Happy Hump Day!!  Haven't done an Instagram round up in awhile and thought it was overdue.  This one is a bit long (sorry!).  I only chose pictures that I could still link the items to.  I hate showing you guys something and then you're not able to buy it, that's no fun.  So don't forget to check my Instagram for all of my updates!!

I'm obsessed with these sandals!

one of my favorite mani's recently.  

I'm loving everything Express has for Spring/Summer right now.

Happy Monday!!  I wanted to share a bit of what's been happening on IG lately.

Both of these sleeveless tops are from Express and I lived in them all summer!!  They are perfect and will also work into fall.

On September 14th we celebrated our one year wedding anniversary.  It was pretty low key as we are finally going on our honeymoon to Jamaica (in 8 days!!).  Our bakery provided us a small cake which was delicious and we headed into Boston for dinner & drinks, which of course led to a pit stop at Georgetown Cupcakes.  If you've never been to Georgetown, run there now!  They are amazzzing!  As for gifts (we stuck with the traditional paper) I bought him an art piece of handrawn sheet music of our wedding song.  It came out amazing!  You can always count on Etsy!  He of course outdid himself getting me a gift certificate for a mani/pedi, gift certificate for a facial and massage and tickets to see a cover band that we used at our wedding!  So sweet!!

These leopard flats were a new fall purchase and they are so comfy and such a steal!  Target does it again!

Recent blooms.  Sidenote - I actually work as a Lead Event Coordinator now for Blissful Events here in RI.  I am LOVING every minute of it and one awesome perk is taking home beautiful florals (purple & white).

A new necklace purchase I'm in LOVE with.  If you have never heard of Ikavee on IG, you're missing out.  She stocks amazing pieces.  Go check her out!!

Happy Tuesday!!  This past weekend we celebrated one of my bestie's (she was the MOH in my wedding) bachelorette party in Boston.  It was so much fun and I can't wait to share tomorrow!  Until then here has been what's going on over on Instagram (@sparkleandsoulblog)!

I'm baaaaack!  I have been gone far too long and I apologize.  Things have been a bit crazy!  On the plus side, found out yesterday that my grades this semester were two A-!  Go me!!  Here's a little peek at what's been going on!

safe to say I like this color combination.

This Mindy Mae's Market necklace is perfection!

these sandals were an $8 Target steal!!

red shoes

I desperately need a shopping trip but this New England weather is confusing.

Hope you're having a great week so far!!

Insta Life & Cinco De Mayo

it rained too much last week and I was feelin' the blues.

finally nice on Saturday = sandal weather!

still nice Sunday but the wind made it a bit chilly!

last night's perfect size dessert! [mini pie crust, butterscotch pudding, whip cream]

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, tonight we are having tacos and margaritas!! [totally cliche, I know!]

Happy Monday!

Little of bit of this & that

Sorry loves for my absence.  Last week was a bit crazy.  I had something going on every night and then the bridal shower I've been diligently planning was on Sunday.  I'm soo happy with how it all turned out and the bride loved it too!  I can't wait to share it all tomorrow for Wedding Wednesday.

Here's a sneak peek of the cake

 Here I am at Easter hiding the eggs for the kiddies to find!

Sorry it's been quiet around here.  I haven't had much time lately and even less coming up.  I have a bridal shower to finish pulling together and I will be away this weekend.  Such is life, right?!

Tuesday Shoesday

The hardest part of blogging, for me, is coming up with a good title.  Anyone else?  Bueller? p.s. I apologize for the lack of postings Friday & Monday.  

This entire post will not consist of all shoes BUT I did want to share the three pairs I snagged a few weekends ago which are the perfect Spring additions.

The color blue of these ALDO flats is stunning in person.  Who doesn't need pink (color not online) GAP flats for Spring ?  Why have I never tried LOFT flats?  And this neutral color is perfect!

Snapshots via Instagram last week

Feeling very festive on St. Patrick's Day.

I loooove these over the knee boots but I really want to wear dresses without tights and sandals!

one of the partners at my law firm bought all the girls flowers for the first day of Spring (aww!)

denim on denim for girls night out this past Friday!

Have an amazing Tuesday!
