Girl About Town April 12, 2013 2 Comments

You know I’m a drugstore cosmetics type of girl, but I was jones-ing for a new shade of lipstick today before a work event this evening and my boss recommended MAC’s ‘Girl About Town.’ Sold. It’s perfect and worth the extra little splurge. Source: Kayture and MAC

E & C: Save the Dates February 26, 2013 11 Comments

If you follow me on Instagram and Twitter you probably noticed a lot of chatter a few weeks back about save the dates. They have been printed, stamped, sealed and shipped so I thought I’d share here as well. For our save the dates, we wanted to keep it simple so we opted for black [...]

Planning for 2013 December 5, 2012 No Comments

Target is killing it in the office supply section right now. Of course I happened upon it while I was supposed to be in the back of the store looking for Christmas decorations but at only $7.99, this beauty had no chance. Together, we’re going to conquer 2013. The online selection isn’t nearly as cute [...]

I avoided almost all shopping this weekend and cyber Monday deals yesterday, but then I got an email from BHLDN. After that I felt an overwhelming need to buy 30 chalkboard tags and some sparkly cake accessories. Woops… Source: BHLDN

Current Favorite: Lip Stain April 11, 2012 1 Comment

I’ve tried the lip stick thing and it’s not working out for me, friends. I find it all up in my teeth, on my clothes and usually smeared places on my face it shouldn’t be. Maybe that’s a sign that I need to stop touching my face and be more careful when changing clothes, but [...]

The Bee Cottage March 26, 2012 6 Comments

A couple weeks ago when my mom and sister were visiting, we stopped by a little shop called The Bee Cottage in Excelsior. The shop, only open once a month, was full of antiques and treasures all at an affordable price. And, best part, it is run by some incredibly friendly ladies (who become more [...]

Desk Needs March 13, 2012 1 Comment

The desk with no chairs got a temporary fix last week (hello folding chairs from the basement, you look classy) and now that we’re actually using the desk we found we are in need of lighting for it as well. Does it ever end? This flea market desk is such a diva. So now the [...]

Mismatch February 22, 2012 3 Comments

Somehow in my furniture purchasing and collecting adventures I have ended up with more surfaces than chairs to accompany them. I’ve got a table that needs four friends to gather around it and a desk the seats two. That leaves me in need of six chairs.  I’ve bopped around looking at some furniture retailers that [...]

Wanted: Red February 13, 2012 No Comments

As I was staring at my closet this morning (which is in need of a big-time purge) I noticed I don’t have anything red to wear tomorrow. Perhaps the hum-drum of winter and my hankering for neutrals is to blame, but I can’t believe I’ve neglected this color entirely. Maybe I’ll acquire a show stopping [...]
