Back in USA

Oh my, I am finally back from our trip to Poland and Germany. I had the loveliest of lovely times. Poland was a page taken from a Brothers Grimm tale. BEAUTIFUL! I would like to share some stories in the next couple of weeks along with some images I took. So I hope I don't bore you. Also, I will be starting back up on my normal blogging. I have found some amazing little treasures, that I can't wait to brag about! Ok, so for today, I leave you with some images from my trip.

Mimi has been a busy bee

I know, I know! I am the world worst blogger. I have been neglecting my blogging duties, but I promise that I have been extra busy lately. I have some big news to share after my trip to Poland, which starts this Thursday. For now, I would love to share my new favorite thing... picture that I took of Baby Jameson. He is perfection, he is sweet, he makes little squeaky noises, he is teeny weeny and he is my new little nephew via my dear friend Brandi. I can't wait to have a little one of my own!

DIY- Fabulous Dress Accessory

I wanted to share a fun way to Carrie Bradshaw a simple dress. Have fun and make the world prettier one dress at a time !

Step 1:

I bought these beautiful beaded leaves from Pier 1 Imports. They cost about 8 bucks each. Odd numbers work best.

Step 2:

I took the stems off of the leaves with scissors.

Step 3:

I got my trusty glue gun out and started heating up that sucker.

Step 4:

Arrange your leaves before gluing.

Step 5:

Glue each leaf together.

Step 6:

Your all done!

Step 7:

Pin your new beautiful accessory to your simple cocktail dress and enjoy! I chose to pin it to my strapless tube dress.

DIY- T-shirt Loop Scarf

Hello all,

Here I am sitting in my creative chamber watching last nights amazing episode of Glee, when I realized I haven't done a DIY tutorial in months and months. I have lots of them all saved up in my computer but haven't shared them with the universe. So please enjoy this little fun project.

Take an old t-shirt of any color. I bought this beauty at the local thrift store for a dollar. Make sure the shirt does not have seams on the sides.

Cut the shirt from armpit to armpit and throw away.

Cut 1 inch strands side to side. This will make loops of fabric.

Cut the rest of the shirt into strands. When you are done cutting strands take each loop and rap around hand and pull.

Once you pull the strands they will look like this.

Wrap around the neck twice to make a fun little t-shirt loop scarf.

If you love this project, send me a comment or question!

Dirty Thirty (+1)

Countdown has commenced for my Sex and the City theme birthday party. Seriously, how lucky am I that my birthday lands on the same week as the opening of the greatest movie of all time??? Meant to be, I think so!

So as we get closer and closer to the 30th, I really have to buckle down to create my Carrie inspired outfit. So far, I bought some fake herrrr at the flea market in Georgia. I also have some leaves that I am going to rig to make a giant flower. So in the spirit of fashion and all that is Carrie, here are some images to wet your palette and get you pumped for the new movie and my birthday!!!

Will also post a little Carrie outfit DIY.

Adventures in the Dirty South

Last week was magical! I spent 5 whole days with my college partner in crime, Crystal. We laughed, we danced, we ate, we met Jerry Rice. My travels started in Greeneville took me to Atlanta and ended in DC. So here is my trip in images.... Enjoy.

Ruby and I at Crystal's barn. I am pretty much the horse whisperer.
