A bit of POP

Did you know I used to be a cheerleader?

Yep. Four years in high school and one year in college. Some of my favorite high school memories were made in cheer.

My very first year as a cheerleader I met one of the sweetest, most genuine girls ever…..Erin from a bit of pop.

(Nice bangs ladies….good thing we now know better!)What I remember most about Erin was not only did she have an infectious smile, she also was one of the kindest, funniest,  most encouraging girls I have ever met. And the same can be said about her now. Erin recently started blogging about fashion, style, dressing her cutie-pie husband, and that ever important piece of “pop” that sets you apart from everyone else. 
Check her out now…..this girl is beautiful on the inside and out.
hello girl in the red shoes readers! i’m erin from a bit of pop,
where i blog about the latest style trends when it comes to all things
fashion and home decor. 
while providing a glimpse into my little
world, my focus is finding affordable pieces that will add something
extra fantastical to any look, a ‘bit of pop’, if you will. 🙂 
once a
week, i feature men’s fashion as well and on fridays a ‘pop of the
week’ which is usually an item i’ve found that i just can’t live
without. you can read more about me here.

i am so thankful for this opportunity to share a little of me on
sweet julie’s blog. i adore her style, her crafty nature, and her
gorgeous family. here are a few pictures of some of my recent posts.
enjoy, cheers, and i hope you’ll follow along!
Um…isn’t Erin GORGEOUS? And her husband???? Those two have some cute babies in their future!
Thanks Erin! Be sure to check her out at a bit of pop! I think her “pop of the week” just may be one of the best things about my Fridays.

    Erin is adorable and the blog is so cute. Adding it to my reader now!

    And I can relate to the throwback cheerleading days– I was on my high school dance team i Texas. Friday nights weren't complete without sequined cowboy hats, petticoats, red lips, blue eyeshadow and BIG Texas hair. We were fancy! 🙂
