gray is the way/TT+L


Two Truths + a Lie Tuesday, courtesy of Write It In Lipstick.
So here goes:

1. I have had plastic surgery.
2. I met Jude Law in Louisiana
3. I had a year supply of Lunchables in 2nd grade

There ya go- Jump on it.

I saw a look similar to this in a magazine- 
With the temps in the 60s today, I was going to jump on the bare legs bandwagon.

I thought I would venture out near the woods this morning because the ground is finally drying.
Lovely dead greenery behind me, yes?
 Not super creepy laugh today.  I'm improving!



scarf: rainbow
striped shirt/dress: dots
boots: hotcakes
(which means this outfit cost me probably under $20 total, not including shoes)

Now, go buy some discounted Valentine's Day candy! Cheers!

tuesday's gone with the wind

Happy post-Valentine day to everyone!  
I thought it would be me + the dog with some vino. 
 But it turns out my little kiddies at work think I'm pretty sweet:
Not to mention the note left on my car by darling Sister #1.
Thanks, chickens.

Sister #2 and I had a lot of fun with a lovely photo shoot yesterday afternoon.  The weather was so perfect + we had such a good time.

Isn't she a doll? Yep.

This merrymaker is feeling a little random this morning, overload on caffeine perhaps?

And getting antsy to finish exams + get started on some DIY projects this week, like these precious coasters seen here on Linley's blog, Dwelling & Telling.  


Hitting up the craft stores this afternoon!
Also- send me positive thoughts for my bookshelf/dresser repainting!



I hope to post outfit pictures every other day, as I have time.  I appreciate the comments + positive reviews on the recent ones :)  I love reading other style blogs + seeing their outfits.  It is so inspiring for when I open my closet door.  I am working on my discipline!

INSPIRATION for TODAY
 We are halfway through February, chin up, my chickens, spring is almost here.
Happy Tuesday from me + mine ---> you + yours.

feminine florals + valentine cheer

via etsy
Happy Valentine's Day to you and your sweetheart!
It is such a beautiful and sunshine-y day here, so I chose this day to whip out some surprises.
I have never worn this top before.  I bought it on clearance and it's two sizes too big.  This can be cured by belting, everywhere but the neckline- which is gaping + troublesome.
BUT the day felt right for florals, so here we go: 



shirt: target, blazer: thrifted, belt: dots, jeans: ny+c, necklace: c/o sister #2, shoes: jessica simpson


My day will consist of nothing special.  Working + then studying for three daunting exams tomorrow.
Oh, yeah, and some chocolate.




Excuse the creepy smile in the picture- Catching a Bekah laugh in photograph form is win or lose.
Lose.
Happy Valentine's day from me + my valentine (pictured below)!
XOXO

easy like sunday mornin'

Items I am obsessing over this Sunday include, but are not limited to, the following:


1. Wooden Headboard
I'm still looking for inspiration about what to do for a headboard.

I love the idea of a painted one- but I'm really digging this distressed wood mounted headboard.
With or without painted words, it's classy.




2. Wet Bar Area
I love the decor of this area.  The zebras, the sign, the lamps, all of it.

3. STRIPES!
This gal will go gaga for all kinds of stripes, but this dramatic dress is fabuloso.

 4. Hot Pink Bathroom Decor
White, pink, + mirrors make this bathroom girly + would definitely wake ya up in the AM.

5. Etsy pins
Isn't this the truth?!

6. Bright Geometric Lamps

These babies are mind-blowing.

I love all of the items.  Also, loving some more thrift store finds I picked up this weekend.
Can't wait to post more of my mix+ match outfits this week.

Are you following me on Facebook or Twitter yet?
Enjoy your lazy Sunday, I know I will.

saturday style, snow edition

Snow Style.
Well, we had THREE snow days this week.
And that was exhausting.

Here's a comfy outfit for a casual snow day spent inside with three wild dogs + 
absolutely no productivity.


The burgundy sweater is another one of my thrifting treasures I found this weekend.

I hope to hit up some thrift stores this weekend, in between exam cramming + paper writing.


shirt: the avenue
sweater: thrifted
belt: torrid

Oh, and this little gentleman wants to say hello!
