Fall Wardrobe

It's my goal to do very minimal clothing shopping while we're here in Alabama.  In fact, I'm only allowing myself to purchase two items (more on that in a minute).  I think it will be fun challenge to mix and match the items that I packed in my suitcase to create new outfits.  However, before my "no shopping" challenge began, I knew there were a few items that needed to be replaced.

One of those was a pair of neutral flats.  I love my flats in the fall.  So much so, that my previous ones bit the dust from extensive wear.  These are the new ones I've purchased.  They received good reviews (a necessity when I shop), and I think their nude color will serve me well with a multitude of outfits.  I can't wait for them to come in!

While shopping for the flats, I found this top (it's a vicious cycle).  I love poet tops.  Like the flats, these are also very versatile to mix and match, and I love the ones I currently own.  Plus I figure I can never have too many red shirts during Alabama football season :)  This top is also available in white for those interested.  Both of these items were ordered from Piperlime.  I love shopping at Piperlime because they always offer free shipping and free returns just in case your items don't work out. (And they have cute packaging).

As I mentioned before, there are two other items I've given myself permission to purchase should I find ones I like- a pair of leopard flats (I used my others ones until I wore a hole in the bottom) and a navy blazer.  I think they will both be great additions to what I already own.

You guys will have to hold me accountable on my shopping...or lack thereof.  I'm ready for the challenge and may even post some of my outfits as the weeks go by.  Here goes nothing...

Have a great day Labor Day weekend.  I know I will.  I'm ready to go cheer on the Tide!

Our Living Room Mood Board

Our living room is slowly but surely coming together.  The biggest To Do's are ordering a new media console, painting the room (which is unfortunately open to the dining room, kitchen, office and breakfast area which means lots of painting to be done!), order a few lamps and a console for the long wall behind the couch. I realize I haven't shared any pictures of our "new" house (we moved in at the end of last October) with you guys.  So here's a glimpse of the living room before we moved in. This is what you see when you walk in the front door.  The dining room is on the left, the living room is straight ahead and the office on the right. A closer look at the living room.  Florida loves their plant ledges...I do not.  You win some.  You lose some.  I also want to replace the tile around the fireplace.   A view from the back of the living room looking toward the front corner of the house. The room behind the half green wall is the o...

Vintage Western Couples Shower

Last week I helped host a couples shower for our friends Colin and Maranda who are getting married in January. The overall idea was to create a vintage, western feel perfect for fall.  Maranda initially wanted to have an autumn wedding but the timeline wasn't right, so this was our slight nod to a festive, fall soiree.  Along with my own ideas, I also took to Pinterest (my new drug) and party sites like Hostess with the Mostess to get inspiration.  The largest inspiration was from this party on hwtm.com.  It had so many cute ideas that I had to steal borrow a few of them and add my own little twist to them.  The final outcome led to this: Here's a front view (everything wasn't quite out yet, but I wanted to show you this angle). I painted canvas with Colin and Maranda's silhouettes to anchor the center of the table and hung cafe lights (from my wedding) to light the backdrop (a striped bed sheet). Old wooden boxes from my great uncle's barn in...

Up Up And Away- Take Two (And Three)

We took our second family flight this past June.  We took the earliest flight out so we had to wake up at 4:00am to get everything ready.  I had all of the girls' stuff ready and laid out so we only woke them five minutes before we left at 5:00 am.  Rollins is our late sleeper so I thought she would for sure fall back asleep in the car on the way to the airport.  Nope.  Auden, who is typically my early riser (with the sunrise), fell asleep instead.  I guess Rollins knew something was up and was too excited to miss anything.  She didn't fall asleep until we were 10 minutes from our friends' house in Dallas.  Meanwhile, Auden fell asleep again on the plane.  Proof that you can never predict what toddlers will do during travel days.   Auden loved getting to use her new suitcase and travel backpack (that daddy so graciously attached to his luggage for her).  We got quite a few comments from those ...
