Take some sound shoe advice from a blogger who has a closet full of lust worthy shoes.

An instagram account that will make you start daydreaming of traveling.

Maybe one day I can have my table set with some of these pretties.

Alright loves it is officially Friday and I am looking forward to a long weekend. I hope to explore Mobile some and perhaps travel to the beach or New Orleans for a day. What are you guys doing for Labor Day? Whatever it is have a fun and safe time.

So as I was going through my photos to type up two recipe posts I found some photos of my trip to Athens and a few more from Savannah. So I thought what better thing to do then give those beauties there own blog post. Behold, below pictures from my beloved alma mater, my dad and I sanding a tree trump and my recent trip to Savannah for fourth of July and of course Danielle's birthday!!

 

Seriously good coffee in downtown Savannah.

 



 

A serious kitchen makeover.

Week long Italian festivities and wedding.

Stunning photos in black and white.

Serious girl power, this is a female to admire.  

Stunning headphones with rose gold accents.

Fancying these copper + mirror trays from West Elm.

Loving this shorts + blazer combo.

 

Might be adding this leopard beauties to my shoe collection soon. Thoughts?

Such a touching video on how animals help people heal.

Have a great weekend!

So radio silence over here for almost a month. I kind of stopped posting, well if I am honest, because I didn't think I or this blog were good enough. I was constantly comparing myself to others out there. Thankfully some good friends of mine convinced me that you have to start somewhere and so that somewhere is here and now. I've read that a blog needs to have a clear purpose, if you want fashion post fashion, food post recipes, travel well travel, but the problem is I am not sure what I want to write about. I really want a way to look back at my life and have a diary of it almost. That includes fashion, DIYs, decorating, food and life in general. So I can't promise xyz, Monday through Friday but I can promise you will always get me.

So to start off, let me update you on where I am currently typing from. As of July 6th I am resident of Mobile FREAKING Alabama. Did I ever imagine myself saying that....hell no, but here I am and I am happy I did it. My job offered me a new position in a more sales like role, it is kind of a trial run for us all. For me to discover if I like sales and for them to determine if they need someone permanently in Mobile. So what do you do when offered a position in Mobile, AL? You say yes, drop head first into it all and try your hardest. That is seriously all you can do.

I drove straight from Savannah, GA where I spent the 4th of July with some friends. Which by the way, if you have never been please put it on your must see list. The city is beautiful and historic and full of real southern charm. I have been a few times and each time I love it more. This time might have been my favorite and one filled with countless memories. Window singing to people at midnight, so much soccer watching, fireworks, Wet Willies, good food and friends.



 

Lately my Pinterest and blog search have been all about home interiors. I noticed that I am constantly drawn to open shelving. Which got me thinking, why don't more people have open shelving? You can display your dishes, unique glasses, fun storage containers and so much more. Below are some of my favorite open shelving finds.

The difference between should and must...incredibly eye opening.

Tray inserts for those who change their mind constantly on décor.


I bought this ring (on a ring binge) the other day and it is set to arrive TODAY!

This had me in tears in 20 seconds; such a touching moment.

A maid of honor rap toast.....quite possibly the best toast ever!

A great round up of fun and fairly easy DIYs from A Beautiful Mess.
