Dog Sitting

My brother is out of town for the week so I am dog sitting until Friday. I love having Stella around. How could you resist this face anyway?

You can never have too many shoes right?

So I have been eyeing this fabulous Tory Burch wedges for months now but I didn't want to spend the money. I finally gave in today and ordered them from Neiman Marcus, they had free shipping so I couldn't resist. I can't wait until they get here. I think I could wear them everyday.

Before & After

I kept thinking my kitchen needed a little something to spice it up.

I kept searching for things to fix it and then I found some incredible silk fabric on sale that was in the same color palatte as my walls. So I had drapes made. I think it turned out well. Now I just have to find some fabric for my living room but it's just so expensive so I am searching..

I love the beach

I haven't been on a real vacation in years, working and going to the beach doesnt count.. so I decided it was time for a vacation. So I ended up going to Charleston, South Carolina. It is so beautiful there and the weather is so nice. I absolutely fell in love with the city. I went down there to visit an old friend and since he lives there I had my own personal tour guide. I was the there for a week and I even ended up staying an extra night because we were having so much fun. My favorite part of the whole trip was when we took his boat out on the water and visited different islands . It was relaxing and peaceful. Here are few pictures from that day. This first picture is just of the inner harbor. I love all the sea grass there. This is where anchored the boat and layed out in the sun. This is capers island. A beautiful sunset. My captain/ tour guide aka KevinIt was so windy on the front of the boat.

It's officially fall

I apologize for my lack of blogging. I am really trying to update more often. I have been working alot here lately and so I have neglected my house. I came home on Sunday to find my front yard looking like a jungle. I worked in the yard for almost 6 hours on Monday and mind you I don't have a very big yard. I raked leaves, mowed the yard, and even weed eated ( is that a word). The joys of owning a home. The next project is to decorate for fall. I'll have pictures soon!

Who needs a handyman anyway?

I woke up this morning to a soaking wet bathroom floor. Somehow my toilet had overflowed all over the floor and was leaking in my basement. Now that I don't live in an apartment anymore I can't call for their handyman to come fix my toilet. So I called my dad and he told me what I needed to do to fix it so off I went to Home Depot. The men in Home Depot looked at me like I was crazy in there buying plumbing supplies. I came home and fixed the problem. I was so proud of myself. Who needs a handyman when I have myself?

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Well it's that time again.. Time for me to head back to work. I'm off to Chicago to sit reserve, which means I am on call tomorrow morning, so there is no telling where I'll end up tomorrow night. Hopefully it will be somewhere warm and sunny!
