Sunday Social 6/23/13

        I had to call this post something, and it should be more like "Good Lord, where have I been?!"  Seriously, my only excuse can be that my life got in the way and I'm going to do better!  

       I figured what better way to get back into the swing of things than by joining Ashley and Neely for their weekly Sunday Social link up?  I love those ladies and they are great, so if you haven't already, check them out!!!

Here's the questions for this week:
1.  What is your favorite store to shop at?
I love Target, of course.  I also adore J.Crew, Nordstrom, Forever 21, Loft, and Anthropologie.  
2.  If you could afford anything and everything, which designer brand would you covet?
I don't think I can say only one!  I love Tory Burch, Louis Vuitton, Alice + Olivia, and anything by the late, great Alexander McQueen!!!

3.  What is your must-have closet staple?
A great pair of riding boots, skinny jeans and a classic blazer!

4.  What is your favorite kind of shoes?  (Brand or Type)
I live for anything by Frye.  They are great and super comfortable.   I'm already looking forward to fall so I can get my boots and leggings back out!

5.  What is the best clothing deal you have ever gotten?  (Sale or amazing find)
Can we just say that it happened very recently?  My mom finally handed over her awesome Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 from the late 80's.  It's literally in perfect condition and will be loved by me forever!  
Ahhhhhhh!

6. What is a style that you'd love to try?  
I'm loving all the fun printed pants I've seen all season!  Nothing screams summer like they do!!!  These from Nordstrom are pricey, but are great inspiration for your awesome look!!!

These are all about movies!

1. What is your favorite movie of all time?

2. What is your favorite movie quote?

DIY Burlap Bubble Wreath

Happy Thursday, ya'll!  I wanted to share a fun and beautiful project that I recently completed.  If you know me, you know that I love wreaths.  I love having an excuse to make a new one.  Any holiday is acceptable and fair game.  The best for me, is making one for someone that I love.  This Bubble Burlap wreath is perfect for spring and warmer weather.  I love how versatile burlap is and I have used it for many things.  


Materials Needed:

• 1 14" Straw Wrapped Wreath
• 3 Yards of Burlap
• 1 Bag of Floral Pins
• 1 Roll of 4" Zebra Burlap Wire-Edged Ribbon
• 1 Roll of 5 1/2" Sage colored burlap

Step 1:

Cut Burlap into 5x5" squares.

Step 2:

Once cut, fold each square in half to make a triangle.

Step 3:

Fold the triangle in half, and bring the left corner to the front.

Step 4:

Fold the right corner to the back of the triangle.

Step 5:

Take the floral pin and insert it through the corners that you just brought together at the bottom of the triangle.

Step 6:

Press the pin firmly into the Straw Wrapped wreath.  

Step 7:

Continue Steps 1-6 until the entire wreath is covered.  Fill in with burlap squares until your desired look is achieved.  

Step 8:

Add the colored burlap and pin as you go around the wreath.  Cover the colored burlap with the Zebra ribbon and pin in the same places until you've gone all the way around the wreath. Finish up by tying a large bow and securing it at the bottom of the wreath with floral pins.  Add an option letter to the wreath for embellishment.

This was such a fun project and I can't wait to surprise my friend with this at her baby shower next month!

I hope you all have a great day!
