Stud Muffin

November 11, 2010 by

Der did a post a while back on stud earrings and I felt like I needed to revisit the theory of less is more in the earring arena.  I’ve been gravitating towards studs lately because they sure are easy to wear.  Do you wear studs often? Do you go through phases?  I think I go through phases with studs FO SHO. And right now these are striking my fancy.

Etsy Spotlight: Janine Basil

November 9, 2010 by

We just got details for my husband’s company holiday party.  The invite said wear your best FESTIVE attire….which to my husband means this (awful, and what’s worse is that if I egged him on he’d probably wear it) but to me means these fun fascinators.  LOVE THEM!  They all came from Janine Basil’s Etsy Shop.  Go check this shop out, there’s tons of cuteness!

Shelved

October 28, 2010 by

The room we’re using for our nursery is the size of a shoebox small, so I’ve been trying to come up with creative ideas for storage, specifically a place to store books. I mean, I feel like I would be starting this whole motherhood thing off on the wrong foot if I had no books for my child…

Trick or Treat!

October 15, 2010 by

I’ve been looking for a costume for my little guy for Halloween.  Honestly we’ve been pondering whether we’d do the whole costume thing this year or just wait til next year.  I mean he’s two, he’s really not gonna eat the candy or get the whole trick or treat thing–he’ll just have fun running around the neighborhood.  But will he have fun if he’s got a costume on or will he just be trying to get it off and run around the neighborhood.  You feelin’ me?  So anyway, here’s some cute finds!

  1. Meerkat, Meijer
  2. Cookie Sandwich, Pottery Barn Kids
  3. Dino, Target
  4. Popcorn, Pottery Barn Kids
  5. Ring Tail Lemur, Target
  6. Caterpillar, Target
  7. Chick, Etsy
  8. Bat, Pottery Barn Kids

When did you start trick or treating? What are your kids going to be this year?
