Makin' Memories People!

Recently, I noticed these adorable little mushrooms sprouting in
my yard. Now, I have this thing for mushrooms and garden gnomes,
etc, so I decided to make my yard....unique.
Oh, it was unique alright.



I painted our mushrooms! Ha, I wonder what the neighbors were thinking.
I used water color, so the mushrooms would absorb more of the color
and not be so washed out when it rained.

Then, my family decided (to my surprising reluctance) that
they were going to the state fair.
This is where I hung out all night:





The animals were having a....contest?
I think it was the 4-H kinda thing....

Lookin' good ladies! Ha -
wait, or bulls?

This Little Light in Me: Miss Cameron

Sometimes I have my moments, where I feel like
I'm no good, or lost in the crowd.
I do pray,
and sometimes I think of little things,
that make me smile, no matter what.

I will share a few (in no particular order) :D 

1. The memory of my dad (who just so happens to be one of the
most talented musicians in the world....) telling me that I have the "ear" for music.
Not everyone can hear what he can, and he can see that I get it, and not
to forget it's a gift.

2. Mommy hugs or kisses. Or a combo of the two. When I miss her really
bad, I get random whiffs of her perfume.

3. Fresh contact lenses.

4. Talking in movie quotes with my sister.

5. Good surprises, like flowers, or random letters
(or hey! I passed my MacroEcon exam (even tho that hasn't happened yet...))

6. Discovering a new band and thinking "oh my goodness! They're EPIC."

7. When random babies smile at me.

8. My step-dad giving me dating advice.

9. FINISHING an art project. I procrastinate, therefore, STARTING one
takes forever.....

10. And this one will sound a little weird, but the smell of my cat, Binx's paws.
He runs around outside, inside, so they get this musky (but not stinky!) smell.
There's no other smell like it.
Don't judge me, even though everyone still does.

11. And one more (since I run this joint!), when my niece says a cuss word,
but somehow I still get blamed for teaching it to her. Even though I live 500 miles away....


Hehe!

Style Crush.

Ohhhh so I have a good one for you today!

Today is Brigitte Bardot's birthday!
I really have always admired her,
the blonde bombshell she is!



"I am all right when I work. I am not superficial and I am not ungrateful,"




"What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing
wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it."



"I never do anything by chance."



Ah, such an incredible woman.
The style, the hair, ahg!
I found my project for the day.....

Happy Birthday Brig!

Fuel for the Week.

Wooooo!
Monday's are the best when one is on
vacation.
I'm in Georgia again visiting my sister, brother-in-law, and niece.

Kennedi, my niece, has learned a lot of new words and sayings.
Some of my favorite quotes so far have been,
"yeah, I can dance like that," -when watching Michael Jackson videos.
Her new song, "Kitty, oh, Kitty oh oooh oh,"
Not to mention she says please and thank you without being asked now.
:)



But anywho, the rest is for y'all:


Poor Animal by Zola Jesus is the perfect way to bring in the fall weather.





These wallpaper and sticker pieces from Payton Cosell Turner
are so adorable and unique!
She also offters drawings and I'll let you
visit the "other things" section.


I found this video from LEAF on because i'm addicted's site on how
to layer for fall. It takes all the time out of staring at magazine photos!
And if you just type in 'the leaf series' on youtube, you get so much more tutorials,
like jewelry DIY and getting the perfect lip shade.


Happy week to you, and you and you.

Fuel for the Week.

Happy Monday!


The jewelry collection at Fantasy Jewelry Box is
pretty solid. I'm not a big earring person, but for some reason,
I found myself lost on the earring section.....
Oh, and their prices? Even better.



Sessun has to be one of my favorite's. Everything from their
lookbooks, shopping, and ahem -blog!!
By the way, I'm printing this picture and keeping it
by my closet.




Lollapalooza has been over for a while now,
but Elle's website offers a collection of some of the looks
snapped at the fesival. Yes, it's techically Fall now, but here in
Nashville, it won't begin for a few more weeks.
So here's to some late inspiration!






Jason deCaires Taylor is without a doubt one brilliant mind.
I've seen these once before but unfortunately couldn't remember
where or who did this. But at last! I've found him, and not letting him out of sight.
He builds artificial reefs in Mexican waters and their just
witty and beautiful!
Now just imagine you're snorkeling along and....
