I did happen to stop into the thrift store on a search for something unique the other day and although these shoes didn't work for what I had in mind- they did come home with me. I am a sucker for lace-ups and espadrilles so these are just fun shoes for me. And they were a deal!

For the last few month's we've been working on making Mother's Day special at Nickel & Suede. So many women and their moms love our earrings- we just had to celebrate them and their special day.

I picked up this long cardigan in my shopping frenzy to find some items I felt good wearing to Go Blog Social- a blog conference here in Kansas City at the beginning of April. I wasn't sure what look I was going for- especially since I was speaking- but I wanted some fresh things that felt like me and I felt comfortable in.

Today is a big day in Kansas City and this week is a big week for baseball fans everywhere. As I dropped Kesler off at preschool this morning, I couldn't help but notice Royal's tees everywhere I looked.

It's Spring Break for us here in Liberty and this is the first year since I was in school that it has affected us. We finally have a grade schooler and I have definitely been looking forward to having him home for a week.
