The wrap: Cheap or Chic?

Love these gray wraps!! Can you tell the cheap from the chic?

The first is actually the cheap! It's from Forever 21 and is $27.80

The second picture is from Alice and Olivia, retailed for $330 and is currently sold out at Nordstrom!

Just over a $300 difference!

I found the Alice and Olivia wrap while on Pinterest! I fell in love with this design, but was sad to see the both the price tag and also that it was sold out!

I lucked out finding this on Forever 21 and think it will be perfect for travel paired with a pair of shorts.

The Apricot Dress: Cheap or Chic?

Forever 21, $17.80

The other day I stopped by the mall and picked up this cute Apricot/Orange colored dress from Forever 21. In person this dress is really gorgeous! The material has a shimmer to it and it's almost textured. Overall it's really well made, fits good, and the length is perfect (all major issues with dresses from Forever 21). We are going to Jamaica in a few weeks and I thought this maybe a great dress for our pictures on the beach :)

I was really surprised when I saw the dress below, from Alice and Olivia that was completely sold out at several stores, Neiman, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdales. I feel like I really got a steal at $17.50!

Alice and Olivia, Neiman Marcus, Sold out, was $368

Ravens Playmakers

Team photo from my 4th and final season

It's that time of year again...time for Ravens Playmaker tryouts!

I spent a total of 4 seasons with the team and made some amazing memories.

As alumni, I return to help out during tryouts. Today I was at the Under Armour Performance Center in Owings Mills assisting with day 2 of the tryout process.

Each year I am reminded of the opportunity I had and I feel so lucky to have been part of such a great organization. I wish all the girls the best of luck this upcoming season!

If you haven't already, like the Playmakers on Facebook and follow them this season for some great giveaways!

Saying Sunday

I saw this quote on a church sign driving the other day and I really liked it. How true!
