Weekly Finds

Have I ever confessed to you how much I love Hobby Lobby?  Well, I do.  I really, really do.  They have great prices on their home decor items and they have great sales all the time.  The sister-in-law needed to go this weekend and I selflessly volunteered to tag along.  You know for moral support.  I was happy to sacrifice myself for her.  It should surprise no one that I came home with several cute items.  They are so cute, that I don't even have a favorite.  Let's take a look, shall we?

This might be the cutest lamp in my entire house.  I love the burlap texture of the shade and the little flowers.  So cute.

The picture frames were 50% off, so I came home with two.  It just made sense...kind of like a buy one get one free situation.

This bird was also 50% off, so he had to come home with me.

I mean he's wearing a crown for crying out loud. I needed him. Hmmm...it might be a fancy girl bird and not a boy. I'll have to get back to you on that.

Now what did I do with all these treasures?  The only thing that I had already found a place for in my mind when I made my purchase was the lamp, so we will start there.  The red picture frame found it's location alongside the lamp.

Where is this magical space you ask?

At the end of my blue hallway of course.

The blue picture frame found its home on the windowsill in my bathroom.

And finally my fancy yellow bird landed on my coffee table.

Everything, but the lamp was on sale.  I spent less than 100 bucks, in fact it was even closer to 80 than to 100.  I was pleased.  Have you made any wonderful finds for your home lately?

There may have been a little wine consumed during the making of this post.  :)

In other very exciting news the spring outfit that I blogged about with my new top from ModCloth is making its debut today.  Yay spring!

It figures that the only full length mirror in our home is in the husband's den.  Makes for exciting outfit pictures where I look like I have antlers.  Lol.

Have a lovely day!

Spring Fashion

I have been pinning spring outfit ideas like crazy on Pinterest.  I can't wait for spring.  This winter has been long...seriously, freezing in March?!  Houston has lost its mind.  I am growing especially impatient because I got this cute top from Mod Cloth and I cannot wait to wear it.

Isn't it cute!?  I wanted to wear it to work on Monday, but oh, no it was in the 40s.  Sigh.  The upside?  I got to order some cute flats to go with my new top.  Score.

To tide me over until I can wear the outfit I have planned, I tried my hand at making one of those fun outfit inspiration pictures like I have been pinning.

Not too bad for a first try, huh?  Okay, I'll work on it.  In my outfit...top, shoes, bag, earrings, necklace.  The shoes are the actual ones I ordered for my outfit.  The jewelry and the bag I love, but alas do not own.

Here are a couple more outfits that I have pinned.  I actually looked at my board when I got dressed this morning.

I might be turning into a fashionista on you.  Look out.

Bring on Spring!

It is a gorgeous day here in Houston and despite the fact that I have to work a little bit today, I am excited about spring-like weather.  This weather is perfect for day dreaming about new spring outfits.

I absolutely adore this outfit especially the shoes and accessories.   I have been loving gold and mixed metal accessories lately and I received some bangle bracelets in for Christmas that would work perfectly with an outfit like this.  All I need is the shirt, shoes, and purse.  No big deal.  Ha.  This bag is definitely going on my wish list.  I heart it.

What is not to love about blue with pops of green?  I love it all.

Look mixed metal bangles!  I think the color mix in this outfit is so cute.  Love the bag and shoes.  So simple, so cute.

Okay, who wants to go shopping?
