Happy Tuesday!!!  Did everyone have a lovely, weekend?  I had a great weekend!  I taught dance and cheer, which was super fun, and I haven’t done that in years!  It all came back to me though, like it was just yesterday!   I also did a little shopping with my mom, sun bathed and watched The Bible with the family!  Anyways, I hope your week is off to a good start!

Hi lovelies!  Happy Friday!  I know I have been telling you my life is crazy busy, and I haven’t been posting as often the past couple weeks, but my blog is super important to me and I want to thank all my followers for your support and sweet comments!  It really means a lot to me and I think its important to tell you often, how grateful I am for all of you, I digress!

Today I am excited to talk to you about color!  Now that spring is here, a lot of people change out their pillows add flowers to vases, etc. to bring color and life into their home.  I wanted to give you 5 helpful and fun tips on how to add color to your home this spring and summer!  These tips are inexpensive and super easy!

Enjoy!

1. Painting a drab, old dinning room table, your favorite color! Paint is a quick and easy way to add color to furniture.

2. Add pops of color in unexpected places like the inside of bookcases or cabinets.

3. Add colored vases and flowers to a kitchen or any room in your home!

4. Painting curtain rods a bright color is an adorable way to add color to your window!

5. Paint a wall an accent color.  If your not brave enough to paint an entire wall, you could paint a small wall like shown below.

Happy Tuesday!  I hope you are all doing well!  I was super excited to wear this new blouse I got about a month ago for my birthday!  I went a little crazy in Banana Republic and bought so many of my birthday clothes from there!  They have so much good stuff!!  Well, if you read my blog you know I love orange and I love ruffles!  I added a little spice, but putting on my leopard Mia wedges, which I have had forever, but they are so comfortable!

Good Morning!  Happy Hump day lovelies!  I hope you all have had a good week thus far.  Sorry that I haven’t been posting as frequently as I would like, but between my hubby’s birthday and his surprise birthday party, this past week was very busy!  Oh and I ran a 5k too, this past weekend, which was so much fun and for a great cause!  I even shaved 2 minutes off my time!  I was so excited to wear this outfit, because I have had this top in my closet for months and these pants I bought just before our cruise, and I haven’t worn either of them until now!  I loved the bright colors, mixed with the jewel tones, I thought they looked so pretty together!  Hope you enjoy!

Yesterday, was my amazing husbands birthday!  I spent the day shopping for him and making him his favorite cake!  His mom lives out of the country and I knew if she was in town she would have made homemade chocolate frosting and angel food cake with strawberries for his special day!  The caked turned out beautiful and the chocolate frosting was so good!  The recipe is super easy and you can find it on the back of most cocoa canisters.  Hope you enjoy!

Hello lovelies!  Sorry my posting has been a little sporadic!  Ever since we got home from the cruise, life has been pretty busy!  This last weekend was so much fun!  I was blessed to attend two fabulous gala events!  On Sunday, I wore this fabulous yellow Maggy London dress to a Children’s Cancer Fashion show!  Attire, was spring dresses and check out my Prada shoes, I purchased these after my very first “real” interior design job!  Anyways, those kids and families were so awesome and they are so strong!  Dillard’s sponsored the Fashion show and allowed the children to choose outfits based on their fashion sense.  They all looked so cute!  It truly makes you count your blessings and thank God for your health!  My mom and I took a few photos around the hotel’s property, the flowers were simply gorgeous!!!  Enjoy!

 Happy Thursday!  Only one more day, until the weekend, yeah!  I think most girls are obsessed with shoes and purses!  I know for me they’ve always been my weakness, well chocolate too!  I thought it would be fun to review a few of my favorite shoes from the past year!  Which one(s) are your faves?
