09.16.16 Friday Favorites

Happy Friday Ya'll!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!  Here's a look of the things that caught my eye and made me swoon throughout this week!

1.  Sierra Metal Designs Necklace

I originally saw this necklace on Facebook this week, but I think it's absolutely precious!  I love the simplicity of the bar necklace and the words "Trust in the Lord" engraved on it.  Beautiful and inspiring!  

2.  The Savannah Bag Co. 

I've been following the Savannah Bag Co., on Instagram for a while now and can't get enough of these cute little totes!  They would be the perfect gift to bring back to a family member or bestie after a trip to Savannah!  Keep up the cuteness, Savannah Bag Co!  And maybe make one for Greenville, SC! ;) 

3.  Stephendipity Art

Stephanie Griswold's art is so inspiring to me!   When she shared this one this week, I fell in love!  I love the colors, and the abstractness of this painting.  I feel like it would be awesome as a HUGE canvas or even as a tiny painting.  Regardless the size, it has impact! 

4.  Rusticpigdesigns Entryway Decor

I recently acquired an old typewriter and I've been trying to figure out what to do with it.  This week, as I was looking through Instagram, I came across rusticpigdesigns and saw her entryway.  Love it! And guess what?  They're a typewriter on her entryway table!  I love how she incorporated it here with family pictures, the "thankful" sign and pumpkins.  

5.  Outdoor Firepit on Home Beautiful

Us southern girls love a good bonfire or firepit!  House Beautiful shared a list of the best Fall Outdoor spaces and this one was my favorite!  How cozy does this look?

6.  Infinity Scarf

I might be a tad biased on this last one, but I love how fun and cozy this cream colored infinity scarf turned out this week!  I'm on a tassel kick, so of course they were added to this new scarf and I'm really liking it!  

I'm all Decorated for Fall!

Fall is my absolute favorite season and I love decorating for it, almost as much as I do for Christmas!
This year, I added a few new pieces to my decor, to go with some of the decorations I've had for years.  Here are a few pictures of my fall decor!

This handmade pumpkin was my mom's and I've acquired it.  I decorate with it every year. ;)

This gray and mint table is in my foyer and I loved the way that it was already decorated.  The framed picture is of various antique Swedish calling cards from the early 1900s.  It was my great uncle's and my grandparents gave it to me when we moved into our house.  The Tiffany lamp was my grandmother's who passed away this past April and I feel like the lamp and the calling card picture were made to go together.  I simply added small pumpkins in my mint bowl, on the bottom of the table to give this area somewhat of a "fall" look.  

This antique tea cart was my great aunt's and I was so excited to use it in my dining room!  

The flower arrangement was on my dining room table, but I love how it looks on the tea cart!

This little Autumn Greetings sign came from the Dollar Tree for only $1!  I thought it was super cute and it's hanging on my China Cabinet.  

This gorgeous pumpkin came from TJ Maxx this year. 

Marshalls had these cornucopias for only $1.99 this year!  Needless to say, between my mom and I, we bought them all!

These antique milk glass vases were also my grandmother's.  To decorate for fall, I put Spanish moss inside, and put one of these cute gold pumpkins on top of each vase. 

My dining room

I found these placemats this year for my kitchen table and they are the exact same pattern that my dining room table runner is!  Of course, I had to have them! 

My mom bought this copper 3 tier stand for me a few years ago and it has been perfect for parties, decorating, etc!  I simply wrapped a fall garland around it and tucked in these ceramic pumpkins on each level.  

Nothing says fall to me more than plaid and pumpkins.  I loved this Isaac Mizrahi white and gray plaid throw that I found at TJ Maxx.  I thought it was a great way to transition the couch into fall and winter.

My husband actually picked out these glass pumpkins at Costco for us!  

Meet Amy the cute Halloween Witch.  Mom bought her for me several years ago and she's been one of my favorite Halloween decorations since!

09.09.16 Friday Favorites

Happy Friday ya'll!  Here's a list of the things this week that caught my eye and made me swoon.

1. Gucci Marmont bag

I get emails from Gucci often, but this email totally caught my eye, with this bright pink beauty!  How cute is this little bag?  I love the color and the gold accents!  

2. Rae Dunn mugs

These cuties have been all over Instagram lately and I've even seen them at my local Marshalls.  Evidently, they now have almost a cult following and are hard to find!  I'm on a mission to acquire a couple of these simple, yet beautiful mugs in the near future!

3.  Glam Glow Supermud Clearing Treatment

Nothing makes me feel more girly than doing a face mask.  Am I right?!  I remember growing up, having slumber parties, and always doing a face mask with my girl friends.  Now, if I could just talk my husband into doing that with me...  ;)   Last week, while I was at Sephora, I used my Beauty Insider points to score a small bottle of this wonderfulness!  It's amazing!  You can see everything coming to the surface of your pores!  Try it out!  You'll love it!

4.  Pamela J. Bates Painting

I've been following Pamela J. Bates for a while now on Instagram and I've fallen in love with all of her oceany blue paintings!  Then, I saw this one... OMG!  Beautiful use of color and just the perfect amount of abstract.  I LOVE it!  Not to mention, its for a great cause.  She created this painting to be auctioned off for a boy who has brain cancer, and his family.  Check out the Instagram account @brushstrokeforbraydon for more information.  

5.  Zac Posen Dress

So, let me tell you, this dress is everything... I VERY rarely have a need to dress up quite like this, but if I did, I would need this dress.  This color is gorgeous and this cut screams, "I am totally rocking this on the red carpet."  I wonder if this would be a tad much for a cruise ship dinner?  hmm...  One can dream!

 6.  Panthers Necklace on Etsy

I know I might be a little biased on this next favorite thing, but I do love this Panthers color tassel necklace on my Etsy shop!  We are now in full swing of football season and it would be the perfect tailgating accessory!  For the month of September, all of my team colors necklaces will be $5 off ($35 each).

09.02.16 Friday Favorites

Happy Friday Ya'll!  This week, I've been getting my house decorated for fall.  I know, I know, I'm doing it early, but fall is my favorite season!  I just love the smell of cinnamon and pumpkin spice, cooler weather, bonfires...  AH!  Fall!

Anywho, I wanted this week's Friday Favorites to be somewhat fall themed.  Here's a list of things that have caught my eye and made me swoon this past week!

1.  Luca + Danni Key Bracelet

These bracelets are super cute and would be a great accessory to any fall outfit!  They also have little inspirational words on them like - love, believe, be kind, and inspire.  Adorable!

2.  Vionic Caballo Flats in Merlot

If you've never tried on a pair of Vionic shoes, you're missing out!  I've been a Vionic fan since I bought a pair of flip flops from them several years ago and fell in love with the brand!  They have amazing arch support and are comfortable without looking like grandma shoes (no offense to you grandmas out there!)   These flats are super cute, comfortable, and in the season's hottest color - Merlot!

3.  Pumpkin Pie Spice Coffee Creamer

Nothing tastes more like fall than pumpkin spice anything!  I love this coffee creamer and it's a great deal at Sam's Club for a two pack.  Yummy AND a good deal!

4.  Robert Brown Interior Design Study in Atlanta Homes & Lifestyle Magazine

I love using taupes and cream colors in interior design.  You can do so much and add any accent color with it!  When I saw this study on the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles website, I fell in love with the softness of the cream colors with the dark wood for the builtins.  It just looks so fresh!  I would totally drink a pumpkin spice latte in that cozy chair!  ;)  

5.  Be Still Clothing Co.

I came across this company on Instagram this week.  They have the absolute cutest t-shirts ever! I love that it is a Christian company and they're trying to share the word of God through fashion!  Love love!!!

6.  Olive Green Infinity Scarf 

I've been crocheting, since my grandma taught me over 20 years ago.  I enjoy doing it, and I love the finished product of these chunky infinity scarves.  One of my favorite colors for fall is this olive/army green and I can't get enough of this scarf!  Check it out on my etsy shop!

New Game Day Tassel Necklaces are now on Etsy!

Football Season is ALMOST here!  

Who else will be watching the Carolina Panthers tomorrow night?  My husband and I have decided to throw a little football party for the two of us, with 7 layer dip, wings, and beer. You know, the typical football foods!  ;)   

In the mean time, I've been ramping up my Etsy shop and stocking more items.  The Clemson and Carolina necklaces sold last week.  So, it was time to make a couple more to add to the site. However, since every necklace is a piece of art, none of them are the same.  New beads and new designs were in the works today!  Check them out and don't forget to check out my Etsy shop to get gameday ready! Also, gameday necklaces will be only $35 (regularly $40) for the month of September!
