Career Hunt. Obviously.

Wouldn't it be fun to own a bakery that looked like this...

and that baked cakes that looked like this...

sources unknown. I'm so sorry.

In the Mode.

I feel like I am in wedding mode since I have 3 weddings this Fall. One down, two to go. It is a good thing that I love weddings so much. I have even considered wedding planning and catering since I love love love to cook, love to shop, love to make crafts, love to plan events and love to love. It really would be the perfect job for me. Maybe I could do divorces on the side... jk. The only bad thing... no Saturdays off. Good thing I don't like football that much. And I wouldn't have to wake up before 9am... hopefully ever. 

This dress is so pretty, but it is also pretty casual so it needed a barn and country floral cupcakes. Also, that linen towel over on the left, yea that's the invitation. LOVE IT!!

Alert.

Coolest invention ever alert. A locket that is pretty, but wait and it has a great function. A USB locket. It is a little pricey, but its real gold. I can sense a computer crash coming on from my lil ol' Acer laptop so I have been backing up like a mad woman. This could be a new necessity, huh Dear?

Time Flies When...

It has been too long since my last post, obviously by now, you have all decided that I care more about law school than keeping my lovies (readers) entertained. Well, that is so not true! I just care more about not wasting my last year in law school by failing out. So in honor of the missed time, I bring to you, my favorite clocks...

By now you can figure out that I like antique clocks. Yep, I do! And why so much? Well, let's say your clock is just 50 years old... we won't even imagine the ones from Europe that are 100s of years old. Anyway, think of all the people who relied on that clock to do all the great things in their lives. Ah, it makes my heart happy. Our lives function on clocks. They are important and very special. I <3 clocks. [make that into a t-shirt New York!]

and YES, these clocks may be protected by patents, trade secrets, international law, and subject to a divorce proceeding with a lien. (muhaha, I am so close to being a lawyer. I even blog like one.)

I'm So Blue.

I'm so obsessed with blue. It could be that I've gone back to law school and the reading assignments are already piling up, or that I had to move away from my lover-dude for another year... now, I do believe color choices reflect your mood, but I don't think my desire for blue right now has any relation to my back-to-school-depression [especially since this year I actually get to take classes that are interesting to me- the reason for going to law school in the first place!]. Blue is just a beautiful color, a happy color, and as the images below will demonstrate-an elegant color! Light, dark, neon, it doesn't matter because every shade is gorgeous. 

That artwork is something I am going to strive to create this year. It is my new hobby/stress relief. Source

I really like how this space is neutral-ish and then they used just a little bit of large items in complete blue to make it stand out. Source.

I have been in love with this place setting since the day I saw it. I have never found anything to even start to look similar. Sad. Source.

The elegant;y vintage chic blue room. I can just imagine a poet or writer going to bed at night here by candle-light. SOO jealous of that writer and all those candle lights. Wait- I bet some old man lives here. Wasted Space if he does! Source.

Bright blue done right. (unknown source)

Laced Up Wedges.

I normally don't dive head first into trends... I usually let others put their toes in first and then I complain about the temperature for a while, test it again, and then when its right, I jump all in. Uh, some new trend has caught my eye and I am diving in this one immediately. No waters tested... wedged boy lace loafers!!!! LOVE THEM, these are Steve Maddens:

What do ya think? They'd be adorable with black tights/leggings, skirts, and cardigans. Love love love. Plus, finally, designers figured out that WOMEN LIKE WEDGES!! 

I am welcoming Fall this year more than I ever have before. Thank you Steve Madden.

Tu-Tu Much Fun.

A fun weekend was had, just in time to go back to school today. I HAVE to share these hilarious photos with you. Meagan, your mom is amazing for making these for us. I hung my green tulle skirt in my coat closet so that every time I get ready to leave my apartment, I see it and smile.

After the Katy Perry Concert... Bachelorette Party!!! Love our tu-tus??

That's me, over there on the far right... yea, the one with the hiked up tu-tu. I didn't know how to wear it. I've never worn tu-tus before!! Oh, and it is true, my friends are beautiful. 

You don't see this everyday. 

So Thirsty.

The Bachelorette party is tomorrow! I am so excited to celebrate the end of one of my best friend's single life forever! We are going to the Katy Perry concert in Nashville. I am in charge of bringing a champagne punch - BUT what punch should I bring?!

Peach Lemonade Sangria? 

Martha Stewart's Champagne Punch?

Emeril Lagasse's Champagne Punch?

I know... tough life. My biggest worry right now is what kind of alcohol to drink!
Back to law school in 4 days... eek. 

To get a pup or to not get a pup... that is the question. I think I finally gave up on the idea of getting one. They are a lot of work and I think I'll wait till I have a yard. I'm not fond of puppy walks in the winter.

Exciting News.

Have you ever fallen in love with Samantha Kay Jewelry, but wanted to look at it in person to make sure you like the size of it and so you can try it on. Well, you're in luck. Chic in Knoxville on Kingston Pike next to Spirited Art / the old Wok Hay is now carrying SKJewelry!!
This boutique has AWESOMELY CUTE stuff and I am excited to send my customers there to purchase their jewelry.
Here is a little preview of the set-up and some of Chic's pretty things...

That's SKJ, in the bowl. Love it! 

You HAVE to visit Chic's facebook page here and see her cute clothing. This is one of my favorite tops- although that was a hard decision bc everything is adorable:

Back to Reality.

So before I actually jump back into reality, I am going to recount for my trip. Beach, books, relaxation, driving and family. It was fun. Now on to Bachelorette parties at Katy Perry concerts and my last year of law school- all while making jewelry and attending 3 weddings! Fun fun fun!!! 

Random surfer, but AWESOME photo.

Jellyfish on shore. I think these creatures are incredible and beautiful.

Underneath the Pier in Juno Beach. I risked the waters with my iPhone for this shot

Granma! 

The Siblings.

The ladies. Oh man, hair in South FL just doesn't work the same as it does in TN.

Almost the whole family. We think we are still missing half. But it's still nice to get a lot together for a shot. Left to right: Aunt Linda, Uncle Rocky, Aunt Janie, Mom Billie, Sister Chrissy, Cousin Jimmy, Cousin Eric, Granma Katy, Cousin Donna, Cousin Quinn, Cousin Daniela, Cousin Jason, Kids Brandon and Kayleigh... ME- yea in the bottom corner because I had to run from the camera. Oh and I was barefoot. Oops! 

Notice that THIS pier is the same one from the photo below in my last post. Well, it is but it isn't. They built a new one  recently and this is the new one but it is in the same area. I love it! 

Be sure to check out my tumblr page for a photo blog of my trip!!!
