My Top 5 | May 2013

1 | Harrison Strip USB by Kate Spade

Isn’t this the cutest USB ever?! I love that it doubles as a key ring that way it makes it harder to lose.

2 | Morange by MAC

Morange by MAC is the perfect red/orange lipstick. So fun for fancy summer nights!

3 | Color Bug

I love my pink color bug! It’s perfect for when I feel like adding a little crazy to my hair that isn’t permanent.

4 | Easy Rider by Kevin Murphy

I recently got this from my hair dresser and I have been so impressed by it! I was blessed with frizzy hair and this is perfect for taming my hair that likes to stand up throughout the day.

5 | Crystal Tape Dispenser

I found this crystal tape dispenser at one of my favorite antique stores and thought it was perfect for my washi tape! It also adds a fun flare to my desk. :)

My Top 5 | April 2013

1 | Striped Day Dress

This is the perfect dress for any day! It’s casual but can also be dressy. I also think the way the stripes come together on the dress are so unique and fun.

2 | Olive You! Canvas

I couldn’t help but feature Lindsay Letters again! OLIVE this canvas print so much. :)

3 | Vestige Lipstick Holder

I just think this is so cute and clever! It’s so easy for lipstick to get lost at the bottom of the make-up bag (or is that just me?! haha). I love the idea of turning lipstick into decoration!

4 | Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eye and Cheek Palette by Aqualillies for tarte

To be honost … the thing that drew my attention the most to this product was the beautiful packaging. I just love it!! Other than the pretty packaging, this is perfect for weekend getaways! It’s a great travel size I love all of the colors.

5 | Essie’s “Resorts” Collection

I’m loving Essie’s “Resorts” collection. I recently purchased “in the cab-ana” (the blue!) and “first timer” (the green!). Not only are they great colors on their own but they also make for fun designs when combined together!

My Top 5 | March 2013

1 | Mismatched Nails

I love the mismatched nail look! Just pick out two colors that go together and put one on each hand. This is an easy way to make a simple manicure unique!

2 | Jouer’s Matte Moisture Tint

This is the BEST thing I’ve gotten in my birchbox! I love the coverage and matte effect. PLUS, with my oily skin this lasted better than every single foundation I’ve ever used.

3 | Venezia Spoon Rest

Having a new home means you need new home accessories … right?! I love this Spoon Rest from Anthropologie.

4 | Lindsay Letters

Lindsay Letters is my new favorite calligrapher! All of her work is so unique and beautiful. Not only are they perfect to decorate with but the make the perfect gift for friends and family! Be sure to check out more of her work here.

5 | Fairburn Necklace

Anthropologie has done it again. Another great statement necklace! I love the bright red stones and gold chains mixed together. I believe this goes with any outfit whether it be casual or dressy!

Triplet Birth Announcement | The Huckins

This is a TRIPLE fun post for me! (haha!) I absolutely loved designing this birth announcement for the Huckins family.

Lindsay (AKA the Super Mom!) had a brilliant idea to have a tri-fold announcement making sure baby Holland, Henry and Hazelle had their own page.

I have a special place in my heart for tri-folds (probably because Brandon and I had one for our wedding invite!) so I was excited to get started on the design. Plus, you just don’t see them that often in the invitation or baby announcement world so I think they add a fun element of surprise when the envelope is opened. :)

Be sure to check out more of their beautiful newborn photos by Natasha Brown! They were just perfect for the birth announcement and they captured the love and joy this little family has for their three newest family members.

Home Sweet Home

I am so excited to be sharing the news that Brandon and I bought our FIRST home. We are so excited about this new journey. We are full of ideas and DIY inspiration to make this home ours.

Buying a home is a crazy-fun adventure. Crazy being a nicer word for stressful and fun meaning I LOVE house hunting. I could have walked through houses all day, Brandon on the other hand … not so much. Ha!

I’m so happy that Brandon and I took “First Home Photos”. I feel like they really capture that the BEST feelings of when you buy a house. That moment when you get the keys and the house is finally yours. It’s like your dreams and reality collide. Such a great feeling!! :)

Thank you Scott Cornelius for capturing this moment for us! These pictures will be forever cherished. :)

Playing Dress Up…

When I was a little girl I only wanted to wear dresses. Seriously. My mom and grandma are full of stories that involve me and dresses and not wanting to wear ANYTHING else. (Like, I was a big pout if I didn’t get to wear a dress. Classic embarrassing childhood stories, ya know?!)

They other day I came across this photo on Pinterest that made me want to just lay around in fancy dresses. Even go grocery shopping in a fancy dress. Pretty much just wear fancy dresses like this 24/7.

So … now I’m planing a party just for that! Dressing up just to dress up because we are never too old for that, right?!
