heels.

I just picked up these pretties last week and I feel like I need to spread the word on how amazing they are.  I've been pretty much wearing them non-stop and that's a big deal for a girl who rarely wears heels during the day.  The wide heel makes them super comfy and I mean, that print...gorgeous.  So go and get yourself a pair too!

books.

I'm in a book club, which is great and fun, but let's face it...at this point it has pretty much turned into a social club.  A time to meet up with friends and gab.  Which I am NOT complaining about one bit (it's a ton of fun), but I probably should get back to reading a few good books.  Any recommendations?

diy.

I've been meaning to share these photos for awhile now, but it slipped my mind.  oppps!  So, finally, here are some close ups of a few of the diy projects I made for the Enjoy Events workshop.  Making the concrete vases was crazy easy.  I just followed this step-by-step video (and added a coat of gold spray paint to the top).  The hardest part was figuring out how to carry the massive bag of concrete mix from my car up to our apartment.  Note to self, do not buy heavy items from Home Depot when your husband is outta town for work. 

The gold feathers were a little departure from my normal "add gold spray paint to everything" routine.  I bought a gold leafing kit and simply applied it to the tops of the feathers.  I love how much shinier the leafing looks compared to the spray paint I usually use. 

And lastly the geode bottle stoppers.  I found this great shop in the city that sells the geodes for $0.99 and bought some cheap corks from Target (but you can use an old wine bottle cork you have laying around too).  Then I simply super glued them together.  So so so easy and I think they make the cutest gifts.

for the home.

While my shopping lately has consisted of picking up stuff for G's office, of course I've also managed to find a few items for our home too.  I mean, I'm only "window" shopping for our home at this point (it's already feeling a little crowded in here), but these items are making it hard for me to resist their beauty.  I've had my eye on that mirror for what seems like years...isn't it amazing?

overalls for me.

I know I said I was on the fence about this trend, but I picked up a pair of overalls this weekend and I'm in love.  They are so comfy and dare I say, stylish.  I say this trend is a YES!
