Favorite: Statement Necklace Edition

HER

It is no surprise that I love accessories.  Bags, shoes, jewelry, I love them all.  It is hard for me to pass them up, especially statement necklaces.  I love anything that makes a statement.

An outfit can come to life with a great necklace.  Sometimes I feel like I am not complete without one.  Good thing there are so many great necklaces out there in the wonderful world of retail.

Here are a few of my favorites:

1. Tortoiseshell Long Tizzy Necklace- 

Love this piece in the summer time.  Goes great with a striped dress.  

Found: South Moon Under

2.  Coral Flower Necklace-  

Love the colors.  It is such a great look and I can't wait to wear it paired with white jeans and a chambray shirt.

6.  J.Crew Factory Stone Shapes Necklace-

Top 5: Books

HER

I love to get comfortable and read a good book.  There is nothing like getting lost in a book or finding that great page turner.  It can be hard to find that book that keeps you up at night turning the pages.  I am lucky enough to have found some of the best books.

Top 5 Books

1. Into The Darkest Corner

By: Elizabeth Haynes
This was a page turner.  I read this book so fast, I was sad when I read the last page.

2. Never Knowing

By: Chevy Stevens

Talk about twist and turns.

3. Still Missing

By: Chevy Stevens

Another good one.  This one kept me reading into the night.

4. Them Bones

Sarah Booth Delaney

By: Carolyn Haines

 Best little mysteries from Mississippi.  So cute!  Great beach read.

5.  Orange Is The New Black
By: Piper Kerman
Alittle look inside as an inmate.

There are so many great books out there and I wish I could find more time to read.  I have a whole list of books I want to read next.
Good thing summer is slowly coming.  That is when I get the most reading done.

Do you have any good books to recommend?
I would love to hear about them!

  

Hooray! First Day of Spring

EVENTS

I am so excited to say today is the first day of Spring!  Can you believe Spring still exists after the winter we have had?

With the weather hopefully changing, I plan on getting some things started.  

(It is so much easier when it stays light out)

So Spring takes us up until June 21st (the first day of summer).  That is plenty of time to do my Spring events.

-Spring Cleaning: Yes, time for me to organize and go through the winter clothes.   Good Will here I come.  I want to clean out the winter and make room for the Spring and Summer.

-Plan a Trip to South Carolina: I NEED this trip after all this snow.  I can't wait to get down there and see that blue sky and those beautiful Palmetto trees. And to be honest, I just need to get to the beach.

-New York, New York: Please! Now this may be something that will get pushed to the summer list, but here is to wishful thinking.  I can't wait to get back to New York.  I love walking around the city.

-Bake: I want to take one day to bake with my good friend.  I think cupcakes are on the list and maybe something new.

Last time we made chocolate chip cupcakes with buttercream icing, so good!

Hopefully Spring weather is upon us, I can't wait to do things on my list.  There really is something to that staying light out later.

I hope to get to my cleaning, trip planning, and baking soon!

What do you have planned for Spring?

Planning on doing some cleaning?

Decorate While Organizing: Hair Brush

HOME

It is no secret that I love to decorate and organize and when I can do both together, it is perfect.  If you are anything like me, you also have multiple hair brushes and they need a home.  

I used to have them all in my top drawer in my room, but I wanted to do something different.  I could use the drawer space, which is for sure!

So when I found this wonderful glass container I figured I would see what I could come up with.

Love it!  I am so happy I was able to put it to use.  I think it turned out nicely and it now sits on top of my dresser.  

What do you think?

Do you have any good organizing ideas?
