You either love it or you hate it….

A friend told me a while ago that i should put my home pics on “rate my space”. If you don’t know about it, it’s part of hgtv.com.

Well, I did and the response has been overwhelming! People can rate my rooms, one by one, and give suggestions, or just say they “love” it, or sometimes even “hate” it.

I haven’t posted pictures of my kitchen yet, because of my entire house, it’s the only room that doesn’t flow.

Cherry cabinets, black quartz counters, black appliances. To some of you, you would scream for joy to have that, but for me…….it doesn’t flow with my “cottage” palate. The cabinet in the pic above sits in my kitchen amidst the black and cherry. She’s like a poor soul of white swimming alone!

This is the room that has gotten the most “what the heck were you thinking” comments! Now, of course, i love my bedroom. To me, it walked right out of Anthro and parked in my master. BUT, some people don’t get the creative aspect, and chew it to pieces and then spit it out. I mean really, who would put vintage sheet music on their walls? ME, that’s who! Read about it HERE.


And here is my bathroom. It not only is the master bathroom, it’s shared by Lola as well. The walls are hand painted stripes of Red and purple, with a gold stripe going down the middle. I call it French twist, read about it HERE.

As you can see, some people love what i’ve done and some not so much.

diary of a girl….

I want to introduce you to Alix, she is the author my favorite fashion blog The Cherry Blossom Girl. It was because of her that I even started a fashion blog in the first place. “huh”, you say. Yes, I had a fashiony type blog, but it was just not going where i wanted it to. Some of you knew of it, most of you didn’t. Well, it’s gone. done. I’ve gotten some emails this last week, wondering……”where did it go”???? Well, it’s moved here, to my first and foremost blog. I am the author, i can do what i want. Why can’t I mix fashion with shop, and style and family……? I can! Yes, i can.

The great thing about fashion, is it’s addictive. You can pull it off. Yes, even with a small amount to spend, it can be done. You’ll see!

I even found my friend Rebekah posing for the camera!

Hello Rebekah! Rebekah has the blog Littlebyrd, and I love this girl. We decided that we are heading to France and with her love of vintage combined with style, and my love of style combined with vintage, it’s going to be one fabulous trip. We even thought that if we could get a magazine to sponsor the trip for us, we could blog about the whole thing, and also write a nice little feature for the magazine.

COUNTRY LIVING MAGAZINE…..PLEASE EMAIL ME IF THAT SOUNDS GOOD!
{i will hold off on all other offers till i hear from you}

Okay girls, the next few photo’s are of me. yes, me. Now I’m not going to lie and say that I don’t like being photographed, because I do. It’s fun. I love style. I love to show you style. I love clothes. cute clothes…
and if other girls can do it, why shouldn’t I?

{this little dress I have on below was from the gap, clearenced at $24 late summer.} Oh, and the birdcage necklace…….right HERE.


{ and this one below is not because the paparazzi was following me, HA! It was for a post on my old fashiony blog. Gosh, i do love that hat! Bday gift from the hubby, and he knows me so well…}


{The skirt above is from my dear friend Christina’s shop Sage Creek. It’s a local shop here in town.} Oh, and the hat again, did i tell you that i love that hat?

I’m going to finish up here by saying that the shoes above are from Target of all places, and on sale for a whopping $18, and if that’s not a good deal, they were completely clearanced 2 weeks ago for $8!!!!
So, there you go girls, the diary of a girl, who loves style, and of course her hat.

life is beautiful…

I can hardly stand it. This has got to be one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen.

As moms, we all think our own babies are beautiful, but there are babies who just exude that.

Welcome home baby Wren, it was a pleasure doing your first photo shoot.
