Conversation #40: Fit to be tied!

Do you love accessories? I love necklaces, but bracelets seem to annoy me. Bags are my fourth love (God, Husband, Family, purses), and lately I have been eyeing the scarf. I bought one last winter from Coldwater Creek that I had so much fun trying to style.

It is loooooooooooooooong, and bright, and soft. It is made out of the softest knit, and I just want to swim in it sometimes. Here is a picture (mine is a bit brighter):

I recently just purchased three more in green, orange, and blue because they were marked down to $6.99 with a 25% mark down. Then I got an additional 20% off and free shipping! I can’t wait to wear them. While choosing which colors I wanted to purchase, I saw a link that said “Six ways to tie a Scarf.” I was intrigued and clicked through to find this:

This is only the first way – but you should check them all out here.

Some of the ways are fairly well-known, but I love the added flair of 2 on a classic (way 1). I also like 4 and 6 too! Which are your favorites?

A Conversation about Babies

(Picture from here .) I think everyone I know has just had a baby, is going to have a baby, or wants to have a baby! Is there something wrong with me? I want children, with my whole heart. I really look forward to being a mom someday and more and more I hope to be able to stay home with my children. The thing is, I can wait right now. I don’t have baby fever. I feel too young. I’m only 25 – how could I possibly know how to care for a child yet; I can barely take care of my husband, dog, and me. I guess what I’m wondering is should that itch be there? Should I be craving to be a mother? Does this mean my maternal instincts are off? I just feel like an older (and hopefully more mature and less selfish) version of me would make a better mother. Plus, the husband isn’t even out of law school yet! I think about my future children: their looks, personality. In my dreams I love being pregnant (I hope that is true, but the labor part still terrifies me). I know I’ll love sewing l

Conversation #123: Open to Interpretation

First, I apologize for two posts today. The other one was supposed to post yesterday. I wrote it during lunch, but it didn't post properly. Oh well. So I started reading Kayla's blog during her last wardrobe challenge, and I loved it. I also loved when she and Amy and Erica started doing this series called Open to Interpretation. I have no idea why, but I never thought of taking an outfit I saw in a catalog or a magazine and then recreating it or something like it with what I already own. This has really helped me not only stretch my closet but also push me to try some new fashiony things (without going out to spend a ton of money). Here is the photo inspiration (I just copied it from Kayla's blog): And here is my interpretation: Outfit breakdown: Sweater - Old Navy, $8 Striped Shirt - LOFT (from the event last week), $20 Pink pants - JCPenney, Juniors section (don't tell Stacey and Clinton), $10 Leather Oxfords - J.Jill, $30 Mine is pretty close to j

Conversation #19: A blast from the past – Monday Movie Review

Ever since the hubby and I ended our blockbuster subscription, we have really not watched too many movies. Honestly, he has been so busy that we just haven’t had the time. However, my amazing in-laws have been entertaining me during this bar exam review time, and we went to see the Sorcerer’s Apprentice on Saturday. (Picture from here .) I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was exciting and thrilling, and in my opinion, I’m not sure I would take a really young child to it (maybe 10 and older…) It kept my attention, and I don’t think that it drug on too long either. Sometimes I think these epic type movies go on and on and on, but this ended at a nice time, and it had the most adorable bulldog in the cast, too! I definitely recommend it! (Picture from here .) We also recently watched The Paper Chase . I guess this movie itself is kind of blast from the past – 1973 to be exact. Our neighbor actually dropped it in our mailbox as a gift. Have I mentioned that we have
