FEBRUARY 5 2018

Here I am... 9 PM cuddled on my couch reading my final few chapters of "All The Missing Girls" & boom, I realize I never posted today's Monday Muses. Talk about a FAIL.

I think I need to start stapling my to-do list to my forehead because sometimes I just can't get my shit together. ANYONE ELSE?

I should be on top of today's muses because it's the first of my favorite month! Helllloooo Birthday month, I see you! T minus 2 weeks from tomorrow and I'll be 27. That sounds gross.

Austin told me yesterday while laying in bed... "You know what 27 means? Only 3 years til you're 30." Thanks for the reminder, babe 😒

So with that on my mind, again. I am going to click "CHECKOUT" on all my online shopping carts... because "3 years til 30"

Confession: I'm into this headband trend... & these PJ's are just too good

JANUARY 29 2018

Woke up on the right side of the bed this morning (V SURPRISING) + decided to take on Monday!

I was in and out of the gym before 8:30 and I always know that's a sign to a bright week! Hey theres babes, Mondays don't have to be bad, it all depends on your mind set. This year I set out to have a better mindset on life, you can be happy if you choose happy.

My kind of Monday happy is online shopping n browsing every websites "New Arrivals" ... anyone else!? 

No? Well it's fine because here are my top 10 per usual, weekly. Make your Monday a happy one, too!

xx, Kels

BONUS, because... just too good 🙌🏼

JANUARY 22 2018

Just sitting here happy as a clam because I just realized all my shows started last Thursday (TGIT fans!?🙋🏼‍♀️) & I'm about to binge watch them all with a nice glass of red wine in my hand while dinner cooks in the oven. I swear I am an 87 year old in an (almost) 27 year olds body.

All I know though, is come mid January & all the resort wear comes out, I am immediately over winter & ready for warm weather, beaches & endless spicy margaritas.

That's the second time I've talked about alcohol in about 4 sentences... clearly we all know whats on my mind Monday nights. 

SO. If you're all like me, let's have some wine together & shop these warmer weather inspired Monday Muses.

JANUARY 15 2018

OHHHHH HOW I LOVE ME SOME MONDAY HOLIDAYS!

I took full advantage of the long weekend and spent some much needed quality time with Austin, mainly eating our entire way through (typical 😑) But now I am freshly showered, bundled on the couch watching a Hallmark movie (sorry babe) and scouring the internet for Monday Muses goodies.

Can we talk about how excited I am for Spring? I feel like I am going to be ALL ABOUT this upcoming season. The 70's are making their way back and I am v e r y into it.

Here we go, happy shopping!

xx, Kels

JANUARY 8 2018

Went to bed last night READY FOR MONDAY! The flu got the best of me last week and I followed that up with the LAZIEST weekend. Sometimes I just need to listen to my body because I feel energized today! I even woke up and killed my workout, (letttts be honest, I have NOT done that in a while!), ran errands AND grocery shopped all before 10 am. I don't know who this person in my body is but in into it.

I know I know y'all don't care... you're here for Mondays newness with the Muses.

Here you go- THIS WEEKS DENIM! THIS SEASON'S DENIM! YASSSSSSS.

xx, Kels

JANUARY 2 2018

HAPPY NEW YEAR BABES!

I can't believe how damn fast this year flew by (cliche but true, OK!?)

I sat on my couch ALL DAY LONG yesterday, binge watched Riverdale with Austin (SO into it we finished season 1 in two days!) and I didn't even change my clothes or shower until 5 PM just so I could look somewhat socially acceptable to go pick up my Thai food & thank god I did because that place was PACKED.

ANYWHO. 2018 is going to be a good one, I can feel it deep in my bones!

Heres my Monday Muses, once again I'm ordering the majority (lets be honest, ALL) of these!

xx, Kels

DECEMBER 29 2017

I'm feeling rebelious today and doing a Monday Muses for y'all on a Friday, seems this past Monday was Christmas and I was checked out from my social media! I was just browsing my favorite sites and there was so much good NEW that here I am, now on a Friday sharing them with y'all! 

Also, how is this New Years weekend? That saying of the older you get 🙈 the faster the years so by is so true! Granted this was one of the busiest years we've had thus far, it was one of the greater years! I have so much drive for what I want to happen this year and I am so proud of myself for pursuing something I've wanted to pursue for so long!

So thank you all for your continued support, now get to shopping and give yourself a little something for getting through another year in one piece!

DECEMBER 18 2017

How is it already the week of CHRISTMAS!? AYE AYE AYE! Monday Muses are perfect for last minute gift ideas! But better yet, gifts for yourself! Hurry hurry, these are reallll good!

DECEMBER 4 2017

Monday Muses are back! The last two weeks came to y'all in my Gift Guide form! For Him, Under $100 & My Holiday Wishlist! But this week- since those are all complete we're back to my top 10 picks of new arrivals I'm loving & needing this week!

With the holidays coming up we're all still guilty of buying ourselves things we want! From Holiday Parties we're attending to just needing something new to wear for the actual holidays themselves, I am hands down guilty of it! Austin looked over at me yesterday as I sat on the couch with my wallet & computer asking what in the world I was doing with Christmas coming so soon (& me still not telling him what I want!) ordering stuff for myself!? "Well you see here..." I told him "I want to wear this here sweater next weekend or next week! Not in a month from now after Christmas.. therefore, I purchasing it now! Ha, sorry babe!" I am as impatient as it gets and hate even waiting for the "standard free delivery" 5-8 business days? Way too long! Express that shit! Hence one of the reasons I love Amazon & Shopbop since my Amazon Prime works for both! I am ALLLL about next or two day shipping! I want my stuff & I want it now. (I sound way snobby right now... but I'm not, promise!)

Anywaysssss, here's this weeks roundup!

NOVEMBER 13 2017

Played hooky from all my responsibilities today and drove down to Orange County to visit my best friend and my sister who both live down here. I also convinced myself along the way that I need to just move down here so I packed an extra bag and am just going to do it. What do y'all think? Can I convince Austin too? Most likely not but i'll keep dreaming!

All the above (plus a margarita at dinner) is the reason to blame for such a late night Monday Muses, it should essentially be called Tuesday Muses but that doesnt have quite as good of a ring to it, ya know?

---

Mondays DON'T have to be terrible, but IF yours is- a little online shopping always helps lift my spirits. Every Monday I'll start rounding up my current new favorites for y'all! Approaching fall gives us way too many options since the seasons (In fashion only obviously, because outside is still hot as hell) are flipping and every brand is releasing their new fall styles!

Spring & summer will always have my heart as far as seasons go, but I always find myself getting way more excited over fall clothes- and splurging on them, too (oops!) However, I'll try to keep my Monday Muse's to my top 10 faves at an affordable price mark. Unless we're talking shoes & handbags, y'all already know those are the two - ALWAYS - splurge worthy categories!

Monday Monday Monday!

Last night around 6:30 I found myself complaining about this time change since it felt like it was midnight and time for me to go to sleep already. I even cancelled our movie plans to see Bad Moms 2 (I'm such a grandma.) But then, this morning, I woke up feeling GOOD! I got to the gym an hour earlier than I normally get there and have more energy than one would expect... for a Monday! Therefore I take back every negative comment I made last night! BUT, that will probably only last until 4 PM today when its nearly dark out already. Ha! Bitter, party of one!

ANYWHOOOOO. This fall might be my most favorite fall yet. I'm obsessed with the style and how just about everything is oversized.. if you didn't know I am definitely "the bigger, the better" type of gal. Oversized everything, please! Thank god I don't dress to impress guys though, am I right!? We all know they're the exact opposite!

With that being said... here's my top 10 Monday Muses for this week!

Happy St. Hallows Eve, babes!

I just cooked up a delicious batch of tri-tip chili per my Halloween tradition and am curled up on the couch catching up on drama TV. My type of Monday! Seriously though, today made me so excited for fall! For as far as the forecast can see, we are FINALLY getting fall here in California. ABOUT.DAMN.TIME!

Per usual though, since its Monday I just rounded up some good good GOOD newness for y'all & in case you were wondering... Yes! I order about a million things every Monday while trying to round up all this weeks favorites to only a top 10. The struggle is real and I have zero will power when it comes to clothes and shoes (sorry babe!)

Feel free to always message me with any questions y'all have! Goodnight!

HOWDY, HAPPY MONDAY BABES!

It's only 3 o'clock and I'm already ready for my third coffee of the day, WOO. Anyone else!? It's also 102 degrees outside which is absolutely absurd so obviously I am sitting in my house with the AC at 70 and the blinds closed just to give myself some fall vibes. (A girl can try!) This weather is absolutely killing me though.

Ironically super excited that today's Monday though because that just means the Dodgers start the WORLD FREAKING SERIES tomorrow! If y'all thought I loved October so much because of the Pumpkin Spice Lattes (no thanks, not for me) or for Halloween (least favorite holiday) then y'all were mistaken. It's the best month in baseball, duh. 

ANYWAYYYSSS seems it's Monday, I rounded up these weeks top muses.

Happy shopping!

OCTOBER 16 2017

Why is it that every Monday I wake up thinking about how long the day is about to be, YET here I am at the end of the night laying in bed STILL working! With so much to do, the day goes by way too fast. I never thought I would say such a thing about Monday's but I think I might actually be becoming found of them. You heard it here first, y'all & I think I might be delirious. So for all my fellow night owls, heres the Monday Muses round off. Or for the rest of you, Monday Muses roundup on Tuesday morning(!?)

I did some serious online shopping so OF COURSE everything I bought will be included tonight. However,  I discovered today (I am most likely very late to the party) but if you have amazon prime - aka the greatest thing ever - your orders on shopbop ship with prime! Meaning free two day shipping or for the impatient people like myself, only $3.99 for next day shipping. BOOM, I was mindblown.

Anyways...

It's off to bed for me! Happy Monday, babes.

xx

P.S I clearly need to plan a winter vacation with everything on this weeks list.. SoCal ain't cutting it right now. 95º in the middle of October in unacceptable.

I can't believe it's October 9th already!

Today marks the beginning of Austins 6 month adventure in the Ventura County Sheriffs training academy. I am so exciting for him and the path he is taking in his career but it also means the next 6 months are going to be craziness for him (us!)! Therefore I will be spilling my heart and soul into this blog to keep myself busy as well. I am so excited to bring y'all so much content in the upcoming year and beyond.

I've never found something I'm so passionate about before and I love hearing such good feed back from y'all each and every week!

So here's to the first Monday on a long 26 week journey we all get to go on together!

Happy Monday, babes.

Y'ALL, this week is packed with TOO MUCH goodness. Therefore, I can't get myself to gather only 10 items & categorize it like the organized person in me always does for y'all. Therefore, the result will be the hodgepodge below that I literally added one of each into my shopping cart and am just waiting to click "checkout." No joke- FALL IS STEALING MY HEART. I never thought I could cheat on summer like this, but its happening in full speed. Bring on the carmel colors and chunky sweaters! If only this SO CAL weather will continue to cooperate!
