What I Wore: Cousin Nite Out

We don’t get to spend too much quality time with our cousins (everyone is just so busy), so we jump at the chance when the opportunity arises! That happened this past weekend when we went to Merrick Park to celebrate my cousin’s birthday. We had a great time, had a little too much to drink, and laughed a whole lot. Basically, a wonderful evening. I wanted to look stylish, but didn’t want to go the dress route, mainly for comfort (I’ve been so lazy lately). This little outfit definitely did the job just right!

Lovable Friday!

1. Painted words as art

Like I’ve mentioned before, our walls are pretty bare in our home. It’s just so expensive to fill them up with nice, quality art. That’s why I’m such a huge fan of all these great wall art DIY’s going around, and I especially love this idea from Oh Happy Day. Who would have thought that writing your favorite quote using a paintbrush would look so elegant and refined? Both the hubs and I are big fans of simplicity and minimalism, so this project could not fit our style any more perfectly. This is one of those projects I’m definitely going to be attempting soon! Now to pick the quote…

Fun Manicures

Manicures seem to be the theme of the blog this week, and such a hot trend right now! Although I do love doing my own nails and see it as a form of therapy, I wish I was talented enough to do the elaborate designs I see on other’s nails. Unfortunately, my hands can be pretty shaky – especially using the left hand, so I don’t think I will ever be that successful. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t collect some of my favorite creative and fun manicures to day dream about.

Happy Hump Day: Jason Momoa

Jason Momoa is all sorts of ridiculously good looking. I mean, his hotness is almost revolting. Almost. Although I’ve admired those revolting looks since the Stargate days, his role as Khal Drogo in HBO’s Game of Thrones really solidified my love. Although that role was short-lived (oh, Dany…why did you listen to that witch?), it looks like it is only the beginning for Mr. Momoa. Something tells me he is going to be a big star after Conan: The Barbarian‘s awesome opening weekend. I don’t think anyone with ovaries will be complaining. 😉

Crafting & Champagne Party

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I hosted a fun, girls-only get-together at my place this past weekend. My friends and I really love painting our nails and the majority of us have vast collections, so we thought, why not share? I paired manicures with friendship bracelets, a trend that seems to be spreading with fashion bloggers and a project I thought seemed easy enough. I mean, we all used to do these when we were younger right? Not exactly. They were way more difficult to construct than I remember, and I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that I couldn’t even make one that looked half decent. What a mess! However, I’m not a quitter, so I’m going to try to tackle one again soon – I will conquer the friendship bracelet! We all worked together while sipping on bubbly, and indulging on sweets. All in all, it was a really great afternoon and something we plan on making a monthly ritual.
