Another cute and simple gift to make are these Sharpie Mugs I recently made.
They are super Easy and Cheap! Get 2 mugs from the Dollar Store and pick up some Sharpies.

Figure our what you want to draw on them and get started. I always find a font a like and try to mimic that which is a lot easier than it sounds!After your crafty hand is finished with the sharp preheat your Oven to 375 degrees for 30 minutes and ta da! Finished!

Do not put in the dishwasher it will come off:( Just hand wash these precious mugs.)

Beautiful Movies for a Rainy Day

Don't rainy days make you just want to cozy up on the couch and watch a good movie? I would love to know how much goes into making a movie the costumes, the sets, and the extras!

Is anyone inspired by movies they have seen? I am constantly. Here are some of my favorites!

Marie Antoinette

One of my most favorite movies is Marie Antoinette with Kristen Dunst. Have you seen this Movie. The costumes, scenery, and the desserts they are all so fabulous. Sophia Coppola really knows how to produce a movie.

 Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events

For some reason when i first watch this movie the scenery just really captivated me. I'm sure they used a green screen for most of it but still the imagination that went into creating this movie. It's dark and mystical.

I just saw the preview for  OZ The Great and Powerful the costumes and the sets are so inspiring. Such vibrant colors.

Reorganize Time...

Besides losing weight getting organized is the most popular New Years resolution. And let's face it we could all use a little help in this department.


While hunting for the best ways to organize my closet I have to admit just reading the posts made me tired.
Each blog kept telling me to empty out everything in my closet and start from scratch except this blog which I  found the most helpful.

Another tip which seemed a little corny but actually helped me get into more of an organized mood was sketching out my closet space. The Creativity Exchange has this handy little worksheet that includes a place to sketch out your space along with some great questions!

Throughout my digging I discovered most people of expertise tell you to organize your closet one of three ways:
1. By color- making your closet fun to look at and hopefully will inspire you to keep it that way.

2. By style- meaning all dresses together, all tops together etc in hopes of making your clothing more shoppable each morning.

3. Or finally a few blogs said to sort your clothing by activity for example: all workout gear together, all dressy clothes together and so on and so fourth. Does anyone else think that one sounds weird?

My closet currently is organized by style and I think I'm going to go for color this go round just to spice things up. How do you ladies organize your closets? I'd love to know!!  Here's to hoping my closet gets the pick me up I'm looking for!

The five pairs of shoes you need in your closet...

First off if you don't have a pair of nude heels by now you are behind and need to run not walk to your nearest shoe store and get two or three pairs to make up for your tardiness...Ok not really but they are that big of a must have! They make your legs look so much longer and who wouldn't want to have legs for days like this girl?

you can find gems like these just about anywhere now but I've found Target and Nine West have the best deals and last the longest.

Unlike the nude heel the next shoe is more of a fun must have than an essential staple. I think every woman should have a fun printed flat in their closet? Why? Because it's always fun to style an outfit around a pair of shoes like the ones below and you are bound to get compliments if you pull it off correctly.




We all knew boots would be on this list but I have a few pointers for you before you purchase your next pair of riding boots! Tip number one: get a pair that is a little loose on your calves and tip number two: get a pair with a little bit of a heel of wedge. Both of these tips will help your legs look skinnier and longer especially in the
 winter when you aren't feeling your skinniest. These are some of my favorite styles.

Going along the boot theme every woman needs a cute pair of rain boots. We like Hunters Boots mostly because of all of the cute boot sock options!

To complete the perfect shoe collection every lady should have a nice wedge. I like rocking my wedges with jeans and blouses pretty much every other day! Is there any other shoe you think is a must have? Let us know! 

Choosing the best color for your skin tone.

Besides the cut of your clothing color may be the most important element of choosing the best pieces to have in your wardrobe. After doing some research we narrowed the thousands of tips we found to just a few simple steps.

Step 1. Start with a clean face and your hair pulled back.

Step 2. Find a pure white towel or any other white material you can get your hands on and wrap it around your face.

Step 3. Here's the fun part- With the towel wrapped around your face like a crazy person take a look in the mirror. Besides a beauty you should see either shades like grey, pink, blue,or violet if so you have cool undertones. If you see shades of gold, green, yellow, or taupe you my friend have warm undertones.

Now that you know what undertones you have we wanted to show you some examples.We gathered a few celebrity pictures from people.com and compared both shades.

Here are some leading ladies with cool undertones.

For cool undertones try wearing jewel tones like these:

Here are a few people you might know with warm tones.

For ladies with warm undertones try neutral shades like these:

Hope you found this helpful!
