Home Inspiration


Screen doors can look a little tacky but they are oh so functional.  This is a screen door I could live with...I love the pups looking out the bottom of the screen too!


I like this vanity for a guest room where you wouldn't heed a lot of storage space.


Best idea...built in shelves in the shower, so much better than the ones that hang over the shower head and always fall down!

Look I Love

Watch out I'm on a blogging roll!


I love this outfit.  I'm realizing I need to majorly adjust my style to fit in here in Black Mountain.  Mostly because its too cold for bare legs (even in the summer time) so that pretty much rules out all my dresses.  Bummer.  This outfit looks fun and easy and would be perf for going out!

Let's start at the top...messy side braid and simple teardrop earrings.

Neon cardi - if I were going to try the neon trend this would be the way I'd do it since cardigans are so traditional...plus its long and is on sale for $30.  Black cami - already have one in my closet!  Turquoise horn shaped necklace....YES!  I think I saw one similar to it at Minx the other day!  She's also wearing a really cool bracelet...go to the blog for the link where you can buy it:

Jeans - look, the small cuff...I must try this look.  Chunky wedges...NEED.  I have been searching for the perf pair forever...they're an easy way to look dressed up without being too fancy! 


Minx


Minx is one of my fav new boutiques I've discovered in Asheville.  Its become my go to place to shop now that the closest Anthro is 1.5 - 2 hours away.

This outfit caught my eye because it looks relaxed but put together and I think I could create it using pieces I already have in my closet.

Silk top - don't I have something like that from Anthro or Madewell?

Dark skinny jeans - check.  and I love the small cuff/rolling

Flats - I might try substituting Toms or Mocs.

Here is their website if you want to check it out: Minx

The post outfits daily for inspiration and if you want me to go pick something up for you I'd be happy to do some personal shopping on your behalf!

You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman


I love this girl's natural looking waves.  I've mastered curling my hair with a flat iron (and it last much longer than it does with a curling iron or rollers) so I just might have to give this look a try!

Come on Baby Light My Fire


Love. Love. Love this lakeside fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs!

Anthropologie Items of the Week


Perf for work or play..and polka dots are always so fun!


The skirt.  Its not bulky and can be worn with my chambray shirt.


I know this one is a little out there but I think it could be fun for winter with tights or leggings.  Give it wow factor by pairing it with colorful accessories!

DIY Storage

About a year ago I came across these storage crates on Serena and Lily's website.  I love everything about them except the price ($88 - $118).

Recently a girl I used to do Young Life with posted these pics of a storage crate her husband had made from pallets for their garage.


I love the hardware and immediately thought it would be perf for our deck...I'm hoping maybe Alex can get one built the next time his dad comes to visit us!


It also made me wonder if I couldn't just find a cool wine box in the liquor store's trash, add casters to it and have my own Serena and Lily style storage crate for next to nothing!
