Rainy Days and Thursdays

So I know that is not how the song goes but it is fitting for today. If April showers bring May flowers then what about March showers? Do they just bring April showers? I have been sporting my rain boots lately. I am ready to put those back in the closet and brake out the strappy heels! Hurry up Spring!

These are the rain boots I wish I had, I love you Burberry!


One thing that I do love about all the rainy weather is the excuse to snuggle up with a hot cup of tea and a good book. I am down to only 8 books left on my nightstand (except I have added three to get after I finish those, pretty sure I need to slow down, haha)! The next book up is Karen Kingsbury's latest, Take 4! I have been waiting for this book for too long. If you have not read any of her books I recommend starting with her Baxter Family series, the first book is called Redemption. They are amazing!



I hope ya'll stay dry! And maybe soon we might see some flowers! ;)

Wishful Wednesday. . . Handbag

'I wish' .... I could afford either one of these Dooney and Bourke handbags without putting a dent in my pocketbook!

I know these are not as expensive as some of ya'lls picks but I just love Dooney! I picked three that I would love to have.

I like the style of this one. Plus I think pink would be cute for the summer!

The giraffe look is great for the fall. I like that it is animal print but without being cliche and being zebra print.

This is just cute and would an adorable beach bag or casual bag! I love the ducks on it!

If you want to play along just hop over to The Seattle Smith's! What handbag would you want?

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I Love My Shoes

I am sure you all are aware of my deep love of shoes! I have blogged about it several times so if you don't know about it then it is because you don't read my blog enough (shame on you)! haha!


I also have to be organized at all times. So combining those to passions results in my blog for the day!


I have a closet just for my shoes. They are boots first then shoes that are color coded and then sub coded by style. For example, closed toes to peep toe to sandals to strappy shoes. And flip flops last because they aren't real shoes. There are also decorations that make me smile everytime I open my closet! My Momma got me a new one which also help to make this the topic today.


Here are some pictures of my closet!
You can tell where they shoes are that I am wearing today. Notice the big hole! haha!


These are my decorations! I find that they are all true!




I couldn't get a good picture of it but but I also have my gym bag hanging in there on a hook that says: "Kick up your heels! Celebrate life!".

Are ya'll as weird about your closets or is it just me?

Back to Work

How was everyones weekend? I was not ready to come back to work this morning but for some reason the government does not want to pay me for just being me?! Imagine that?!

I did have a wonderful weekend though. Friday night Bunny and I watched the last game of the Tigers season. They did a great job this year with Cal taking off and leaving us high and dry (yes I am still bitter). Next year is going to be amazing! After all we do have the number one recruiting class!!

After the game we had dinner and then saw The Bounty Hunter! It was really cute! The perfect date movie because is has the love story for us girls and then action and a "who done it" plot for the fellas. However, I was not okay with the fact that to see this I had for fork out $10! Movie tickets just keep going up! Its crazy!

Saturday I went to a lovely shower for my friend Lauren, who is getting married on June 19th. She looked so happy! However, her and her fiance were robbed at gun point later that night so please say a prayer for them. They are a bit shaken up, of course!

Even though I was not ready to go back to work I am very much ready for this week! I finally got my knee brace off so today I get to SLOWLY begin working out again. I am so glad because I have felt lazy these last 3 months!

I also will be getting my devotional book in this week. I have mentioned in an earlier post that Bobby and I were going to start a Bible study together and now that he is all settled in we are going to start it this week! YAY! Bobby has also started visiting some churches down there in Melbourne so please pray that he finds the one God is calling him to! I just love how my man loves Jesus! I will keep ya'll up to date on the Bible study!

Happy Monday Girls!

Fashion Friday

Is anyone else excited that it is Friday? Maybe it is because I was on vacation last week so I have not gotten back into the groove of work, but I could not be more ready for the weekend!


Last night was Project Runway! The designers were teamed up and had to create a day and night outfit based on an assigned area of New York.

These two teams were my favorites!

Anthony and Maya had Chinatown.

The day look was very sophisticated! I love the red details on the skirt. It represents Chinatown but without being cheesy.


This dress I LOVE!!! It is slightly avant garde but still wearable. The inspiration was a paper dragon in a window display. Anthony always makes dramatic dresses.




Emilio and Seth Aaron had Harlem.

The day look is very Urban. I love that Seth created a whole look, even a hat. The look is completely Harlem.


Emilio made a vintage 40's Harlem look. It looks vintage but with a modern look with the yellow under the dress.


These designers are the top four, no doubt!!


I have a fashion question that I need help with. This is my Easter dress. I love it but I don't know what color shoes to wear with it. This is going to be a hard color to match. I do have some nude strappy shoes that just blend into my skin tone so I was thinking about wearing those. Any thoughts would be great!!!


I also want to cheer on my Tigers! They play Ole Miss tonight for the second round of the NIT tournament! Go Tigers!!!


Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Wishful Wednesday . . . Lottery

'I wish' .... I could win the lottery REAL soon, and I would buy vacation homes!

I love traveling so I would want to buy a beach house so I could enjoy some sun anytime I wanted. I would also buy a townhouse in New York. Candice told me about her idea for this because she goes to New York a lot and loves it. I have never been but I love brodway shows so I would buy a house there so I could go and see the shows when ever!! I also would probably throw in a new car for me as well. I would love to get a Lexus SUV. Of course all these things would come after giving to my church and some missions that are close to my heart, JIFF and FCA camps for inner city schools!

Last week I missed Wishful Wednesday since I was in the middle of the ocean but it was so fun I thought I would just write about it this week!

'I wish' I could wear a wedding gown similar to Jessica Simpson's dress on my wedding day!

Jessica's dress we beautiful! It was full with out looking like she was a giant cotten ball. haha! The dress was all lace, which I am in LOVE with. I think it is just gorgeous!

And now that I have my wedding dress my next wish is coming true on April 19th! I am going to meet the man that I am going to marry! haha! This one right here!

My parents both went to Union University in Jackson TN so they got invited to a Golf and Gala event where Tim Tebow is the keynote speaker! I am so excited!! Momma and I bought our tickets last night. I am not sure if I will actually get to meet him, I kinda doubt it but I am still really really excited!
