Along with the wonderful weather starts the wedding season! This is an outfit that I wore last Sunday at a Civil Ceremony. This dress with a simple design in a charming color, was my choice for that event and I have to thank to In love with fashion.com  for this wonderful gift.
I hope you like it !

and the lovely and creative Vicky at Decor & Harmony featured me on her Coast to Coast Creativity series.


Now all I need is for Brad Pitt to return my phone call and I've got one banner day!

Thanks ladies for putting a smile on my face.

                                                                                       3. Envelope Clutch:Diana Warner/ Here  
                                                                                       4. Sandals: Boutique 9/Here 
                                                                                       5.Necklace: Adia Kibur/ Here
                                                                      6. Sun cream SPF 30: Thalgo/ Here 
                                                                      7. Top: Topshop/ Here                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                       8. Dress: Topshop/Here

The upholstery bug bit me again and I blame Craigslist. I found these chairs for an incredible steal ($25 for BOTH) and I couldn't pass them up. The lady was as nice as could be. They were her mother's chairs and have sat in her garage for months. They "just weren't my style" she told me. Well, they are my style lady. Me and your 95 year old mother.


These will be easy peasy compared to the couch and I'm wanting some fun fabric this time.

AND, I'm going to try the cushions myself as I also scored a sewing machine on Saturday at a garage sale. Never been opened, brand new. Raise the roof to that people! Keep in mind I don't have the first clue how to sew, but I'll worry about that small technicality later.

The bulk of the weekend however was working on the deck. And aside from a few flower pots we're done. My house's reverse mullet has officially been cut. Stay tuned for the reveal.

How was your weekend? Anything exciting to report? Anyone know of any wonderful fabric sales going on?

Brown trousers, sandals and a DIY necklace and clutch was my plan  to complement this top and create a new outfit .

I used to be a fan of Restoration Hardware. For a long time, I had a hookup to 'Resto' and enjoyed a healthy discount. And believe me, I used it. I've gotten a number of things from them over the years - from the paint color in my living room to my old dining room table.

But just like your senile aunt, I think Restoration Hardware has finally lost their marbles.

It was crazy enough when Resto started making all of their furniture to fit the Jolly Green Giant, but now we have this.

Are you kidding me?

Not only is the 'deconstructed' part rough to the touch but I felt that fabric in the store people and it is nothing but muslin. You know, the fabric they use on Project Runway as their template...before they sew on the real fabric.

I think this came from a dare at Restoration Hardware headquarters. At happy hour one night and they started playing the 'would people buy it' game. Crazy Herb from accounting said, "just take our existing chairs and pull the fabric off." Oh Herb!

Save yourself $1600. If you are interested in a chair like this, I'll be happy to pull something off the side of the road for you and just rip the upholstery off.

What do you think? Are you picking up what Restoration is throwing down? And don't let my subtle opinion influence you in any way. :)
