I have a love affair with shoes. Plain and simple. Shoes can make or break an outfit. I'm dying for double and triple stacked platforms right now. I'm 5'2'' people, without heels I'll get lost in a crowd!
Gah!
Baby Heels
Hot Pink Hotness
The stuff dreams are made of.
Classic
So chic
Double platform love
Jeans and heels
Triple platform heaven
Sometimes I still wear mine around the house.
BONUS: My sexy reds from my wedding day :)

They say it's the little things in life that matter the most. This week I have a bushel of little things that are a direct result of my mojo. The holiday weekend and a short work week are a perfect combination.
1. My Saturday night was spent at a comedy show in town where a friend of ours was the headliner. His name is Mike Stanley and he is hilarious.
2. Sunday was spent at a friends families house on the lake and is was absolutely gorgeous out. This is a picture that my friends dad took of his tattoo that day. It's amazing.
3. I got my Style Mint shirt yesterday and I love it! Can't wait til next month.
4. I found a new blog online that I officially adore. The Daily Julie is witty, stylish and adorable.
6. Plymouth's Art in The Park starts tomorrow! I love living 3 blocks from downtown Plymouth and being able to walk to these great events through out the year.
7. On the 4th of July, DJ and I went to go see Lynard Skynard at Pine Knob. It was the perfect end to the weekend.
8. Yesterday I came home and DJ surprised me with the best dinner! It's the best to come home to a homemade dinner prepared by my man.
9. Saturday started off with bloody marys at Vivio's in downtown Detroit followed by an afternoon of shopping at Eastern Market with my best friend. Once I got to unload my goodies, DJ and I soaked up some sun at my mother-in-laws. She made us the most delicious daiquiris. I have the best family.
10. Today I got to spend a quite day off sitting on my couch with my two fur babies by my side, reading Room by Emma Donoghue. My friend Nikki recommended it to me and it's one of those books that's incredibly hard to put down.
Like I said, nothing big happened, but a lot of little, awesome things make me so grateful. Enjoy your weekend!
In honor of of this past weekend, which besides being America's birthday, was also my husband and I's anniversary weekend. Not our wedding anniversary, but rather the anniversary of when we first began dating. It feels like a life time ago when I kissed my husband for the first time, under a bridge in Torch Lake, MI. We couldn't help ourselves. We left the group to make a run to the party store and in just a few blocks I had already fallen head over heels. We leaned in and kissed a sweet tender kiss and just as it was getting real good...a car drove past and honked the horn. I happened to be wearing only bikini bottoms and a t-shirt, so DJ yelled, "Yeah, yeah, I know she looks hot." Can you say romantic? ;)
Just teasing, it was both romantic and memorable and started the best relationship of my entire life. DJ has made me into the woman I am today. I owe everything to him. He is generous, smart, funny, handsome and treats me better than anyone has before. I love my David James. Here's to spending the rest of my life with my better half.
It takes two baybay.

And the Olsen twins are launching Style Mint tomorrow!
Let me first start by saying that I have a fondness for Mary Kate and Ashley that dates all the way back to the days of Full House and straight to video movies. I walked around saying, "You got it dude." after nearly everything my mom said. As the years have gone by my love hasn't dwindled and I will never believe all the gross rumors. Above all else, their style is on point. Anyone that says otherwise is insane. They are gorgeous and unique.

I wonder if they get as annoyed as I do when people get them mixed up...This is Ashley...

The t-shirts are only $29.99 and shipping is free! After your first purchase you will officially be a member and each month new t-shirts are recommended to you. I signed up in advance and got early access today. I purchased my first Olsen styled t-shirt.
I can't wait to get it and I don't know how I'm going to wait until next months suggestions and it's not even July!
Love...

If you haven't joined Pinterest you're not having any fun. I'm in love with pinning and seeing what other pin on their inspiration boards. Not to mention if you're looking for decorating, DIY, recipe or fashion ideas, or even if you're just in the mood to sift through some awesome photos you can look no further than Pinterest. Enjoy!

Holy cow people, I think summer is finally here! After the longest winter ever, mother nature basically skipped right past spring and fired up summa-time and I couldn't be happier! THIS is the kind of weather I signed up for! Bring on the heat and sun. I don't mind the sweat or the humidity. You will never hear me complain about heat. EVER!
*On a side note I have a major pet peeve with people that capitalize the wrong words in sentences when they're trying to make a point. Capitalize correctly pwease ;) *
With all this excellent weather, my man piece and I made major strides on the new house. It looks amazing and I was so happy to have our friends, family and neighbors over for a bbq this weekend. Planning a small party for people to see the new house really kicked us into high gear. We refinished just about every piece of furniture we own. It all looks so good. And not to toot my own horn, but *toot*toot* because I also hand sewed all of our curtains. ( I know, right?!) Anyway I really wish I had played photographer a little during the party, but it's tough to be the hostess-with-the-mostest. I plan to post pictures this week. (I promised my friend Mrs. Worlow) Until then, I'll be recovering from a perfect weekend and listening to Adele because I'm currently obsessed with her insanely sick voice & beauty.

There is nothing like a much needed movie night. A night to relax and cozy up with my husband and fur babies. It's exactly what I need after the past two weeks. I have been a crabasaurus rex and I'm already feeling better after a movie and early dinner date with one of my favorite girls, followed by a stack of new releases in my jams on the couch. A movie night is good for the soul.
