Weekend of Concerts

Hello All! It was feeling a little like spring here in the Bluegrass State this past weekend and early part of the week. So I surely took advantage. How many of you are ready for spring? I am! The warmer weather came just in time for concert weekend. I went to two concerts in two days and was definitely exhausted, but it was well worth it. Saturday I saw Maroon 5 in concert. It was #Awesome. And Adam Levine didn't look too bad if I say so myself. Lol! If you have the opportunity to see the show it is well worth it. Sunday I saw Prince in concert. Yes Prince! AKA the Symbol! Lol! Can I say he put on an amazing show. Probably one of the best. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity so I had to go. He was in one of our smaller venues and kept selling out shows, so he kept adding them. He performed four shows in two days. Not bad for a 56 year old! The reason he was in Louisville was because the drummer of his backup group 3rdeyegirl was from Louisville. A Price show is a must see show, so if he ever comes to your city you should so attend. Since the weather was so nice on Sunday I had to put on a dress and heels for the concert, right? Below are pics and outfit details from Sunday. Enjoy!

It Feels Like Spring

Wednesday was the first day in a long time that us Kentuckians would consider it warm. It was in the 60s and the snow was finally melting. Yay!  So you know I had to take advantage and get in some pics. Are you ready for spring? I sure am. Check out the almost spring attire below with details. Enjoy!!

Happy Wednesday Peeps! Another winter storm is among us here is Kentucky, anywhere from 7-12 inches of snow. Ugh! Before it hits I decided to do a little impromptu shoot as most of us life + style bloggers do. Hey! Sometime you have to get photos in when you can.  Below are my pics, outfit details, featuring one of my favorite colors (purple), and some beautiful earrings from a great new small jewelry business. 

Enjoy!

Happy Sunday Peeps! Have you ever heard of the jewelry company Made in Mechanicsville? If you haven't you should! They are a small company made up of a husband and wife team named Lauren and James. They started their company in January 2015 based on Lauren's love for creating and her passion for accessories. The duo are from a small town and have been making jewelry for a year. They decided to make their dream a reality in hopes to highlight makers and crafters in rural and small areas, not just big cities. Their product select is diverse and for many different personalities and unique styles. I love their jewelry and all the different accessories there are to choose from. I had the opportunity to style some of their jewelry, check it out below.

Jamberry

Hello all! I hope everyone is staying warm if you are in cold snowy temperatures like I am. How many of you love doing your nails or having them done? If so,  have you tried Jamberry Nail Wraps yet? I tried them for the first time this week and love them. Jamberry is a company that makes quick and simple nail wraps that you can do at home. Seriously it took me 20 mins. If you are a nail girl like I am than you know how awesome that is. How many times have you wanted to do your nails before going out and there was not enough time for them to dry? Or how many times have you done your nails and messed one or two of them up trying to get ready? #Me. Jamberry solves that problem! There is no waiting for your nails to dry or applying coat after coat to get that perfect shine. All you have to do is match the nail wrap to your nails, warm the adhesive with a blow dryer, apply wrap to clean nails, and apply pressure. Then use a cuticle pusher to seal around edges, and cut or file off the excess. See it's that easy and only takes a matter of minutes.

Ready to try Jamberry? How about a free sample? I have partnered with Kami Lingren, Advanced Consultant for Jamberry Nails to offer you a free sample of Jamberry Nail Wraps. You will not be disappointed!

All you have to do is follow @absolutely_alli and @Itskamsjams on Instagram. Then click on the link Here to get your free set of Jamberry Nail Wraps. (Limited to the first 30 people) After you get your nail wrap and try it out come back here and leave a comment on this post and let me know what you thought about them. That's all you have to do!
