Kate Spade Licorice too Pumps

Well…if I’m completely honest with you, my heart skips a beat pretty often. I tend to get overly excited and/or obsessed with pretty things quit easily and way too fast. Especially in the shoe department. But my most recent heart-skipped-a-beat-moment was when I came across the Kate Spade Licorice pump. I’m a long time lover of the classic Manolo pump and these Kate Spade babies are the perfect alternative to the…

Action is the Foundation of All Success

Action is the Foundation of All Success – what a great quote! So simple, yet SO true. Given the new year, I’ve been thinking a lot about goals in general and what it means to actually pursue them. And although having a plan and being organized is important, I think there should be just as much emphasis placed on simply getting started. Because I don’t know about you but I have…

Just Because: Eye Candy

Because sometimes all I really want to do is….nothing. And mindlessly look at pretty pictures.  Why? I’m not sure, but I thoroughly enjoy it.  I’m ready to be hone for the holidays. But am I finished with my Christmas shopping? Oh gosh, not even close. I can’t even. I’ll figure that out tomorrow…since when am I such a procrastinator?! Brooke Nipar  //  The Decorista //.

1. Came across this print (love it!) – Oh Come Let Us Adore Him Print via Suzie Stationary 2. Love this awesome idea of making your own Christmas Light Up Marquee  via A Beautiful Mess Blog! It looks like a little bit of work, but she explains the process really well! (If you’re interested, here’s what you’ll need: a large wood board (50 x 24 inches), 4 wood planks (2 x 1…

Excuse My French, But I Gotta Get Shit Done

Please excuse me while I continue to work my little tooshie off all day and (most of the) night until the end of time this audit….which will hopefully (better be) be next Wednesday (fingers crossed!). Besides the fact that my life is a total MESS right now and that I’m not really able to do much of anything outside of work, I have to admit that I actually don’t hate…

I Am Always Sure About What I Don’t Want

I am almost never sure about what I want but I am always sure about what I don’t want. The million dollar question of becoming an adult – what do you want? Because life is what you make it and you can have anything you want if you work hard enough – right? And the only thing YOU have to figure out (before you can advance from step A to…

Friday Links // November 1 2013

The new BaubleBar Bartender Collection with Blair of Atlantic Pacific – Oh. Em. Gee. It’s unbelievably good. I may or may not have just placed 3 items from the collection in my shopping cart….along with some other glittery goodies. I’ll let you guess how that little story ended… Coveting this amazingly glam and girly pillow combo situation via The Life Styled. Need that gold pillow…yesterday.

Search. And You Will Find.

People Will Forget What You Say…

“People will forget what you say, forget what you do, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” This is one of the quotes my mom has always preached. In her eyes, being nice to everyone, no matter what, was maybe even more important than making good grades or Varsity Cheerleading. She was always more concerned about the way we treated others, especially those that weren’t in our close friend…

Share The Love – Compliment Others

NEVER forget how good it feels to hear something positive about yourself. Share the Love! You know that feeling you get when someone comments on how great you look? Or when you see the facebook/instagram “likes” piling up on your notification screen/feed? Yeah…you know you do. We can all relate on this one. Think about how good that simple bit of positive affirmation feels. You don’t hate it…right? Thought so.…

Seriously, even those days where everything imaginable goes wrong, you can still control the way you react and adjust your perspective on the situation. Right? So do yourself a favor and choose happiness!  Here are a…

When You Get Jealous

I know...much easier said than done. But I got to thinking and I'm curious, why do we do this? Why do we (willingly!) dig ourselves deeper and deeper into a dark black hole that only leads to lust for more more more! I need this. I want that. I want to be like her. She's got it all together- sigh.
