Friends, it’s almost MAY!!!!!
I just love May.
I love, love, love May.
It’s been a bit dreary and rainy here this week, but I know that sunshine is coming! I’m so very excited about May 🙂 .
As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika . Happy (almost!) May! xx
I went to Target on Tuesday to get something from the pharmacy and left with…
…this bag. I couldn’t help myself. IT’S SO CUTE!!! There were three on the shelf and one of the sweet associates told me that the minute she sets them out, they’re all gone. The best part? It’s only $35 but feels and looks way more expensive than that!
Someone take me to the pool. Or beach. Or just my backyard. Stat.
Right?! Isn’t this tote so cute? It would make a great gift too! I LOVE IT!!
Of course, this had to be a fave this week…
…if you missed my April Book Review, it was yesterday! I shared details on a memoir, a thriller, and two chick lit novels…you’re going to want to read it (plus the comment section!) HERE.
Well, I’ve been using this coffee creamer right here…
…Andrew brought it home from the grocery store a few weeks ago and was basically like “this looked like you, so I bought it”. I had never used a Chobani creamer before, but I was intrigued. Friends, it’s so delicious! I’ve since also tried the caramel one, and it’s great too! Then on Wednesday, I went to Trader Joe’s…
…and saw this one here and had to grab it too! This one is equally as delish! I would say that the Chobani one is a bit sweeter, but they’re both really yummy in my daily cup(s) coffee.
One other beverage-ish find this week…
…have we discussed my love of all things guava on here before? I love guava ANYTHING, so you can imagine my delight when I saw these guava La Croixs this week too. I bought two boxes. I love guava. If you know of a good store-bought guava juice (not a mix…straight guava), please share! I’m always on the hunt!!
Easy every day outfits? Okay! I have a few cute ones for you…
You really can’t beat a white tank and jelly sandals. Plus my gold necklace makes me giddy too!!
Jelly sandals with pearls? Yes, please!
This super cute blouse is currently 40% off right now and comes in other colors too. It’s made with a built in tank so you don’t have to layer or worry about it being sheer. Such a cute popover! My jeans are HERE and run TTS.
And one more…
…we were having a very dreary Wednesday, so I wore my sunshine shirt for the occasion 🙂 . Plus, you know how I can’t quit it with those distressed black shorts and then look at these sandals too! Aren’t they fun?! They also come in black! I just think they’re super adorable! I think everything runs TTS!
Yay! Erika and I are bringing back our annual #photoadaywitherikaandshay for the month of May! We would love for you to post and hashtag along with us next month. It’s always so much fun to see how creative people get with this!!
And finally…
…this year, I’m sharing 31 MAY MEALS for your month! No need to worry about dinner this May, I have all of your easy recipes right HERE! Head on over and start your meal planning now!
Friends, I’m off to enjoy the last day of April! I can’t wait to check back in with you on Monday! Have a blessed weekend! xx

Alison says
That Target tote is adorable! I need it in my life! So happy for May to be here!! Have a wonderful weekend!
Sheaffer Sims says
That Target bag is DARLING! I have your white eyelet shirt (but in pink) but haven’t tried it on yet, I’ll be happy if it’s just 1/2 as cute on me! AND THOSE SANDALS!
Julianne says
I’ve been using the International Delight Almond Joy creamer….it is amazing. I’ll have to try this Chobani kind!
Kristen says
Try Oat Milk creamers as well.. they are amazing!!!
Monica says
That straw tote is exactly what I need for our trip to Greece this summer that Clare planned for us!! Thank you!! ?
Mix and Match Mama says
You will LOVE IT!!! You will also love Greece 🙂 !
Beverly says
I love your fashion sense but. can’t afford it on a teacher’s salary. I wish you would do a post on shopping with a budget in mind ( $19.99 per item). Love the blouse but even with 40% off it’s way over my budget. Can you find comparable, good quality clothes on a teacher’s budget? That would be great.
Mix and Match Mama says
I just posted a Target sweatshirt on FB and IG! I really try to only post what I wear as to stay super authentic to who I am. I think you and I have chatted via comments about this before. I know a lot of bloggers who shop at stores and post things that aren’t really what they’re wearing, but I really try and stay true to what I wear. I’m sorry if it’s not a good fit for you!!
Tori says
Maybe a blog post idea? Your assistant can find similar looking items but that cost less and you can link them too? Looks for less or something. Just an idea to help Beverly and those also on a stricter clothing budget.
Mix and Match Mama says
I love any and all ideas and suggestions!
Lindsay Miller says
It’s like you KNEW what exactly my fam needed… a whole month of meals! #baseballseason #strugglebus
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay!!!!! I totally feel you on this, Lindsay!!
Colleen T says
Do you have a link for the 1st pair of jeans you are wearing? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
I don’t! They’re no longer available.
Julie says
what brand are your black jeans in this post? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
They’re Frame! I love them so much but they’ve been sold out for the longest time!
Elyse Hitscherich says
I love that creamer also, but found another one I like even more! It’s Planet Oak in flavor Coffee Cake. Shay – try it!
Mix and Match Mama says
I’ve never heard of that brand!! Thank you!!
Heather P. says
I love Hawaiian POG juice (pineapple, orange, and guava) and typically pick up Goya’s guava juice in the international aisle at the grocery store. But I’ve also seen Costco carry bundles of 64 ounce containers. Have a great weekend!
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you!!!!!!!
Danielle says
Hey I love love love Kensington’s colorblock sweatshirt from your stories yesterday! My daughter loves everything colorblock! Can you give me the details on it! ❤️❤️❤️
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s mine! Ha! It was from Abercrombie last year. It’s fun that she can wear some of my things now.
Barbara says

Arika says
Can we get a video tutorial sometime on how you make that super cute ponytail?
Mix and Match Mama says
Totally…but it’s super easy!
Jenny says
So many cute things in your post today! I love the white eyelet shirt, both pairs of sandals and the straw tote!! I haven’t been to the mall in forever but I’m planning on going this weekend and I’m going to J Crew & Nordstrom, so hopefully they have those items in stock. Have a great weekend!!
Ashley Lewis says
Not really post related BUT.. i notice you always have your nails done! Do you wear acrylics? Or just a regular mani with gel or shellac? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says

I love on Instagram you said you “accidentally bought” that super cute beach tote. Totally stealing that phrase….and heading to Target for the same accident!! ???❤️ Thanks 4 adding sunshine to this rainy Texas day!
Mix and Match Mama says
I was going for allergy meds…I left with a tote. It happens every time, right?! Bahahaha!
Sarah Shaneyfelt says
Love that white Jcrew top on you! Makes me want to order it for myself! And my friend Emily turned me on to the Chobani creamer over a year ago and I am OBSESSED!!!! The vanilla and sweet cream are my favorites!
Carly says
Ceres Guava Juice is really good and available at most store. It’s in a shelf stable box. I have used it to make an excellent guava sorbet in my ice cream maker before.
Mix and Match Mama says
YAY!!!! Thank you!!!
Joanne says
I am loving those sandals! I just can not resist a cute pair of summer shoes.

Me either! They elevate even the most basic summer outfit!
Bethany says
The Chobani Sweet Cream is my favorite creamer flavor!?Just enough sweetness!

Shay Is that a gold pineapple necklace you have on with your white shirt?

Isn’t it cute? I bought it several years ago from Alex and Ani.

Chobani pumpkin creamer is to die for. ?

That bag is so cute and def looks like more than $35! Also, “Someone take me to the pool. Or beach. Or just my backyard.” cracked me up. 😀
Mix and Match Mama says
Right? It’s so cute! Just take it anywhere 😉 .
Lindsay D. says
At Walmart I buy frozen Goya guava pulp to make smoothies and they also sell LaLa yogurt smoothies in guava.
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you, thank you!!!! I didn’t know about either!
Ashley Hatfield says
Have you ever tried the other creamer offered at Trader Joes? It is coconut and almond milk vanilla creamer. Basically the best the thing.
Mix and Match Mama says
YES!!! I just tried it! So good!!!
