I've decided to start blogging! I wanted to know what all the hype was about so I decided to give it a whirl! I have always been a sucker for clothes, purses, stiletto's, working out, baseball uniforms.......or the boys who wear the baseball uniforms, make-up, sunglasses, oil paintings, The New York Giants, antebellum homes, good conversations with even better wine, so why not let other people know about my annoying vices and passions in life! You ready?


My mom came in town last Saturday and spent the night with me to take me grocery shopping (I'm still a poor college student) and hang out.........only we just don't stop after the groceries are bought!

yes, my mom bought two pairs of shoes (isn't she the best?) I had really not planned on her getting me anything but "if the shoe fits............." and I would like to add to that quote a little by saying "if the shoe fits.......and is on CLEARANCE."   The Nine west shoes (brown) were originally $89.00 but paid $18.68!!! and the Sophie Max shoes (dark brown) were originally $109.00 and paid $22.93!!! MONEY SAVED $156.39 at Belk. Can you believe that? I know the Sophie Max pair I can get away with wearing for another 2 weeks or so, but won't they look great for next fall?


When Mom arrived Saturday, she came bearing gifts.............

Again, Mom is the best! I spotted these beauties at Belk in Jasper during Christmas Break............They were on sale and I passed them up because i felt guilty for Mom buying me a lot that day and Santa had been really good to me for some reason (he must not know when I was awake like the song says.) After I passed up those Fergalicious open toe sling back stiletto's I regretted the decision and decided I LOVED them. My Mom went back to Belk and of course they were GONE!!! I made it my mission since December to find these shoes again! These shoes were originally $98.00 and Mom paid $21.00!!! How heavenly they are going to look with a flirty skirt or a pair of skinny jeans and dainty clutch next Fall!!




And from the shopping trip on Saturday I ACTUALLY  made a purchase!!

It's a new floor mat for the Kitchen......I use to have one that had wine glasses on it, unfortunately after 5 years of being spilled on, and spinning in the washing machine it was time to be thrown away! My kitchen is the only room in my apartment that does not have a theme. Honestly, I haven't seen kitchen decor that fits my taste............until now!

I know, I know its not that great but I swear if I see anymore Kitchen stuff with a hen or some big Italian guy with a chef hat I'm going to go crazy! So I have decided the colors of the decor will be apple red, crisp white, and black. I think I'm going to have polka dots and..............yea, it's going to take time!


That is all on shopping and decorating I have at the moment but in other scopes of life I'm still so happy for Sandra Bullock!!! she looked amazing and held so much poise at the Oscars on Sunday night!

 I was just thrilled she won! Sandra's acceptance speech was AMAZING!! I loved the movie 'The Blind Side' and thought she did such a wonderful job in her role! I teared up during her speech and teared up during the movie!  She is just one of those actresses you have to love if your a girl living below the Mason-Dixon line!  


This is also a love I have.....paintings, but paintings that involve human interaction or lack there of. There is just something about how an artist can use colors, a prop, or the emptiness in the eyes of a lonely girl.  These are the next poster's (again poor college student) I'm thinking of purchasing

now the problem is deciding which one to purchase, I already have 6 of his prints, and just thought I would keep adding, I need 2 that go together because i want to move 2 that are in my room to add to the 2 in the dining room.


That is all for right now, hopefully I will have more in the next few days!
