Love or hate Valentine’s Day, it’s still full of sales so why not profit on that angle, am I right? The boys have cute parties at school so I threw together a fun little outfit to be festive along with them!

| Lips Top | Distressed Skinny Jeans | Similar Leopard Clutch | Earrings |

| Similar Watch | Bangle Bracelets |

And how can we not add in my favorite shoes?! They really are just perfect for all holidays

And out of sheer laziness I am just going to link some of my fave picks from each store! Show a little love for yourself this year and grab something that puts a smile on your face! Especially from this new line that Bauble Bar has launched at Target! Affordable and adorable are two words that have me snatching things up before they are gone

I hope you all have a beautiful week!

Anthropologie Inspiration is at an all time high for me right now! Now notice I call it inspiration because y’all know that I am all about a good deal and these things are not in my price point.  But that’s how I get inspired and more creative! If I have to make my own or search HomeGoods for something similar… I’m all about the good deal brag.

What I love about looking though is seeing how fashion and interior design intermingle each year.  This year is going in a bolder direction with jewel tones, bold patterns (especially tribal), pattern mixing, metallics in an even bigger way than before, and while fringe was popular this last year, I think we will be seeing feathers in the same way this year.  So do I need a purse with sequined birds on it? No.  But do I love the colors and how it’s pulled together? Yes!

| Purse |

The neutral background is the paint on the walls to me with the colors of the birds throughout the room.
| Necklace |

The greens are everything, not to mention Pantone’s color of the year! This necklace makes me want to layer a neutral couch with velvet pillows in all of those green shades.  It also makes me want the necklace but I will control myself.

| Cross Body Bag |

This kimono basically combines it all.  Sequins.  Jewels.  Deep tones.  Fringe.

|Kimono |

And broaches are back in a big way and I kind of love it! I’m not sure that they work into my everyday outfits but what about putting one on a purse or having a bowl filled with antique ones?! Ok… don’t steal that idea!

While I love the all white and gray homes, it’s just not for me.  I need color and I need it infused through out! Whether it’s in pillows or art work or rugs, I like to bring it into decor that can be changed easily.  These tribal prints and patters are beautiful and would not go just anywhere but are note worthy and the bracelet seems like a possible DIY… ok, don’t steal that idea either ok?!

| Clutch | Bracelet |

I’m just going to put this out there… I want this clutch.  My Birthday was last week and if anyone forgot and wants to just send this on to me, that’s just fine.  I could make up something to fit it into my decor but really I just want to adopt it as my third child.

So am I the only one who sees fashion as inspiration for interior design and vice versa? Pin Below for sources later!

I have many people in my life who are next to impossible to shop for! Like the… oh I don’t care what I get kinda people.  You know who you are.  So I made a Top Ten Eleven List of my Favorite Things- just to give some go to ideas for the random presents you might need!

1.  Michael Kors Watch  2.  Humans of New York Book  3.  GlamGlow Face Mask

4.  Kate Spade Planner  5.  Stay Fancy Wine Glass  6.  Leopard Clutch

7.  Kate Spade iPhone Case  8.  Slippers  9.  Peace Sign Tray

10.  Bauble Bar Knot Earrings  11.  Sara Happ Lip Gloss

 Just a few notes… MK watch- always a crowd pleaser and on sale! The Humans of New York book would be an awesome gift! Such great real life stories.  You can follow them on Instagram to see what it’s all about.

Glam Glow face mask basically makes you look 10 years younger after 20 minutes… and no they aren’t paying me to say that.  The lip gloss… I have mentioned it before and it will remain on my Must Have list for life!

I have those slippers in pink from last year and even my Boys try and steal them they are so comfy! Pink and all:) I might need the white ones now though…

That leopard clutch is beyond adorable! If you want to grab an extra one for me that would be just fine! And how cute is the Kate Spade planner and iPhone case?

No clue what someone will like?  Why not get them a little peace sign trinket tray for $14… super cute!

And last but not least… Stay Fancy people with your Stay Fancy wine glass! I may pour beer in mine but it will still be Fancy cause it says so!

I think any of these gifts would bring a smile to a face! And mine… once again… feel free to buy extras for me.  I kid… kinda.

I hope you have a beautiful week and am so thankful for y’all!

Oh and head HERE to find some fun Stocking Stuffers as shown below! (cause everyone needs a banana flask)

The post My Favorite Things 2015 appeared first on Windgate Lane.

It is a joyous day my friends! Just around the corner is Fall and that means fall and winter fashions and the Target Fall 2015 Line has got me super excited!

Forget Lilly Pulitizer.

The new boss in town is Adam Lippes!

And what are Adam and Target bringing to the table you ask? Well only about my favorite thing in the world… Buffalo Check!

Bring a tear to your eye? No worries, here is a plaid tissue box for you…

There’s plaid, there’s gingham…  it is all coming and it looks Gooooood.

You might be wondering what you are missing in your life, well I am here to show you… But first, take out your plaid pencils so you can take notes! Don’t have them? Well no worries, Target has you covered!

| Pencils |

First up: Housewares

The pillows are a no brainer. Buy them. Then cover up with your plaid blanket and sleep better than you ever have.  All Housewares Click Here

And all the better if you can be laying there while starring at your plaid deer head mounted on the wall illuminated by your plaid lamp shades!

Big Baker? No? Who cares, you need this rolling pin. And then obviously you need a cute apron to wear while not using it and staring at your plaid table linens!

| All Kitchen Item Here |

Now I don’t want to forget the four legged fashionistas cause they are covered too! Don’t have a dog? Well you might want to get one…

| Pets |

| Plates |

So now your home and your dog are covered. Take a deep breath because we are moving into Accessories!

I feel like it’s redundant to tell you that you need these things… because we all clearly Need All The Things!

| Watches |

| Scarves | Wallets |

Oh and you are gonna see this girl in these shoes with this bag for sure. Happy Holidays to me! Picture this buffalo check bucket bag with green sweater, black leggings, and a tassel necklace. Done.

| Bucket Bag |

| Travel Bag |

| Heels | Flats |

And the clothes… oh the adorableness.

| Plaid Clothing |

| Black and White Top |

| Rugs |

Now if after all of that, you are not convinced that you need more buffalo check and plaid in your life… here are a few more necessities when you are out camping! Do I camp, no! Might I someday? Hope not, but why not be prepared is my Motto.

Sleeping Bag. Check.

| Sleeping Bag |

Bandaids. Check.

Chapstick. Check.

I now send you off into this Mad Plaid world fully prepared and ready to count the days until this gloriousness pops up at your local Target!

The post Target Fall 2015 appeared first on Windgate Lane.

I am sure y’all have been wondering when I would address the Pineapple trend that has swept the nation.  Well I am here with a special Alert to help you find your Pineapple style

I have started slow with my pineapple infusion with two items:

This ceramic Pineapple that I scored at HomeGoods is now a favorite of mine- loving all the detail but the simplicity because it’s all white.

And this tote bag… well the cuteness speaks for itself! Perfect pool and summer bag!

And another option and a bit cheaper, is this cute one!

Now clothing with pineapples can walk a fine line.  You don’t want to show up to a pool party in Idaho looking like a Hawaiian Princess.  But Lucky has a couple of really cute tops here and here!

And this adorable top!

And then my personal favorite- this tiny Pineapple Charm! What a cute little summer gift for a teacher or friend!

So there you have it! Are you ready to get your Pineapple on?! Or no interest whatsoever?

Have a great day!

Who is ready for a fun Summer Shopping List?! ME!

Sometimes my picks have a true reason for the season… but… sometimes they don’t and I just like and want them:)

Let’s start with my favorite fun outfit~

| Free People Swing Top | Gladiator Sandal | Crossbody Bag | Necklace |

| Tassle Bracelets  |  Watch |

This top is so pretty and so comfortable- it even has pockets hidden in the swing:)  And the rest of the accessories are going to work with almost any outfit you put on!

Now as for summer beauty… my summer will consist of pool, sweating, more pool, more sweating, and travel.

| Evian Facial Spray |

| Fringe Swim Cover-Up | Straw Hat |

A cute cover up is essential and the Evian spray I have mentioned before and love at any time of the year.  But during the summer it is so refreshing and then the Dr. JART masks are just about the best things EVER!

Remember when I told you about Sara Happ LipSlip Lipgloss and how it is the most amazing thing EVER? Well these Dr. Jart Hydrogel Masks are just the Bee’s Knees as well!

I wanted to sleep with the mask on just because it was so cool and relaxing! and no one is paying me to say this… but if they want to, I think I could do a pretty awesome infomercial!  (I should note that you are only supposed to wear it for 20-30 minutes).

The hat is a no brainer.  Listen ladies- we can use tanners and bronzers to get our healthy glow! Say no to sun on that pretty face! Maybe in another post I will show all of my favorite bronzers…

So there you have it- some Summer Favorites! Comment and let me know what some of yours are!

This deal was too good not to put up right away! I have put this Michael Kors watch in my shopping cart about a million times and I reeeaaaalllllyyyy wanted it but couldn’t justify the price because I wasn’t sure it would be an all the time watch for me.

But then… (if you can think of some dramatic music, please hum it now) I was innocently walking through Target and a beacon of light came down… and while I was blinded by the gorgeous watch, I about passed out at the price!

$20.

I’m no math major, but that is like a bunch less than the $275 one!!

The Target version is slightly smaller, which I kind of like because the MK one is super big- but it’s absolutely gorgeous.

Target Watch Here

AND THEN!

When I was searching online for a link for y’all, I found this one!

What is happening?!

Target Teal Face Watch Here

MK Watch Here

Another adorable thing at Target that I felt I had to mention- are these reversible tote bags-  they are very similar to these at Nordstrom, but are larger and perfect for summer traveling!  So many cute colors and $37!

I know what you are thinking… Like you needed a reason to head to Target.  Well my husband was thrilled to find out my new watch was not in fact ‘real’ and that it cost me $20… so make your husbands happy and go get you one!

Happy Shopping!

It is Nordstrom Triple Points time- which means for those of you who have a Nordstrom card- you are working your way towards awesome $20 notes headed your way! If you don’t have one, you can go here to check out the deets.

If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that I was in deep concentration when I received the new Nordstrom Catalog. (Follow @WindgateLane here for sneak peaks and fashion inspiration)

Did you notice that Nordstrom Liked my post? It’s like the MotherLand nodding at me!

Ok, enough chit chat- my faves thus far! This simple necklace comes in silver too and I am wanting it for every outfit- and the friendship bracelet I’m sure most of you had in 8th grade? My eyes can’t make those anymore so for $20 some dollars, I want it!  The Kendra Scott gorgeousness is going in the- I want for Mother’s Day- bag

 | 1. | 2. | 3. | 4. | 5. |

These cute sandal choices speak for themselves!

| 1. | 2. | 3. |

I am loving all of the floral and lace for spring! These are three of my fave picks!

| 1. | 2. | 3. |

I am currently obsessed with skin care and I love my Clarisonic Skin Care Brush– but now I might just need this to keep that under eye skin nice and pretty- and the Dior… such a great spring/summer color and to just throw in your purse!

| 1. | 2. |

And not Nordstrom related but I had to share this water bottle from Eleventh Avenue because it is the cutest and only $11.50! (affiliate)

| Every Day I’m Hustling Water Bottle |

I hope you are starting to see signs of spring like I am!
