tuesday smiles

Why this smile today?

Well, my always perfectly accessorized Momma brought me this pretty necklace home from work today.  The necklace is from The LOFT.

I love the coral & plum colors (two of my favorites that I like to rock) and the design is so rustic and hardware inspired but girly and soft with the satin-like fabrics intertwined.  I really love it!!!

Thanks, Mom!

You're the best!!!

GUESS WHAT!?!

I'm off to the wonderful city of

 SAVANNAH, GEORGIA

tomorrow for a little road-trip with Mom & Daddy...

I can't wait...

 I think a get-away is just what I need right now!

I will try to post/stay caught-up on all your lovely blogs while I'm away, but if I seem M.I.A. these next few days - that is why!

I will be away being simply Southern, charming, and graceful.

Because in a place like Savannah... how can you be anything BUT?

peace&love

accessory swap!

Guess what?!?

I got my package in the mail from Krystal - my accessories swap partner from over at MJ's blog.  I got hers off in the mail so she should be getting it soon!!! I hope she likes what I picked out for her as much as I liked what she sent me!

This was my first "blog swapping" experience and it was a success!!!

I enjoyed it and I want to host something soon...

any good ideas on what we should "theme" it with?

Don't you love it?  So "Baily" right?

You did well, girlfriend! :)

THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

Guess what else?!?

I was EXTRA delighted by her sending this boho bracelet from AE because I have the same one, but I can't wear it anymore because it is so stretched out and faded. 

I mean, I could wear it but I usually choose not to because it's pretty special and has sentimental meaning behind it and I don't want to lose it. 

The reason it is sentimental is because it was the first piece of jewelry I bought myself after the fire.  My best friend/roommate, Jackie, had bought me my first "hippie bracelet" to get my collection going again a couple of days after the fire when we were both living in the hotel.  I loved it so much that I wanted another to go along with it.. you know, trying to rebuild my sleeve of boho bracelets and all.  I went to American Eagle and found this one which I though "hmm, that's so ME - pearls and leather... Southerny but eclectic."  And that's why I bought it. 

And that's also why I won't wear it - because I don't want to lose it and I let it get too stretched out. 

So, in other words - I won't let this one get wet like I did the other one and I will use the clasp and not try to squeeze it over my wrist/hand even though they're tiny, and I'll take extra good care of it since it is extra special.  I just thought it was SO NEAT that she picked out the same one!  It meant something more than a random blogger swap... that is what I am trying to say.

In her note, she said "I didn't know if American Eagle was your "thing" or not but they have good boho and vintage inspired things..." 

Well, I happen to love AE's jewelry! 

Seriously... check out my collection!

pretty groovy, huh?

peace and love
