Bragging Rights

 So I just have to take the time to brag on my wonderful husband who also has pretty great taste in clothes once I can get him out of his favorite neon T-shirt.

This is one of his favorite outfits (and mine too).  And how could it not be!

He's wearing:
-Kaki pants from H&M (that he swears by)
-Denim shirt is from American Eagle which is not where we typically shop but when you have a gift card...and he really pulls it off if I say so myself.

Anyways I just wanted to take a day and brag on my handsome hubby :)

P.S. I might have taken these photos with a 35mm....

 I'm sure you're all super curious as to what I wore to church this past Sunday...so after much demand here it is.

Great coral and navy dress by Dizzy Lizzy via TJMax.
Navy tights from Target, gray sweater also from Target.
And my favorite shoes of all time, gray, Madden Girl, one inch heels with leather ruffles!

Of course I had to top it all of with two layers of coats, gloves, and a scarf but it's the thought that counts.

Baby Shower

Last weekend I threw a baby shower for one of my dearest friends who is expecting a beautiful baby boy next month! I thought I would share some photos!

My dad and I worked on these little wooden       blocks with Gabriel's name on them. 

I used  Martha Stewart chalk board paint to create a cute sign for the gifts. 

I used a Curious George story book as a guest book.  It makes a great take home gift for the mom-to-be and something fun to remember the day. 

Zoo animals seemed like a fun theme for the party so I tried using these great animal cut out wherever I could. 

I use these jars from Target for everything! I wrapped some colored baking twine around the lids to tie it all in together.

These great little cups were perfect for the small treats that you don't want you and your closest friends to all touch :)

No baby shower is complete without fresh flowers (or at least that's how I see feel)  A great way to make your own vases is to take an old jar or bottle and wrap scrapbook paper  around them and then add some twine or ribbon around them to finish it off.  I used the small scrapbook paper that I used for everything to just to tie it all in together.

 Since we were celebrating the arrival of a bouncing baby boy what better way to toast a new life than blue punch?! That's right blue and white striped straws! 

 I hope you enjoyed the photos! It was so wonderful to get to spend time with such a wonderful friend and celebrate their little miricle!  Let me know what you think I'd love some feedback.

The Hunt

I've tried to blog in the past but I'm gonna give it another go!  Most of you know that I am a recent college graduate,  I studied fine arts.  Being out the school isn't a walk in the park like the picture I had painted in my head. I had dreamt of a certain way my life would go and I believe that I am on my way however we have had a few pitstops along the way.  Each morning when I wake-up I have to remind myself how I am and where I came from and where I would like to go.  I lived in this beautiful bubble of art and creativity in school. It wasn't hard to make time to create and enjoy, however, most of my days now are filled with work and other average things.  And please don't get me wrong, there is something great about the average things; going to work and to the grocery store or to visit family, but I am realizing that the way I used to express myself is missing.  Each day has become a hunt for beauty and a new way of expression.

I would love to use this as new form of expression.  I love fashion, art, and making spaces feel warm and creative.  I'd like to bring you in on my journey to find these forms of creativity as well, whether that be an outfit I threw together, or something new I've done in our apartment. I hope you'll join me on this new journey to create and share!
