Remember

Those adorable pink Toms Shoes for a little girl

Little girls are so much fun!

Congrats Jess!  I am so excited for you!

Shabby Apple Giveaway

Remember my love for Shabby Apple? 

Well I found a giveaway for one of their dresses today!

Head over to this blog and leave an entry.

If you win, remember you love me

and say thank you!

I got one!

Remember what I said I wanted for my birthday?

Well guess what, I got one!

I love turning it on each day and listening to

my parents, and grandparents old records.

As well as a few I have purchased!

Best birthday present to date!

New Car!

In May I sold my car

and had to find a new one

Well I picked a 2004 Toyota Prius!

She is so pretty, and I am in love!

I want one of these

I have this love for records.

The sound of music recorded onto vinyl

is so soothing and classic to me.

Like the sound the needle makes when it touches the record,

or the turntable spinning,

I can't really explain it.

Most people who know this about me

think I am kind of wierd.

But I think it fits with my whole

"I should have been born in a different time"

thing.

I have this vision in my head

of coming home from work

turning on a record

and making dinner

or just relaxing

or dancing around my apartment

Playing a classic record like this

or a new one like this

or a fun one to dance to like this

Maybe for my birthday next month...

(Hint Hint)

Princess Lasertron!

Yesterday was a bad day

Work was super busy,

busy as in all 3 phone lines ringing

and I was the only person at the office!

Besides everything else that had to be done.

Then I also had a few personal issues,

that I wont bore you with all the issues

but lets just say it was to the point

that I was crying when I got home from work.

Then I saw a package on my bed.

And it made things so much better!

As many of you already know

I wear this hair piece all the time...

This beautiful and unique hairpiece was made by the

fabulous Princess Lasertron 

(also known as Megan Hunt)!

I have been following her blog for

just over a year,

and I never get tired of it!

She has one of the best eyes for details,

and has created an awesome company that

I am in love with!

Well back to my story...

I contacted her a few weeks ago

about making me some new hair pieces,

and they came yesterday!!!

I love, Love, LOVE them!

Peach, Lavender and Purple

Teal, Light Blue and Periwinkle

Black and Gray

It helped make my day better,

and eased the amount of

retail therapy I did as well!

Thanks again Megan!

You are awesome!

One day without shoes

Today Tom Shoes

(which I am obsessed with)

is holding their anual

One Day Without Shoes

This event is held anually to help people realize that the everyday tasks are so much harder when you dont have the comfort of shoes on your feet.

Unfortunately for me,

I have to work at Maurices for most of the day.

So I can only go barefoot for part of the day.

But I am wearing my Toms

to work to show my support!

If you dont know about Toms

One for One,

Read up on it here.

Show your support and go without shoes

even if it is only around your house

any little bit is showing your support!

Shabby Apple

I have posted before about Shabby Apple,

so you know my love for them already!

Normally you have to order a dress before you can try it on,

but not this weekend!

They are hosting an easter-egg hunt in Provo this weekend!

I have the day off, so I just might drive up there

and see if I can pick me up a dress...

or 2!

Did you see?

Shabby Apple launched their new Central Park and Baja lines this week!

I am loving these from the Baja line

The Sundance Kid

The Travelor

And these from the Central Park Line

 The Bethesda Foutain

The Shakespeare Garden

and The Sheep Meadow

I love dresses!

I love Shabby Apple for making cute, modest dresses!

I want these plus the 5 or so other ones in the

Manhattan, Carousel and the 1943 collections!

And yes I know I have a shopping problem,

and that looking at these dresses doesn't help that!

Keep dreaming right...

If you love me...

...you will buy me these

or these,

or maybe these,

or even these,

Thanks! And I love you too!

(P.S- The boots are my favorite! And can you tell I am obsessed with Tom Shoes?)

I believe in...

I am the type of person who always has a song or a quote to fit my situation in life. I have always believed that we can find strength to go on from so many different sources. I also believe that sometimes when someone else has already said the perfect words for how you feel. Today I have been thinking that these two quotes are how I feel. I have always loved the one by Audrey Hepburn (it's by Audrey of course I have!) but I found this other one today and I love it as well. Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! I promise to do another update soon!

(sorry these pictures are not the best quality!)

Big Spender

Watched this for the first time last night...

I LOVED IT!!!

If you have not seen it yet, I highly recommend it!

Should I be a little worried if there were parts

in the movie that reminded me of myself?

lol

I think it is time for a shopping spree....;)

My Blue Suede Shoes

So I believe that everyone should give themselves a birthday gift. This year I was trying to think about what I wanted to get for myself and I decided to get a new pair of shoes (really no surprise there! ha ha!).

So I was trying to decide which pair to get when I was reading the blog No Sex and the City. She did a post on Tom Shoes and I decided to check them out. They are a great organization that for each pair of shoes you purchase, they donate a pair of shoes to a child in need! I fell in love with a few pairs but ultimately decided on this pair. They are not suede but bright aqua blue and I love them!

Another reason I decided to get these is the fact that I don't have a lot of flat shoes. I need to work on walking in these without tripping over my own two feet. So far I have had good luck in these shoes so here's hoping I have finally learned to walk! ha ha!

Shabby Apple

So as some of you may know, I LOVE LOVE LOVE wearing dresses!!! I found a new site (Thanks to the blog No Sex and the City!) called Shabby Apple that sells the most adorable, modest dresses! There is probably a good twenty dresses that I want! ha ha! Anyway I follow them on twitter and they said they were in search of a "prego" woman for some of there dresses. I nominated my sister-in-law Shalane! Here are some pic's we took of her today with Braxton and Brooklyn in the back-ground on some! Hope you love them! I think she would look great in your clothes!
