Veronica Rose: 5 months.

September 12, 2011

This is Veronica Rose at 5 months old! She found her thumb in the first photo:)

She is miss roly poly lately. She learned to roll over this month onto her stomach and look around like a little turtle. My husband discovered her giggle, by putting her feet up to his scruff. It was the sweetest sound to our ears.

Her beautiful handmade headband is from the fabulous Ilene’s shop, Much Love Illy. Its Veronica’s new favorite:)

and of course, these are the men in our life that make every day an adventure….

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Style Files: Bold Colors Continued

September 9, 2011

I’m still crushing on bold colors for Fall!

Okay so true fact: I have never dyed or highlighted my hair. I just never felt the need to…..until I saw ombre highlights. I was sold. Well, guess what? Tomorrow my hair will undergo some minor doctoring.

Maybe I can hope it will turn out something like this??….

Is that too much to hope for?? I am just so low maintenance when it comes to my hair, and this seemed like a great solution.Wish me luck! Happy September weekend friends!

P.S. Still need your vote here! Thanks to you I am holding on to the top 20! Thank you so much for your support!

DIY: Stenciled Floor + Stenciled Rug

September 8, 2011

Since we are renting our home, stenciling the floor is not an option:/ But I had to share this cool idea for any homeowners who are looking for way to spruce up a room!…especially if your hardwood floors are beat up!

I want to add a splash of yellow in Veronica’s room so I also loved this idea of a stenciled jute rug! Jute rugs are more affordable so its a good alternative for tight budgets.

By the way, you know who is awesome with interior finds? Michelle. And I am lucky enough to meet up with her tonight. We are heading to the local Fashion Night Out:) Will share pics soon. I kind of wish they had a live Rachel Zoe Project show today. Would love to watch that craziness! 😉

Lookbook: Transition from Summer to Fall

September 7, 2011

Striped Tissue Tee: Loft, Cargo Tunic: c/o Ruche, White Jeans: Polo, Sandals: Dress Up Boutique, Necklaces: BMB, Earrings: BMB

I had to give my white jeans a last hoorah over Labor Day Weekend:)

We got a blast of cooler weather with the rain, and I loved being able to open up the house. Are fall scented candles have been running all day long for the past few days! My husband likes to claim we are getting close to Christmas…….yeah he is quite the Christmas fanatic. I kindly brought him back down to earth and reminded him we have all of Fall to enjoy first;)

P.S. My accessories (which I am crazy about!) were made by my friend Brianne. She has some pretty awesome accessories you can check out through her fan page. She just started to do this business full time, so go show her some love! Her prices are ridiculously great too!

The Cutest Kids in all the Land….

Sometimes I wish I could adopt a child of each ethnicity….And I am being dead serious.
