Sunless Sunday

So the sun has decided to sleep in today as did I. Sunday is the day of rest so that's just what I did. I've made little plans today. However, the ones I do have I am excited about! I plan to head over to my parent's house where my sisters are staying and eat some delicious lasagna for lunch. Then it is my hope to go to JoAnn's for their Coupon Commotion sale and buy some new craft supplies! I've decided that I am in need of a few essentials... not to mention some adorable fabric that I've had my eye on for awhile! Here's to hoping I get some good deals!

Today is Travis and I's 3 month anniversary of marriage. We have officially been married for 1/4 of a year! Although the past three months have not been without their difficulties, I am still happy that we are married and I get to spend the rest of my life with him!

On a side note, I've been internet browsing and found a few items I love. ENJOY :)

Sheer Beauty Top $90

Wonderful Wednesday


I'm so overjoyed that today is Wednesday! I've grown to love Wednesdays because Travis goes to church with the child he tutors, and I have the whole house to myself! It's great! Though it's only for a short time, I love the alone time. I've always loved spending time by myself. My last semester in college I lived by myself and it was great. Now that I'm married I feel like I share everything 24/7 and it gets a bit frustrating. I have learned not to take these little alone times for granted. It is kind of strange because even when Travis is here it isn't like he is talking or bothering me constantly, but for some reason it is still not the same as having the whole house to myself. Either way, tonight is wonderful :)

In recent news I started a Style Diary. I've always en
joyed looking through the pictures that people post and thought it would be fun. I checked my messages yesterday and saw that I was featured in their "Street Style" section. It was slightly flattering since I never even knew such a thing existed. I love piecing new outfits together so it's fun to share them and gain inspiration from other's ensembles as well!
You can check out the My Style Diary site for yourself HERE!


You need to check out Ruffles and Roses' Flower Ruffle Tank tutorial! She is so creative and crafty! Check it out and maybe learn something new! There are two parts to this tutorial. The first part teaches you how to make the shirt. The second part shows you how to add the ruffle flowers to it. Both are very interesting!

I've been on the look out for new projects and these are the things I desperately want to make sometime soon:

1: This Bohemian Vest (#3) from Burda Style is sooo cute! I want one!

^ this is the one I want to make!


2: A reusable lunch bag that I can take to work:
Maybe something like this:


3: An owl pillow like these from ginia18! SO cute!


4: A ruffle vest like this one from shopruche.com

5: A flower pillow from Martha Stewart & a ruffle pillow like the one below from Pier 1

Recent Inspirations


This past week I have been in the worst "Shopping Mode". I went out with my friend, Erika, last weekend and unapologetically spent way too much money on clothing and accessories. In my defense I did find some amazing deals. We went to Gabriel Brothers, which is a store that carries designer clothing at cheaper prices. It is similar to a T.J. Maxx in many ways, but you really have to weed through their racks to find great items. Then we also went to Forever 21 and Target. I probably spent around $150, but got around 20 or so new items... including: 2 cardigans, 2 tanks, 5 bracelets, 1 pair of earrings, 3 tops, a leather jacket, 1 necklace, 1 pair of jeans, 2 camis, and a new picture frame. I then went out with my mom and bought 2 yards of new fabric, some cute upholstery fabric to make a pillow, and a remnant to make floral broaches. It was a very successful weekend in terms of shopping, but not so successful in terms of saving. When will I ever learn? Needless to say, it was fun and frivolous and definitely worth it! Here are a few more things I'm loving right now:



I am absolutely in love with practically everything in Ruche's current lookbook! You can view it at shopruche.com. Here are a few of the looks and pieces I love right now!

Bow and Stripes Cadette Sweater $36.99


Undying Devotion Floral Top $30.99

Weaving Around Town Purse $54.99


My Everyday Adventure Bag $38.99




I found these cute pears through Google... they could be used as pin cushions or just as decorations. Either way, they are so cute!

I have already made 4 of these adorable birds! I made one to use as a pin cushion since I had nowhere to put my pins.



I want to make some into a mobile like this one:


I love how they used sticks to hang them! What a great idea!

The pattern for these birds can be found HERE! at Spool Sewing's blog!

This would be an extremely easy project:

Here is a free pattern explaining how to make these Frayed Rosettes by Jennifer Paganelli! Just click HERE!
I think given the right fabric, they would look beautiful on necklaces!


I just watched The Back Up Plan and loved these two outfits that Jennifer Lopez wore:

Obviously I would want one that is not found in the maternity section! I bet I could make this! Or maybe I am just feeling too ambitious!

I love her dress! The rosettes are so cute along the shoulder. I would love one in a red-orange/ coral color, though.
