It's a Framer

A co-worker of mine just renewed her vows for her 10 year wedding anniversary!  SO SWEET! We were talking about what to do with her pictures and I suggested a wall collage of some sort.  I love the look of all different sized/types of frames and memories and making it looked pieced together over time.  However, that can get pricey if you go and buy one frame at a time.  So - you cheat.  Through ETSY.  I LOVE ETSY. 

Shabby Chic Frame Collection - Etsy shop EightSix56 $130

I'd probably mix the shabby chic with some rustic wood or even gold frames to really make it look built over time...



Vintage Wood Frames set of 7 - Etsy shop tawneyvintage $45

 



10 Hollywood Regency Gold Brass Frames - Etsy shop CalmCoolCollectedVin $68

 

Or - hit up Goodwill and just grab a bunch of frames - don't overthink it!  Throw in a mirror or small piece of art here and there - and Voila!

Casual Thursday

Luckily, my employer is awesome and every day is casual Friday.  We are allowed to wear jeans EVERY DAY which is absolutely incredible.  I try and sport my old work clothes so I get some wear out of them but I hardly ever do.  I never want to get fancy - at least not in boring work clothes. 

 

This morning, after a fun night in Decatur watching my bro-in-law at Eddie's Attic, I felt like going super casual.  This is an OLD gap skirt, chambray top from Kohl's and my BEST purchase this year - Ralph Lauren NUDE wedges.  I now wear these daily - they can be dressed up or down and come in a wide range of colors.  LOVE.  They are very comfy and make my legs feel long. 

 

This is normally more than I spend on shoes - but I did say in my first blog I would splurge when necessary.  NECESSARY.

 

Ralph Lauren Indigo Wedge Sandal - $69

 

Here are a few pics from last night:

 

Happy Birthday John!  Great job!

Check him out!

My brother-in-law, John Thrasher, left his career in accounting several years ago to pursue a music career.  I am so impressed by, and often envious of, those that follow their dreams and passions no matter what.  John is doing great and is headlining at Eddie's Attic tomorrow night, 6/5!  He released his first record about a year ago and more to come!  We are really proud of him.  Michael and I have a sitter tomorrow night so we get to go to dinner in Decatur with another couple and listen to some good tunes.  Care to join us??

Sam & Libby...

For Target!  What a GREAT pairing!  I have been on the lookout for some gladiator sandals (but not too clunky) and LOVED these!  They are comfy too.

Sam & Libby Kayla Gladiator Sandal - $27.99

I loved these below as well!  However, shoes that go up the ankle are a little tougher to wear - be careful there.  They can cut you off and make your legs look shorter.  The nude color helps though!

Deal of the Day

More shorts - they LOOK J-Crew but are $15!  Check out all the patterns!

I bought the navy but love the coral with anchors also!  ENJOY!
