Chels Wears: Remixed Puppy Skirt

Puppy Skirt: Target | Shoes, Necklace & Vest: WalMart | Shirt: JCPenney

Have I mentioned how much I love this puppy skirt? Probably. I love it. I just haven't put it on the blog nearly as many times as I've worn it, but I figured that it was time to show it off again, since the last time I posted it was in a snow storm. Though I admit that while wearing this I felt like I was going to a sock hop, it made for a fun summer outfit and comfortable to be working in all day.

Chels Wears: Accessory Fanatic & A Giveaway!

Leggings & Tank: Dollar General | Heels: JCPenney | Necklace: Accessory Fanatic

As I'm sure you all know by now, I love companies that have a great story and a good mission. Accessory Fanatic is no different. They create pieces to empower women through providing quality accessories while remaining affordable for the "typical" woman. I was really excited to be approached to review their products and love the two pieces I was sent from them.

The one I'm wearing in the outfit photos above is called Sweet Peaches Geo Rocks and I absolutely love it. Surprisingly, I did not add my usual necklace extender, because I wanted to show the true length, but also felt comfortable enough without it which is very rare. So because I was sent two pieces, I'm sharing one with you! One lucky winner will get to have the piece shown below for themselves! I love both pieces but have more in my wardrobe to go with the peach one then I do the beautiful Double Stranded Geo Enameled Necklace in hot pink, so luckily for you, it can be yours!

Good luck! A winner will be announced on Friday, August 1st!

Chelsea Lately: A Much Needed Update

Hi everyone! Wow. It has been quite the long break from blogging. So sorry to leave you guys hanging, but sometimes you just have to put your "real life" first, and since my last post, that was much needed. Since my last post, I was a bridesmaid in my two best friends' wedding, ran a sports camp at Jumonville for a week with my brother, I turned 25 (!!!) and went to my first craft show for Marion Claire Stationery and opened shop online! So a lot of great stuff has happened, but a lot of great stuff is making it's way onto the blog too. So here's a little catch-up!

Listening: Sylvan Esso. My brother introduced me to them a while ago and now I cannot get enough.

Eating: Nothing inspiring. I need to get back on my cooking game.

Wanting to buy: A new bike! This cruiser to be exact.

Reading: Catching Fire. I promised myself (and others who peer pressured me) to finish the Hunger Games series this summer and it's been taking me a while to actually dig into this second book but I'm truckin' through.

Watching: Every movie on the Family Video new release list. Last night it was Under the Skin...which still has me thinking about it.

Admiring: Samantha, the owner of Broke Little Rich Girl. I'm so excited to hear about her success with the fashion truck and now she's opening a boutique in Lawrenceville and I'm so so happy for her for making her dreams come true and wish her all the best!

Drinking: Coffee and water. I'm trying to let go of pop and mom got me a Keurig for my birthday so more coffee than normal is in my diet.

Wearing: Shorts!! I am usually not a fan, but somehow my legs got tan this summer and I found some really cute ones at Walmart that aren't totally annoying with my chubby thighs. 

Losing sleep over: Nothing. 

Loving: Seeing my kitten chase a fly around the house right now. I hope she catches it though...and kills it.

Excited about: MJ to move north for good! He recently got a job at Edinboro and will be moving to Erie soon and I really cannot wait to live so close to him again! 

Thankful for: Summer living.

What have you all been up to!?
