  I have always wanted a chalkboard table but I thought that it was going to be a big project or that it would be impractical or expensive but when my roomate got a new kitchen table for our house I decided to take the plunge! And it was the easiest thing ever. I'm actually kind of upset I didn't do it sooner.  The entire project took about twenty minutes of work time and

A nice Sunday morning read, In Praise of the Undone Beauty Routines of Woody Allen's Female Leads. This is hands down the best homemade tortilla soup recipe I've come across. Botanical print downloads, because why not? Just in case you're as obsessed with faux taxidermy as I am. And, speaking of undone beauty the infamous J.Crew bun deconstructed. Last but not least, 10

I'm kind of on a health kick. I'll admit that it probably won't last too long but I'm determined to make the most of it. Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day (and my favorite) I thought that would be a good place to start. I'll bake in the morning but I'll only make pancakes or dutch babies or muffins. I can't convince myself to bake something healthy so early. So I

Because there's nothing better than a glass of lemonade in the summer 9 Secrets to Amazing Lemonade. I pretty much adore Martha Stewart. If you're looking for a bright, happy DIY project choose this one. I will always, always order tortilla soup at restaurants but this recipe makes me want to try to cook it at home!

After I moved into my new house, I found that I had a lot of empty wall space. I looked at oversized prints and posters but I wasn't happy with the idea of having so many on my walls. So, I started looking for other things to decorate with but I couldn't find anything I really liked. I decided to make something with dimension to add depth and interest.  I came up with a floral wall

  This weekend I went on a road trip with my best friend to Gruene, Texas! We ate delicious pulled pork sandwiches, visited Texas' oldest dance hall and went to a whole bunch of antique shops. We found these gigantic windchimes. Honestly, the picture doesn't even capture how enormous they are, they were probably five feet high.  The drive was gorgeous and we had

It's good to be back! I've survived finals week, moving and traveling home for the holidays! Hopefully things here can go back to normal, at least for a little while!  This weekend my parents and I went on a little road trip to see my sister in Virginia Beach. It was so lovely! I hope you had a wonderful weekend as well! XOXO!

If you read regularly, you've probably noticed that I'm on a little bit of a braiding rampage. This time I experimented with Dutch braiding! This was kind of a fun one, and I got lots of compliments and questions and requests to re-create it! As usual, I watched the tutorial by Luxy Hair (seriously, the best hair tutorials)... Mine definitely didn't come out as perfectly as hers, but for

"Everyone had a Day One. A Day One of their first yoga class, a Day One of their being single again, a Day One at their new job. No matter how weird or self-conscious you feel, any type of Day One you are having, other people have also had and gotten through. And after Day One, usually comes a much easier, less worrisome Day Two." - Molly Ford Seven lies we have to stop telling

  “There’s no such thing as a creative type. I think people need to be reminded that creativity is a verb; a very time-consuming verb. It’s about taking an idea in your head and transforming that idea into something real. And that’s always going to be a long and difficult process. If you’re doing it right, it’s going to feel like work.” -Milton Glaser

Deep, dark lips has been one of the biggest trends on the runways and the red carpet as the weather has gotten cooler. It's definitely a bold statement look. But for all the pictures and posts I've seen about it, I have yet to see a dark lip in person! I think there are two ways to pull this off. First, embrace the vamp-y side of the look and wear a kitten eye and blush. Second, go

Now that Thanksgiving has passed, it's officially time to begin holiday shopping! This is, of course, assuming you didn't brave Black Friday shopping this morning and cross everyone off your list!

I have some exciting news! I'm moving in just a few weeks! I'll be moving into a house and I'm so excited to have a kitchen and do a little bit of decorating! I'm seriously considering making a pallet bed... Has anyone done it? What do you think? Eeeek! I'm super excited!

The weather has finally turned here and I'm looking forward to wearing tights and ankle boots and lots of layers this weekend! I have to (frantically) study Spanish this weekend, but I'm hoping to make a really yummy breakfast tomorrow morning! I've been craving breakfast sandwiches and cocoa all week! And if I can manage to squeeze it in, I've been planning a little art project for quite a

Lately, I've been seeing lots of people (gentleman and ladies!) layering jean jackets. It's a brilliant way to take the chambray look into the colder months! As an added bonus, it's a great way to stay cozy, which is really important if you're anything like me! So, would you try layering a jean jacket? I'd like to give it a try but I'm going to have to play around with the

Cornmeal Ham & Cheese Waffles sound like the perfect way to begin a Sunday morning, and the recipe is from not martha so you know it's incredible!

"Nothing is as potentially disastrous or chic as leopard print and I think we all appreciate that delicate balance." -Rumi Neely I hope you have lots of fun plans for the weekend!

As I mentioned earlier, I'm trying to expand my hair style repertoire. I decided to dip my toes into the fancy braiding styles with the fishtail braid! After watching several tutorials, and taking a deep breath here's how it turned out... Here's what I did... 1. I have stick straight hair, so the day before I wore it in a braid. Then, that night I just barely dampened my hair,

A few months ago there were articles and blog posts everywhere talking about how the majority of people had been using bobby pins wrong. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was skeptical, but I started using them the "right" way, and to be honest its worked better for me! So here's the (so-called) correct way to use bobby pins!

Fall has finally arrived! In celebration of chilly temperatures and falling leaves here are Fall themed weekend links! Granted, I'll drink a cup of cocoa even on the hottest day of the year, but it's a special treat when the temperatures begin to drop. Doesn't Lavender Hot Chocolate seem like a lovely idea?
