Fabulous Friday Finds - Here's hoping my refund gets here soon
Friday, January 27, 2012
Hello lovelies!!
It's here again, Friday that is, well that and tax season. I am anxiously awaiting my tax refund so I can pay a large chunk of a credit card off...that and I really need to get a better way to hold my shoes!! Because the bookshelves aren't working...it doesn't help that my closet is just awful!!
On another note, finally I have a search bar again on Pinterest, so I can include some things from there today! Did anyone else have that issue?
Whatcha got going on for this weekend?
I'm pet sitting Griffin and Bella again...I'm going to try to get a much better photo of the Ol' Giant Griffin this time!!
Pinterest - Well these are just divine...now if only I could track down some birdcages that don't cost and arm and a leg!
Pinterest - Swooooon!! If I had a ceiling tall enough for even 3 mirrors like this I would try it. So so pretty!
Pinterest - Seriously?? I NEED this!!!
Pinterest - What a great idea!! I've never even considered this simple fix for boots!
May the Odds Be in Your Favor Bracelet - So I finished the first book in the Hunger Games series. And...I'm obsessed. Two more to go! And needless to say...if you're a HG fan...chances are good you will like this beauty!
Any pins you are loving this week? What is your name on pinterest?? I'd love to check out your boards! (You can find me over there on the right hand side - look for the roses!)
Talk to you soon!
A Brief Departure from It's a Love/Hate Thing to say...
Thursday, January 26, 2012
Thank you.
I truly appreciate everyone who stops by my little blog to read whatever craziness I have to say or whatever cat pictures I have to post.
And thank you for the comments. I really do smile every time I get a little email that says someone commented. Even better if I can respond to them...because if you comment and you have an email attached to your blogger profile...you know good and well I will respond whether you want me to or not!
I've "met" so many amazing ladies because of blogging and I seriously cannot wait to meet so many more!
*Here's looking at you Laura!*

You guys are seriously the BEST!!
Random Wednesday #10 - Bears, Books, Kittens, and...vacuums?
Wednesday, January 25, 2012
Is it Friday yet? Some weeks just take forever to go by and this my friends is one of them.
Partly because now that I FINALLY started reading The Hunger Games...I feel like I need to devote a day to sit and read it. Last night I was up until almost one in the morning reading and I have to get up at 5:45 to get ready for work! Yikes! I need to get up to speed so I don't have to worry about reading something that gives something big away!! It's like Twilight ALL over again...I refused to read the books because of how much people talked about them (hello hard headed!) Then I had to read them ASAP once the movie came out.
What are you reading now? Anything you just can't put down?
READ ME! - Okay I want to ask if you would be interested in reading about where I shop online when it comes to clothes, make up, shoes, and misc. items and how I hunt for bargains. If so, I plan on posting about it next Tuesday, if not...I'll probably still post it : )
I told you...these posts are random...about as random as the thoughts that pop into my head!
Okay some photos!
So this is an older photo (hence my black hair), apparently I never shared all my photos from the Lightner Museum in St. Augustine, FL. This is a giant bear in the middle of the room. We're BFF's now...he just doesn't know it.
Yep, cats everywhere, even as a tear away calendar at work. Yay cats!
This is Eli. My friend Sonia and I went to the humane society over the weekend to find her baby Jane kitten a new friend. Little Eli was the chosen one. He's a sweet Manx mix so he has no tail and it's adorable. I'm officially the God Kitty Mama for each of her kittens : )
Hands down my favorite thrifted cardigan. I love the sleeves and the detail. Love at first sight I tell you! PS - the skirt (and necklace) is thrifted too just not the same day!
Does the vacuum section at your Target come with the option for a ceramic horse head? Mine does.
Seriously...I was in love with these when I ordered them but when they were delivered...I was obsessed. Let me tell you one thing. If you don't want attention...don't wear these in public!
Another photo of new lipstick. I went back and bought two more lip butters from the ColorBurst line. This one is a mix of the Cotton Candy and Lollipop. I'm hooked!
So my other half and I went to Panera for dinner last night and I ordered the Mediterranean Salmon Salad...they brought this...and I had to double check that I was at Panera. They seriously stepped up their game with food...it was gorgeous and enormous!!
That's it I think for this week...I don't want to over-photo you.
If you follow me on instagram (sewsavoirfaire) there may have been some duplicates! If you have an instagram leave me your name!
Talk to you soon!
What I Wore - *Denim Dreaming from Chantilly*
Monday, January 23, 2012
First off, I want to say a big hello to the amazing new followers that jumped aboard this crazy train recently, thanks for joining me on this crazy journey called life!
Secondly, how was your weekend?
I went another round at my hairdresser trying to get rid of the remaining black in my hair. Unfortunately, what's left, will just have to grow out. So hopefully before TOO long I can have one solid hair color...until then it's red with hint of black/brown!
Oh and I found the Peach Parfait Colorburst lip butter I was looking for! Here's a photo from yesterday so you can see my hair AND the lipstick!
(You can see the darker parts at the bottom of my hair!)
Okay SO now time for the outfit shots.
The ever so amazing and talented Chantilly and I did a little dress swap (you can see her style my dress on her blog post here)
Tulle had a big pre-black Friday sale and Chantilly snatched up this dress and I loved it. So I jumped at the chance to give it a try!
(See how she styled this dress here! - I just realized that we both wore purple tights!)
Here is a video, that I would consider to be embarrassing but, it's funny. My other half just LOVES taking video and pretending he's taking a photo. I was trying to do a serious look which isn't something that comes naturally obviously!
Now here's me trying to do my best "Chantilly" pose. She is a goddess of giving a *stop you in your tracks look* to the camera...as you can tell...not so much for me. But it was fun trying!
*trying not to smile!!!*
That's it folks!
Wears Head to Toe -
Glasses - Zenni Optical
Necklaces - thrifted
Dress - Chantilly dress swap!
Belt - F21
Tights - Hue from Dillards
Shoes - GoJane
That's it! Have you done any dress swaps with fellow bloggers or non-bloggers? I also swapped with Amber but the dress just didn't fit. I figure it's kind of a hit or miss thing to try but I would try it again!
Fabulous Friday Finds - AND my 200th post!
Friday, January 20, 2012
Holy moly! 200 posts?? That is nuts.
In less than one year I've racked up 200 posts. I hope you've enjoyed the first 200 and stick around for a couple hundred more!
So what's everyone up to for the weekend?
I have a long overdue hair appt (and eyebrow appointment!!) tomorrow. I'm almost all red, I've got some difficult black stragglers holding strong, if anything they will be grown out before too long and then chopped off!
Ready for some finds??
PS - It's Pay Day that means...I can FINALLY get the prints I've been eyeing from Kate!
While I do LOVE the lovely Emma Stone, it's the not reason for the photo, I am dying to try the new Revlon Colorburst line of lipstick. Peach Parfait in particular (which is what Emma is wearing) but my goodness it is hard to track down in a store!
These adorable nesting dolls glasses from Fred Flare are on sale for $15! Can they be any cuter? I would more than likely drink a delicious mimosa out of one of these on a sunny Saturday morning. Then again on Sunday...whaaaat? Yep.
This gorgeous mini terrarium necklace from Woodii is just amazing. It's so delicate and earthy. I love that it isn't too large. The pendant is only 1.5 inches long. (There is a 15% off coupon code available too!)
Ahhh! These distorted candle holders from Uncommon Goods are amazing! I can't stop looking at them. Captivated by candlestick. It's true. They would make such an interesting decorative pieces on a dining room table!
Swoooooon!! I love these! (and they are on sale!) The adorable dog and cat necklaces from Uncommon Goods are absolutely perfect. The chain is a great length. Not too long or short and the simple silver can go with anything. *can you tell I'm trying to talk myself into why it's a great idea to buy one??*
Ta da! That's it! See anything you like/love? Do you treat yourself to something when you have a pay day? (Usually one thing multiplies very quickly...kinda like bunnies)
Have you tried the new Revlon Colorburst yet?
Oh come on and follow along on Twitter or Instagram (SewSavoirFaire) too! The more people I have to follow the better...I get chatty in the chair while waiting for my hair color to be done :p
Talk to you soon!!
