I heart Cardis

I adore cardigans. I love how prim and proper they are. I especially love an unexpected touch of charm. No surprise I feel JCrew does this so well. Here are some new JCrew arrivals I am dying over...

Adorable Ruffle trim:

Love this...

Especially in this color:

Sequins? Genius.

Polka Dots+Ruffles= Love

Family time

We spent the day with my family at my parent's house today. Have I ever mentioned how much I love my family. I am the oldest of 5 kids (yes, all blood). They really are my favorite people. :)

Baby Jameson loves his Grampie. I think they look alike here:

Love his little dimple!

This is Lilley dancing to Miley's Party in the U.S.A. She sings nearly every word:

With the Hubs

Didn't come out to great but, here's me and Baby Sis. See the resemblance? She's cuter for sure.

Great day of eating (homemade tacos!), shopping (took little Emmie boot shopping and picked up these in black) and family fun.

Rainy Sunday Outfit

My new F21 dress I picked up yesterday, Opaque brown tights (Spanx), Tan riding boots (Steve Madden)

Wedding

Wendee, my wedding coordinator, the coordinator I assist from time to time, and my friend was married yesterday!!! Not only was it the most beautiful wedding but, it was also such a sweet wedding. So much love surrounds this wonderful couple! Not to mention that her hubby is such a great guy and you could tell he thinks (and he's right) she is the greatest thing in the whole world!

My favorite centerpieces:

My handsome date:

His drink of choice in the Biergarten:

Yummmmmmmy

Lovely place settings:

Umm, Heaven...

With my date:

With the beautiful bride:

First Dance. Check out her amazing dress!

XXI Forever Grand Opening

Forever 21 opened up a new location here in Austin at Barton Creek mall. I braved the tween crowd this morning and came away with some pretty satisfactory finds to add to my fall wardrobe.

Jewels:

Click here to purchase leafy pearl necklace.

LOVE this necklace.

Purchase black version here.

Just a couple of pieces I picked up that didn't break the bank.

Love the print on this top, the button details and the ruffles on the sleeve.

Great boyfriend shirt.

(I plan on having these shorts altered to be a bit shorter, btw)

I pictured them with black tights, heels and a sweet sweater.

Such a great little dress. Can't wait to throw it on with tights and flat boots. Such an easy combo for me to throw together!

Dressing table love.

We've had this Restoration hardware Dressing table/vanity for a few years now and have only just recently had adequate space for it. Decided to bring it in and put it to use! Also, I had been trying to figure out a good way to store/display my fun jewelry. Found this wall hanger at Hobby Lobby for no more than $8. Just right, don't you think?? *First shots with the new cam, btw.*

To complete this dressing area, I would love to find a great stool to re-upholster...thinking zebra, leopard? To be continued...

Happy Birthday to US!

Mother-in-law gift to Grant and I (we share September birthdays) .

Get ready for some professional blogging.

There is some serious happiness in my heart. :)

Now, to learn how to use it...
