I'll Take It


Happy Friday Babies! So glad this week has come to a close! It flew by for me. What about y'all? One of the many things I love about Texas (love-hate, to be exact, lol ) is the unpredictable weather. The cold mornings and mild days make it possible for me to wear dresses without tights, for today. I could not go all winter without wearing a dress or skirt. Dresses are my go-to's whenever I don't know what to wear. They are so easy to throw on and still look put together! I'll take my mild days, for now, and pick up a few pairs of tights for those colder Texas days!

Finds Under $40! Booties!

Hey loves!! Welcome to this week's Finds Under $40! Bootie Edition! I have been obsessed with booties for the past 6 months! I cannot get enough! Seriously. They are comfortable, chic, and just plain fun to wear. Sometimes a flat can just fall flat (for lack of a better word). Booties can give that extra "somethin'-somethin'" to your look. From western to glitter---I've got you covered in the ankle boot spectrum!

Finds Under $40! Booties!

{1: $45.50 | 2: $28.00 (on sale!) | 3: $34.99}
{4: $35.00 (on sale!) | 5: $35.00 (on sale!) | 6: $22.40 (on sale!)}

Bright Stripes

Hey Lovebugs! Happy Wednesday! How did Cyber Monday go for y'all?! I was good and didn't buy anything! But, now all the crazy "after Cyber Monday" deals are killing me! They've kept the sales going and it's only a matter of time before I crack! I'll put things in my shopping basket and see what I actually go back to purchase--that means you really want it? Right? Sometimes when Winter really hits the color can run right out of your wardrobe. You tend to dress for how you feel and wanting to stay warm. I, for one, am always "ready to wear my cute winter clothes" but after a week of cold weather I'm ready for some heat and sun! That's why I try to keep bright colors in my wardrobe. It's fun to mix it up (prints, colors, etc.) and keep the drab out of Winter!

Layers!

Hey Loves! Welcome back to reality! I hope y'all had an amazing Thanksgiving Break! I loved every second of it! Getting to spend quality time with friends and family is the best! Now that the weather is changing you have to adapt your clothing as well! I, for one, am in love with maxi skirts and dresses! One simple way to get them to transition into the colder months is layering! I layered a gingham shirt and neon jean jacket over my maxi dress to make it warm enough to keep in my clothes rotation! Layering is definitely a simple and cute way to keep some of your summer favorites in your winter wardrobe!

Changes!

Hola babies! As you may have noticed I have changed my Blog Name and site URL. I have been debating the name change for months and just decided to go for it! I wanted this to be my blog name from the beginning but decided against it whenever I couldn't purchase the domain. I wasn't completely happy with Olive And An Arrow--and as I always say--if you don't like something, change it!

Why Hey Love? 

It can mean so many things!  From a greeting to an expression of appreciation. It has so many sides to it, as do I; therefore, it couldn't be any more perfect!!

Links! (All of them have changed! Sorry! So please update them!) Just click!

Anticipation

Hey babes! How was y'alls weekend? Mine was crazy fun! I had spent all of last week dying for my brother to come home for the weekend! My parent's had bought him a Jeep Wrangler for graduation and I was dying for him to see it! We went and got it on Monday--and like I said, once I have a gift for someone I cannot wait to give it them--so you can see my dilemma! hahah It was great though. We went to a party store and got a huge banner that said "Congrat's Grad" and some balloons! The expression on his face was totally worth it! It's a month early; but, it's okay! I'm a proud sister!

Hey! Hey! You! You!

Happy Friday Babes! Are any of y'all going to see Twilight? Or have you already seen it at a midnight showing?! I'm not going to lie---I'm definitely excited! I promised my brother I'd watch it with him (soo funny!) but I think we're going to wait until the middle of the week. I'm not a fan of going to a super packed theater! This outfit incorporates some of my classic favorites. Stripes and boyfriend jeans. You can never go wrong with that combo!

Finds Under $40! Get The Look! Taylor Swift!

Hola babies! Welcome to this week's Finds Under $40! Get the Look: Taylor Swift Edition! I've been obsessing over her new album for the past couple of weeks so of course her style would cross my mind.   Taylor's style has evolved over her career and I love where she has taken it. It's a combination of classic and whimsical. On any given day you can see Taylor wearing a dress, jeans, or shorts, but she always puts that classic spin on it. She wears iconic silhouettes and you can see her channeling the understated 50's genre. I love it! Check out my take on the look she wore out in London!

{Cardi: $27.80 | Top: $20.00 | Scarf: $15.00 | Shorts: $19.80 | Heels: $39.99 | Bag: $19.99}

Loving the contrast of the orange with the camel and her oxford pump!

Picture It

Hey babes! Welcome to the middle of the week! I cannot believe next week is already Thanksgiving! Wow! That much closer to being able to listen to Christmas music! hahah I guarantee the Christmas Stations will be on blast the day after Thanksgiving on my Pandora! Love love love it! Something else I'm obsessed with this Fall/Winter--and most likely Spring is leather! A good leather jacket can change your look 180 degrees. Add it to a dress, maxi skirt, romper, you name it! I guarantee you that it'll give you that edge you're looking for. Also, a leather jacket lets you take some of your more warm weather pieces into the colder months!

Match-up

Hey Babes! Happy Monday! I hope y'all had a great weekend! I went to my very first hockey game on Friday! It was tons of fun---even though I don't really know the rules haha---I am definitely going again! Go Texas Stars! I also went to my little cousin's quinceanera where the mariachis played their version of "Gangnam Style". Can you say crazy?!! but cool?! Haha they definitely brought the party! I wore this outfit on Friday to the game. The key to enjoying a hockey game = layers! It's gets cold in there guys!

I Never Saw You Coming

Happy Wednesday Lovebugs! I've been searching for a utility jacket for ages. When I saw this red version I was sold! The color pops and adds a little something extra to the regular ol' utility! Right now in Texas it's chilly in the mornings and in the high 70's by the afternoon. Needless to say, I'm honing my layering skills! Love a good chambray to wear underneath sweaters and jackets!

Belted

Happy Monday Dolls! Man, did this weekend go by in a flash or what? I spent mine doing a little shopping run (while I was supposed to be returning some shoes I had ordered) and spending some quality time with my little brother. I say "little" even though he is about to graduate from college. What can you do? I cannot believe it is already November! I'm going to be "one of those nuts" and say I cannot wait for Christmas! It is my favorite holiday! I need to start gift shopping already! I love buying gifts---but then I cannot wait to give them to the people I buy them for---so I can't get my gifts too early!  Are any of you like that as well?

Finds Under $40! Graphic Sweaters!

Yayyy!! It's Friday! So ready for this weekend! This week's edition of Finds Under $40! Is all about the Graphic Sweater Trend! I've been seeing them everywhere---and have bought a few myself! While, I'm in love with the ever-so-cool Wildfox sweaters; they are a bit on the pricey side. Especially for a sweater that you can't wear all too often since they are definitely eye-catching and quirky! Thus, I've scoured the net and found some great alternatives that are just as cool for a fraction of the price! Check out my finds!

Finds Under $40! Graphic Sweaters!

{1: $34.50 | 2: $39.64 | 3: $40.00 | 4: $22.80 | 5: $33.35 | 6: $22.80}

I'm loving the Eiffel Tower sweater (love the back detail on it!) and the kitty sweater! What's your fave?
Hope y'all have a great weekend!
