MY 3 OBSESSIONS

1) 
THESE Stella and Dot earrings.
I think it should be obvious that I'm obsessed.
I first talked about my love for them HERE , and then I mentioned them again HERE when Lesley was wearing them on The Women Tell All special.
My friend Andrea from Slightly Askew Designs (who just happens to be the designer of this blog) doesn't just love them...she is truly obsessed, and I can prove it.
Check out our facebook conversation last week:

:)
And listen, I know I've mentioned these earrings several times before...
so if you feel like you want me to shut up about them already, I get it.
But ya'll.
THESE EARRINGS ROCK.
I've worn them 4 times in like 10 days...and I'm not even ashamed.

Click HERE if you want to order. 
I don't know why, but for some reason I need to know that YOU know that they are the best earrings on the planet.
I know, I need therapy.


2) 
THIS pink blazer.
swoon
If pink is not your thing, it also comes in electric blue and a neutral.

 I mentioned it HERE on my guest post over at Blue Eyed Bride.
(If you haven't...you should really check the post out.  I highlight my Top 5 Must-Haves for Spring!)
Well.....the blazer arrived, and it is perfection.
It's a great weight, a great fit, and I just adore the striped lining that you can see if you roll up the cuffs.  You guys are going to be seeing this in A LOT of future posts.
And score...right now it's on sale!

Speaking of sale...right now at J Crew Factory you can enjoy 30-40% off ALL dresses and skirts!
Have a reunion you're attending this summer?  A wedding or 4?
You might just find something you like.  Click HERE to shop!

3) 
This is what I'm most excited about showing you today:
Darling TOMS for spring and summer.
I received the following e-mail on Tuesday:

Hey Sheaffer,

 Love you, love your blog! You have (p)inspired me to purchase a few items that I cannot live without now, namely a leopard scarf and the Nordstrom BP Runway boots (LOVE THEM!)

Was hoping for a little advice on shoes....Heading to Disney with my two little men (3.5 and 9 months), and I need cute shoes that I can walk in for a LONG time...and NOT look like a total dork:) I know tennis shoes are probably best, but I want to look cute! Hoping you may have a suggestion or two.
Thanks so much!!
-Courtney  (Beesmama)

Thanks for the question Courtney (and for the sweet words about the blog)!
I knew immediately that I would recommend TOMS to Courtney. 
She had never heard of them (so I was thinking that there might be some of you that had never heard of them either).
Here's what you need to know:

TOMS are crazy comfy. 
Like CRAZY howintheworldcanashoebethiscomfy COMFY.
They are also a company that gives back!  It's called their One for One program, and for every pair of TOMS that is purchased, a pair of shoes finds their way to a child in need.  Cool!

I got my first pair for Christmas two years ago (leopard sequined TOMS),
and I wear them constantly.

Now it's time for me to get a cute fresh new pair for Spring and Summer!

Here are some great brightly colored TOMS.
The middle one is an example of their two-toned line.  I love the pink and coral pair (just click on the middle pair to see other color choices).  These will be so cute with khaki shorts and a t-shirt.

Here are some super cute neutrals.  They all come in different similar colors too (ex. the grey ikat also comes in a light pink ikat that is SO cute!).

And here is just one examples of the wedges that they started carrying.

TOMS are the kind of shoes you can walk ALL OVER CREATION in, so they are great for taking on vacations to Disney, to Europe, wherever!  (Shay has taken her TOMS all over the world)
I'm really more of a walking ALL OVER THE MALL girl, and they are good for that too. ;)

I'm telling you, if you don't have at least one pair of TOMS, you need to remedy that.
Like yesterday.

If you would rather go the tennis shoe route for your vacation (or your work-outs, or just your everyday wear), there are lots of cute options out there right now!
I only wish these would run for me.
Here are 3 of my brightly colored favorites.  So SO cute!

 Now....
Before you go, I would like to introduce my newest sponsor to you!

Karen from Hoot Mama Lockets (an Origami Owl business)!!!

You can find her button on my sidebar.  

Prior to Karen contacting me, I had never heard of Origami Owl, but I'm so happy to know about them now.  Click HERE if you want to know the Origami Owl story.  (Unbelievable that a young girl who was 14 at the time started this company!)

 The heart of the business is their Living Lockets.  You personally customize them for you and your loved ones by picking out your charms, your favorite locket, and then other extras as you wish.
The whole idea is that every "living locket" tells your story.  Pretty cool!

My favorite above is definitely the "faith" locket.  So so pretty.

In addition to their Living Lockets, they also have their Tagged line (my personal favorite) that you can find HERE.
I love this combo.

 And guess what?!?
Karen is doing a giveaway today here at Pinterest Told Me To for a $40 Origami Owl Credit!

You can have up to 2 entries:
1 entry for leaving a comment saying what you would buy with your $40 credit (click HERE to take a look)
1 entry for liking her facebook page HERE and leaving a comment letting me know that you did

From THIS site you can place an order, look at the catalog online,
or even join Karen's Origami Owl Team!

Karen also has a blog that you can find HERE.
Go look around and see what they have to offer!

I will announce the winner next Friday!

And if you are a Rascal Flats fan, they have a special promotion going on that is really neat.  See about that HERE.

Good Luck everybody!
And have a wonderful weekend!
