check out Natalie Woods jewelry collection via The Selby! ! ! the cloud necklace is too cute.

and her awesome bejeweled high tops!  

photo of Nylon magazine//i found this spread to be very inspiring.

more of Natalie’s place, the cat mobile is adorable. . and the A. Wang scarf *in black* is something i’ve coveted for a long time. . 

i can tell by her jewelry collection, as well as the other photos on The Selby, we could totally be friends. . too bad she resides in Australia. .

another page from the most current Nylon, which by the way has Sienna on the cover, lovin this hat, reminds me of Stevie Nicks circa 1972. 

here’s my jewels///a collection that started as early as kindergarden 

four left most pieces are from rock & mineral shows, big Geode (d. blue guy) is from my days living in Montana (k-2nd grade), pretty blue calcite (right front) is a gift from Susan found in Rhode Island, shells were found by me, as well as granite in back-found in New Hampshire.

coral-in back-found in Key West, geode pieces from rock and mineral show, amethyst from University of Alabama’s Geology dept. photo is my mom in 1980.

Friday was Susan’s wedding at the Yacht Club in Tuscaloosa, which turned out to be beautifully decorated in all the nautical artifacts you can imagine (the yacht club, not necessarily her wedding which was supposed to be outdoors-but unfortunately was rained out. . didn’t make a difference to me, i thought it was lovely) There was a great sunset, upbeat band, l/o/t/s of finger foods, shrimp & grits station, open premium bar, && familiar faces. We danced it up and then went to The Booth for a separate hoedown. Saturday we went out for breakfast and then hit up the lake with my mom and Gracie (the new pup). Tasted some of my brothers home brew and grilled out, thats about when dp and I passed out at 7 and didn’t wake till this morning at 8am our time. ha. i don’t consider it a wasted night as i probably needed the rest more than anything. obviously. 

I wish there was a sweet robot that could replace me when I don’t feel like working and/or changing the litterbox. . .  

Exactly like above.

the top one is probably my fav but any would suffice.

Here is one of my latest projects//

Turning cabinet into chalkboard mini wet bar///I found this vintage piece in Florence, AL while visiting Emma and doing a little antique shopping. Enjoyed the blue color for a year but was wanting a change, thought the black chalkboard paint would look nicely in our place and my-oh-my did it turn out great.

after three coats and letting dry for several days, viola! 

write away!!

overall bar is not complete, still want to install wine glass holder above and also collect vintage decanters. . .but thus far I’m satisfied.

photos from Friday evening//spent grilling out, sipping on a Sweet Water 420 keg, while listening to friend’s new album

cha cha now y’all!

g’night!

after work and driving to dealership to change out vehicles I finally made it on the road and managed to catch the entire sun set. . .the scenery was so pretty along the way, jumped out && sucked in some mountain air before indulging on some fast food. . . 

’round 10 something, arrived to this//

never expected my first beer bonging experience to be done with this. . .lord have mercy. . 

((couldn’t really post any pictures from the first night, not blog appropriate)) We did have a lingerie shower that was fun, she got some really great stuff-mostly tasteful-I gave her pink sequined heart-shaped pasties that had tassels on them with a matching g-string. ha.  

I’m wearing vintage dress from Value Village 

2nd day we surprised Susan (in green Miss Sixty dress by me) with the Music City Brewers Fest!!! She is a beer connoisseur and is totally into all forms of festivals so this was a huge, we had such a good time! Live music. .including Phish covers. . Beer. .Bratwurst. . good people 

cheers to Susan and Jon!!
