Jami's Current Wish List | Saint Patrick's Day Outfit

Saint Patrick's Day is known for its beer drinking....as much as I like that idea, I like the idea of looking cute in green better :) 

1)  Mossimo Supply Co. Juniors Boyfriend Cardigan by Target - $22.99 - I love this color of green and I would slip a white tank or t-shirt under it :) 
2)  Black Lace Leggings by Forever 21 - $10.80 - Then add a cute pair of lace leggings under it to add a little bit of fun to it!!
3)  Women's Angelfish Slip-On Boat Shoe by Sperry Top-Sider - (Black/Zebra Sequin) $90 - I want these, NOW :) 
4)  Ray-Ban Clubmaster Sunglasses by Urban Outfitters - $150 - How cute would these look with this outfit!!

Enjoy your St. Patrick's Day!! I hope you have a cute outfit picked out, I know I do :) 

Guest Wish List | All the Little Details

I'm always so thankful to have Guest Posters and having a friend want to be a guest a second time on the blog is just blissful!!  Layla of All the Little Details (formerly of Simply Savannah Events) was kind of enough to write this fabulous Wish List in January which I promptly forgot to post in all the baby excitement (which we'll be making a formal announcement of the little guy soon, I swear!). . . and since a) it's a really great list and b) it's still totally relevant because you all know we'll have at least one more nasty bit of weather, I'm bringing you her "Winter Survival" Wish List today!  Thank you again, Layla - you're the best!

I did pretty well on my last Wish List post, my husband made me a Keep Calm and Carry On sign for Christmas 2011, I bought a Savannah throw blanket for my mother in law this Christmas 2012 and also got a pink Savannah clutch from Savannah Toile, plus I won a Scentsy plug in and love trying out new scents, lastly I bought an iphone and put lots of music on it!

Big changes for me too since this last guest post....I recently sold Simply Savannah Events and moved way up to the Adirondacks in Northern New York this year so my wish list is going to be items to get me through the COLD winter!

1)  These boots are just so pretty and I love that they have the warm knit ankle detail! They would be more of a social shoe and not super practical for slushy wet thick snow, so that is why I have #2 on my list.
2)  These are very practical and I should probably buy a pair if I want to do any snow angels.
3)  I'll be spending many snowy weekends inside probably watching DVDs and Notting Hill is one movie I don't have yet and so want it! I just can't get enough of this scene, but you have to watch the movie, it's a classic chick flick!




4)  Also great for a cold winter day would be this amazing book! Man I can't wait to get my hands on this book, "Style Me Pretty Weddings: Inspiration and Ideas for an Unforgettable Celebration". So much eye candy!!
