See it & Steal it
I own a lot of black clothing. A well cared for black garment can last many years, making it a timeless piece. Black pairs well with bold colors, it’s slimming and always creates a sophisticated look.
When I saw this outfit on Pinterest, I knew I’d be duplicating it. I don’t know about you but sometimes looking for inspiration on my fashion board makes me feel like I need to...

Goodbye Sweets
Ash Wednesday was yesterday meaning the Lenten season is here once again.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always given something up for Lent. When I was younger I would give up soda, which was always a challenge. One year I gave up time and used it to do daily devotionals. Last year I gave up cookies-my preferred choice of baked goods.
This year, I tossed around the idea of giving up social...

I’ve been Pinned!
How was your weekend? Mine was too quick since, unlike my husband, I had to work on President’s Day. But I managed to cram as much fun filled stuff as possible into my two days off! On Sunday we met up with some friends for brunch. Such an adult thing to do, have brunch- don’t you think?
One of my friends is about a month away from having her first baby and unfortunately I wasn’t able to make her...

Knit Layers
Perhaps it’s my inner 80’s child calling but when I saw leg warmers on clearance earlier this week I knew I needed to buy them.
I’m not really sure how you wear leg warmers. I really should have paid attention to the packaging before I took the tags off. Then it dawned me that I don’t even know what you wear leg warmers with.. only visions of Flashdance came to mind.
I decided to wear mine with a...

Sweetheart Failure
Remember a few weeks ago when I announced my February race for the Runelation? Well apparently the stars were lined against me and that 5k. This was a Sweetheart Fail.
Failure #1:
The Sweetheart Shuffle was actually Sunday February 12 and not Saturday. Good thing I decided to check out the deats Thursday afternoon. Totally would have shown up on the wrong day. I even marked it on ALL my calendars...

About the shop: I sell handmade greeting cards and other paper goods for all occasions
What’s your story, how did you get started?
I started selling cards to support my paper addiction. I had a shoebox full of cards and nothing to do with them. I started listing items on ETSY and it grew from there. I really do this for stress relief. I...

Kickin' it in red!
Happy Friday!
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but I’ve been trying to add more fashion posts up in hurrr. I think I’m more into buying collecting clothes then fashion itself but one things for sure I love piecing together outfits.
Since most runway looks make me nervous..

Like what’s going on here? I’m totally clueless.
…Thank goodness there are awesome fashion bloggers out there...

Extra Special February Run
Hey guess what? It’s February. Month 2 of 12 in my Runelation. And this month’s race is extra special.
About two weeks ago I bated my pretty eyes at the husband and said “do you want to do a Valentine’s 5k with me?” There was some hesitation when I told him the race is outside but his final decision was “that sounds like fun”. Maybe he’s hopping on the Runelation train with me?
There are two...

February Goals: Crafty
Before I jump in on my goals to tackle this month, let’s recap how I did last month!
January definitely tested me. We had a small house fire (caution, be careful with gas torches), we both spent a week sick, we lost some siding off our house when it was windy like crazy, and unfortunately some close people passed away. There will always be highs and lows in life- and thankfully January...
