This and That

I came across the above image over on Pinterest and tracked it down to this video over at House and Home...seriously, check out what this designer did with just 400 square feet ~ so incredibly inspiring!

We have a few "dressy" events on the calendar this fall, to know me is to know how much I dread putting on a dress... I just bought this chic and flattering black jumpsuit - now I just need to work up the nerve to actually wear it!

Speaking of nerve, I can't get enough of Jersey Belle on Bravo! I'm a born and bred New Yorker (soon to be Connecitut-er?) with a soft spot for all things Southern (monograms, mint juleps, drawls and fancy china, just to name a few) I feel like this show was tailor made for me! I love how the "Jersey girl" protagonist, Jamie, has a great sense of humor and is completely self aware...yes, I do realize that I'm breaking down a reality show like it's Shakespeare...

And, speaking of break downs, I'm completely overwhelmed with our upcoming move, the start of the school year (and endless after school activities for my three kids) running this blog, the store, etc.,  I'm trying out a new system to stay on top of things and hopefully be more organized (ie. an old school portable paper calendar/planner) I'd love to hear what works for you?! Have a great weekend!
