Wearable Wicker

July 19, 2010 by

Summer is in full swing and boy don’t we all know it. And if you don’t know it, please don’t tell me about it because then I might be forced to hate you. Wicker is one of those medias that make me automatically think of summertime.  Since it’s way too damned hot to lounge outside on some wicker furniture, how about we wear some wicker!

Pretty Things at Every Price: Totes

July 14, 2010 by

This is our final PTAEP for purses. We’ve covered crossbodies, clutches, hobos, and now we’re on to totes!

  1. Der:  Rose Dome Handbag,I am carrying a similar version of this bag RIGHT NOW in royal blue and love it to pieces. It’s such a WOW accessory for low cost. It livens up the simplest tee or tank just hangin there on your arm.
  2. Court: Slouchy Bag, This was the hardest price point for me thus far as the size of this purse is entering a no-can-do boundary.  My tipsy sista’s can easily pull a bag of this size off, but not me.  HOWEVER, I wasn’t shocked when a super cute seller on Etsy came through.  I would wear this, if I ever needed room to shove Aus, two friends, a bottle of booze and a bicycle in it :).  Other pluses are its handmade and CHINA CHINA!!!
  3. AK: Amazon Boutique Tote, I love how sleek this looks and of course I had to go for something BRIGHT in color!
  4. Sarah: Paper Croc-Embossed Tote, What can I say? I’m a sucker for a cute straw bag!

Who Wants Lunch?

Lunch bags that is!

I chronically pack my lunch for work a) because it’s cheaper and b) because I can keep track of my daily calorie intake easier. I wouldn’t mind packing my lunch in any of these cuties!

Flower Girl

June 17, 2010 by

I like playing around with different hair looks: whether it be a cut, color or accessories. I haven’t been doing much in the way of color since being preggos (hello natural color that I haven’t seen in 10 years) and in an attempt to grow my hair slightly… the cutting has not been so exciting either. Enter hair flowers. There are endless cute styles that are so summery and romantic with the right placement of a teensy flower. Check it out for yourself.

What Time Is It?

June 11, 2010 by

We have a big red wall clock in our kitchen that seems to be the only clock I look at during the day when I want to know what time it is.  Not that there isn’t a million other clocks to look at like on the microwave or oven or my cell phone or the TiVo.  But for some reason this clock is big and it catches my eye.  These clocks also caught my eye…do you guys have wall clocks in your home?

Skies Ain’t So Gray

June 8, 2010 by

Are you always wearing boring black? Why not move on down a shade and pull on some gray. Sure, the idea seems gloomy, but no ma’am. I happen to LOVE gray. I love it so much that I painted my walls in my house gray- every room a different shade. It’s such a great canvas to pop color against and it’s a pretty great neutral all by itself.  BTW, do you say gray or grey? That always throws me for a loop.

Etsy Spotlight: Annie’s Mobile Boutique

May 28, 2010 by

I love unique mobiles in nurseries.  There is just something about a colorful, modern twist on a nursery must-have.  When I was browsing my way through Etsy the other day, I happened upon this mobile at Annie’s Mobile Boutique and automatically saved it as one of my favs.  I love the bright fabrics on the little birds.  Simply adorable.
