Farm Dreamin

I have always dreamed of living on a little old farm with my little old husband in a little old dress. Perhaps this dress can get me started? Now I just need to snatch up a man with a darling farm! So to you non-existent husband I say this:

1.) We will have rocking chairs. 

2.) Please wear suspenders.

3.)Perhaps a barn as well?

4.) I would just love a tire swing.

5.) I'm looking forward to it. See you in a few years.

Love, 

Mallory

DIY: Bright Idea

                                  BEFORE         AFTER

 When you go to this thing called "college" you apparently must have a lamp of sorts. With funding low, I went to Home Again consignment, where I had a 40.00 dollar credit from selling furniture there previously. It was there I found my grandma lamp. Can't you see your 80 year old grandma sipping tea by this lamp? Cause I could. I bought it because of the fabulous and unique base that I knew I could turn into something really fun.

I purchased the lamp for 20.00 dollars, but with my credit it cost me nothing. Between spray paint (3.00) and a new, much more simple and modern shade (6.00) this little lady only cost me 9 DOLLA!!! HOLA!!! 

 

I highly recommend thrifting for lamps, I have found that most times vintage lamps have the best and most unique bases for the best price. It is also important to remember while thrifting that it's all about the potential of an item, not it's current state! I hope I have given you a "bright" idea this monday morn! 

Sunday Sunshine: It Will All Work Out

Sometimes we just need to know things will be ok. My favorite blogger of ALL time, Stephanie Nielsen is the perfect example of that. Enjoy the video, I hope it fills your Sunday with Sunshine:)

Fashion Inspiration: Kate Middelton

I'm going through the great fashion depression...also known as, I don't know what to put on my body. So my idol/obsession Kate is in today and will be posting about her oh so fashionable life:

(please read in british accent) Well hello there dahlings! I just love to stroll about in pretty dresses. Most especially, Alexander Mcqueen. Whether it's tea at Buckingham Palace or simply embarking off of a royal plane, I love to always have a sense of class about the way I dress. And doesn't William look oh so dapper in his suit? What a cute bum. Oh dear...I have tea with the queen! The queen does not wait! Ta ta for now! 

Yes I just impersonated Kate Middelton. This must really be The Great Fasion Depression.

Manic Monday: Madelyne

Shirt: Shabby Apple/ Skirt: GAP/ Earrings: Downeast home/

Shoes: DSW/ Suitcase: Vintage

My brain rarely functions on a Monday morn...so I am starting "Manic Monday" where some of my favorite people can feature how THEY like to dress! To start off our series we have Madels, AKA my sister, and of course, the bangles original music video, manic monday. How could this post be complete without it? 
I know this was out of her comfort zone but doesn't she look fabulous!? Take it away Madels...

HELLO! For those of you who don't know me, dressing up and posing for pictures is not one of my everyday activities. I am definitely the kind of girl that loves pony tails and t-shirts, along with goofy poses and silly faces, so this my blogger people, shows what a great friend I am! Ok, just kidding, it was actually pretty fun, but when Mal asked me to be on her blog, I was definitely nervous. To ease my fears, I went with one of my favorite, simple, dressed-up outfits. Once I was dressed, we stole one of my mom's vintage suitcases and headed for the mountains. As always, It's an adventure with me and Mal. She's trying to get me to not look so awkward while I'm trying to balance on a wobbly suitcase while surrounded by weeds and the stance looks of mountain goers who were passing by. I'm sure it appeared as quite the circus act. But that's just our friendship for ya! Thanks for reading!

Sunday Sunshine: Lover of Love

“... What really matters is that he will love you,that he will respect you, that he will honor you, that he will be absolutely true to you, that he will give you the freedom of expression and let you fly in the development of your own talents. He is not going to be perfect, but if he is kind and thoughtful, if he knows how to work and earn a living, if he is honest and full of faith, the chances are you will not go wrong, that you will be immensely happy.”- Gordon B. Hinckley 

I'm a self proclaimed lover of love. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever find that "perfect" love. Unfortunately life isn't a Disney movie.But this quote gives me hope that when we try, when we love, we can get pretty darn close, and maybe even a little bit better. 

May your Sunday be full of sunshine:)
