Dainty Quirky Fun

I am one to have a little fun with my wardrobe whether it be with color, layering or quirky accessories. And sometimes I know I can get some WTF looks from the more conservative peeps. So, to remedy that situation I have located some more subdued versions of the quirky pieces just for yall who are a little afraid to walk on the wild side.

  1. Forever21, Cupcake Necklace
  2. Forever21, Lucky Elephant Necklace
  3. Forever21, Whimsical Geisha Necklace

The Bangles

I am LOVING these bangles from Maribelle Campa’s Etsy shop. My only problem is that I can’t possibly decide which color to get!

Christmas in Review: Court

Man o Man does Ben Santa really have my number.  Here’s a few of my favorite items that I raked in this holiday!

  1. Better Home and Garden Patio Furniture Set – Mimi and PawPaw gave this to both Ben and I.  I can’t wait to have some friends and family over to enjoy this set.  It’s fits perfect with my decor.
  2. Fortune Cookie Soap – these things are too cute.  They actually all have a paper fortune in there, but are the perfect accent for my guest bathroom.
  3. Cat Necklace – since I’ve been banned by Ben and the city I believe from obtaining another kittah, Ben got me this.  I absolutely adore it!
  4. I CAN HAZ Calendar – this is actually the first year they printed these.  Looks great on my office wall.

I’ll tell you where I didn’t hit it big and that was the lotto tix in Aus, Ben and my stockings.  Of all the tickets we scratched we won $2 collectively! Everything else made up for it though.

Vintage Jewelry

My grandmother recently sold her house and when my Mom was up there helping her move, she came back with a bag FULL of jewelry that nobody else wanted! My sister and I dug through all the pieces and here are some of the fabulous finds I got to add to my collection.

The lesson here? Dig through anything and everything you can…you never know what cool things you might walk away with!

Christmas in Review: AK

We had a great Christmas! My husband and I think this year has been the best so far in terms of celebrating with our son.  He got excited to hand out gifts and open gifts and play with everything.  It was super fun.  Here are a few things I got for Christmas this year:

  1. Jewelry Cleaner, Brookstone-If you’ve ever thought about getting one of these things, do it! Do it now! All you do is add water and it uses sound waves to clean everything.  I immediately did my wedding ring and watch and embarrassed at the amount of gunk that came off both of them.  And I THOUGHT I kept them clean.  This also does eyeglasses, which I haven’t done yet but am psyched to do.
  2. Jackie cardigan, J.Crew-I love these cardigans and buy them at the outlet store or ask for them as gifts.  I’m a cardigan addict.  I received navy and cerise for Christmas.
  3. iPhone Case, Kate Spade-I was in need of a new case and received one like this and it’s right up my alley what with all the colors!!
  4. Apple gift card, Apple-In combination with my husband we received enough apple gift cards to purchase an iPad.  However after a twitter questionnaire we’ve decided to wait on the next version to come out before we buy it.  I think that’s in April.  I think.
  5. iSi Flexible Mixing Bowls, Amazon-A month or so ago, in an effort to do something in the kitchen, I gave my son a couple of mixing bowls and a wooden spoon to occupy him.  That turned into me needing new bowls.  I don’t think these will break.

The best gift of all might be what Santa brought my son.  He loves it more than anything and it gives his parents a chance to sit and chill for a few minutes. Little Star Bouncer, Walmart

Christmas in Review: Sarah

The Holidays this year could not have been better…ok, I could have done without the chilling cold and the torrential downpours, but other than that, it was a great low-key, and relaxing time!

I also must have been VERY good this year because Santa was VERY nice to me. Check out some of the loot:

  1. Michele 18mm Patent Leather Watch Strap
  2. Nikon D3100 Digital Camera
  3. “What to Cook and How to Cook it”
  4. McKenna Travel Folio
