<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my oldest friends is getting married next month and she asked me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
specifically if I had any ideas for bridesmaids gifts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My response was "Yes! Lots!".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here in the South, monograms are a must!<br />
Seriously, people will put their initials on anything. (<a href="http://stephaniegropper.blogspot.com/2012/10/monogram-madness.html">see post here</a>).<br />

What was your favorite gift as a bridesmaid?</div>

I have always wanted to have a house that has an exposed brick wall. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It just adds so much character and gives it a real historic feel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being that our house is brand new, we don't have the option of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tearing out old walls and finding a beautiful hidden brick treasure. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what did we do? We created our own!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was this awkward wall between our kitchen and living room</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I just wasn't sure what to do with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(This was after we tore the trim off and started the process)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Was it the kitchen? Was it the living room?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't sure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I knew I wanted to accent it somehow. Wallpaper, accent paint color, picture wall?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is where my husband took a deep breath and braced himself for what was about to come.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He loves it when I search for ideas :)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brick!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We looked around all of the home improvement stores for the brick veneer tiles and it was SUPER expensive. This wall isn't that big - about 100 square feet. With the brick veneer tiles that they sell, it was going to cost about $1000! Not what we wanted to spend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, being our frugal selves, we decided that we would make our own brick veneer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were lucky enough to be given all of these beautiful bricks!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

and cut them. We cut both sides off of them. So we got 2 veneer pieces from each brick.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am soooo happy that it is finally Spring!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know what you're thinking - what do YOU, a Southerner, know about Winter?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You're absolutely right. We haven't had it nearly as bad as others but this Winter has been brutal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean - a two day ice storm, come on! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We just don't know how to handle that craziness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are all in desperate need of a little sunshine and warmer weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't believe that it is already April. With that being said, we better all get ready for the rain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey, I'll take rain over ice any day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With rain on the way, umbrellas are a must!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can we just pause a moment to talk about that?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't usually like to carry one. I'd almost rather have wet hair and soggy clothes than carry an umbrella.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm just not really coordinated enough to carry one I guess.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm ok as long as I'm just walking along but don't throw any other tasks at me. <br />
Oh, and as long as no one walks beside me. Yea, watch your eyes.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just hate the getting in and out of the car thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is the proper way to do that any way? I still haven't figured it out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just awkwardly hover my umbrella over the car door, of course dripping water all over the panel of my door. Then somehow I'm suppose to figure out how to slip my way into the car? Yes, that always ends with me getting my butt and back wet. Anyone else? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then comes the hard part -- how in the world do you close the umbrella?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not just me right??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, having sloppy/frizzy hair isn't always an option so I am forced to carry an umbrella at some times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if I've got to do it, here are a few umbrellas that might add some style to my clumsiness...</div>

First of all - please excuse these horrible cell phone pictures. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Secondly, this bathroom is quite possibly the smallest room in the world so getting a full picture of the room was completely out of the question. So this corner is pretty much all you're gonna get.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You'll get the idea though and see this corner go through quite the transformation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our half-bath was very basic to start. There were just plain walls painted with flat beige paint. There was no crown molding or trim of any kind. So we pretty much started from scratch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My handy husband (Dan) started out by taking everything out of the room. That included the toilet and the pedestal sink. Like I said, very basic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dan made board and batting with MDF (medium density fiberboard). This is a pretty inexpensive building material that is a lot smoother than wood. The only downfall would be that it makes a crazy mess when cutting it with a table saw. I swear I'm still cleaning it out of our garage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once we had the look we wanted, the nail holes had to be filled in with putty and sanded down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMa3ttF5g727TYo0WMd7jGpyHMvNK81Dh8NpyQPPWQiUpXQcL6gUTOecaETQcJ_O7z9xlCTMJZmTHIq47dihF-T_K8K_pjA3R7n8XU-dfyfZB9QoP02yiVVtd2YVI-BXvTkqI7pHHHkEI/s1600/20131215_091020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMa3ttF5g727TYo0WMd7jGpyHMvNK81Dh8NpyQPPWQiUpXQcL6gUTOecaETQcJ_O7z9xlCTMJZmTHIq47dihF-T_K8K_pjA3R7n8XU-dfyfZB9QoP02yiVVtd2YVI-BXvTkqI7pHHHkEI/s1600/20131215_091020.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, time for paint!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once the board and batting was painted, we painted the whole room white.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCMKlD_ovd3T4Re3NCcuMFKpt4XjnYmQUHGHBz4KhOCOJHSOsy1RlyxFxbKyUaOtVljnv3H_CfjVXPzNYRqDUu1J6ZpOrC3ScN6Kd1nhO4JHFfGQqJQkHV52mR-pgVAZ4jbU4LsRUJNJY/s1600/20131215_192416.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCMKlD_ovd3T4Re3NCcuMFKpt4XjnYmQUHGHBz4KhOCOJHSOsy1RlyxFxbKyUaOtVljnv3H_CfjVXPzNYRqDUu1J6ZpOrC3ScN6Kd1nhO4JHFfGQqJQkHV52mR-pgVAZ4jbU4LsRUJNJY/s1600/20131215_192416.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now it was time to start with the stencil!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew that I wanted to do something special with this halfbath, I just wasn't sure what.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I originally wanted to do wallpaper but I couldn't get over how expensive wallpaper can be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's when I came across <a href="http://www.cuttingedgestencils.com/" target="_blank">Cutting Edge Stencil's website</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There were so many cool stencils to choose from! This site is great.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found the <a href="http://www.cuttingedgestencils.com/allover-stencil.html" target="_blank">trellis stencil</a> and instantly fell in love! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was just what I was looking for. And get this...only $39.95!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You pay for your stencil once and you can use it over and over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
People are using these stencils on walls, ceilings, furniture, and even curtains.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here is how it started...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Ibp2ZEqRzdEzxEVkYjEuQuSRP0WoJG9b7CPCsnc0ena76jK5BX8zCZUz6yoEePZSaRFejdTbVTS15OIwe-lM3gGYsY_VQqFXqm_QoGAPuP1TOcpTn6MjH0-OEuQwMO9mXKZJUay7ijg/s1600/20131216_170413.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Ibp2ZEqRzdEzxEVkYjEuQuSRP0WoJG9b7CPCsnc0ena76jK5BX8zCZUz6yoEePZSaRFejdTbVTS15OIwe-lM3gGYsY_VQqFXqm_QoGAPuP1TOcpTn6MjH0-OEuQwMO9mXKZJUay7ijg/s1600/20131216_170413.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was pretty tedious work, I'm not going to deny that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you aren't sure how it works, check out one of their tutorial videos <a href="http://www.cuttingedgestencils.com/how-to-stencil-videos.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

With my husband and I just celebrating our two year wedding anniversary, I was inspired to create that wedding blog post that I've been thinking about for years now (two years to be exact).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were married in beautiful Savannah, Georgia at the <a href="http://www.chsgeorgia.org/Railroad-Museum.html" target="_blank">Georgia State Railroad Museum</a> (formerly known as the Roundhouse Railroad Museum). This couldn't have been a more perfect setting for our taste. We knew that we wanted to do something with a rustic/vintage feel. When we visited this venue and I saw the free standing old brick walls in the courtyard I was instantly sold. I immediately starting picturing how every single detail would play out. We are what you might call "DIYers" or even cheap at some times. My husband and I both like to take inspiration from numerous places and then create our own version. So this rough around the edges, no where close to being perfect setting was just what we were looking for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was planning my wedding right at the start of Pinterest, aka "the wedding planner's crack". So you can only imagine how many hours were spent on this site searching and digging for ideas for our perfect wedding. Just typing the words 'rustic wedding' into the search engine on Pinterest had my eyes lighting up, my heart pounding, and my future husband's hammer moving :) I planned every single detail from the appetizers at our rehearsal dinner to the length of the sparkler at our exit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With all of that being said, this wedding was my 'baby' and I am proud to show you the end result.</div>
<br />

Weddings should be very personal to who the people are as a couple. My husband and I think we did a great job of representing who we are. Happy Anniversary Dan. Here's to many more years together!</div>

Aren't these the coolest trees ever!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This street is about a mile away from my house</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I find every excuse that I can to drive down it as much as possible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is just something so serene about these trees. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also love the shadows that it creates when</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the sun tries to peak through. It really is so pretty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't this blazer a beauty?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was sent this blazer by <a href="http://warehouse.andotherbrands.com/?lng=en-US&ctry=US&" target="_blank">Warehouse</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you haven't heard of them then you should check them out for sure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://warehouse%20and%20other%20brands/" target="_blank">Warehouse and other brands</a> have collections that are</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
similar to the style of high end designers but at a much lower price.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Their brands include <a href="http://warehouse.andotherbrands.com/?lng=en-US&ctry=US&" target="_blank">Warehouse</a>, <a href="http://oasis.andotherbrands.com/jackets-coats?lng=en-US&ctry=US" target="_blank">Oasis</a>, and <a href="http://coast.andotherbrands.com/?lng=en-US&ctry=US" target="_blank">Coast</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Three great brands on one site!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Check them out <a href="http://warehouse%20and%20other%20brands/" target="_blank">here</a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had quite the weekend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am OFFICIALLY done with school!! Yay!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I graduated from college this weekend</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with a bachelors degree in Fashion Merchandising.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has definitely been a long road but I</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
am so proud of myself for finally accomplishing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
what I have said I wanted to do since I was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in middle school. Check!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!</div>

Have
you ever had that special moment where you find the absolute perfect pair of
jeans and you suddenly have to buy a pair in every wash available? That’s what
wearing a pair of <a href="http://www.viziooptic.com/ray-ban-sunglasses">Ray
Ban sunglasses</a> can be like. The iconic frame is flattering on just about
everyone and can be the ultimate fashion accessory. Some people just buy one
pair of sunglasses and wear them with everything, but where’s the fun in that?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Eyewear
makes a major fashion statement- it shows off facets of your personality and
since we all have different sides to ourselves, why not have different
sunglasses to match our moods (and our outfits)? Ray Ban has done an excellent
job reinventing its most iconic frames throughout the years with artistic
patterns, bold color combinations, and new lens options, and the Wayfarer has
gone through hundreds of these iterations keeping it relevant and on trend.Here
are a few of our favorites.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">
1.<span style="font-size: 9px;"> </span>Ray Ban Original Wayfarer 2140 c. 1138-85 - Part
of the Limited Edition Surf’s Up collection, this style has a cool wooden
finish that fits right in with the trend of organic-looking eyewear. The inside
pattern is inspired by surf culture so you can ride the wave of good fashion
all season long.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">2. Ray Ban Original Wayfarer 2140 c.1109-32 – This
geometric design shows that Ray Ban isn’t afraid of color. Little windows of
bright hues look like stained glass and shine bright in the sun thanks to the
transparent acetate frame.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">3.</span><span style="font-size: 9px; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Ray Ban Original Wayfarer 2140 c.1140 – Also
part of the Surf collection, the green frame is on trend as Pantone’s color of
the year. Brown B-15 lenses absorb 85% of light to keep your eyes free from
harm and are perfect for better vision in low-light conditions.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">4. Ray Ban Original Wayfarer 2140 c.1115 - From one
of the brand’s best-selling collections, this cartoon-p</span><a href="" name="_GoBack" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"></a><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">atterned
frame features all of the great things that make London a great city, from the
famed London Eye to Big Ben and the Union Jack.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">5. Ray Ban Folding Wayfarer 4105 c.6020/17 – The
Folding Wayfarer is a convenient little accessory, available in several great
colors – but we like blue the best, especially because it comes with crystal
blue mirror lenses to match. The crystal helps deflect UV rays, while the
mirror reduces glare and makes you look laid-back and cool as a cucumber.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know, I know...it's January.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, I am craving the beach so much that I just</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
decided to go today. Even if that meant fighting the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wind and the cold. And, yes, it was freezing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pros about going to the beach in the cold...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
no crowds and the parking is incredible!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't judge the position of my hair in these pics.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, it was very windy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The main culprit of my craving for the beach would have to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
be these super cute sandals that were sent to me from <a href="http://fibiandclo.com/" target="_blank">fibi & clo</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fibi & clo is an amazing shoe company out of New York. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have an amazing selection of sandals that are</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
super cute and oh so comfortable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Michael and AnaLiza started this company from the back</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of a pick-up truck in 2009. Their story is so cute. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

And <a href="http://www.jimenaramon.com/#!product/zoom65b/380300441/Peridot%20on%20Metal%20Chain" target="_blank">this</a> super cute necklace was sent to me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by Jimena. She has a jewelry shop called <a href="http://www.jimenaramon.com/" target="_blank">JMR</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has very cute and unique stuff that is custom made.</div>

With Valentine's Day creeping up right around the corner, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I definitely have pink on the brain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This picture of the pink-lined street really helped with that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not sure where it is but I definitely want to go!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#10 has been patiently waiting in my "shopping cart" for weeks now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it would be a perfect dress for a V-day date night with my hubby :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
What about you? Do you have an outfit picked out yet??</div>

This outfit kind of mixes comfort with sparkle and even a little bit of edge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really liked the idea of pairing a comfy sweater with my "leather" pants to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
kind of break up the coziness and make it a little more chic.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm kind of obsessing over weekender bags lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always find myself looking for one and I'm not even planning a trip or anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These bags are so tempting and really makes me want to pack up</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and travel somewhere very soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When it comes to a weekender bag, I think the more manly the better!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Weird, right? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's just something about that worn brown leather that has me crushing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some of my faves...<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, I realize it isn't even February yet but don't you just hate it when you find </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
great ideas a little too late? I sure do! I wanted to put together a "style guide" for </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Valentine's Day to help you be prepared in advance. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whether you have a hot date or not, I think it's fun to be festive</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and join in on the festivities. Let's face it, no one likes a bitter single girl :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was totally "that girl" at some point.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are my ideas of how to make the best of this holiday...<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is no secret that I shop at Forever21. It is also no secret that I am NOT 21. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I refuse to pass up the deals at this store just because I am not the age</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the models that wear the clothes on their site. I think that it's all about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how you put these pieces together. I like to take basics from this store, as well as</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a few statement pieces, and make them work with my style and my look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's be honest, Forever21 has made a great name for themselves because they</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
imitate labels like Chanel and Alexander Wang and then offer that item at a fraction of the price.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Forever21 also <strike>copies</strike> recreates looks from other stores like Zara. I have found</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
many pieces that were an exact dupe of these items and they were less</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
than half the price. See <a href="http://stephaniegropper.blogspot.com/2012/09/zarahigh-to-low-find.html" target="_blank">this post</a> for an example.<br />
<br />
With all of this being said, I wanted to prove my point by showing<br />
you some things from Forever21 that I think are great.<br />
So great, that they are all waiting patiently in my "cart".<br />

I'm starting to notice a leopard trend...oops!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was so excited to find a package waiting for me from <a href="http://www.pbj-shop.com/" target="_blank">PB&J Boutique</a> when I got</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
back home from our Christmas stay in Pittsburgh. PB&J gave me this very comfy maxi dress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The fabric is so soft and comfortable. I could literally wear this dress to bed.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry for the scarf repeat...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Obviously, I am really loving this tartan scarf.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the pattern is perfect for the Winter/Holiday season.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day after Christmas, we had quite the snow day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a non-Yankee, I was super excited!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so in love with how the pine trees look when they are covered in snow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These boots are some of my favorites of all time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was browsing around on Facebook one day when <a href="http://www.fabrikstyle.com/" target="_blank">Fab'rik</a> posted</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
these beauties. I immediately called them and bought them over the phone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.fabrikstyle.com/" target="_blank">Fab'rik</a> Savannah is great about posting their new arrivals on Facebook </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as soon as they get them in. So, be sure to check them out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fabriksavannah?fref=ts" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

We are finally back in the South where land is flat and the ground is green.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My husband is from Pittsburgh so we were spending Christmas with his family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love being able to experience the Holidays in the North. It really makes it feel</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
more like Christmas when you wake up to the ground covered in snow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another thing that I was loving about the weather, I was finally able to break out </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my heavy coats and warm accessories. I don't exactly have much need for</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a wool coat in Savannah. So, I made sure to pull out all the stops...scarves, gloves, tights, and coats!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This coat was given to me by my wonderful hubby for Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was the perfect gift for a southern girl in the snow :)</div>
