Etsy Shop Giveaway!

Hello lovelies! Happy Friday to you! I have something fun and exciting to end your week. Since I just launched my new Etsy shop last week, I thought it would be appropriate to do a giveaway with one of my favorite Etsy shops Pearls and Pastries. If you have not been following Lauren's perfectly styled instagram feed, do yourself a favor and start now! Her posts always brighten my day and also make me want to paint my nails with all different colors of Essie nail polish! On top of that, her shop is full of wonderful, sparkly, confetti decorated items such as this sparkly hanger that would be a perfect bridesmaid gift, no? Or this adorable little gold polka dot dish that would be a perfect catch all for your jewelry or lip glosses. I also thought it would be very fitting since I just switched my iPhone case to {this one} and working on something similar for my Etsy shop {here}...

Well ladies, you're in luck because Lauren is giving away one of these pretty little dishes to a randomly selected winner! All you have to do is complete as many entries in the Raffle Copter widget below (the more you complete, the better your chances are to win!). 

Not only that, but today only Pearls and Pastries is giving all Lovely Life Styling readers 20% off your entire order! Just use the code "Lovely20" at check out!

I will announce the winner next Friday! Good luck!

4 Favs // Summer Is Here!

Well, hello bloggettes! Long time no post, huh? I had a fabulous lazy/relaxing/fun 3 day Memorial weekend. So lazy in fact that it was too much for me to even post a recap yesterday! Really though, you would have been bored out of your mind... Just to sum it up, there was a lot of drinking, eating and couch sitting...so exciting!

 

Now that I'm back in action, I wanted to share with you a few of my favs that I've had my eye on recently. I must say that I did fall off of the wagon with the 3 months of no shopping deal...I found some shorts and a few tops that I just couldn't pass up from Old Navy. Also, grabbed this iPhone case on sale! Time for this baller on a budget to hop back on the "wedding saving mode" horse. However, I will say that these items are all must haves for the Summer!

 

 

maxi // sunnies // bottle opener ring // tote

 

Of course, one can't have too many flowy, comfy, casual maxi dresses for the Summer! I'm loving this cotton chevron print one from Hive & Honey via Piperline.

 

I've been seeing these sunnies everywhere! I'm loving the tortoise shell and the shape of these Warby Parker sunglasses.

 

Oh, hello conversation piece Kate Spade bottle opener ring?! No doubt you will be the most popular gal at all the BBQs this Summer with this puppy on your hand.

 

Your Summer wardrobe is not complete with out the perfect tote bag. I'm loving the soft tan shade of this C. Wonder tassel leather tote.

 

What pieces are you loving for Summer?

Friday Cocktail // Moscow Mule

Happy Friday Loves! I'm leaving you this week with a very tasty and refreshing drink that would pair perfectly with any BBQ's you may be attending this weekend.

 

I had my first Moscow Mule while on date night at a new restaurant in downtown Columbus called The Pearl. I was immediately hooked! The tasty burst of ginger beer mixed with the refreshing lime juice poured over ice and served in a frosty copper mug... It may be the perfect Summer cocktail!

 

Unfortunately, I do not have copper mugs {If anyone is looking for wedding gift ideas, you can buy us these ;) }...However, a frosty Ball jar works just as well :)

I'm also leaving you with an ensemble that would be a perfect transition outfit from the pool to a BBQ party you may be attending...

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
