Things I'm Digging•Things I'm Loving Lately

Things I’m Digging Lately

August 26, 2014
This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them help support this website.
So I couldn’t get my act together Sunday night because I was up late playing Drag Queen Bingo. Yes you read that right. Confession. I love Bingo. I try and come to the bingo hall as often as I can, but if not, playing bingo online is also great. Give me a thick ink stamp marker and bingo cards and I am a happy individual. I can totally see myself as the crazy old lady surrounded by 10 troll dolls and other various good luck charms playing Bingo across 8 cards. Gambling with your friends by playing Bingo together can be such a fun way of passing the time. Since starting bingo, I have even been tempted to start playing some online casino games like starburst slot. After all, I need to practice my skills so that I am ready to win if we ever end up on a trip to Las Vegas…

Anyways….that was a tangent. I wanted to keep with my Tuesday regular and continue on with the products I’ve been digging lately.

I cannot begin to tell you how many times I’ve knocked over my bottle of nail polisher remover and it spills all over my bathroom floor. This has solved my clumsy problem (well at least in one aspect of my life). Flip the top open, push down with a few cotton balls and then slip off your polish. Close the lid and onto the next. This has been such a great find!

Zoya Remove Plus Nail Polish Remover
Since my post on Friday I have been on a mission to find this J. Crew vest since it is on back order till the end of October. I’m still on the hunt but I will let you know when I find it…..because I will. I really loved the camo print one but the price is still up there even on sale. Then I stumbled upon the exact dupe. It is in girls sizing so I ordered the XL. Also love the Women’s vest in black and cream. It is a fraction of the J. Crew one and right now take an additional 30% off with ONSAVENOW coupon code.
Old Navy Camo Vest
Fringe is here to stay for this upcoming season. Everything I keep on coming across was out of control expensive or the more affordable looked cheap. At last I found this one. Think long oversized sweater, skinnies and booties (steal of a price camel colored ones). Total Fall staples.
Steven Madden “Bmocha” Fringe Crossbody
I lived in my Grey Suede Toms booties last season. I am so obsessed with this pair with the zip fringe. I ordered them now because these Desert booties sell out so quick! Do yourself a favor and scoop them up now before you are calling every random Nordstrom and store under the sun looking for a size 9 (not from experience or anything). Also swooning over this Herringbone pair. These booties are the most comfortable pair of shoes in my closet. No joke you can walk miles in them. Save $5 off $25 with the code RMNSUMMER.

Dark Grey Suede Desert Wedge Booties
Are you ready for your next “live in” piece of clothing. I know it’s still in the oppressing 90’s here but it is cooling down for some of y’all. Plus the air conditioning is so dang cold everywhere in FL, I always have a sweater of some sort with me. This one is so comfortable, the perfect layering piece and easy to throw on.
Zella Open Front Cardigan
I am so obsessed with this necklace. This is going to be on major repeat. Sign up for Kendra Scott email list and get 15% off your purchase.
Kendra Scott Shaylee Pendant Necklace
I have been wearing this eyeliner everyday since I got it in the Summer Stash. It is appropriate for daytime/work use the color. It glides on so easily and the color stays put all day. The 12L is the perfect mix of dark turquoise and has no glitter or shimmer to it. Check all the coupon codes here. My favorite one is the free Buxom mini lip polish with the code DOLLYLIP.
Aqua Eyes- Make up Forever Eyeliner in 12L
I’ll leave you with my view from Saturday night. Summer nights with warm beach breezes and views like this.
Hope y’all are having a fabulous week so far! What things have you been loving lately?? xoxoxo

    I was so bummed last year when those TOM booties went out of stock before I left for Iceland. I will be getting a pair when I am stateside again, they look so adorable I am still dreaming of them a year later!

    Haha drag queen bingo sounds amazing! I’ve attended a drag queen brunch before which was also super fun!

    Love that Kendra Scott necklace! I am also really into the Wrenn Jewelry necklaces lately, they are kind of similar, you should check them out! Loving those vests. They had a ton of the camo ones at our local factory store, hopefully they will get them in FL soon!

    A)I totally love BINGO. One of my roommates went to bar bingo all the time in college
    B)I need that nail polish remover
    C)I also need that cardigan because despite it being 90+ outside all day err day still my classroom is the temperature of a freakin meat locker!

  14. Kristen says

    August 26, 2014 at 12:42 PM

    i have never played bingo! that nail polish remover is brilliant, i am only ever allowed to do my nails in the bathroom or kitchen because i have spilled it all over our pretty floors or not pretty carpet. anywho! that cardi looks so comfy, and those booties – swoon! I am not a ‘fringe’ girl so thats the right amount of fringe for me!

  15. The Girl who Loved to Write says

    August 26, 2014 at 12:59 PM

    Those boots are gorgeous!

  16. Mree says

    August 26, 2014 at 1:01 PM

    I have never played Bingo!! But I hear you can get quite obsessed with it. Love all your fall picks especially those booties. Are they comfortable? I bought a pair of Toms Wedges and they ripped my feet apart. Actually, I think I have a scar on the top of my toe from them. The picture of the sunset is fantastic! Post card worthy.

  17. Ally Harding says

    August 26, 2014 at 1:03 PM

    I’m still dreaming of a Kendra Scott necklace! Hope that vest fits it’s too cute!!

  18. Karly @ Miss in the Midwest says

    August 26, 2014 at 1:13 PM

    As always, fabulous picks! That cardigan looks extra cozy and may have to get in my closet soon.

  19. Caroline Fleenor says

    August 26, 2014 at 1:16 PM

    Love the booties, the vest, and that necklace. I’ve also worn cardigans like that for years. I find a lot of sweaters to be itchy, so I like it when they’re soft. I hope that you had a great weekend too! :-)

  20. Tracie Everyday says

    August 26, 2014 at 1:27 PM

    I am on a bootie mission! I have to find the perfect pair, since one of my feet is a size bigger than the other… meaning everyone else in life has to hate them b/c they fit weird :)

  21. Tricia Coniglio says

    August 26, 2014 at 1:28 PM

    I LOVE that vest, the sunset and the eyeliner. Also digging the necklace but I have noticed that I wear accessories less and less. Which means when I buy stuff it kinda sits around waiting for me to wear it. I have resorted to buying less than I used to….booooo. Maybe I’ll get accessorized again, not sure!

  22. Kerri Taylor says

    August 26, 2014 at 1:30 PM

    i feel like we are old lady soulmates. you just have a cute lil fiance that makes it more acceptable for you to be an old lady haha. ANYWAY. that vest. shut up i want it. vests are everything in florida. and those boots. you have me convinced i’m not gonna lie. because i’ve been off the toms train since every obnoxious teenager had them. but those. those are cute. and i’m rambling now. i’ll just say i like everything :) xo

    I love your mad skills at finding cheaper duplicates! And I don’t think I’ve ever played bingo in my adult life… but if there are cocktails involved count me in

  24. Tracey says

    August 26, 2014 at 2:02 PM

    I cannot believe those wedge booties are TOMS!! They are so cute. I need them. NOW.

  25. Paige @ An Uncomplicated Life Blog says

    August 26, 2014 at 2:07 PM

    My style is more Deep South Prep than Boho, but I love that fringe crossbody! And I’d love to know how the sizing of ordering girls clothes goes. I’m normally a xs-s so I *can* do it, but I struggle with the items being wide and short… But, er, I am 5’10, so that struggle is REAL for me, all day err’day.

  26. Katie Elizabeth says

    August 26, 2014 at 2:26 PM

    That fringe crossbody will be mine! Obsessed with it!!

  27. MakeMeUpMia says

    August 26, 2014 at 2:28 PM

    I love that camo vest! I lived in my Toms wedge booties last season too and can’t wait to bust them out! I love these gray ones :)

  28. Kateri Von Steal says

    August 26, 2014 at 2:30 PM

    Ooooh – BINGO!
    I used to have to volunteer at Bingo, while Emry was in Pre-K (Catholic School Requirement). It was the most amusing experience.

    Maybe one day I’ll actually play!

    I love the teal eyeliner and the sweater.
    Regardless of the heat outside – my office is always set to frigid – so sweaters are a must.

  29. amanda @ as the wine cork turns says

    August 26, 2014 at 2:35 PM

    loving fringe this season! i just bought some booties with them and can’t wait to wear it! and i totally died laughing at your troll bingo moment. hahaha. you crack me up lady!

    xo, Amanda @ as the wine cork turns

    August 26, 2014 at 2:39 PM

    I definitely need to get myself a bottle of remover like that one. I’m clumsy too and that stuff smells awful, not good haha. Jealous of your view!! And, you have me really wanting a vest…. I don’t think I’ve had one since high school!

  31. Carly Blogs Here says

    August 26, 2014 at 2:51 PM

    I think that polish remover is the best of any I’ve tried on top of the container being so convenient! Sadly I can never find it at any of the Ulta’s near us and I usually try and avoid the Zoya website, haha. That last picture is sooo pretty!

  32. Kate at Green Fashionista says

    August 26, 2014 at 3:10 PM

    That bingo game looks like so much fun! And I definitely need a nail polish remover bottle like that… I’ve had lots of spills and close calls over the years :-P

  33. Elise @ High Heels and Glittering Eyes says

    August 26, 2014 at 3:31 PM

    Oh lordy! Haven’t played BINGO in forever but Drag Queen Bingo sounds amazing! I love that Old Navy vest (actually I like it better than the JCrew one) and I love that you ordered it in a kid’s size. I had been on the hunt for a fur vest forever but refused to spend $100+ on one. I found one for $14 in the girls section at Target last year and that thing still looks great!

  34. Elena Ridley says

    August 26, 2014 at 3:32 PM

    That fringe bag is screaming my name!

  35. Nina @ Flowers in my Hair says

    August 26, 2014 at 3:57 PM

    I will have to try that nail polish remover.

  36. Lindsay @ Broke and Bougie says

    August 26, 2014 at 4:38 PM

    ahhhh the camo vest! and the purse! give meeee!!

  37. SMD @ lifeaccordingtosteph says

    August 26, 2014 at 4:40 PM

    I’ve been loving and wearing the Old Navy ankle pants, Tocca Stella perfume, and Zella leggings.

  38. Lindsay Living Vegan says

    August 26, 2014 at 4:50 PM

    LOL bingo is the best!! Especially when drinking is involved! I love those ankle booties and I cant believe they are toms! I’m a sucker for cardigans so you know I will be getting this zella one :)

  39. Nadine Lynn says

    August 26, 2014 at 4:52 PM

    I haven’t played bingo in forever, how fun!!!

    I am loving those boots! I need to check out a pair since you said they are comfy! Also, that sweater is so perfect! I need to find some leggings for the fall that don’t look like they shouldn’t be worn out of the house. Why does everyone insist on being nasty? Haha. I am loving the Burts Bees lemon cuticle cream. I had it tucked away for awhile and started biting at my fingers again. Silly me. Now that I am using it, I have stopped and my hands look better already!

  40. Jana @ Jana Says says

    August 26, 2014 at 4:54 PM

    Drag Queen bingo is a thing?! This just made my day!!!

    I love that sweater, as I do with all cardigans. Really, all things that cover me up. I love summer weather but not summer clothing. I have been loving my NYX makeup and my nail tutorials from Pinterest. I need to jazz up my look somehow!

  41. Julia says

    August 26, 2014 at 6:06 PM

    Ohh those booties and that sweater! LOVE! I’m in FL too and so ready to be done with heat. Come on fall, we’re ready for you! :)

  42. Kasey Lynne says

    August 26, 2014 at 6:12 PM

    I’ve had my eye on those Herringbone booties since last year…I need them in my closet!

  43. Amy Florez {Baby Mama Juice} says

    August 26, 2014 at 7:23 PM

    I need that eyeliner! I’ve never had success with TOMS. Those are so cute though!

  44. birdie to be says

    August 26, 2014 at 8:03 PM

    Omg… I am sooo into bingo too. We’ve played on cruises lots and it’s the one thing on the itinerary I keep track of. Ha

  45. Stacy G says

    August 26, 2014 at 8:44 PM

    I am in love with those booties and I can’t live without my makeup forever aqua eyes eyeliner in bronze green. It is amazing for hazel eyes. XO

  46. alyssa says

    August 26, 2014 at 9:00 PM

    Ha I always have a cardigan with me everywhere I go too, the AC is just too much most places. Cute sweater! And I’m loving those booties, I definitely have to pick up a new pair for this season. And absolutely gorgeous sunset shot! So pretty

  47. Meghan Gilling says

    August 26, 2014 at 10:08 PM

    I absolutely love MUFE products but I’m not nuts about Aqua Eyes. I think it tugs a lot at my eyelid unlike Urban Decay 24/7 pencils which glide like butter. I wonder if it’s the color I grabbed. I’ll have to give it a try again. Also I love that you went to drag queen bingo that sounds like a blog post on its own!

    xoxo

    August 27, 2014 at 3:27 AM

    I looooooove me some bingo! I wish I could get on board with the fringe trend, but i just don’t dig it. Do love that camp vest, may have to take a peek on Old Navy.

    Love the cross body and if I wasnt on a spending freeze that cardigan would be mine. NOW!
