Truffles

Tis Monday...again...The weeks move by way too quickly and yet all too slowly all at once. It's crazy. I'm definitely feeling the time crunch on a few things I've got going on right now. I'm trying my hardest to stay faithfully peaceful and hopeful that all will work out but sometimes I still get a little stressed. I was definitely feeling that this weekend. If I'm a little boring and/or absent in the weeks to come it'll be just because of the amount of stuff I have on my plate so my apologies. Anyway, on to cheerier subjects! I saw Maleficent over the weekend with the sibs an the verdict is...it sucked. It was a far cry from the awesome version I grew up with as a kid. I won't go into details, as I don't want to spoil it for you all, but I wasn't happy with what they did with the story. I will definitely be sticking to my VHS version of "Sleeping Beauty". Also, guys, my mouth tasted heaven yesterday. No joke. My Sunday School teacher made us some Cookies & Cream Truffles and, guys, they were the most delicious thing my mouth has ever tasted. I seriously have not stopped thinking about them since I ate one. I have issues. All the same, I'm planning on kidnapping my Sunday School teacher and holding her hostage until she's made me enough truffles to last a lifetime. My sister found the recipe on Pinterest here, so we could technically just make our own, but really, why go through all that effort when we can just stick with my plan A and keep my Sunday School teacher as our dessert slave? ;) Anyway, since you guys don't have any dessert slaves to kidnap you should all check out the recipe and try it out. Let me know if it was easy. ;) Yep, I'm soooooooo lazy. It's cool.

Guys, I think this is the most fabulous top I have ever worn. Seriously, it is sooooo cozy and soft, not to mention that the billowy boho-ness of it is spectacular!! Perfect summer piece! Seriously, guys, Chic Wish is killing it. Which, P.S. they just stalked up their shoe collection and all I can say is, insert googoo eyes emoticon! I mean, these  booties? Must. Enter. My. Closet. Oh, and these strappy leather heels? To. Die. For. They would go perf with a white midi skirt and simple tee!

And Breathe

I meant to post this on Friday, but alas, I got lazy as a daisy and didn't. This past week was a whirlwind! A lot of trials that had been weighing down on the minds of those in my family finally came down to their solution during a two day stress fest. Thankfully and mercifully all turned out well and exactly as we had hoped! I'm definitely feeling as light as a feather now, and like I can finally just breathe. I'm so thankful for the power of prayer right now! I'm also really enjoying the Spring blooms! They're just so breathtaking! It makes me sad that they hardly last, though. A lot of them are already turning into leaves and it's kind of bummin' me out. ;)
Tunic Top: c/o ToAdorn use code "ilovetoadorn" to get 10% off your purchase
Cardigan: c/o American Eagle similar
Jeans: Bohme Boutique similar
Necklace: American Eagle 
Hat: c/o ChicWish

We're just going to keep it short and sweet today. Mostly because I'm exhausted. Anyway, I got this adorable little tunic top courtesy of To Adorn and I'm seriously luuurving it. Paired with these flared jeans and floppy hat, it's the perfect boho Spring/Summer look. Not to mention that this chunky cardi from American Eagle is like my favorite thing ever. It's soooo cozy. If I were tall enough to wear these jeans without heels this would definitely be my go to music festival look! Now, speaking of music, I added two new songs to the playlist I posted on Tuesday that you all must simply listen to! I've been obsessing over them this whole week and they may or may not be the only two songs that I've listened to over the course of 7 days. ;) They're at the bottom of the playlist, "Comfortable With Silence" by Andy Shauf and "Waiting" by Alice Boman.


Much love!
