If I lived here...

If I lived here, I would be realllllllly organized (if you know me, this is a little difficult).  I'd prefer books and magazines over lap tops and ipads.  Shoes would be more important than all other accessories, if they aren't already, and ball gowns would be abundant.  I'd be a professional dancer specializing in salsa and various other ballroom dances.  I'd travel the world doing competitions, but spend my average days teaching couples for weddings and sport.  My skills would be used often for films, constantly being cast in time period movies and coaching actors on etiquette and technique.   My husband would be my dance partner for our competitions, but spend his days as an architectural designer.  His specialty would be in hotel interiors, but he would spend a lot of time designing our homes in London, New York, and Texas (duh).  We wouldn't have time for our own kids just yet, but we would spend many hours teaching kids in local schools how to dance.  But honestly, most of our time would be spent in our cozy home drinking cappuccinos and watching old movies.   As it should be.

Life in snaps

If you have had a glimpse at my phone, you will see that I have over 1500 pics - yes yes this is true.  Here are some of my recent snaps. 
- Love that Starbucks thought my name was Kathy - that's my mom's name!
- Krys and I at dinner in Napa - pic stolen from Jenny!
- My hand painted shoes from Robyn Daniels
- Rusty refusing to get out of bed, so I made it with him in it
- Did you know that Ed Begley Jr. makes an all-purpose cleaner? Yeah. Me neither
- My first attempt at pink before I went a little bolder...
- Pinot Noir Blanc - pretty good! Now is it supposed to be room temp or cold...
- Mochilato - mochi meets gelato meets gloriousness

Almost, Yes, and Wish List

Today's mix of things include items I bought, tried on but am still debating, or just plain like.  Can you guess which ones are which? Don't care? Yeah, I wouldn't either =)

FYI those Madewell jeans are a million times better on than in the pic.  Just sayin.

Items from Karen Millen, Etsy, JCrew, and Madewell.

SHOUT!

I am so bored. What shall I do with this free time? I know....

the first thing to pop in this lil ole head is.....

A photo montage to the best/worst wedding/bat mitzvah song ever - SHOUT!!!

and might I preface that I do not in fact own this song and am singing it to myself =)

My sisters tried really hard to keep me from getting a brief case, unnecessary braces, and a filing cabinet.....but fake designer glasses, they would not succeed.  

AND SCENE.

Skirt - H&M

T-shirt - Urban Outfitters

Denim button-up - Lucky Brand

Glasses - Paul Smith

Shoes - Sam Edelman

Watch - Storm

Bracelet - Nordstrom

Rings & necklace - Forever 21

Eclectic Pop

I think because I haven't done one of these in such a long time, it was rather easy putting this room together!  This is a great example of how I would decorate my room if there were unlimited funding.  I am huge fan of mixing elements of new, old, rustic, glamour, and color.  The best part is all of the large items are pretty neutral, so you can change out the colors by throwing in new pillows and different room decorations.  Two of my favorite places to find well-priced accessories that are perfect for your color mood swings and seasonal changes are Cost Plus and Pier 1.

Items in this room found at Restoration Hardware, Anthropologie, Mortise & Tenon, Cost Plus, and Jayson Home.

Keepin' it random...

I collect random images of looks, people, photos, editorials, and such.  I've started sharing them with ya'll lately, but this one looks exceptionally random today!  I will attribute that to my rough week and trying to figure out what the next big steps in my life will be.  It's time for something, but I have yet to put my finger on it....

Spring 12 Faves

Here are 12 of my favorite looks from the Spring 12 runway.  I have a ton more, but these are looks that I want to try and emulate starting today....or tomorrow.  I am most definitely on the shiny bandwagon - can't wait until spring for that. Fanny packs, yes as you already know.  Shades of orange, patterned jeans, wild prints, comfy sweaters, leather, and fresh colors are all on the list!

What is on your list??

If I lived here...

If I lived here, this would be my private lounge leading to my room sized closet and fabulous spa bathroom.   I'd spend many hours relaxing in the chaise reading the new books by Stephenie Meyer and J.K. Rowling as all Twilight and Harry Potter obsessed fans would do.  Rusty would get kicked out all the time for dirtying up the lounge, but he'd be happy running outdoors with his two other rescue sisters.  This would primarily be my retreat for studying all of my film scripts because I would be a successful actress.  My break out role would probably be a rom-com, but I would rise to success with the help of my fashion sense and indie films.  Shine, glam, sparkle, and color would describe my glorious wardrobe.  My shoes would be sky high, yet magically comfortable, and I'd live in straight-from-the runway looks.  Standing out in a crowd would not be frightening, but instead exciting.  There would be too many boyfriends to note, and I would still have a good amount of years before the right one came along.  So, girls' night would be weekly with professionals coming over to do manis, pedis, and martinis while we watch the newest yet to be released movies in my movie room.  Life would be full of friends, fashion, glamour, and adventure.  Amazing.
