My husband and I went to a VW car show in Sevierville this morning and it was a chilly, overcast day. He was loving the cooler weather while I was dressed in layers! I love seeing the leaves change colors and fall to the earth. I also love the smells of Autumn, like hot apple cider, cinnamon raisin oatmeal cookies, and pumpkin pie. I also love the comfy sweaters, the colorful scarfs, and the stylish boots that accompany this cooler season. October, which is my husband’s favorite month, is a special month for us because my husband and I got married 14 years […]
My Week in Pins
I was asked this week, “Are you from here?”, meaning if I was from Tennessee. “No,” I said. “I’m from Texas.” This is my response… always! I only spent about 16 years (from age 6 months to age 16) in the great state of Texas. Then I spent two years in Biloxi, Miss., but I’ve lived in Tennessee the longest. I explain to those who ask, “I grew up just outside of Lubbock, in the small town of Levelland. Then we moved to Biloxi when my dad transferred from Reese AFB to Keesler AFB. Then in 1991, I moved to Cleveland, Tennessee, to […]
My Week in Pins
Ahhh…. Love is in the air! Today, 9/22/2012, is my parent’s 45th anniversary. Last week my friend, Tricia, and her husband, Bryan, celebrated 20 years together. My cousin Nathan and his wife, Laurie, celebrated 15 years together this month as well. So in honor of them and in honor of love in general, I thought I’d give this week in pins a romantical theme. The secret for a good marriage… Here’s a text message that every girl would be thrilled to get… Who knew that the left ring finger was the only finger that has a vein that connects to […]
The September Issue
Every year, millions of fashionistas (almost all women, and some men) wait patiently for Vogue magazine’s “September Issue”. This year was no different, with the industry’s “fashion Bible” touting “916 pages of spectacular fall fashion for all”! And of course I was one of those millions who purchased the September issue with a certain level of expectation that there would truly be a wide array of “fall fashion for all”, meaning fall fashion that anyone and everyone could afford. First let me say that the issue didn’t even begin until page 76, which showed the first “table of contents”. Yes, I’m saying […]
My Week in Pins… Nailed It!
In browsing Pinterest this week, I’ve been seeing some really cool nail polish colors and designs. So this week in pins, I decided to show off several different nail polish colors and styles that I’m really digging. These stylish nail colors can be worn for work and play! On a personal note, I’m currently wearing OPI Pink of Hearts 2012 – “You Glitter Be Good to Me” and “I Think in Pink”. Go to “The PolishAholic” to check out her review of the Pink of Hearts duo. I’m also a fan of OPI “I’m Not Really A Waitress” (red) and […]
