Orange Things. And a GIVEAWAY.

"Orange" you glad it's Monday? No? Well, "orange" you glad that today's post is about the color orange so I can use this little play on words in an attempt to perk up this post since, let's face it, on Monday morning the creative juices aren't exactly flowing like a fountain around here? I definitely am.

It just so happens that I am an orange lover, so I will preface my remarks today with a word of warning: There is going to be a lot of orange. You will be hit over the head with it repeatedly, perhaps bludgeoned by it. But I assure you, your wardrobe will be better for it. Feeling up for it? Good. Let's get to it.

Some people may not share my affection for the color orange but I can't help myself. I swear every food that is orange is delicious; examples include, but are not limited to: pumpkin pie, sweet potato fries, candy corn, creamsicles, orange soda...{Do I really need to go on, or is anyone else just thinking about making a call to Marie Callendar's asap and placing a couple of pumpkin pie orders stat? Whose with me?? Anyone???}

And aside from my orange food adoration I think orange clothes are just plain yummy too, especially if you live in a place that is not Utah that actually feels like Spring. I'm sure you'll agree when you take a look at the great little orange things I found all under $20.


And here is the little orange ensemble I wore this weekend:  

Jeans: Old Navy $7.99, Top F21 $19.80, Cardigan: Old Navy $5.99,
Flower: DIY, Flats: $10.00 GoJane


And in honor of orange, and needing something to get through a Monday, and loving just plain pretty things, I present to you this fabulous bracelet giveaway from the Etsy shop ChicChoices, who makes the most darling bracelets that S and I drooled over for far too long this weekend.

Who doesn't need a little leather to spruce up your life? I know I do.
"Orange" you glad you came on by today so that you have a chance to win?
{Ok, I promise that is the last time. For reals.}

Here is a little taste of some of the treasures you can find in the shop.
All of which happen to be orange {I am nothing if not on theme}:
