Mmmmmmmmm. I've kind of been obsessed with LEMONADE lately. Chick-Fil-A has the BEST lemonade - and it comes in a yummy diet version, too. I started looking up yummy homemade lemonades on Pinterest and found some that look A-MA-ZING. Here in Utah, the weather is warm, the outdoors are calling my name, and you'll definitely be able to find me mixing up some of these yummy summer lemonades in the next few months. Do you have a favorite lemonade recipe or restaurant that serves your fave lemonade? Let me know in the comments! Enjoy this sweet roundup!

The little black dress

      , , , , , , ,      No comments   

We’re all chasing and working for the future so desperately, we sometimes forget to enjoy the little, perfect instants in our present. I know I do! Fortunately I have my glimpses of clarity when I look upon moments and things and see their true worth and beauty.

This past Saturday was one of those days. I just got dressed up for no particular reason and went out! I wore this amazing black dress and just let myself feel good because beautiful clothes excite me!
    

And right now I’m all about this little black dress with a twist – I adore the unusual asymmetric cut and the sultry layering that lets me show off my legs without looking trashy. Even better – the dress is made here in Romania in a little workshop called Miss Grey. They create wonderful, tailored clothes with a very feminine touch. The little number I have on fits me like a glove - so much so, I didn’t even feel the need to wear it with the cute gold belt it come with.


My obsession for the Irresistible Me hair extensions I ranted about in my previous article is still going strong. This time I attempted an ombre effect meets “in your face” highlights and I actually love the result. These extensions have actually revived my passion for experimenting with different hairdos and hair styles – I finally have enough hair to attempt some of the amazing things I collected on my Pinterest boards.


Am atat de multe to do-uri pe lista, incat imi este din ce in ce mai greu sa ma bucur de lucrurile simple.

Imi dau seama ca aproape toti alergam cu disperare dupa viitor care in mintea noasta este mereu mai bun decat prezentul pentru ca-i imaginat din toate visele si sperantele noastre. In goana asta uitam sa ne bucuram de acum si aici-ul cu micile lui momente perfecte. Se mai intampla insa sa-mi vina si mintea la cap! Rar, dar se intampla!

Sambata trecut a fost una dintre zilele de claritate. M-am gatit fara niciun motiv si am iesit sa  ma plimb prin oras. Fara un motiv anume - in afara de poze! Nu pot fie o visatoare fara griji pana la capat! Si-mi plac si lucurile frumoase, nu doar momentele.

Imi place rochia asta neagra ca-i simpla si complicata exact ca mine si, in plus, imi vine ca turnata. Ideea cu straturile transparente - foarte in trend acum -  iar imi place pentru ca-i sexy, fara sa fie vulgara. Faptul ca-i creata si cusuta intr-un atelier romanesc sub brandul Miss Grey este inca un plus. Chiar am fost in vizita la showroom-ul Miss Grey si au o multime de rochii superbe pe care le gasiti in magazinul online care livreaza in toata tara, dar si pe pagina lor de Facebook! Abia astept sa incerc si rochia verde, lunga pana-n pamant si sa v-o arat si aici pe blog. Nu stiu cum sunteti voi, dar hainele frumoase ma fac fericita – sunt  ca un pretext de joaca si de evadare pentru oameni mari.


Dupa cum vedeti obsesia cu extensiile Irresistible Me continua. De data asta am incercat ceva diferit – am folosit o combinatie de culori (white blonde si medium brown) pentru un efect instant de highlights amestecat cu un soi de ombre. Nu stiu ce-i cu mine, dar au  mi-au reinviat pasiunea pentru par si acum am chef sa le folosesc tot timpul ca sa pun in prcatica tot felul de idei adunate de pe Pinterest si Youtube.

 I’m wearing:
little black dress/ rochie - Miss Grey (here)
  pumps / pantofi - Asos
  silver bracelets / bratari - Topshop
hair extensions / extensii -  Irresistible Me (here)
 clutch / geanta - random brand
earrings /cercei - here
 


Shadow Box Frame Makeover

      , ,      No comments   

Hello friends! Happy Monday! I hope everyone's weekend was amazing. We spent a lot of time with family, took Ava on her first pony ride {she LOVED IT!} and the best part? We found a home! A home we want to buy! And live in forever! It is amazing, and I had that "this is the one!" feeling while walking through it. I cried when we walked out to the backyard, because it felt like our home. We've just gone through so many homes that weren't going to work out and lost a couple from offers not working out, too, so going through this one was just the best experience. Cross your fingers they accept our offer!

Today, I've got a home decor DIY that would go great in a new home, an old home, an apartment and everything in-between! I originally shared this post on Belle of the Kitchen. At Target {of course} I found some discounted shadow box frames. The one in the picture below is super similar to the ones I bought, except the inside part was NEON YELLOW. Not that I don't love me some neon, but it wouldn't work with my home's color scheme. I decided to buy the frames anyway, since they were so cheap, and do a little burlap makeover to make it an interchangeable picture frame. Read on to see how easy it was!




You only need a few supplies for this fun project: Shadow Box Frame, Burlap {or other fabric of choice}, hot glue gun and a clip of some sort. That's it!

Tip: Craft stores often have great picture frames sales. Get the store's app on your phone for coupons, too!


There are only 3 steps!
First, remove the back {the part with the stand} of the shadow box frame. Cut your piece of fabric to cover the front and fold over an inch or so over the back. Hot glue the fabric in place. It doesn't need to be pretty - no one's going to see the back! Second, hot glue your clip to the front of fabric. Third, attach your fave photo or printable quote to the clip, replace the backing, and you're done!!


I made 3 of these frames, since it was so easy. I loved the burlap fabric, but also thought a fun floral or stripe pattern would be cute with a fave printable or quote. You could frame kids' artwork or family photos, too! I love that they have the simplicity of a regular picture frame, but the dimension of a shadow box. I put photos of the most recent vacation we went on. These frames are awesome, because you can change out the photos whenever you want!
