Fridays's Fancies






 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.


It's Friday's Fancies and I'm feeling casual and hip today! I went on a little shopping trip with my mom last Friday and we were going gaga for all the clothes at Anthropologie. My mom died over those orange linen pants and I thought yet again, I have definitely got your style, momma! I picked up an adorable blouse that had enough hint of peach to look good with the pants...noticing, the best part about it? The back with the super cute tied knot! Of course I couldn't help but pull off the gem-stoned necklace close by and- Tada! We've got a winner! We had found the perfect styled outfit for "mommy & me." ;)
Searched for some braided flat pumps online and then found this "patina-kissed brass curl" ring. That name just says it all...and the look is complete!

Happy Friday Lovely Blog Friends! ;)





I was searching around on the Joss & Main site and came across these beautiful vintage nautical prints!
What could describe a more beachy feel than these beautiful shells and octopus? They look so good in a placement of four. I chose these specific four because of their coloring and intricate shapes. Also because of the way they looked as a whole in terms of the composition.
Of course I decided to play around and see what they would look like above a console table and what decor I would choose to place with them. I went in Z Gallerie last weekend and just admired this resin clam shell, and thought boy, it would look so good under this table!





There's plenty more to choose from so go check out them out now!

Versatile & Stylish Blogger Award




Jenna over at a' la mode was so gracious to award me the Versatile Blogger Award yesterday! I have to apologize to my sister, Dana, over at Southern Inspired, who awarded me the Stylish Blogger Award way back in March and I totally forgot about it! The requirements are about the same so I thought I'd creatively combine the two. You're supposed to come up with 7 things about yourself that someone might not know about you.




Here it goes!





1. Long Distance Relationships- Not sure why, but I have had at least 3 serious long distance relationships! Others that have not been so serious are still from or living in another state. It's just my luck to meet such a catch and then quickly find out yet again, he lives in Timbuktu!! I can totally relate with {av} Long Distance Loving. I seriously can't complain, though. The beauty lies within getting to know the person really well and having the freedom to live your life from day to day aside from the relationship. Plus, I'm always ready for the next road trip!

2. Coral & Lavender- My favorite Color Combo for sure!! Ranging from different shades and hues of the two colors are completely acceptable and recommended! I've loved both colors throughout my life and found out recently combining the two is pure magic!!

3. Skirts & Dresses Please!- I am a huge fan of skirts and dresses for the simple fact that you can walk around in them freely! The only pants I ever wear are jeans. But my legs are more comfortable in the latter for sure!

4. Skydiving- My junior year of college I took the plunge and went skydiving!! Best adrenaline rush ever!! There's nothing else like it and you just can't explain the experience...MUST DO! PERIOD!

5. Movies Alone- I'm that girl who goes to the movies by herself. Silly to most, lame to others..I know. Sometimes I go solo because nobody else can go or just because I want that time to think and be entertained by myself. I am a strong believer in doing certain things all on my own. Who says you can't be entertained in a theater by yourself? And more times than none I grab my favorite theater treat: buttered popcorn, raisinete's and Cherry Coke!!

6. No Picky Eater Here!- I can say without a doubt that I like every kind of food there is. If I don't, I want to fight the pickiness and try it til I like it! haha I'm sure glad I sucked it up because I can't see how I ever lived without guacamole, blue cheese, olives and brussels sprouts!

7. Closet Singer- I love to sing! A LOT! Not for the sound of the voice but the feelings I get and the stress I relieve when I sing. I've played around and recorded on tapes since I was 12. Since then, I've sang at an open mic show and my sisters wedding. Other than that, if I know you, you probably won't hear me sing. Unless you're lucky. I'm incredibly shy when singing in front of people I know. So secretly in my room and driving in my car are the only places my music glands will ever let loose!


Now I'm given the chance to pass on the Stylish Blogger Award to 3 bloggers and the Versatile Blogger Award to 15 of my favorite and/or new blogs to me, that I find just plain fabulous!

Here goes:

Sail Away




I love to dream, obviously, so I'm taking the day off in my head and headed to a glorious ocean to sail away on this magnificent sail boat! Of course it wouldn't feel as venturesome if I wasn't dressed for the occasion in my breezy and dazzling attire. Add some binoculars and a good book and I'm set!




Where is your mind taking you off to today?

Sometimes you just need to get out and clear your head. A little pampering never hurt anyone either ;)
Looking forward to bliss in a couple weeks...

What's got you dreaming?


Bangled





Bangles are all sorts of HOT right now! I'm used to wearing a watch and skinny bracelet, so a lot of these thick bangles will take some getting use to. But I think they're totally worth it and can really spruce up the look of an outfit. And all come in at the super low price of Forever21!

I found two more cuties added this morning!
