” For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. “
~ Audrey Hepburn
Now that is a lady!
Have a favorite Audrey Movie?
I really love them all! Roman Holiday, My Fair Lady, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, etc.!!
P.S. Selling some final accessory inventory on the facebook page if you want to check it out! I will still be taking custom wedding orders, and taking some time to think about a shop re-structuring:)
P.S.S. I can’t thank you all enough for voting for me in Bloggers Wardrobe Competition! I made it to the top 20, and they narrowed it down to 10 which apparantly I was close to making:( I think I have had enough of voting competitions for a while though!
We decided Saturday, that a trip to the apple orchard will become a September tradition in our little family. We found a beautiful apple orchard in the north georgia mountains….
Little Gabriel helped us fill our bag full of apples:)
We were riding a wagon ride in the photo above and he grabbed my arm and wrapped it around him. It made me want to save the moment forever. No matter how challenging motherhood may be some days, it always pays off with simple moments like these. My heart overflows for them…..and their daddy:)
Also, I have been asked a few times by some of you readers what are some good ways to wear tall boots. I will work on some different outfit posts to show some variety. Over jeans with a fun top is one of the main ways I wear boots. I wore a couple layers on top to balance out the boots since this is a heavier utility style. Stay tuned for more examples:)
By the way, I have a lucky winner of the Printed Dress from Maple Boutique!…..# 25, Drew!
Thanks to all who entered and to Maple Boutique for hosting! Launching a new giveaway next week! (Hint: will be awesome for you accessory lovers;))
I am guest posting on the Ruche blog sharing the easy steps and instructions on how to make this no-sew fold over zipper clutch! Head on over and check it out 🙂
“I love hearing other people’s inspirations, loves and passions.” — Marissa Webb
I would love to shadow her for a day to learn from her and her creative process. Her and her team must be brilliant! (The J. Crew Design team is pictured above.) Their space must provide a good deal of inspiration. Wouldn’t it be fun to take a real life tour?
So I went through with it. I got the ombre highlights last weekend (thanks to groupon for an awesome deal to a snazzy salon), and my hair met dye for the first time ever:) I am so glad I did too. LOVE how natural it turned out, and how I won’t have to keep up with it too much. I kind of wish she wouldn’t have gone so easy on me though. I could have gone for a more drastic look. I tend to be too passive in the hair salon chair, and should have spoke up sooner. Funny story….the stylist suggested maybe purple highlights over these next time. Sorry hun- not happening!
With good reason though:) My awesome friend Laura saw me post about them here, and pointed out that Famous Footwear was having a Buy one get one half off + 20% off sale. So she had this great idea to both get a pair for a super steal. I am pretty sure these will be worn every day of fall…so they are justified:)
Beautiful pieces, huh? I was thrilled when Amy emailed me. She is a mama/ entrepreneur who started, Maple Boutique in the Southern California Mountains three years ago. She just launched the online site where some of the fantastic pieces can be purchased! Today, we are launching a giveaway of one of my personal faves from her shop, this Nude and Black Printed Dress by Lush.
Wouldn’t this be such a fun piece to layer for fall??
I love just about every piece in her shop!
