Spoonflower

A friend of mine recently told me about this fantastic online fabric store called Spoonflower.
I can't believe I just discovered this site!  They have a wonderful variety of fabrics and what's
great is that they have fabrics you probably won't find in any other fabric store you stumble upon.

Here are a few that caught my eye...








Check out Spoonflower for yourself!  I'm sure you'll find tons of fabrics like I did :)
I can't wait to order some of my favorites - the thing is, which one will I choose?!

I hope everyone's week is off to a great start!
Is it bad that it's only Tuesday and I'm ready for the weekend?

Prayers Needed

Sorry for the absence in blog posts, but between work and the recent destruction in our
state I haven't had much time or energy for posts.  Our beautiful state has been destroyed
in so many areas.  I can't even begin to describe the damage across our state.  It brings me to tears.

As many of you have probably heard, the city of Tuscaloosa was one of the main areas that
was hit by the recent tornadoes in the South.  It's absolutely horrible.  The destruction is
unreal and the fact that a place I called my home for four years is sitting in rubble is devastating.

Luckily, the city I live in now was not affected by the tornadoes that hit our state,
although I cannot say the same for so many of the cities that were left in ruins.

Here is a video of the tornado hitting Tuscaloosa:


To get an idea of the tornado damage in Tuscaloosa, just google "Tuscaloosa tornado damage."
The thing is, the damage you see in those photos doesn't even begin to cut the surface.
Tuscaloosa, and our entire state needs your prayers.

You might wonder why I said in the first paragraph that I hadn't been blogging much
because of the storm damage in our state - Well, I work for the Governor of the State of Alabama.
And needless to say this past week has been quite busy, hectic, heart breaking and stressful.
I know this post is quite scatter-brained, but I have a hard time expressing the damage that
our state is sitting in right now.  Please send prayers to the people affected by this horrible tragedy.

My Zara Wish List: Shoes

Dear Zara,

Please bring a store to Montgomery.  Or at least to Birmingham so I can drive there.

My Zara Wish List: Dresses

My new clothing obsession is Zara.  I could browse their online shop all. day. long.
And since they don't have a physical store where I live, that's what I've resorted to.
So, while I've been drooling on my computer and looking at all of these adorable items
of clothing, I thought I would share with y'all my top dress picks from Zara's online store.

You're welcome :)

Just click on the number below to view that particular dress on zara.com.

1      2      3      4      5      6      7      8

Oh, and did I mention - They are all under $100.
Bada-bing.  Bada-boom.  I'll be here all week people.

Tomorrow, I'll be sharing my favorite shoe picks on Zara.
Happy hump-day!

Skimp or Splurge: Kate Spade

My favorite article of clothing is a Kate Spade dress that I splurged on while in San Francisco
last year.  I actually did my very first blog post on that dress.  Ever since I got my hands on
that dress I have been head over heels for all things Kate Spade - but since her products
aren't my bank account's favorite I thought I would do a skimp or splurge on a KS outfit!



Total = $863


The Skimp:


Total = $182.29

Savings = $680.71

Which one would you choose?  Is this something you would wear?
Have a happy Monday! :)

First Impressions

The first impression of your home on the inside is the entry way.
You want to make this space inviting and warm.  So in my search to make my
new entry way inviting I came across a few foyers that really caught my eye!

These are each a little different, but I'm drawn to all of them!
How do you decorate your entry way?  Any tips for decorating mine?

Happy Monday! :)

The big 2-5

Come Tuesday I will be 25 years old.
I've heard a lot of my friends say that it's that age when you realize that
you're in your mid-twenties and you're half-way to the ripe old age of 30 (I kid).

Honestly, age to me is just a number and I am welcoming it with open arms. I'm headed to
my hometown of Marietta, Georgia this weekend to spend time with my family and do a
little much needed birthday shopping - Montgomery doesn't have too much shopping to
offer...No Anthro, J. Crew or Pottery Barn!  I know.  The horror - the horror!

I hope you each have a wonderful weekend :)
