Eleven million years later




Top - Gap
Jeans - American Eagle
Silk hair scarf - Vintage, thrifted
Purple scarf - Local pharmacy (I know, right?)
Shoes - Target

Okay, so I'm definitely not doing the 30 for 30 Winter edition anymore, but this photo
has been sitting here and since I found internet I thought I would share with you my 11th
outfit from the Winter challenge.  Maybe once things settle down I can do another 30 for 30 :)

The weather here is simply gorgeous!  I only wish I weren't enjoying it from inside.
I hope y'all are able to get out and enjoy the weather for me!

Quick hello {to paint}

Hi there.
I wanted to make sure y'all knew I was still living and haven't forgotten about my little blog,
nor my sweet sweet readers!  I have simply been overloaded and I haven't had internet - yikes!

So, I wanted to drop a line :)

Also, I'm working on a few little home decor projects - you know, new place and all.
So here are two paint colors I've chosen to use on a few pieces of furniture...



I can't wait to show you all pictures of my new place!
I also can't wait to get situated in my new digs and decorate the be-Jesus out of it.
That's right.  I just said be-Jesus.  Which means I am serious about this decorating thing.

Be back soon to share all this juicy decorating :)

P.S. - It feels good to be back on the blog!  I've missed it so.

Stand by...

Sorry for the unplanned hiatus!
I promise to be back shortly with blog posts.

During this hiatus I have...

Moved to a new city
Started a new job
Been in a wedding
Had my car totaled (more details on that later)
Moved into my new home
Stressed out a little

Please bear with me until I can get my feet back on the ground :)
Thanks for the continued love and support!

Shiver me {ten}-bers




Top - American Eagle
Skirt - Ann Taylor
Boots - Steve Madden
Necklace - Target
Knee socks - Target

Here's an up-close shot of the lips:


Oh, and you notice what's behind me in the back seat of my car?

Let me tell you a story...

This morning I decided to pop into my local U-Haul store to get some of those awesome
wardrobe boxes.  You know, the ones that let you hang things up so that you aren't
going through boxes upon boxes of folded clothes and having to put them on hangers?
Yep, those.  Well, let's just say they need to re-think their design.  They do not fit into
normal sized cars when they are collapsed.  So, it took me 25 minutes to try and figure
out how in the world I was going to fit not only one box - but TWO into my sedan.

And here's a better shot of those boxes...


Here's to more packing! :)

Dressed to the nines



Top - Vintage (thrifted)
Skirt - J. Crew (this was chosen in place of one of my dresses)
Shoes - Target
Necklace - No clue
Earrings - Belk

I don't have too much to talk about today.  I think my mind has officially turned off
due to all of the packing, organizing, separating, more packing, figuring out the living
situation, packing some more, stressing, coordinating and...did I mention packing?

I can't wait to show y'all the pictures of my new place in Montgomery though!  I am head
over heels for it.  I really can't wait to start decorating it and making it my own - or at
least half my own since I will have a roommate.  Hopefully once things settle down for me
I'll have more time to concentrate on some home decor projects and crafts  :)

The eight ball





Jacket - Nordstrom
Jeans - Gap via a yardsale (got them for $2 bucks!)
Necklace - Armelle Jewelry

Well, packing is in full swing!  And of course, when I'm cooped up inside my office
or packing inside my apartment, it is absolutely beautiful outside.  C'est la vie.
I'm getting more and more excited about the move!  Especially now that I think I
know where I'll be living - that was a big question mark that was making me a bit nervous.

So, let's see what is marked off the list...

Job - Check!
Home - Check!
Boyfriend - Check!

Looks like Montgomery is going to be the best yet :)

P.S. - Have you noticed that I've been wearing my hair up a lot recently?  I've been lazy
and haven't been wanting to thoroughly blow dry my hair.  I admit it.  Plus, my hair is at
that awkward stage where its not really short but its definitely not long.  One day I'll
have long golden flowing locks again...Let's just hope I'm not 40 years old when that happens.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers



Dress - J. Crew
Cardigan - J. Crew
Wedges - Urban Outfitters
Headband - J. Crew
Earrings - Anthropologie

Y'all our weather has been crazy.  I know I've probably exhausted the topic of the
weather, but seriously - how can it snow last week and be 60-something degrees
this week?  It messes me up.  Is it just as crazy where you are?  Please say yes.
