T by Alexander Wang

You know those days when you just can't bring yourself to put on a single piece of structured clothing? Your so busy around the house with the child and such, that at lunch time your realize your still wearing what you slept in? You get home from a morning of running around and can not wait to take off your blue jeans and put on something cozy?

Sadly my lazy day wardrobe is nothing like the images above. Mostly my drawers are full of overwashed, stretched out, cheaper versions of the above.

If only I could spend $100 dollars on cotton basics, then I would happily live in these tshirts and sweatpants. T by Alexander Wang is the diffusion line by the amazing CFDA designer. He launched it a few years ago including just basics, and progressively introduded more structured pieces and additional pieces to layer over the staple items. Resort 2012 includes color, but for me personally, I like the simplicity of the white, black, nude, and gray!

Anyone own one of these beauties? I would love to know if they are worth it, and reallly as amazing looking on as every magazine and blog claim?

The Practical Encylopedia of Good Decorating and Home Improvement

Wednesday, July 27, 2011

























I have been shuffling things around the house since getting home from the road trip. There is something about a long trip that inspires you to get home and get organized. Anyway, I moved these books from the guest room into the master and set them up on my dresser. Now I see them daily, and I'm excited to dig in and see what kind of inspiration is hidden inside! Thought it might be fun to share........

I got this amazing set of books about a year ago. Dad was sorting through my Memaw's books, deciding who would get what. I jumped for joy when I cracked the first one open. Is it wrong that I would happily move into most of these rooms, as they are?

I am starting at the beginning, the first of eighteen books, section one:
ABC's OF DECORATING
The Basic Guidelines You Need To Start Improving Your Home:

Besides the above amazing images, categories include:
  1. Color
  2. Scale
  3. Style
  4. Pattern and texture
  5. Room arrangement
  6. Floors
  7. Walls
  8. Windows
  9. Fabrics and wall coverings
  10. Lighting

A Merry Mishap

Tuesday, July 26, 2011











So.......

I might be a little obsessed with A Merry Mishap Blog.....

and jewelry!

My Pinterest might be full of images off the blog and from the shop. I might wear my earrings ALL the time, and tell anyone who glances at them exactly where I got them. This might not even be the first of my posts about them (here & here).

I guess I'm just impressed........ how does one make such amazing jewelry out of simple craft store polymer clay? It is the color selection, I think.......Spot on!
