Black Heels and Tractor Wheels, and Lots of Love.

#1: I'm quite cynical about love, nowadays. It happens. But the other day, I let my mom in on the best real-life love story I've ever read; therefore, I've started reading the 40 +/- chapters all over again! If you've been hiding underneath a rock, I have to expose you to the light! That's right, it's Pioneer Woman's Black Heels to Tractor Wheels! To put it bluntly, it makes you believe in love all over again. Some days I want to believe that I don't believe in love, relationships and marriage anymore. But that would be L Y I N G to you {and myself} if I said so. Check it out!!


#2: I'm such a Southern Belle. Completely and utterly loyal to tradition, simplicity, the outdoors and class when it comes to WEDDINGS. Which is why I fell head-over-heels with Southern Weddings Magazine the first time I stumbled upon their blog. Based out of Durham, NC., SW's Magazine= big things that come out of small packages!
And with a logo like this:

I can't think of ONE Southern girl I know who wouldn't fall in love! Great ideas, helpful tips,    amazing resources and photography I want to learn to create myself! Just sharing the love! There's a little bit of something for everyone AND great ideas for anyone... even us single ladies!


#3: Browsing the aisles of my local TJ Maxx tonight, while looking for my mother a Christmas present {I'm a last minute Christmas shopper, driving myself crazy} I found a diamond in the rough!! If I wasn't a broke college student {who has no use for silver serving platters, during this season of life} I would have snatched up this deal. I couldn't find the exact piece on the Kate Spade website. Just imagine the etched bow of ribbon on a silver platter! In love.


#4: I'm not sure I've ever mentioned {on my blog} our family dog {a boy} named FlipFlop! No, I didn't name him. No, I'd never admit if I named him Flip Flop either. Anyway, since Flip is such a BIG part of my immediate family. And I'm the ONLY child, so we have to find something entertaining to do on Christmas morning! Of all things Christmas, I'm most excited about this:



Flip unwraps his very own presents. Enough said.



Merry Christmas Week!
