Rebel Scarf

For someone that gets nearly straight A's in college, I have to find excuses for being a rebel.

A few things that I have considered to be rebellious in my life are as follows:

1.  Ordering a large blizzard at Dairy Queen instead of a Medium

2.  Not vacuuming my room for a week

3.  Wearing a skull print scarf

And there you have it folks.  My innocence has been totally shot by the aforementioned points.

As you can tell, I'm a bit of a wild one. 

Take a gander at my new "rebel scarf".

Owl Bank

My brother called me at work and left a message saying that there was a surprise waiting for me at home.

I was so excited to see a large Z Gallery bag sitting promptly on my bed when I 

entered my room!

I opened a box inside to find a lovely owl piggy bank.  

The owl is white porcelain and it is darling!

Thank you, brother, for the surprise!

I love owls! 

Next on my checklist? 

Little white owl salt and pepper shakers!

I put the owl bank on my book shelf.

Take a peek!

Thank you brother! :)

Up Close and Bow Personal

I have been very impressed with the delicate and dainty jewelry line that Lauren Conrad has at Kohl's.  

I recently bought the cutest little bow necklace.  

Even the fastener is a vintage style "pinch clasp".

For those of us on a budget, this jewelry is affordable and simply sweet.

Lauren says that her line is dainty and vintage inspired.

Not to get too up close and personal... but... I simply love this bow necklace.

Thrifty Dress Find

The best way to be thriftily happy?

Find a dress for $10.

Accessorize it to your liking.

Wear your look with class.

Be free.

Be wild.

Be you.

Life is too short.

Oh-- and don't forget to take advantage of this lovely summer weather that we're having.

Wear something that will keep you cool.

And... if you have a denim vest like me... get as MUCH wear out of it now as you can.

And that's an order.
