Swing of Things

Finally getting my stuff together! I have been out of town the last two weekends and during the week either at school or doing homework! 

It's going to be a challenging quarter! BUT..

I will get through! So..

 These next few post I will be doing a little mini series


We all pin outfits on Pinterest in hopes of one day finding them right? I took some of my favorite outfits on there and turned my own clothes into look alikes. Some were close..others I put my own twist on it!! 

So this was my inspiration:





Now I definitely put my own spin on it, but I love the boyfriend ripped jeans with heels!

Craft Day

Sorry for the lack of posts, school as started this week and that has taken up my time, plus its always hard to find time for someone to take my photos

Sadly I was rather impressed with all of my outfits that I came up with this week, just no one to take my pictures. 

Anyway, I wanted to show this little chalk board I made last week. . 

This is super easy I went to Lowe's and bought the chalk board spray paint and an extra piece of pile wood and taped it off and sprayed!! So easy and cute! 

I do think I need a little more practice, but for my first time I didn't think it was to bad



I will try to do better with the post this week!

What Would You Grab?

4 More Days Until School Starts back up and I'm so ready! 


I can't believe this break is almost over! It has been short yet SO long! I'm excited to get back into a routine. 
I was watching this documentary last night called Craigslist Joe. Has anyone ever seen it? I highly recommend it if not. It shows there ARE really good people out there who help one another. So the guy    goes on this experiment kind of, to see if he could just survive off random people he meets on craigslist, basic stuff like food, shelter, and transportation. He has no money with him and only has a very few necessities and the clothes on his back...Okay to my point, I often wonder if I could survive like that. What would I pack if I only had a backpack...I think I like to ponder on that thought because I am the farthest thing from a minimalist. OR what would I grab if there was a fire in my house(besides my dog and husband!!). 

What Would you grab? Or what would you take in your small backpack?
My sister and I are talking about going to Italy over summer break, and I think I'm going to only take a backpack....We will see. haha.

Also I would love anyone that would be willing to share some of their favorite recipes.. I'm trying to cut process foods out of my diet and need more things to cook!!


How do you feel about fur coats?

these are some I watching on Ebay...

Being sick and Liebster Award














    This week started off pretty good but quickly turned... Tuesday I woke up with a head which quickly grew to a stomachache which then turned to body ache. I do not get that sick very often but boy did I have the flu. Which was following by a cold. I'm still battling the cold but seem to be feeling a little better!!
    But in better news I did manage to pull a 4.0 GPA for school!!! I was never that good in school before so it makes such a big difference when you actually know what you want to do for a living!
Also I have been nominated for a Liebster Award several times and have not gotten to complete it so to everyone that have nominated me in the past Thank you!! I was most recently nominated by Fashion with Danny so I will complete that one!

7)Do you have a job? No. I go to school now :)
8)Who takes pictures for your blog? I usually do, or my husband, or whoever is around.
