{what i wore}

Target did it again!  Got my ass!  I even avoided the women’s clothing section.

Straight up beelined it for the  grocery section.  Then right there before my eyes….in the damn purse section, was this vest.  My heart skipped a beat.  Seriousness!

I tried to keep walking past, but I couldn’t.  I just might possibly believe in love at first sight now?!?!

So soft.

So warm.

So comfy.

So perfect.

{that bootie though}

As summer slips away…..
I had a small moment of sadness when I typed September 1st today.  Don’t you wish it was possible to push pause and make it last just a tiny bit longer?
I sat on the couch this morning sipping my coffee and searching Nordstrom.com (typical) and I couldn’t help but notice the season changing.  The cool crisp mornings.  Maybe pulling out my all time favorite fall candle helped a little too.  You guys, Leaves is back at Bath + Body.  Run!  Go get it.  It’s a seasonal scent that is only here for a limited time.
Can you feel it?  The pumpkin spice explosion is about to dominate the world for the next four months, beginning TODAY!  You’ve been warned 🙂

Ok, sorry I got distracted.  Lets get back to Nordstrom.

High-Five friends….IT’S FRIDAY!

 

ONE – I made these adorable mini rosemary wreaths for my dinning table.  They make me happy 🙂  I have a big ol’ rosemary plant in my backyard and I’m always trying to come up with different ways to use it up.   I’ve seen this creative non food way of using them before and thought I’d give it a shot.  IMG_2169.JPG

Want to make some for your Christmas table?

Here’s what you need:

  • Rosemary
  • Twine
  • Scissors
  • Floral Wire (optional)

You will need long sprigs of rosemary for this project.   About 8 inches long.  I first soaked my rosemary  in a water bath to make the sprigs more pliable.  Be careful when bending into a circular shape, as the sprigs can snap.  Once you’ve created your wreath, tie a little floral wire to secure.  I didn’t have any wire on hand, so I tied my twine to hold the two ends together and it worked perfectly.  The floral wire would have made it easier though.  Tie a pretty little bow and you are done.  I practiced with red + white twine, which was super cute but didn’t match with my white and gold color scheme.  I set them on top of my folded napkins.  You could totally tuck your napkin through the center and use as a napkin ring too.  So many possibilities.
