will take us a few minutes to get set up, so why don't you go get dressed and then move your car."  I'm pretty sure I'm older than he was, but I probably deserved that.
 The week I ate cheese everyday, and subsequently cycled my butt off (literally, I hope.)
Note to self: Never, ever leave a cooling cake unattended.  At least, not with a three year old on the loose, haha!

And lastly (drumroll please):
The winner of the eShakti Dress Giveaway is:

Shelley Zurek!!

Triple P Giveaway: Custom Stickers

I know, custom stickers right?  Stop for a second and think about stickers.  When I first received the email from PrintRunner (an online printing company, obvs.), my immediate response was "hah! My readers don't want stickers" - and I don't either (they are giving me an opportunity to recieve what you will win.)  After some thought, I realized stickers could be useful.  Think about when you go to JCrew and they wrap your purchases in tissue and secure it with.......stickers.  Think about the cute items you buy from an Etsy seller, the packages enclosed with ribbon or a .......sticker.  Think about Cards you might recieve (or even send) that have stickers with monograms or Christmas decals, hearts, etc.  If you think hard enough, you could find a good use for free stickers.  That being said, PrintRunner would like to offer you a chance to win 250 Premium Stock (in full color or B&W) stickers (size 2"x3.5".)


Don't worry, your stickers won't have to look like that.  Mine will look something like this:
or:


or maybe it will be for personal use and I will use a picture of my family.  The possibilities are endless, really.

On Saturdays I Shop

Online.  To avoid the crowds (especially at stores like Forever21....those fitting room lines make me seriously contemplate trying on clothes right where I stand.  Really, I've got nothing good to hide.)

Anyway, here are a few things I'm drooling mulling over (I hate Forever21's return policies by the way; that and their extremely cheap clothing - but that still doesn't stop me!)


1. Athletic Jacket plus skirt
2. Workout Top
3. Leopard Scarf
4. Polka Dot Hi-Lo Top
5. Lace Top
6. Stripe Peter Pan Collar Top
7. Stripe Jacket

What are your thoughts?  Cheap and trendy for the summer?
