Leather Lust

I am one of Summer’s biggest fans. But as much as I love it, I must admit the unseasonably oppressive heat in Arkansas for the last month has me jonesing for cool, crisp fall weather. I’m looking forward to football games, boots and keeping the windows down; I’m looking forward to wearing whatever I want and topping it with a thin, comfortable jacket. Preferably leather. A leather jacket can transform ANY outfit. I’m a dress-girl. I would wear a dress over pants or a skirt any day. They’re just more comfortable! Your cutest summer dress + chic leather jacket = perfection.

Wonderful Wednesday

Love this carefree look. 

Hi! First night in new place! So exciting! I felt like I was playing house because it felt so surreal to have a place all my own.

I live dangerously close to an Italian restaurant (2 doors down). I’m afraid I will be running over there constantly!

Everything is still in disarray but arranging and decorating is the fun part, right?

I’m very much looking forward to having friends over, hosting dinner parties and utilizing my bar cart!

I can’t wait to share photos with you…

You don’t have to live in Texas…

…to look this good.

The first day of the weekend

Hello there. Doesn’t Thursday always feel like the beginning of the weekend? No matter how much you must accomplish before Friday evening, when it officially commences? It’s always a wash of relief to wake up and know it’s Thursday. There are four full days before Monday comes round again.

This weekend is particularly exciting for me because Saturday is my birthday. It’s always lovely when your birthday falls on the weekend, particularly Saturday. You can compel your friends and loved ones to celebrate Thurs. night straight through Sunday morning. That’s what I plan to do…per usual. I still get very excited about birthdays. What’s not to love about an occasion to celebrate, where everyone you care about feels obliged to make you feel special?

Fortunately, I already feel special. Hope you do too…on your birthday and always.

New Week

It’s a new week. I’m having trouble letting go of the weekend. I had too much sun & too much food and I’m paying for it today. This week it’s still so hot and we’ve got to spend most of it moving.

Love this look:
