Toms...

I've had some cute Toms sightings lately (doesn't it seem like everyone has a pair now?)... That inspired me to post some of my personal favorite Toms pics!

While we were shopping in SLO a few weeks ago we spotted this darling Toms wreath!

& this is a pic of all of us who wore our Toms to Deb's going away party!

& now just the sparklers!

Casual Style Inspiration...

I have to say that my last post on casual style has made me try a bit harder when getting dressed everyday... Here are some more style pics I love.

I love this top/necklace combo...

I need to switch up my jeans every once in a while. Casual to me always means jeans.

LC did it again... Love the flowy top!

Just Saying...

Amy Butler Fabric...

Amy Butler is a fabric/pattern designer. I'm always so amazed at how much cuter her fabrics are than the rest! We went fabric shopping today & we even found some of her stuff for 50% off! I just love the boldness & the great colors!

Can't you just imagine all these fabrics as pillows, or aprons, or even darling bunting?!?

Decor...

With an impending move (into our permanent central cali residence!) on my mind, I've been thinking decor! Here are some pics I've collected & absolutely love:

I love the pink fridge & red teapot.

Wallpaper is my fave.
This is the best decorative alphabet I've seen.

This is quite possibly my dream room. I'd replace the deer with a horse or elephant though :)

Best. Bookshelf. Ever.

I showed this pic to my dad and he replied, "I can see why you like it. It looks messy." Ha!

Parenthood...

I checked my Tivo today and was ecstatic to find that we had a Parenthood waiting for us! It's probably my favorite show on TV right now... I sadly have to wait till tonight to watch it. It's one of the few shows my parents & I both LOVE!

Gone With The Wind...

I have finally finished reading Gone With The Wind. I'll admit I was dragging my feet a bit on finishing this one because I was enjoying it so much. Let me give you a little history of my love for this story. Gone With The Wind is my grandma's favorite movie. Every time we would come out to CA to visit her we would have movie days where we had delicious snacks & watched it. She always made a really fun event from these movie days. So my love affair with this story started long ago. Reading the book was such a different experience though. Margaret Mitchell is really an outstanding writer. I wanted to savor every bit of it, even though the movie is fairly accurate to the book (with a few differences of course). So, I have entered that post-great book depression. One of my favorite things about this book is of course the characters. Scarlett does some truly terrible things, but I found myself justifying her & rooting for her. I think that's the sign of a really great character. And sadly I identified with her & Rhett more than I would like to admit :) I can't wait to watch the movie again & have an even greater appreciation of this epic story.

p.s. One of my proudest moments was in 11th grade history, we watched Gone With The Wind & took a test on it. I got 108% which was the highest grade in the class! My grandma put it on her fridge!
