Valentine's

So since it's Friday (YAY and praise the heavens!), I thought I would do a little bit o' fashion Friday.

And since I've been thinking about V-day and date night get-ups, I thought "hey, why not???" And this also means that I need more to fill up my day because I'm making fantasy outfits on Polyvore instead of giving my children baths. TMI? Probably.

And who better to take fashion cues from than the fabulous face of SATC, SJP?

Whoa, that was a lot of initials. 

This little piece of deliciousness has been making the blog rounds:

I would probably do it a little more like this:

Fancy.

And then there's always the skirt option, also fantastic.

 Although, I'm pretty positive I'll be wearing something like this for actual V-Day:

Except for I'll be a person...with this mantra:

It's lookin' pretty, people...

Good thing we're celebrating this weekend, huh? (c:

Happy Weekend, you love fools!

Moody

Do you ever just realize that you are in a COLOR kind of mood?

That's me today...it's been kind of lack-luster 'round these parts lately and I just needed a color kick to the head.

Ahhhhhh...so much better (c:

TGIF (tomorrow, DOH!)

Take courage, it's Wednesday!

Praise the internet powers that be, I'm back on line, HALLELUJAH! Can I get an AMEN?!?

Sorry if I've been MIA...you can thank the internet for that, too )c:

This week has already been a doozy...so I was thinking that some inspiration is in order!

Thanks, Gem Goode, I needed that (c:

And in other inspiring news, Kate Spade is at it again:

Let's face it, the bold stripe has been done *to death*...but darn it if I'm still all googly-eyed in love with it.

And nobody does it better than Kate.

And I'm very glad to see that my precious pink is hanging in there, too (c:

In true Monday fashion, things couldn't just go as planned and before I knew it the internet at our house was out (since yesterday morning, grrrr) and has just now been restored to it's glorious working order.

And of course this is one of the few days that I actually had something *IMPORTANT* to share!

And I figured I should post some of these pictures before the reveal because I think a few peeps thought that because I was posting all about green, that green has something to do with it.

Um, it doesn't.

So to clear things up, here's something that kind-of-not-really-but-is-super-fun has to do with it:

So without (much) further ado...

I have been meaning to do this project *FOREVER*...and when I say "forever", I mean like 3 years. 

Ya. Am I a procrastinator? I'll tell you tomorrow. (c:

But it REALLY needed to be done after a certain genius that shall not be named (um, me) put packing tape over the front of the drawer to keep it shut while we moved (sounded logical) and peeled off the veneer stuff that looked like wood that you find on really fancy-schmancy furniture like that (from Walmart).

I needed to take this eyesore:

To something fun...with a dash of pink...like this:

You can see the pink better in this picture and that the knobs got a shot of gold, too:

And there you have it, something that makes me smile...with pink (c;

So what did you think?

I still can't decide if I want to switch out the knobs or not...

Happy Monday, pink lovin' peeps!

Today is brought to you by the color green

I was going through some of the pictures that knocked my socks off this week and I noticed a theme:

Nope, not the "go green" kind...just GREEN.

Have you ever spelled "green" repeatedly??? It's a really bizarre word. Kind of like "voluptuous" but at least that one is fun to say (c:

Have I mentioned before that I have a really short attention span??? Thankfully it held out long enough to get me through this post...

Green, green, *glorious* GREEN...

Any of you green with envy yet? 

Regardless you party animals, you, have a fabulously colorful weekend (c:

P.S.-

On Monday I'm going to have a project reveal of how I took this lovely piece of work:

...to something that makes me smile every time I see it (c;

Stay tuned!

Eating crow

It's time for a piece of humble pie.

I have not been quiet in my dislike of the styling of the oh-so-popular Toms.

Even sparkly, it's just not happening...

But my cute friend Amy pointed out that they have a new line of ballet flats...and guess what???

They are pretty great.

I know, seriously, I think that almost hurt me to say that I'm in to a pair of Toms...but seriously, look how cute these are!

I think I just died a little inside doing this post...I don't even know who I am anymore!

Anyone else eating some crow about now or are you still drinking the hateraide?

And speaking of hateraide...if you are desperately wanting to do someone a favor and get like all the good karma back that goes with that...you can enter the contest for this gorgeous necklace that I've been drooling over FOREVER by going and "liking" Petal Boutique's FB page and telling them that I sent you!

Um yes, I totally just asked you to help me win a contest. Does it make it any better if I say that I *reaaaaalllly*
love it and will probably never buy it for myself?
No???

Well, maybe your luck is just better than mine and you'll be the lucky winner instead!

Don't worry, if that happens, we'll still be friends. (c:

On my wish list for Valentine's Day:

The Soho Hotel in London.

And why the heck not, huh?

London and staying in a swanky and trendy pink-themed hotel...I say that makes Valentines *magic*.

And who can resist that pink furniture???

Now to find a babysitter...hmmm...that will be tougher than getting the hubbster to agree to this trip!
