A Sad Farewell.



This past week, I said goodbye to a beloved article of clothing. My gray Toms. They served me very well, and were some of the most comfy shoes I have ever worn. As you can see from the picture below, they were worn out!


I am waiting until the weather is a little nicer to buy myself a new pair {and Nordstrom never has my size in stock!} I am debating about what color my next pair should be. Should I stick with my favorite color- gray, or should I switch it up and do something crazy?

Thoughts? tell me.

As of lately... Felt Flower Bouquet of Goodness!


Well, as of lately life has been SO crazy!!! With school, stats, school, Praxis exam (this Saturday!!!), Mid terms, and the rest of life. I really do love it though.

So, I am taking a flower arranging class with my roommate Rachel- we are working on our mom skills ;) We have made a few arrangements, boutonnieres, etc. Our latest project was an everlasting arrangement... {aka a fake flowers) So, we shopped around and just couldn't find anything that we loved for a good price. Fake flowers just look so fake. So I had this idea and we created and succeeded.

We made this arrangement all out of felt. I love how it turned out, just how I pictured it, and it is just what our cute apartment needed!

I also gave myself straight bangs last week. I am turning artsy!
