Showers, shoppers, and statement necklaces


Last weekend Chris' side of the family threw me a wonderful baby shower. It was another one of those surreal moments where I kept reminding myself that this was for our baby!  We were so lucky to be blessed with lots of gifts for our baby girl and couldn't be more thankful.  



I did warn you that I'd mention this again because I'd LOVE to be one of the top 5 in this contest for expert shoppers and am currently number six.  If you already voted you can vote again and all you have to do is click on the love it button here!  Thank you so much!


It's not a secret that I love statement necklaces and know that I am not alone.  Which is why I'm excited to introduce you to a blogger who has a very talented shop full of beautiful necklaces, like this one, which I got in the mail yesterday and can't wait to wear it!!  Not only is she a talented shop owner, but also a mom of two adorable boys that were adopted this last year.  

I'm excited to introduce you to Kelly from Curated by Kelly . . . .

Hello, For Lauren and Lauren friends! I am Kelly and you can find me on my blog, Curated by Kelly, or in my shop by the same name.


I started the shop because I have a little thing for statement necklaces. As in, I own more than 50 of them! I just love how they can make a plain and ordinary outfit truly spectacular. It's fun to curate the collection in the shop and it's even more fun to see how everyone styles their purchases. We do a lot of fun giveaways and steals too!


I also write on my blog for fun. We recently adopted our two boys so I'm an "instant mom." I blog about my favorite parenting finds, adoption, fashion and our every day life. Each Friday I round up my Weekly Favorites. My Weekly Favorites cover anything and everything from Kate Spade shop tours to serious articles.


I hope you'll stop by and say hello!

Thank you so much Kelly!  Definitely go check out her blog and her shop - especially this one and this one which are my favorite!

Recent Favorites

 
top: old navy   jeggings: walmart   shoes: rue 21  necklace: groopdealz

These floral flats I got for $5 for Rue 21 at the outlet mall on our trip.  

These headbands that I bought from this shop.  Can't wait for baby girl to wear them.  

The ladies in my small group who threw me an adorable shower on Sunday.  It is overwhelming and wonderful how much people love us and this baby. 

Stephanie's shop Ooh Baby Infinity.  She is beyond talented and has the cutest things in her shop.  I don't know how I would pick one favorite.  I know I'd love to own this elephant diaper bag, this nautical beach tote or this pink and white polka dot scarf.   I'd bet you'd have a hard time choosing a favorite too!

Sara from The Hinton Hookup.  I love Sara and her sweet blog about life with her husband, and her recent move to New Jersey.  We share a love for old navy, a passion for running, and our love for sharing our life happenings on our blogs.  I've enjoyed reading Sara's blog since I started mine!

Litva's Jewlery by Sandra.  She makes beautiful jewelry from feathered earrings to leather wrap bracelets. Her jewelry would make a great Mother's Day gift, like these ruby red earrings.  Plus she has free shipping on all her items!

A shower, a dancer and a giveaway


Today I had my first baby shower! Another teacher at my school is due soon with her little boy, so my school threw us a combined shower.  I am feeling quite blessed and lucky to be showered with gifts for our baby girl.  Each step of this pregnancy makes it more and more real that this baby is coming and I couldn't be more filled with joy, excitement and a little disbelief!  You can expect that I will be spending some time tonight in our baby room staring at her sweet gifts.


I'm really excited to introduce Ashley to you today.  Ashley is another blogger who I met pretty soon after I started my blog, and I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her.  Besides her beautiful blond hair, adorable boys, and cute style, I love Ashley's sweet personality, her honesty and genuine heart.  You will be lucky to get to know her! 


Hi!!  I'm Ashley and I'm so excited to be here today!  I blog about fashion, family, and a little bit of everything over at Dancing with Ashley.  I hope you'll come say hey!

I'm also giving one lucky For Lauren and Lauren reader their choice of monogrammed stationary.
