what time is it?

Reaaaally wanting one of these watches, which were first posted about over at The Budget Babe. Merona has a new collection of boyfriend watches at Target for only $14.99. I haven't worn a watch in years, but I feel it's time to take the plunge again!

Yes please, I'll take this one:


And this one:



They remind me of something Marianne from Haven & Homes would love too!

it's so hard, to say goodbye...to yesterday

My dear friend Hannah and new blogger from This is Only the Beginning, sent me an email last night with a lovely surprise inside. A link to Etsy shop The Brass Hussy. LOVELY!! And, I think I will just add these to my ever-growing birthday wish list!

A few of my favorites:

I will be taking off tomorrow, as I am spending the day with my mom before she heads home to Virginia. I've thoroughly enjoyed having her here (Alabama) for the past 3 months, but she misses her husband and home terribly and is quite ready to tend to her garden- I don't blame her one bit. I know they are hard for everyone, but 'goodbyes' are really hard for me. So, I am not looking forward to this one, knowing the next time I get to see her will be sometime in October. aggh. Thank goodness for emails, facebook and phone calls!!

*sorry for the cheesy title of this post... i couldn't resist. i remember listening to that song so many times after a break-up in highschool. It makes me giggle to hear it now.

Have a lovely weekend!

Pleated Petal Tank ANTHROPOLIFICATION GIVEAWAY!!!!

Pleated Petal Tank ANTHROPOLIFICATION GIVEAWAY!!!!

The beautiful and inspiring Kathleen over at Grosgrain is hosting this fabulous giveaway. It seems all too perfect, since there is nothing I love more in the fashion world than anthropologie on a budget! I have been reading her blog for a few months now and she is always hosting wonderful giveaways. Like most of us, she lives on a budget and Anthropologie's prices are a bit steep. She turns thrift store finds into "anthropolification's" at an extremely low price. Her work and talent is truly amazing. Oh, and she also has giveaways from her featured sponsors. I wish I could win them all!





After reading about her post on Tiffany from Muntedkowhai, I knew I NEEDED one of her amazing necklaces. I was going to post a picture of the one I bought, but it must be sold out. It's adorable though! I'm completely happy with my purchase and I received quite a few compliments when I wore it.

Pop on over to her blog, you will instantly fall in love as I did! And enter the contest for your chance to win!

SIDE NOTE: If you have the priveledge, such as I did last night, to go see Wicked... PLEASE do. I love musical theatre so so much. I used to be really invovled when I was in highschool but pursued other dreams in college. Last night sparked such a deep passion in me that had been buried for so long! I won't be quitting my day job or anything, but I do plan on going to as many shows as possible and may get involved with a local community production. My husband's first musical was last night, and he absolutely loved the experience. YAY for me.

Have a great weekend my lovely's! I'm off to the beach for another wedding!

pretty little things

I am in love with Anthropologie's 3-D Nursery jewelry collection. We have quite a few weddings to attend this summer, and I think this necklace would be the perfect accessory for a simple little dress.

The posts will be light this week and possibly next, as I am finishing up my last two weeks of my undergraduate degree at UAB. Finally!
