<br />
So yesterday I went to Whole Foods after work to grab some stuff and the bagger chick told me that she loved my outfit and that I was really cute! So because that made my day and there was actually a little time when I got home, I decided to snap a few photos with my new iPhone. I did it super quick, so don't judge.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Could she have been talking about my shoes? (Payless a million years ago)</div><br />

Just a few pictures that I wanted to post from a wedding I went to Halloween weekend in Memphis. They had a photo booth set up. I just love those! I wish I had thought of it when I got married. Though 5 years ago they weren't as popular nor did things like <a href="https://pinterest.com/athienel/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> exist to give me great ideas! :o)<br />

That's me and my brother. I've got on a dress from a local boutique, target belt & tights, and wedges from Macy's. It was really cold that night and the wedding was all outside, but we still had fun!<br />

So anyway. It's a sweater, vest, & dress from F21. Jeans from H&M. Boots Frye. Nothing is new. Everything is real old. Except that picture in the background. That's new. You might remember a post from this summer where I stood in front of this wall, but it was just white. Now it's got that pretty picture!<br />
<br />
Anyway. I appreciate you reading! I've had a few new people stop by and leave some really sweet comments. That's what inspired me to post. I really appreciate all the comments. It makes me want to do a better job at keeping up with this blog. Maybe that'll be my new year's resolution! But in the mean time, thanks for stopping by!</div>Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08197377998810815025noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661797335038886979.post-741768875757901392011-06-25T12:00:00.002-05:002011-06-25T12:00:00.728-05:00RandomHere's a random outfit from last week. I tried to take pictures and got frustrated. So these are the only two that turned out. It's too bad because I really liked the outfit. However, I ended up changing my shirt to the striped one from UO to go out. I got rained on in the Mississippi shirt.<br />

We are finally getting settled into our new place! It feels like home now. We love it so much. I thought that the balcony was going to be a good spot to get photos, but it doesn't really get enough sun during the day. Maybe it would be better earlier in the morning. So that's why these are inside. Which I kind of like because of the white walls. Well I say white. They are more of a natural color I guess.<br />

So we are getting ourselves ready for our anniversary trip to Greece! We leave on Wednesday!! It totally snuck up on me. I just can't believe it's so close! It doesn't feel real.<br />

But it's real! We are really leaving for 3 weeks on Wednesday!! So crazy. It's going to be a great, relaxing trip. That's why I'm particularly glad we are settled in our new place. That way we will have a home to come home to that feels cozy. <br />

Belt is from UO and the shoes are from Target. We're getting settled into our new place. That's where these pictures are taken. I feel like I can get better shots out here. So I tried playing with my camera a little.<br />

I meant to post this a LONG time ago. This was a Christmas present I made. See I told you it's a lot late. <br />
<br />
When I was helping my brother move to Chicago last summer (crazy that he's almost been there a year!), his gf had this broken bowl on the front porch. I asked a couple of times if I should throw it away. She told me that she really wanted to try to fix it. It was in a million pieces. Apparently it was a bowl from her childhood and it had special meaning to her. Finally, she decided that she would just keep a piece and throw the rest away. I told her I would also keep a piece and see if I could do something with it. So here's the piece I kept.<br />
<br />

So I got some supplies. Mostly the wire was the important part. I wanted to put a hole in it, but I also didn't want to break the piece because it was the only one I had.<br />
<br />

I did sand the edges because there was a few rough spots. But mostly I just wrapped the wire around in an interesting way.<br />

I thought it turned out pretty well! It makes me want to try harder jewelry. I think the rings I make are pretty easy. I think it would be fun to make more interesting pieces. Here's the necklace on me.<br />

I had a longer chain at first, but I thought it look better on a shorter chain because it was such a large charm.

Did you miss me? It's been entirely too long! This semester has been crazy busy. No excuse, I know, but still. So I'm officially out of school as of yesterday!! Now I can give this blog some attention! I've got lots of ideas for projects and outfits. I think this will finally be the summer I start selling my rings! My hair stylist just opened her own spot and offered to sell my rings in her shop!! So now I have to get to making them hardcore. Along with this venture, I also want to get my etsy shop up and running officially. I've got some big trips planned this summer. Starting next weekend with an anniversary trip! Hard to believe it's been 5 years!!<br />
<br />
So there's a little mini update for you, just mostly to let you know I'm still alive and haven't forgotten about my blog! Expect some major stuff coming soon! So with out further adieu here's a lovely video to tell you how I feel right now! Enjoy!<br />

And I did get to make him a special breakfast this morning before he left. So hopefully he enjoyed that! :o)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I have two projects going on for Christmas. One I can't show you yet because it's a very special gift. I'll show you after I give it just in case the person reads this blog. The other is this new ring I made yesterday!<br />
<br />

It feels so 80s to me. I guess it's the hot pink and the black. It's so Madonna or Cyndi Lauper.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This ring is a gift for my brother-in-law's girlfriend. She is very cute and I think she'll rock this ring well! I think it's her style.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One last note. I got my hair cut and colored yesterday! It's much darker and looks amazing! Hopefully I can get myself together and take a few outfit posts so you can see it. I really do wear cool stuff that I want to show you guys! I just need a photographer or a tripod or something. Maybe I just need to not be lazy and figure it out myself! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

They're from <a href="http://warbyparker.com/">warbyparker.com</a> which is just a fabulous company! They let you try on frames at home, for free! You can try on 5 at a time. I ended up doing it twice. And this is what I ended up with...<br />

I think they are fabulous! Don't you?? I also today revived an old favorite pair of shoes. I'm excited that I did because it's going to change my current wardrobe so much! Just a great update I think!<br />

So now it's time for Christmas! I can't believe that I just started my Christmas break today! It's so crazy! Wow, I just realized I have used a ton of exclamation points in this post. Better chill a bit. So to celebrate the beginning of break, I leave you with my favorite Christmas song of all time...Enjoy!<br />

I found this recipe for a "Magic Cleaner" somewhere, either on the internet or in my Green Clean <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Green-Clean-Environmentally-Sound-Cleaning/dp/1595910042/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1280351145&sr=1-1">book</a>. Anyway, I thought I would share it with you guys and it's also a way for me to stop having to find the sliver of paper I wrote the recipe on every time I need it!<br />

Magic Cleaner<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<div>2 tablespoons vinegar</div><div>1 teaspoon borax</div><div><br />
</div><div>mix above with very hot water to dissolve borax</div><div><br />
</div><div>then add 1/4 cup castile soap (like Dr. Bronner's)</div><div><br />
</div><div>then I usually add a few drops of essential oils like tea tree & orange (about 5 drops of each give or take)</div><div><br />
</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">It truly is a great cleaner! I mix it up in an old spray bottle. If you try it let me know how you like it! Happy cleaning!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I've got to get back to it!

Drumroll, please! I'm going to attempt an outfit post today...Bear in mind, I took these pictures myself with a timer. It was uber challenging.

So I've redesigned the blog a little bit. What do you think?! I'm really liking it. It's more of what I envisioned when i started it, but I just didn't really know how to do it. So, I figured it out! I'm still working on the layout a little bit and the heading picture needs to be resized. I'll figure it out though.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5TNRRFnIAk7h4-SG_P6LklDHr37jqINMOhhBK4ESBeEOmO7a_1Sz0KfccH1X9wWz56769pXRey1lBTYVMbDj06e1tHx3UwgMkNNwdefU-YDPe-DcLBaGzfFxgxjyz2BVh3ja8EErQ_YI/s1600/buttons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="397" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5TNRRFnIAk7h4-SG_P6LklDHr37jqINMOhhBK4ESBeEOmO7a_1Sz0KfccH1X9wWz56769pXRey1lBTYVMbDj06e1tHx3UwgMkNNwdefU-YDPe-DcLBaGzfFxgxjyz2BVh3ja8EErQ_YI/s400/buttons.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
This is the picture I want to use. Maybe I'll get to.<br />
<br />
Also, I add a mix pod. It's got a few of the songs/videos I really like. I might add more to it. Be honest though, is that annoying? Should a blog have music like that? I just really like the idea of having background noise while your reading and looking at pictures. If it sucks, I'll get rid of it. <br />
<br />
One last thing. When I was making the mix pod, I remembered this video. It's such a fun video! It's by the <a href="http://www.yarddogsroadshow.com/">Yard Dogs Road Show</a> which is one of the coolest shows/concerts I have ever been to. If you ever get a chance to see them you totally should! The video is so 70s! It's rad! Wait, that's the 80s... It's GROOVY!! :o)<br />
<br />
Enjoy your day!<br />

So while I was at home killing some time I decided that I really wanted to make another skirt. I went to Goodwill a few days ago and bought another shirt to try to make the dress shirt skirt again. So I was ready!<br />
<br />

I did the same things I did last time, but this time I cut from armpit to armpit. I didn't worry about the pocket. And here it is in the mirror...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So cute!!!!!!! I was so excited! I ended up having to sew one of the extra buttons on the bottom to keep it classy. This made me a little late, but I didn't care! I put it on and it fit! I knew right away to add this cute belt I got from Urban Outfitters on sale and a yellow tanktop I got from Arden B. Love it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I guess this could be an outfit post. It's a start...I'll eventually get some courage and someone to take pictures for me...However, hubby did take that picture for me. Maybe I'll rope him in... :o)Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08197377998810815025noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661797335038886979.post-76602260265421725132010-07-19T14:31:00.000-05:002010-07-19T14:31:46.684-05:00Fathoms Below<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">I was in Virginia Beach this weekend. Super great time! We went deep see fishing...something I have been really been wanting to do for a long time. Well about two hours after we got on the boat, I took a nap. When I woke up, I got sea sick. All that keep going through my mind the whole time I was getting sick and trying to keep my eyes closed like the Mate said was this scene from the Little Mermaid...</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><br />

</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">I was definitely Grimsby in that scene! If you've ever been sea sick, you know how I felt. If you haven't, trust me it is a feeling you NEVER want to have.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">Well anyway. I survived and I'm back this week. In between packing and cleaning I definitely plan to work on some more projects. I'm actually about to go start one now! Hope everyone had a great weekend and is having a great Monday!</span></span></div>Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08197377998810815025noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661797335038886979.post-50026772830511810892010-07-12T17:29:00.001-05:002010-07-21T13:52:17.032-05:00Pretty in PlaidSo I finally did it! I finished my skirt project. It didn't take nearly as long as I thought. And it was super easy!<br />
<br />
I started with an old shirt of my husband...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj76Xd3TZKXQmHywCK3dujgLZ-nPTrM0iuvZESkBcG_nunEGrs72XEws-N_puHdjnG_NTowEG98vFbqRi-u9T3Qt8-KE5mOmlp1w1sW0TygF1mclkz2PzHJwJiPxOBtyhZk-bczMo_tHRo/s1600/IMAG0082.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj76Xd3TZKXQmHywCK3dujgLZ-nPTrM0iuvZESkBcG_nunEGrs72XEws-N_puHdjnG_NTowEG98vFbqRi-u9T3Qt8-KE5mOmlp1w1sW0TygF1mclkz2PzHJwJiPxOBtyhZk-bczMo_tHRo/s640/IMAG0082.jpg" width="382" /></a></div><br />
My idea was to follow the instructions I found in Megan's <a href="http://megannielsen.com/2010/06/diy-fridays-how-to-make-a-skirt-from-a-mens-button-shirt.html">blog</a>. She is so cute and so talented! Well because my shirt had pockets, I couldn't cut from arm pit to arm pit. So I had to cut a little higher and then sew the sleeve a little. Then I sewed the top over about 1 1/2 inch because I only had 1/2 inch elastic. Then I slipped the elastic in, sew the ends together, and then sewed the hole. Viola!<br />
<br />
A skirt!<br />
