Never Overlook Classic

If it isn't broken, don't fix it. 

I have simply adored Vans since high school. Recently, they have fallen victim to the back of the closet. That won't be a problem after I get my hands on these. 

Remember this post. Mission accomplished. Absolute perfection.

Ear Bling

I love these. Mainly because they would match with everything.

They match everything in the same way I justified buying these.

It's No Secret

I love shoes. As in I would have an entire closet dedicated to shoes if it were at all possible. *sigh* One day.

With shoes in mind, I have my sights set on these puppies as my fall staple.

Madewell, you are simply genius!

And while we are at it, lets throw in this sweater for good measure.

Almost cozy enough to make you wish Fall upon us already!

Sights Set On Fall

Today is the first day of August! And that means my birthday is in 23 days.

Ahem.

These might possibly be the sleekest pair of Sperry Top-Siders I have ever seen. In love. 

I wear a size 7.5.

All Dressed Up

I have been meaning to blog about this adorable Etsy shop for a while. It amazes me how I let it slip. I cannot get over a) how super cute this product is and b) how absolutely dapper this dog is. I think the amazing photography is what drew me into this shop, it really is stunning and makes all the difference. Without further ado may I present the brilliance of SillyBuddy:

Seriously!?! How cute is that guy. The Hub's desperately wants a puggle and gazing at this shop with me did not help. I still have my fingers crossed for a lab, but if we can find a little one as studly as this guy I am sold.

Now, I am wondering if I can order one of these lovelies for my Woody-cat? He can rock a bow tie.

Oh My, Good Gracious

I have a new object of affection. Hit the Dock Rudy by Kate Spade.

And of course this particular purse would not be complete without the cutest coin purse I have ever seen. Isn't it just perfect for this bag?

I may need to purchase these items (hey, at least the purse is on sale!) with the first paycheck from my new job. Yup! Thats right! This lady gets to leave "the 9-5" for something far more exciting and intellectually compelling. My new position is entitled "Social Media Manager," I know you must be as happy for me as I am because I have not spared complaint these past months.

The Hub's and I will be packing up and moving north to Annapolis, MD over Memorial day weekend. We could not be more thrilled to be closer to family, friends, the Bay, the beach and fresh seafood! This is a very welcome change. Peace out Hill City!

With all that said, wouldn't this purse be simply perfect for purusing the streets of such a nautical town? Excited. Yes.

Expect posting to be light for a while during my adjustment. I start the new job on Monday (yup, that means back here until the end of May). After that I am back, full force and hopefully better than ever!

Sweet Studs

I am a plain Jane kind of girl when it comes to earrings. I am absolutely loving these sweet little studs from melaniefavreau. It sort of makes me wish I had more than one hole.

I am also totally loving these and these from her Etsy shop. It's tough to choose but bottom line is I am gonna have to purchase some, and debate getting a second hole.

Cords and Cotton Canvas

There are few things more satisfying than a great pair of corduroys. Plain and simple. Now pair those with a timeless bag and some super awesome off character boots and you have quite the look. It doesn't hurt that the retailer is an American icon in itself either. Brilliant.

Something for the Sniffles

So when I think of tissue box covers I automatically think of this really heavy (and really breakable) stained glass, blue and white thing my Mom used to have in our bathroom ages ago. I think it eventually broke, all I know is it did not make its way to our new house my senior year of high school. 

Anyway I have always hated the things. I thought they were just nonsense. Until I found this featured over on Somewhere Splendid. 

And I think it would look just stunning on my nightstand, especially with the DwellStudio for Target bedding we bought after the wedding. 

Yup, I think this cute tissue holder is going to have to be an immediate purchase from Etsy shop, gnomesweeeetgnome.

Too cute!!

Pretty Simple

While I have my over the top moments (ahem, my obsession with ruffles) I adore clean and classic design. It is just timeless. So, when I found these resin and silver pieces from Karla Wheeler Design I went gaga.

Talk about a statement piece. I need to get my hands on that ring in the very top right corner. Love it. They are all so bold and so stunning. This Etsy shop has definitely been added to the favorites.

It's A Guy Thing

Yes, I must admit that for the most part this is a very girly blog. But, it is a personal blog and since I happen to be a girl I find it acceptable. Getting back on track, I found some goodies today that have inspired me to switch it up a little. Jack Spade; clever, cool, classic, stylish. Everything a dream guy should be right? These lovelies are no exception, if only I found some of these before Christmas! The Hub's would have been living large.

Yes! Finally installed my CS5 and am now totally working with PhotoShop. Totally necessary. I think it adds, do you?

I sort of want that orange bag for myself, and the colored pencil set? Yes please! And that cork wallet? Weird but I like it.
