Lucepedia.com

If any of you are lucky enough to know about Lucepedia.com you are amazingly lucky...I've met with the blog owner and not only is she a FABULOUS designer, she knows a lot about FASHION! She also happens to be my wonderful sister with a great design sense and already has some big projects under her belt and she's only 22!!

Check out her blog here.

Isn't this nursery soo adorable? This type of find is only one of many on her blog--I LOVE her design style and we are really similar in style, however, I think mostly because she shows me cool stuff and I'm like OH MY GOSH I LOVE THAT. Sometimes we get into fights over who had the idea and we call No Stealing on each others creative ideas. Somethings we don't have in common...like our height:) I am a full 5" taller than she is...lucky for her she's cute and petite and finds all the best clothes and she doesn't have to worry about them being too short...or she loves designer jeans and I'm all about nondescript:)

Ok, well PLEASE go check her out because she is AMAZING and I credit her for all my design expertise (which is absolutely none) and you can bet I'm hiring her the MINUTE I have my own place!!!!

On another note...see these cute shoes I picked up today

 

I just COULDN'T resist! I've been keeping my eye out for awesome leopard print shoes and I saw these and they are PERFECT!! Also, with the recent move I just got rid of a BUNCH of shoes, so I felt my closet had room!!!

I also wanted to post about an upcoming GIVEAWAY that everyone in UTAH COUNTY should be SUPER excited about. (everyone else can be too...I guess:) haha) So get ready for the big REVEAL

One more thing....I was browsing through blogs this afternoon and ran into this number on Ruffles and Stuff.

 

One of my good friends happens to own this SAME sweater and wore it to church on Sunday and I fell in LOVE! Well I loved it so much I wanted to recreate it because of course I searched everywhere for it and couldn't find it...I'm still in the process of working on it, but I was so glad to find a picture to give me some recreated inspiration...so just fyi Erin, someone in another state has the same sweater as you:)

Vintage Love

I know it's been awhile since I've posted...but I've been working like crazy (physical inventory time of the year) and we just found out WE"RE MOVING...for real this time:)

I have found time somewhere in here to finish that dreaded pencil skirt, start a dress, alter some curtains, make some headbands...here's some pics of the headbands

 

 

 

 

 

I know these aren't touched up photos...but I'm going crazy here with work and these at least give you a glimpse..I've worn one almost everyday because I have so many to match different outfits! I love it!! Best thing is they cost so little!!!

Plush Alphabet Ornament

Every year my cousins and I exchange gifts (with about 40 of us it is quite a challenge). This year we are exchanging ornaments. I have my 16 yr old boy cousin named Chandler who loves music and girls:) Since most young men aren't very nostalgic...I decided to use this cute tutorial to make him an ornament of his name.

Thought it turned out pretty good and definitely masculine:)

J.Crew and Courderoy

 

Thought I'd be able to make my own so I took my own old pair of Levi corduroys I bought in high school for like $30.00

turned them inside-out and sewed them to be matchstick

I will model them later when my husband can take the picture:) I'm also working on taking in the top waistband because they are still TOO big!!

Pretty good for FREE J.Crew lookalikes!!

Mod Podge Obsession

I have been following this great blog called Mod Podge Rocks. You may remember my first attempt at decopaging from this post here. Well, I've been at it again!!

 

I got these as a gift from my friend who I was helping move. They were cream craft boards and as soon as I saw them I knew what to do with them!! The first one was for my kitchen to coordinate my burnt orange bookshelf and also my rugs, the second was for my younger sister's dorm room:)

Thank you Mod Podge for your inspiration and craftiness!!!

(sorry for the bad picture quality...our basement apt doesn't have the best lighting:))
