You are my sunshine!


As of late, spring has been taking full effect here in the South. So, in order to embrace the fiery love of the sun, we are putting away all of our dark wintery clothes and slipping into lighter, brighter pieces. Here are a few things we are loving right now.

These are so cute, and the linen fabric with breathe wonderfully.

She looks fierce and colorful in her fiery ensemble.

Simple, but when paired with colorful bangles... adorable!

Happy Birthday Anna!

Happy Birthday Anna, enjoy every moment of your special day! Today you are another year older, you are another year wiser, and you've got so many beautiful years of your life ahead of you. Someone once said, "A birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun. Enjoy the trip." I hope only the best for you on your next journey. Have a wonderful birthday (eat lots of cake for me)!

What a natural

Who cares? It's cute!
Cute, comfy, and way affordable; denim is our new craze!

Trying to look cute everyday is overrated. On those days when 'fairy princess' doesn't come to mind as you stand in front of your wardrobe, let your hair be natural and try a denim shirt. Add a touch of lipgloss, and people will admire you're natural beauty.

A cheap denim shirt can be found at Target stores for under $20.

What Women Need is a Dream

 "I realized that fashion is not about second skin. It's not the perfect white shirt or camel jacket. What women need is a dream." -Alber Elbaz

These women have taken the Elbaz route, meaning that in the midst of all the trends, the must haves, and the classic pieces they have found their home in the fashion world. They've reached the "dream" by having fun while playing dress up and taking chances with the clothes they wear.

Boredom


I read this quote the other day and it inspired me to live more exuberantly than ever before; therefore, I am packing up my boredom and his wife laziness plus their kids loneliness and pity, and putting them in a coffin, hopefully never to see again. Why spend time being bored when I could be belting out my favorite songs or writing a poem or making cookies? Why has this quote not come to me sooner? I guess you could call this my new life-motto.

Astrology

Maybe horoscopes are just superstition, maybe they're magic, maybe they're the best thing ever! Either way, we always know what is in our stars (well, according to Marie Claire magazine).
You Only Live Once; by Whorechata. Print for sale at Urban Outfitters $15
Aries:
[March 21-April 19]
Try to stay focused on one special event [birthday party perhaps?] because you won't have much time with your busy work schedule. Don't stress though, today is going to be a good day for you.

Taurus:
[April 20-May 20]
Don't worry about new changes, you'll be inspired by them. You may want to worry about a few of your coworkers... things might get a little awkward, so stay away at all cost.

Gemini:
[May 21-June 20]
Work should be easy breezy this month. Take all of that extra time to plan a fancy date for you and your beau.

Cancer:
[June 21-July 22]
Been stuck in a rut at work? No worries, a promotion is coming up. If not, try taking an opening somewhere else.

Leo:
[July 23-August 22]
Try something new and you'll surprise yourself! Work may be a little tense, but things will be great between you and your beau.

Virgo:
[August 23-September 22]
It's nice to treat others every now and then, but that pocket change is disappearing fast! You may gain it back at work when you're colleague hands over a new client.

Libra:
[September 23-October 22]
Chaos is coming. People are expecting a lot from you and there may be some shocking news at work. Try to stay calm and focused.


Scorpio:
[October 23-November 21]
Use your powers of persuasion for good and help sort out problems between your friends. Be sure to pay attention; you never know when a handsome stranger could sweep you off your feet!

Sagittarius:
[November 22-December 21]
Get a jump start on spring cleaning (if you haven't already). Try to stay tame at work, but feel free to let loose on one of your many dates coming up!

Capricorn:
[December 22-January 19]
Things will be going good at work, so take time to plan a trip! To the beach or lake house? Anywhere warm will do.

Aquarius:
[January 20-February 18]
Nothing can kill your mood! You'll be all smiles at work, with your new man, and everywhere else.

Pisces:
[February 19-March 20]
Having a bad week already? Don't stress, things are looking good for you on the 28th. Don't even worry about splurging on a few things, money isn't an issue right now!

So Long to the Big City


Today we depart from the city, wishing we had another week (and another load of money) to spend in Atlanta. The past few days, the city has been a wonderland for us and we would just like to say thank you to all the people who made our trip memorable, that is the animals at the zoo -- esp. giraffes --, friends who we don't see enough, our families, and Alice and Lucy -- two guinea pigs who left pee on Molly. But while we are sad to depart, we will gladly take some inspiration from the city with us. Au revoir!
