:: Floral Maxi + Book Club + Met Gala Fashion ::

May 8, 2018

I wore this Floral Maxi while we were in Scottsdale and had to share because it’s so comfy, sexy, and a steal: only $55.  I’ve had this dress in two colors for over a year and never get sick of them!
It looks so much more expensive that it is and you can wear it for so many occasions from brunch to weddings and more!
This straw canteen purse has gotten so much wear since I got it for Christmas, too and it fits a ton!

// FLORAL MAXI // comes in tons of colors and prints
runs slightly small in the hips, I am wearing an XS, could wear a S too
// IDENTICAL STRAW PURSE //  also love THIS STRAW PURSE // 

You’ve seen this dress in the black floral version recently too!

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I had to share the most recent book that I read that I absolutely LOVED!
Nothing EVER lives up to Gone Girl for me, but The Last Mrs. Parrish was the first book I have loved since it! It is definitely the best book I have read in all of 2018, if not 2017, too!!
The flight to Scottsdale is 4 hours each way, and Southwest has free TV (can someone say original Southern Charm Season 1 Marathons? And Law and Order: SVU Marathons?! YAS!) BUTTTTTT for the first time ever I read the entire flight there and home because I just could not put this book down!!!
I highly recommend adding it to your list, and putting it at the very top of your list at that!

// THE LAST MRS. PARRISH // 

ALSO.  My sunglasses are one of my favorite purchases in weeks! They sold out so quickly, but they are finally BACK IN STOCK! and they are only $14! Snag ’em while you can, they go so fast!
BP sunglasses at Nordstrom are my favorite – I get so, so many compliments on them and they are the cost of a cocktail!

Did any of you watch The Met Gala last night?
The theme was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”.
The Meta Gala is always just so strange to me, but I love seeing the red carpet.
And I actually LOVED it this year.
This was one of my favorites in recent years in terms of the theme + the fashion.
Some of the dresses I loved but they didn’t necessarily apply to the theme (I’m looking at you Cindy Crawford, but you looked gorgeous)?! Hence why this gala is always so strange to me, but whatever….. it’s all in the name of FASH-UN right?!

I could go on and on because I really loved SO many.
And I thought the awards shows fashion this year pretty much sucked….. so luckily this made up for it!
Who were your favorites?!
Did you love the theme!?

    Last Mrs. Parish is my current read and I’m glad to hear you loved it so much (I think?) because I’m trying to get through it? I feel like I’m halfway in and the only story line so far is the main character telling lies to move in on someones husband…. Please tell me it picks up, or there is a plot twist or something?! If not, I’m moving on to “Bachelor Nation”, lol

    • TheSarcasticBlonde says: May 9, 2018 at 9:18 am

      There’s more to come – promise!! I feel like every book I have read for so long is just “meh” and I really, really liked it!! Haha – hopefully a better choice than Bachelor Nation!!

    I loved sooo many Met Gala looks this year! I like more looks this year than I did in the last two years combined. I hate to say it but Kim K looked amaze-balls. Blake Lively is always one of the best dressed and I loved Katie P’s angel wings but I would have gone with a gown if I was her instead of a short skirt.

  • DIY this high end look for less! I'm sharing the 5 easy steps to disguise your air return cover and all the supplies to complete this project. My favorite part of this easy DIY how-to, is that tou can customize the look with paint color and different metal sheet patterns to match your home decor and aesthetic. I actually used leftover supplies from my DIY built-in shelf and desk in my home office to create this look. It helps elevate the space, adding a touch of elegance and a refined finish without breaking the bank. It was easy and affordable to create this custom look for less. Click to shop the DIY project supplies on Amazon. Note: I used scrap wood I had on hand for the project, but you can also pick up 1x2 wood planks from Amazon or a local hardware or craft store. #ad #Amazon #DIY
