Guys, it has been found.  The YUMMIEST pies in all the land are right here in Charlottesville!  This little gem serves up the best chocolate pie I've ever tasted.

We stopped by and grabbed a few slices... or five and enjoyed them on the porch of our new house with Nick's parents.

Basically, I want to go every weekend.  It is the cutest little store, with unlimited free samples- Heaven on Earth

If you ever find yourself in Charlottesville, stop by The Pie Chest and be sure to get a variety.

My top choices:

Chocolate

Triple Citrus

Pecan

Bell sleeves and jeans

   

Blouse- J Crew (XS)

Jeans- Banana Republic

Shoes- Banana Republic similar

Bag- Madewell similar

Necklace- Target love this one

Short necklace- Kendra Scott

Guys, the bell sleeve craze, I AM LOVING IT.  I didn't think I would love 70's vibes, nor did I think I could pull it off, but I can't stop wearing this blouse. It is perfect for dressing up jeans or even trousers for work.  

I loved it with this long necklace, but it would look great with a multi-layer necklace.

Happy Spring!

April showers bring May showers... 

The rain just keeps on coming. I will say, everything is beautiful and green but I have had to make some shoe changes in the mornings so I am not a soggy mess when I get to work.  

Two years ago, for my birthday, I REALLY wanted Hunter Boots.  I had y eye on these for about a month.  Long story short, I called a local store to make sure they had my size.  They had one left and asked if I wanted to put it on hold. I said sure, that sounds great.  I went to pick up the boots and they told me that about 10 minutes after I called, a woman came in and wanted to buy them and was throwing a fit that I had them on hold.

It was a Birthday miracle because I was having a pretty rough day that day so it was a great ending to the day.  

I bought the fleece inserts for them and they are REALLY cozy for walking in the snow.  I loved wearing these with casual dresses and can't wait to wear them with some cute jean shorts when it warms up a bit.

Happy Spring!

Navy and red- For work

          

Sweater- Banana Republic similar

Pants- J Crew Factory

Shoes- Banana Republic $30 option

Bag- Madewell

Necklace- Banana Republic

This is a great spring work outfit.  These pants are SUPER comfortable and give a lot of stretch in all the right places.  I paired it with a really light-weight sweater.  I tend to get cold in offices so I almost always wear long sleeves.  This is the perfect weight for warm weather and chilly offices.  

Don't be afraid to wear bright pants!  I get compliments on these all the time.  J Crew has a ton of colors so go make some Spring and Summer shopping carts.

Happy Wednesday!

Stripes and denim

     

Dress- J Crew similar

Jacket- Target $30!

Earrings- Target $13!

Sunglasses- J Crew Factory

Shoes- Banana Republic similar $30

Nail Polish- Essie Cute as a Button

Bag- Kate Spade

This is one of my favorite casual outfits, especially when we are travelling.  I have worn this dress on many of our vacations and its extremely versitile.  I love to style it with a panama hat or a denim jacket for casual.  Go snag yourself a denim jacket for $30 at Target!  You will get your wear out of it.  Also, I am LOVING these tassel earrings.  They are definitely not something I would normally go for, I tend to be pretty conservative and classic with my jewelry but so glad I took the leap and tried these, they add a great statement.

Comfy casual

Earrings- Bought them in Bali on vacation

I normally wear heels, some kind of silky blouse and skinny jeans but some days I just need to give my calves a break and throw on some flat shoes.  I scored this flannel at the J crew warehouse sale a few months ago and paired it with some comfy sandals for the weekend. 

Also, if you are trying to stop drinking pop and you don't drink coffee, you need to go try Bai drinks.  They have 70 mg of caffeine but is made of juice, white tea extract and water.  DELISH and it gets me through the day with that added caffeine.

My favorite is the blueberry and Nick's is the coconut.

Have a great week!
