On The Hunt: Casual Maxi Dress

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:53:00 +0000

Who: Sweet reader Kristen

What: A dress comaprable to this one:

Source: shopbop.com via Kristen on Pinterest

How: Under $50, in black or gray with long or short sleeves.

Okay Kristen, I have to say your challenge has been the hardest so far. I searched and searched, using all my secret resources and sorcery and still couldn't find a good match. I fear I have failed you my dear. But to not leave you totally hanging, here are three that just may work.

Now, unfortunately these are all short dresses, but with Spring and summer coming I thought perhaps you would consider them. They all have short to mid length sleeves, and the tie at the waist. That was the detail that made it so hard to find something similar to the inspiration dress.

Left: DKNY Washed Crepe Dress, $35

Middle: Lovposh Darby Shirtdress, $15 on sale- holy bargain!!

Right: Three Dots 1/2 sleeve dress, $40

Now I am asking you, fellow readers, to please help me and Kristen out. If you happen to find anything similar to what she is looking for, leave me a link in the comments or send me an email. Because I am officially on a never-ending mission to find the perfect option! I will not rest until Kristen is sporting herself the perfect casual maxi dress!

If you are interested in participating in "On The Hunt", please read full instructions here. I would love to help you out!

A Sweet Sixth Bday

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:00:00 +0000

My daughter Natalie turned six at the end of last month, and I am still in denial that I have a child of that age. Time keeps on slippin' into the future man. I'm not having the best time processing it all either. Just not ready to let go of baby and toddlerhood.

Big time six-year-old!

My husband brought out a pic of her from when she was a day old at the hospital. Way to really get a mom all misty-eyed.

These cupcakes were too cute to pass up at the grocery store.

But her major wish on the cake-front was this Belle one, so I did not let her down. Later we went to the theater to watch Beauty & The Beast; brought it full circle.

The girlies. And yes, when I can, I get them matching outfits. I can't help myself.

Umm, she is almost to my shoulders people.

Poms are my new fave to decorate with!

My mom brought the prettiest wrapping paper. I have since saved, ironed and framed the hummingbirds thankyouverymuch.

Happy Valentine's Day! Go hug someone you love real tight.

Monday Morning {P}Inspirations

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 12:00:00 +0000

Well, we spent another weekend "unplugged". No internets for me. It makes me realize just how addicted to it I really am. And I find that ridiculous. And I think to myself "shame on you!". And then Monday morning I hurry out to the computer in the morning to devour whatever it is I "missed". Only to find that I didn't really miss much of anything, so what was all the fuss about? Hmm.

So what I did do a lot of this weekend is work out in the yard. It is warm here folks, unseasonably warm. I'm talking birds are out chirpin and bees are out buzzin. Has me dreaming of glorious outdoor spaces like the ones below. Enjoy.

Interior Infatuation: Sonoma Charmer

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:00:00 +0000

My post title totally sounded like a real estate ad, didn't it? So here I am again posting another charming little country home as my latest interior infatuation. I'm such a one-trick pony lately. Or to spin it positively I just know what I like.

Have you guys been watching the Bachelor? If not, a quick background: homeboy is from Sonoma, so they had some of the first dates there, and I swear Sonoma must have paid him for each time he said the town name. He pretty much said "This is my hometown of Sonoma, which is very near and dear to my heart" about 50 times in one episode. I'm all for hometown spirit, and Sonoma gives you plenty of reasons to love it, but come on!! The fifth grader inside me yelled at the screen "If you love it so much, why don't you marry it?!?" At least it would save him the trouble of weeding through loads of annoying women and one doomed-from-the start engagement.

Wait-what was the point of this post again? Oh yeah, this little charmer:

I love the background story to this home: the couple were living in Seattle 8 years ago, and wanting a change thought to themselves "Where do we want to end up in the future?" Their answer was Sonoma, so they decided "Why wait?" and set out hunting for a new home there. The one they found was this one, which was once a cookshack and pretty much in shambles. I love, love LOVE when someone has the vision and resources to spruce something up and just goes for it. The icing on the cake is that this home is located only a few blocks from downtown Sonoma, which is one of the most idyllic, quaint little town squares I have ever had the fortune of meandering. It is very near and dear to my heart... have I heard that somewhere before?

Work It Wednesday: Gap Cropped Denim Parka

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:00:00 +0000

I love a good ol' All-American denim jacket just like every other girl-next-door, but unfortunately they just do not look right on me. I've tried them because I desperately wanted one to work, but something about it just doesn't. The boxy shape and collar make me look more like the boy-next-door. Maybe if I had bigger boobs. Who knows. Now that I shared my denim jacket life story, let me share with you a new style of denim jacket I am (strangely?) crushing on: the cropped denim parka from Gap. I think this just may work on me folks. Here's why: the denim looks softer and slouchier ( no more box syndrome), and there is no collar (no more I-look-awful-in-collars syndrome). I'm heading to my local Gap tomorrow with my 40% off coupon in hand to see if it will work in practice and not just in theory. And since I like to jump the gun, here are three ways I would wear it if I had it:

parka

sunglasses, tee, oxfords, pants, bangles

parka

scarf, dress, sandals, bag, bracelets

parka

earrings, top, shoes, pants, bracelet

On The Hunt for Laura: Red Flats

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:00:00 +0000

Who: Reader Laura

What: Red Flats

How: To wear with jeans, skirts, pants, etc.

Since Laura wants to find a cute pair of red flats that can go with a variety of outfits, I picked options that were in materials that would work day-to-night. If you go too casual (i.e. more of a sneaker or TOMS style) they wouldn't be as versatile. Here are my picks:

Top: Wanted, $40

My Pick: These are more of an orangey-red, but I absolutely adore these. Express, $35 (See how I used them in an outfit here).

Middle: Vince Camuto, $98

Bottom: Blowfish, $40

Top Left: BC Footwear, $45

Top Right: Me Too, $55

Bottom Left: Sperry, $90

Bottom Right: Rocket dog, $35

Hope that helps Laura!!

Monday Morning {P}Inspirations

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:46:00 +0000

We had a very productive weekend here at the house. Cleaned out the garage and put up a medicine cabinet in the bathroom. We went on a wild goose chase to get the medicine cabinet I wanted-4 stores later we finally got the last one that was in stock of what I wanted. Only to come home, open it gleefully and then find it broken. Boo. So we returned it and got a more boring one instead (you should know the extent of my crazy-the only thing different was the knob, but seriously a knob can make or break the whole darn thing!!). We also tried out a new policy that my husband instated-no technology (ie-internet, instagram, etc) on the weekends. We tried it out on Sunday and I must say it was a nice break-I may have cheated a little with instagram though. Baby steps. So from now on I won't be "around" on the weekends. And that feels really quite nice. How did your weekend shape up?

DIY Floral Antlers

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:00:00 +0000

Last year I found these antlers at an antique fair for $20. I'd been wanting a pair for many many moons and was happy to find such a great deal. I knew I wanted to give them a face-lift though. The tacky forest green velvet and dark wood-grain plaque weren't workin for me.

I put it on the back burner for awhile, but pondered on what I would do to spruce it up.

Then one day it clicked. I took inspiration from one of my favorite photographers, Kari Herer:

This has long been one of my favorite prints of hers.

Here is how I re-interpreted it for my own:

This could not have been easier. I simply covered the antlers with plastic bags (I used Target ones-they are nice and thick and never have holes!), taping them tightly around the base so no spray paint would get leak through. Next I spray painted the base plaque with several coats of white glossy spray paint.

I found a big giant flower at Joanne's for $5, cut off the stem with scissors, and hot glued it right on top of the green velvet. I was worried about it not adhering well, but so far so good!

A super simple project that costs next to nothing. Let me know if you try it out for yourself!

Creative Spark: Todd Oldham/Target Collab: Kid Made Modern

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:00:00 +0000

So beyond stoked for this Target collab to come May 20th: Kid Made Modern by Todd Oldham. It's basically the coolest craft supplies ever known to man. In my opinion, anyway. Move over kids, I want some of this for myself too!

The line follows his book of the same name, which is filled with lots of great projects for kids.

Aren't the spoon friends adorbs? A super simple and fun craft.

If you get a chance, check out the video with Todd showcasing many of the products that are going to be available. The way he describes all his products is so cute. You can tell he is really proud. I have my eye on the "Moon Rock" jewelry kit, some of the jumbo crayons, duct tape and comic book kit. Can't wait to buy a load of goodies for the girls and get crafting!

Get the Otomi Textile Look For Less!

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:11:00 +0000

I posted for my love for otomi textiles previously here, and last night my jaw literally dropped when I found otomi-inspired fabric by the yard via pinterest. Oh happy day!!

Otami textiles run upwards of $200+ , but this fabric only costs $18/yard!

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:50:00 +0000

Just a few things I'm eyeing lately...to click "buy" or not??

Heart ring-so adorable. Love the peach & gold, and pretty much the most fun you can get for $1.50.

Cropped chinos- great color, the only problem is there are no back pockets. And my ghetto booty can't handle no back pockets.

Polka dot messenger-I have fallen hard for this!!

Studded shoes-the cheaper version of my beloved Sam Edelman's.

Tufted dots sweater-the little fringe is so fun!

Hippo earrings- I don;t know what it is, but I have a thing for quirky little animal earrings. Betsey Johnson makes the best. Orange hippos? Sold!

On The Hunt for Jessica: Work Bag

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 12:00:00 +0000

Who: Reader Jessica

What: New work bag

Why: Needs one to help her stay more organized

How: Satchel style, preferably with separate compartments, no top zipper (for easier access), and can be worn on shoulder. Must look professional and classic, and work well in all seasons. Under $150.

Thanks for writing in Jessica! There were loads of options out there to weed through, and I think

I have found a few that will work well according to your specifications.

Since it needs to work well with a variety of outfits, as well as work across seasons, I suggest sticking with a basic black or brown/tan bag. These will work all year round and will go with virtually any outfit. And yes, I think you can mix a black bag with brown shoes, clothing/ vice-versa.

Top: Radley London Cambridge Satchel $ 138

Bottom left: Etienne Aigner Brooke Leather Flap $110

Bottom right: Jessica Simpson Lafeyette Flap $71

Top: BCBG Satchel Bag $150

Bottom Left (this comes with a shoulder strap): Co-Lab Satchel $96

Bottom right: Aldo Lafredo $55

Top: Rampage Chase $78

Bottom left: Ivanka Trump Alexandrite Flap $120

Bottom right: Aldo Satchel $55

All of the websites show additional views of the bags, including the inside, so make sure you click through to check them out. Many also come in additional colors that you can choose from.

I hope this helps!!

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

So you know I've been lovin on the loafers lately, they are my go-to flats in all my outfit posts. For fall and winter leopard was my fave, but looking ahead to spring I feel a more colorful option is a fun choice.

red

sky

magenta

Which color is your fave? For me it's a toss up between the mint, cobalt and pink!

Ebook Review: Design Demystified by Maggie Rose Interiors + Special Bonus Offer!

noreply@blogger.com (Jackie) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:00:00 +0000

My dear friend Maggie of Maggie Rose Interiors just released a new ebook this week titled "Design Demystified", and let me tell you, it absolutely lives up to it's name! I am so excited to share this with you guys because I know you will love it, and it will become something that you can turn to again and again when making design decisions for your home.

In the ebook Maggie shares over 90 tips in these main areas of design:

Furniture

Space Planning

Textiles

Layering

Details

Her attention to detail is what really blew me away with all these tips. Where as I see a room and think, "Now that's a pretty room", Maggie sees and identifies all the details that help make the room look so pretty in the first place.

For example, I see a zebra rug in a room and think "that looks good there". In "Design Demystified" Maggie gives us the design background as to why it looks good there:

Now it makes much more sense and I would know how and where to use one properly in my space. You can only imagine the nuggets of wisdom she imparts with over 90 individual tips (14 pages) like this!

Another thing that I found useful about the ebook is that the majority of the tips can be applied to your home right away, without having to buy anything new! I plan on pouring over them again this weekend and putting more than a few into place in my own home.

You can get your copy of "Design Demystified" right here, available for immediate download, for only $14. As a bonus, the first 5 readers to order a copy will be sent a free copy of Maggie's first ebook "101 Things to Put In Apothecary Jars". Simply enter "Sweetie Pie Style" in the notes to seller section when checking out on Paypal and Maggie will send it your way.

As Maggie says in her ebook, "Design doesn't have to be a mystery...so happy decorating!"
