Look for Less: Levi's Ripped High Waist Skinny Jeans

Levi's jeans look for less
You've probably seen these on all the fashion bloggers - the popular Levi's 721 Ripped High Waist Skinny Jeans. These feature two large rips on the knees and that's it. I love the look and I love Levi's but one thing I've learned is that jeans with prominent rips and distressing tend not to wash and wear all that well, which is why I'm eying this look for less at American Eagle. They're currently buy one, get one half off, too, which brings the price down further. And they come in short, regular and long lengths!

Look for Less: Splendid Ruffle Sleeve Tee

Splendid ruffle tee look for less
Ruffle sleeves give an edgy camo tee a feminine feel. I'm loving Splendid's take on this trend but found a look for less that's super cute and just $25! Comes in 6 colors in case camo isn't your thing (but how could it not be?!) and they're currently buy one, get one half-off.

Style Finds Under $40 - love that straw bag


This week we're eying festival fashion, Mother's Day gift ideas and more! On a personal note, my husband went back to work on Monday and I managed to survive my first "solo" week as a mom of three! Thank you for your patience as I get back into the regular swing of things. Should only take 18 years or so...

A Few of My Favorite Target Buys // March Edition

Target weekender bag in blush pink - need this for my next trip
It occurred to me recently that I talk about my latest buys on Instagram, but I don't always get around to sharing things on the blog. So today I wanted to share my latest buys from Target that I'm really loving and think you might like, too. I'm a little behind so these are items I bought back in March but they are all still available in stores and online.
