Currently on My Radar

Piperlime, Madewell, Topshop, J.Crew, Nordstrom, ASOS

It’s been a while since I’ve shared what’s on my shopping radar. Apologies to those who are on any sort of no-shopping challenge. Just think of it this way, by the time you can start shopping again, these will all be on sale.

Madewell Picks & GIVEAWAY

Madewell Giveaway

Happy 2015!!!

Hope all of you had a great time ringing in the New Year whether you had a fancy party to go to or opted for a more relaxed time with your family at home. We kept our celebration pretty low-key this year. We karaoked the night away to Taylor Swift and Frozen tunes. We must have sang at least ten different Taylor Swift songs and, at the request of my 5-year-old, we belted out “Let It Go” for what felt like too many rounds.

And what better way to start off 2015 on My Rose Colored Shades than with an awesome giveaway! I am joining a group of fabulous bloggers to bring you a chance to win a $150 gift card to Madewell, one of my favorite stores! Continue reading

It is hard to believe that it’s time to say goodbye to 2014! I really felt that this year just flew by. For me personally, there were no major life changing events but I’m always grateful for all the blessings, big or small, that each year brings. Along with the blessings are also challenges that have helped me to learn and grow and become a better version of myself. And again, for that I am thankful. Continue reading
