Pillow Palooza

It's about that time. Time to start accessorizing. I'm still on a spending halt after the holidays so it might not be until March until I actually get a chance to buy, but that doesn't mean that a girl can't make her list. 

Besides a rug for the Living Room, I really want a few throw pillows for the Living room sofa. Bargain prices is the key here!

Here is a look at the room thus far:

Here is my naked couch that needs some love:

And here are a few ideas I have for some fun pillows:

Etsy

Ballard Design

Hable Construction

Fabricadabra

Luxury Monograms

Now wouldn't this be MUCH better?

Have a wonderful week!!

Wedding Wednesday: Lovely Lighing

A few months ago I posted pictures of brides in front of beautiful windows. Well, take a look at this entire series of one brides getting ready in front of a large window:

 Isn't the lighting just stunning? I LOVE black and white photos!! These just make me want to put on my dress and spin around the room for a while. So lovely!!

Credenza of the Week

This may be one of my favorite credenzas I have seen yet. First of all, it's mirrored which I love. But I am also geeking out over these beautiful lucite lamps and the beautiful urns and greenery displayed on the bottom shelf. The symmetry of the accessories is lovely and the femininity of the entire look is just right. Gorgeous!

Chandelier for Every Room: Dining Rooms

Ok, here goes. More lovely chandeliers in a place they are traditionally known to be...the Dining Room:

Don't you want to have a fabulous dinner party now?
It makes me yearn for a new fixture for our dining room! More on that sometime soon...Have a great day!

Makeup Must Haves

Here are a few things that I cannot live without when it comes to my morning routine:

The Best Eye MakeUp Remover (available at CVS):

Bobbi Brown MakeUp Brush Cleaner

It's a 10 (available at grocery stores) is absolutely necessary for styling your hair. It detangles, de-frizzes and shines.

Baby Lips Moisturizer (so fun and so many great colors!) available at drugstores or Target:

Cute hair ties (way better than a rubber band around your wrist) available at PerriBerri, Blue Elephant and Pure Barre here in Austin or online at Emi Jay.

Do you have any favorites that you just could not live without? Let me know :) I'm always looking to update my makeup bag. Enjoy the week!

Artist Spotlight: Wolfe Birds

Ask anyone from Mississippi and they will be able to tell you about Wolfe birds. In fact, most girls probably have one in their home on a bookshelf or perched on a little side table. 

I have a little collection of my own as does my Mom. But, we were so excited this Christmas when my aunt gifted the two of us and my little sister with these beautiful paintings of the Wolfe Birds by...

Aren't they lovely?

Wedding Wednesday: Brooch Bouquets

Remember a few months ago when I posted the picture of Miranda Lambert's bouquet? Well, she was onto something. Since then, I have seen all sorts of brooch bouquets popping up in weddings. 

Green Wedding Shoes posted some beautiful pics on her site and Fantasy Floral has an entire image gallery devoted to her beautiful creations. What a special and creative way to individualize your special day!!
