Interneting.

Like that? I made up a word. Interneting. Anyway... I've noticed that you all are missing out on my other inspiration sites that have so so so many more beautiful photos... over there on the right side of the screen >>> you can click on the "Pinterest" "Facebook" "Tumblr" and "Twitter". Let me tell you what to expect so you can start with what you'll like the most.

Pinterest is a website that allows you to literally pin any picture on the internet into a board and it holds your image for you- forever. It also marks the website you pinned it from so you can link back to it in an instant. Pretty cool- I know!!!  This is the website I post from every Saturday, since I pin so much every day it is like a slot machine as to what the last seven images will be on Saturday mornings.

Facebook, of course you all know, will give you more photos of my jewelry, but it also will have promotions and special updates. I also post "action" shots on the new pieces I am working on. It is also a really easy way to share me with your friends- if you want to.

Tumblr is a photo blog site that works similar to Pinterest except that you can post words and quotes and videos and links, etc. Anything and everything- I'd like to begin hosting a video blog on there once a week about how to make jewelry or DIY projects. Stay tuned!!

And Twitter- my favorite! This is just a list of random thoughts and interactions with my favorite people ALL OVER THE WORLD... I literally can communicate my thoughts to Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift- so join Twitter yourself so you can share your thoughts too! I want to hear them!!!!

Kate Spade vs. Anthropologie

It is always so hard for me to pick one style- that is NORMAL. Even though, it is ok, I still wish I could have one style, because I feel like it would make like easier since shopping could be done in a snap. Oh well...  do you all like Anthropologie or Kate Spade better... in other words do you like a lot of colors working well together in small amounts or do you like a few bright and bold colors?  I can't decide either... 

Old world charm. Antique details and unique ideas in muted colors. 

This is wallpaper!!! A feature wall in the living room with a white sofa and bright pillows- that's my style. 

Soft white texture with beautiful pastel prints. This is basically what my bedroom looks like now. Add some tan and gold.  Yup, that's my room! 

Gorgeous floral art used as a notebook. I can't imagine how beautiful these would look stacked along with other books in a shelf.

Water-colored art, antique rugs, ornate wood fireplace, distressed tables, leather sofas- I want to live in this room. 

Whimsical, colorful, and bold.

Pink, black, white. Crisp and whimsy. Ahhhhh!!! 

Bright pink, with a bold print, and black. Catching the theme of the "Kate Spade" style? It's the boldness of the patterns that I love. 

Word of this style, Bold. Bold and large green and white stripes contrasted with a bright pink towel. Simple, and it still makes a statement.

Floral and striped 'thank you' cards. I think I will order these. I want to decorate some part of my new apartment with bold flowers and stripes thanks to this stationary.

Colors galore. Like a rainbow on the floor [my sad attempt at a rhyme.]

Floral bracelet... like it???

Simple, daily necklaces to make the plain white tee into the awesome white tee.

Last 7 Pinterest Saturdays.

Alright, I'll confess, I really like white and teal. There, you know my secret. The chairs' wood frames with contemporary style coordinate perfectly to me with the rustic wood table stand. Modern art pulls this eclectic style together! 

Cream. Honeysuckle. Baby Blue. Even her nails are light pink. Perfect outfit for a luncheon. 

Lace shorrrrrrrttttttsssssssss. To-die-for outfit. The navy and denim are the perfect match for lace shorts- it is like wearing a lace top with jeans- just flipped upside down. My goal is wear a clutch with a day outfit this summer. 

The texture of the grass in the background make this old pink bicycle look smooth and new again. Flowers make everything  prettier. 

VELVET BLUE CHAIRS WITH SILVER PULLS... I CANT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT!!!!!  Loving the candlesticks too- twisted silver- and tall. 

I like the editing of this photo. They have played with the lighting and exposure, its darker and has a green/blue tone to it. Cute for piano players, to frame and place on their piano. 

Not sure WHAT this girl is doing- fixing her bracelet? yea. Staring at a wall? yea. Posing for the camera? no.
She is pretty, though.

Odds-n-Ends.

I collected a snapshot of all of my favorite textures and colors and collections. I thought this would be a great idea to have in front of me when I start collecting my next batch of jewelry supplies so that I can keep things more uniform and more me! 

Apparently, I like natural wood, pinks and blues and white, ruffles and bows, thin curved metal, leather and lace, and bold graphic prints. Yup! I sure do. [oh, and fluffy dogs.] What do you all like?

Apple Genius.

I am sure you all have seen these vinyl decals for the Apple computers... but I just love them. I only have an iPad and not a macbook. Apple Sauce is the company, and they will custom make it for you- to fit almost any Apple device. Yay for them!  This is just another one of those products somebody created that make me happy. 

Jewelry to Know and Love.

Fellow Tennessean, Becca Belz, has beautiful taste and makes fantastic jewelry. I heard about her and her designs through a friend in my law school class, and she was a part of my inspiration to make my passion into a potential career. As you can see here, she has done the same. I think the best part of her jewelry is that it is the perfect type to wear with everyday casual outfits, but the same piece also looks incredibly awesome when dressing up. You can see more of her pieces on her facebook page. The best news is that Anthropologie has picked up some of her pieces!!! Congrats girl- you inspire me. Can't wait to meet you back in Memphis sometime!

The chains she uses are so pretty on their own, it was so smart to feature them.

I would wear these every single day. Love.

The colorrrrrs... the texturrrrre... adore. 

Brush 101.

I love The Beauty Department. I even worked in cosmetics once upon a time and still I was never 100% confident in my choices for what to use when I put on my make-up. There is a saying though, if something isn't easy to do it is because you have the wrong tool. IT IS SOOO TRUE! Study  this and make-up will get easier. 

Maybe I will NEVER have to use those concealer brushes- ha! I am actually on my way out to buy the right kind now, no WONDER I never liked how the concealer was going on. hmpf!

Dad's Day.

Don't forget Father's Day is this weekend!!! My dad always liked fishing - we had a few of them on the wall like the one below- now who knew all I had to do was paint it ONE color to make it look sooo CHIC!! I hope these can inspire a great gift for dad- or just GREAT design. 

If I still had one of my dad's fish- I'd paint her bright blue and hang her in an all white kids room. Fun fun fun! 

These little dishes are at Pier 1, and you can use them for anything... butter dish on Dad's day? Yes! To keep his coins in- Yes! 

Pottery Barn never fails me, these are adorable!!!! GET ONE FOR HIS GRILL! 

I think these are beautiful. They would look so nice in a kitchen or even outside on a patio by a pool. Source.

Let's Make a Tag.

I just think these are beautiful. I would even frame them. Why do I love these tie-dye things? Because they can incorporate so many colors and shades on paper... paper is my new favorite material. The material of the day. Ha, maybe I can incorporate that into my posts everyday. Not a bad idea. So, are we thinking that with some watercolor paper, watercolor paint, water, and a paint brush that I could make these magical tags? Or we could just order them here: http://prettyarty.bigcartel.com/product/tags-aquarelle

Enter.

An entryway is probably a forgotten piece in the home, even though it is the first thing that invites you into your own home every single day- unless you don't leave your house everyday, but I guess that's ok. ;) Be inspired by some of my oldie, but goodie entryways. Make your entryway treat you well, so you can smile every time you enter your home!!

The windows and the blue door. I can't imagine anything more happy to say "Honey, I'm hoooome!"

Sometimes you don't want clutter greeting you at the front door- understandable. But it can still be chic. 

Ladies- glam glam glam. The pinks and taupes and florals say "you're beautiful!" when you get home.  

Another happy, yet sophisticated entrance. Thanks Jonathan Adler for always being so great at making homes lovely. 

'Hello, welcome to your relaxed home. You like to be romantic and I make you feel like lighting candles and reading a book.' 

Fun times are in this home! Wwwatch out! It had to have taken a lot of work to make this look so good. I want that table  now. 

Notice the tile customized to fit the carpeting/rug. I think an artist lives here- the graphics, the bold colors- yess. All it needs is an easel with a paint palette to start screaming "BE CREATIVE" when the owner walks in the door.

True Inspiration.

I am captivated. I love how he posted words with his images. It changes everything. He is obsessed with memory. Sounded weird at first and then... I realized how important our memories are. They are everything we are and everything we have of our lives here. Think about it and then remember it.
