I'll Be Seeing You
Hello Friends! I know the last couple of weeks my posts have been sporadic at best and I haven’t even had time to spend reading your beautiful blogs either. Sadly I am not here to say that I am back on track. My Hubster and I both work in Education; he’s a teacher and I work for the school board in the Special Education Department. And because we both work in Education it means that this time of...

An Insta-Replay Birthday
(1. Birthday Banner 2. Vintage Party Dress 3. Carnival Decor for fun 4. Whiskey, Lime and Cola 5. Tuckered out by sunrise 6. Thank you kisses)
Yesterday was Hubster’s 26th birthday and I threw him a crazy surprise party. It went off without a hitch; he had no idea when he came home that there was a house full of people there to show him their love. We stayed up all night...

Mixed Up
I think my expression says it all, I am a little bit unsure of my print mixing ability and a little bit confused by my demure jewelry. I think I am still a little bit mixed up and out of sorts since the passing of my dear Felix, I hope my style confidence will come back to me any day now.

Creative Healing (DIY Cover)
There is nothing like throwing yourself into a little project to help calm your mind and start the healing process after a loss. So I hooked up the sowing machine and got to work on some covers for my ipod.
Grab a cup of joe and see the instructions after the break.

R.I.P My Dear Friend
I’m sorry for the unexpected silence here, but we’ve suffered a great loss in our tiny family. Our dear cat Felix died suddenly and unexpectedly one morning this week. I wrote a little eulogy for him.
Dear Felix, I never liked cats and frankly I still don’t, not really. But you, you were so different. I remember when I first saw your bright lime eyes in the shelter, and...

Baby of the 80's
I was born and (mostly) raised in the 80’s so I know all about neon. I remember one of my very first trendy outfits was this fit and flare dress that was black jersey on the top and bottom with this crazy neon geometric print. I remember feeling so cool, I loved twirling in that dress. Now when I take on neon I can only do subtle hints, I am not as brave as my baby self.

Menswear Monday
Don’t you love the monochromatic look Hubster is sporting today? In this oh-so-trendy color? I love how his outfit is so on trend, but he didn’t spend a fortune to put it together and it doesn’t scream “Look at me, I’m trendy!”. I think that’s the beauty of the monochrome look, it’s understated but so snazzy.

Featured Sponsor: Anjolee
When I was first approached to work with Anjolee I was a little uncertain because aside from my lovely engagement ring I prefer quirky and unusual jewelry to classic diamond pieces. But I have to say after looking at their website I think I may be a diamond convert. Their pieces are so classic but with a twist like this mixed metal diamond bracelet with a diamond hive-like pattern.

Shapes Over Styles
I just to have a certain style, when I was a teen I was, well, a punk kid. Can you believe it? I’m a little embarrassed. Anyway, the point being that I only wore punk style clothing like ratty jeans, studded belts, band tees and the like. I didn’t care so much about fit or shape. Now I base all my clothing decisions on shape and fit. I usually select dress that fit on the top and...

Take Aim
“I was wondering what camera you use? Your photos are so bright and sharp!” -Asks Martha via email
First, I’d like to thank Martha for taking the time to ask me a question. Now onto the question. I actually use two different cameras, one for my daily posts and one for about town and vacation...

Long Days
I have been working way longer hours the last couple of week (whiner, I know!) which has taken a serious toll on my ability to enjoy putting together outfits and has taken my creativity out of my outfits too. But thankfully my work place does not have a dress code, so I just threw on my favorite dress, cute flats and a cardi (not shown) and went about my day.

Menswear Monday
This is my favorite look on Hubster, well actually on any man. I love plaid and jeans. I don’t know if it’s because I grew up on farm land or during the grunge era, but plaid and jeans looks perfect on all men to me.

While I'm Away
Hello My Lovelies! I have a favor to ask. Hubster and I work in the education system, so lucky us we get the summer’s off. We are headed back to our home towns to visit family and friends. I know I was just away for two weeks, and I asked for guest posters and you ladies did such a lovely job I am going to ask the same favor again.
I am looking for 6 to 12 guest posters who want to...
