For the love of Fabric and anything Shiney

I LOVE these necklaces by Candace Ang. I attempted to make one...lets just say I'm not planning on ever wearing it, it looks horrible.  I love the fabric and the bling. These necklaces are an outfit all by themselves, they would look good with even a white tee and cute jeans. I likey.

Here I am attempting to be like Candace Ang with great failure....

 

 

I decided it wasn't even worth it to bedazzle, there was no hope for this necklace. =)

Fall Style

As per request of Julia over at OpenHandedLiving I've come up with a fashion post. After all, it is Fashion week. I've been playing around and came up with a new outfit for fall. I tried to base it on things I already had in my closet, like the cowboy boots and a similar red sweater although this one here is way cuter. Comfort is key to me, and I don't believe in sacrificing comfort for fashion. I love coming home and switching into comfy sweats anyways.

The picture only shows up itty bitty size, so you can click here to view it in full. I tried to keep it tied to a "room" as my inspiration.

Hope you like it!

Anthropologie Flower Necklace

I have a confession, I splurged. You know how in magazines they always have the "Splurge" and "Steal" versions of something. I rarely even look at the splurge item. I'm all about a steal! When I was in San Francisco I was feelin frisky and fell in love with this necklace from anthropologie so I bought it! I can't wait to wear it. Its quite a statement. Compared to all their other necklaces it was actually quite a STEAL! So I feel good about it.


Here are some other great fabric flower necklaces to peek your interest:

Nothing like a Saturday afternoon Romper

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I want a romper! But I want one that isn't styled after booty shorts, like most of the ridiculously cute ones. I want about half of these. They just look so easy and comfortable.

July 09...Anthropologie Catalog

Every time I get a new anthropologie catalog in the mail, I do a little (Yipppyyyyy!!!) dance. I wait for the perfect time and get all comfy to flip through it. Yes, there's a strategy to get the most enjoyment out of a catalog. I don't even look at prices anymore, too depressing. =) But it is GREAT inspiration. I thought I should share with you some of the joy I get when I flip through the pages. Here are some of my favorite layouts...



I LOVE the tea set in this picture. The white and blue china looks awesome with the pink roses on the tea cup.
And isn't that a unique slipcover for a couch? ;)





I've yet to meet an anthropologie curtain that I didn't like.
















The shoe light fixture... so creative. Realized, this could be awesome in a great walk-in closet. =)
























I bet in heaven, it rains shoes like this...







And there it is folks, my favorite catalog ever! Its such an exciting time to get a new catalog in the mail. Its like you get to peek into other peoples houses and closets. I also love getting pottery barn's and west elm's. What are some of YOUR favorite catalogs that you just can't wait to flip through?
